Whoops, I guess I meant 4R55E or 5R55E, the 4WD Explorer trans before 2000. Same problem as the 4r100, they used 3rd gear drum for every gear, wore them out prematurely.

 I loved the cheap Opel’s. Astra XR with a 6 speed, anyone? Oh, and a Saturn Sky Redline plz and ty.

My opinion has little to do in this matter, but if you want it, it is that if someone wants in your lane you should totally allow them to, you have no idea what who or why that person is doing that, it could be anything. If you are going so fast it’s impossible to, you could consider slowing down to more the average…

The lack of threads were why the spark plugs would blow out, the breaking plugs were a seperate issue on a different head.

You had me at “Brake lines” my mind had blocked out all the brake line replacements over the years.

Lol that actually from backing into something with the tailgate down. The extra length doesn’t seem like much, until it does.

Paracetamol huh? I would need something stronger. Like an opiate, or whiskey.

Like, you personally? Or is your name literally General Motors? Are you GM incarnate?

They were both on the “highway”, they both had right of way. From where I’m standing, he was “reasonably” safe to merge.

You can get a ticket for literally anything, frivolous or not. Did he fight it? Was it thrown out?

If your referring to the DMV handbook, that is known as opinion in court and legal matters, you have to quote the vehicle code.

As much as I applaud the effort, every bit of that is open to interpretation and your “guesses” on distance count as nothing.

Here, you need to read this. I replied to this message so it’s higher up so hopefully more people see it. It not only details the law but also some insight into how it’s open to interpretation, muddy in the least.

Well how about you pull up the passage of the law where you are at that says you have to leave enough room for the person behind you? The reality is if there is enough room for you to physically get into the lane, then you are then “in the lane” when you get in, and at that point they are following too close. It’s…

As I said, and have quoted, directly from the law in my area.

And that is why I assume he was pulled over. “Unlawful braking on a highway”. It’s illegal to brake on a highway without an actual reason.

So I’m not from California, so different laws and whatnot based on region, but it looks like the Toyota travelled ~50m in its lane before it changed, so technically far enough. And ‘round here it’s illegal to impede someone’s progress that “has made an obvious signal to merge”, and local precedent dictates if you are…

Why? Are you tired of people letting you into the lane you signal for?

I agree 10,000%, and shutting the door on someone is known as “unlawful acceleration”. Charge the bastards!!!

Wut?
