Every car should be required to come with cruise control, and it should be a federal law that you must be in cruise mode when in the left lane and your speed must be set to 15 mph above the speed limit.

Idk, I like to use it if the rain starts to fall very hard and I start to be at risk of hydroplaning if I don't significantly reduce my speed. :shrug:

how do blinking lights stop you from hydroplaning?

:chloe:

The lights aren't to prevent me from hydroplaning, idiot.

theyre to increase my visibility to drivers behind me who may still be travelling too fast, and might not otherwise have seen me in the heavy rain, which has reduced visibility.

so either people think they've somehow teleported from a freeway to a parking lot, OR mayyybeee just maybe they'll understand the flashing lights are meant as a warning, and drive accordingly. idk. you're right. people are stupid, and neither you or I should be allowed to operate motor vehicles. you fuckman.

I've received two reckless driving tickets for speeding, so now I drive the speed limit and stay in the right lane mostly. I also stay chill, even when dudes tailgate me for not going fast enough in the slow lane.

The only thing dumber is driving with no lights on, particularly if you're just creeping along way below the speed limit and then suddenly diving into traffic

It's like getting ambushed by a parked car

my favorite thing is when people weave between lanes and try to pass on the right and get stuck in the right lane with a car in front of them and a car in the lane next to them so they can't even hit the speed limit

also a huge pet peeve is when people use the shoulder to pass traffic in a jam, especially if they do the whole "my right turn signal is on, I'm totally getting off the highway...in a mile and a half :downs:" thankfully cops around here have started posting up on the shoulder and nailing 3-4 cars at a time :laugh:

I get pretty road-ragey though, I've come pretty close to throwing my half-full coffee cup/plastic soda bottle out my window so it hits the guy tailgating me's windshield., and I used to brake-check and wiper-fluid-check people way too often, but that kind of thing seems like a good way to end up with a vehicular manslaughter charge so I cut it out

When are you thanking the person behind you? Like if they let you into their lane? I should start doing that, people around here are such assholes that I'm always appreciative when someone lets me onto the highway instead of speeding up to 70 in a 55 in the right lane so I have to wait for them to go by. gently caress trucks forever though. Hm, yes, let me move to the passing lane on a 2-lane road to get in front of this other tractor-trailer, but first let me drive the exact same speed as the truck I'm trying to pass for 15 minutes.

Also if it takes you more than 5 seconds to figure out that flashing my high beams means "go ahead" I'm loving going

i love it when i'm feeling polite or unsure or whatever and I wave for someone to go first and then they wave back for me to go first instead and then I have to shift into gear and check my left and right and by then sometimes they start to go instead because I didn't immediately just peel out

I've slowed down to 25-30 and put my hazards on on the interstate many times. Everyone else was doing it so why not. If a cop wants to pull me over while we're driving through a hurricane/tropical storm where I can barely see 5 feet in front of me, fine.

yeah I think that's an extenuating circumstance

Always wondered why I so often see trucks put their hazards on but continue doing 70+ tho
