I wish the city would hire a poo poo ton more cops to just cruise around citing the bicyclists. What? You don't have an ID? Ok, being it to the station and pay your fine to get your bike back, fucker.

Lol, no, I can see your car move, I'm not blind.

Put it on before you turn/switch lanes/masturbate, that way I know what you're going to do.

So you can speed up and prevent me from changing lanes? Even if my lane ends in a brick wall 50 feet ahead? I know your type, fucker. No way - I'll turn on the blinker when I'm good and ready (meaning I'm already in front of you and you can't box me out).

I miss my cat someone buy me a kitten.

Correct indication seems to be the first thing people unlearn around here. Pulling out of or into curbs is done without the slightest hesitation, indication or even looking most of the time. I'd also like to curse the people who leave the wrong turn signal on when going around a roundabout. I've counted three times now sitting and waiting for someone who is indicating to go all the way round only for them to turn off while still indicating around. loving. Flick. The. loving. Indicator. Stick. It. Takes. Five. Motherfucking. Microseconds. YOU TWIT.

Nobody does it though. I even indicated off the roundabout properly once and the guy waiting on the other side was so shocked he smiled widely at me as he entered and gave me a happy nod. He's probably met Mrs "gently caress it imma indicating all the way around until it goes off by itself fifty meters up the road" a few times himself.

The only thing an indicator tells you is that the driver's indicator lights are working. Never loving trust an indicator. People are dumb as gently caress and don't know how to use them properly.

I don't know if its just where I live, bus buses will randomly pull out into traffic w/ no signal and sideswipe you/force you to drive in the oncoming lane, and they'll run you over if you're a pedestrian at night.

You're a rolling obstacle only because, as previously noted, everyone around you is an impatient rear end who can't chill out and obey the rules of the road. The chill driver isn't causing accidents, it's the childlike need of others to get to their destination 2 minutes sooner that does.

(I agree that highway speed limits should be higher)
The "chill" driver is the catalyst for the accident though, if they weren't there everyone else would just be going their 5 or whatever over and there wouldn't randomly be a guy doing 35 on a road all the locals drive 40+ on. They really tried to correlate speeding with accident risks to have some valid motivations behind speeding tickets and such but every study ever done on it has shown that if everyone else is going 5 over the least safe person is the one doing the speed limit and the most likely to be involved in the accident.

Now you can say that's the other drivers fault for trying to pass inappropriately or tailgating or other road rage things, which is fair, but it still wouldn't have happened if the slow driver wasn't there in the first place. It's a Two wrongs don't make a right situation.

If you're driving slow on a 2 lane highway, pullover at the nearest convenient spot and let the pile of cars behind you pass. In my state after a certain number of cars that is literally the law (though it is seldom enforced). If you're driving slow in the left lane on a multi lane freeway then I really just don't know what's wrong with you to the point where you'd be that clueless.

I lived and and drove in Boston for a long time, and always thought it was the worst.

But now I'm out in East Bumfuck and everyone's either: 1. Old. 2. A halfwit 3. Disabled and it's the rare time you come upon a car able to do the speed limit. There's a stretch of straight away road posted 50MPH where you can bet folks will be driving 35 and no one will pass.

Rural drivers are retarded.

Spreading awareness is one of the most constructive things you can do. Think of all the African children that haven't died since Live 8 i don't have any statistics handy but I'm guessing a lot.

If you are driving in the passing lane passing nothing but the time you need to go buttfuck yourself to death with a broken bottle. You are not the speed setter....The police do that(especially in Virginia).

The PASSING lane is for PASSING CARS not the time, shitcunts.

If you're one of those people that cut in line at the last second because you think your time is more important than everyone elses you should take a nose dive off a cell tower and land eye 1st on a sharp stick.

And the motherfucking shitstain that thought it would be a good idea to shutdown 150+ miles of 2 lanes of I-35 from Austin to Dallas all at the same loving time just so they could work on a mile at a time needs to die of eye cancer and rectal cancer while on fire. THERE ARE loving TREES GROWING IN THE HOLES WHERE PERFECTLY GOOD LANES WERE YOU FUCKERS! Why not 20 miles at a time? :suicide:
