As a motorcyclist, I am against these stickers. I prefer the HOV lane empty or near-empty, and handing out these stickers will allow others the same advantages of me, without benefitting me, but negatively impacting me.

That’s how this works, right? If it doesn’t benefit #1, then fuck it?

Bullshit. The gov’t should not be in the business of deciding which days one should be open; that is for business owners to decide. If you want to work there, you play by those rules.

There is NO reason for one business to be able to be open and another not, just due to the nature of the products they sell. Since

Suuuuuuuree.... the ”win”....

Having driven a proper suicide shifter (right hand shift) and a ghetto mod (left hand shift) I’d say both are silly and showcase the form over function crowd pretty well.

I shift with my left foot. Sometimes I even pull the clutch in.

Holy shit. As an MSF instructor, I hate hearing this. There is nothing that encourages learning more than taking an interest in something, seeing a goal, and knowing you want the end result of a successfully passed class.

I have to teach DoT examiners as they cannot stamp for endorsements unless they carry that

Still looking for a proper three-pedal XJ to replace my 1998 that was taken from me by a left-turner at 220,000 miles.

This is a very nice example of an XJ, but those slushboxes used in those things are damn awful.

As someone who has 34 years of motorcycle riding under his belt, riding a vehicle that was designed an and tested without doors seems like less of a safety risk.

I’m pretty sure I don’t have to let my insurance company know when I turn of free stability control. TPMS is permenantly off, and I haven’t alerted them. I turn ABS off on my motorcycle all the time; oh noes, maybe they will void me.

I failed a PA inspection due to a faulty clockspring which caused the airbag not to function properly. As the horn remained working, the only way I could fail was the airbag.

Of course, most people performing inspections aren’t familiar with the procedure. This usually plays in my favor

Mostly ignored, but yes, it is enforced when revenue generation is needed.

Three buddies were lined up about 5 miles from Rausch Creek, each given a citation.

I understand that if you haven’t experienced something, it is hard to admit it is a “real thing”, but this does happen. Our Governor (Tom Wolf) posted a picture

Well, yeah. And I cant get the car inspected without reconnecting it, and there is a silly light on the dash.

There needs to be an option to turn it off. There should be an option to turn off ABS as well.

Mandatory Safety feature? OK, allow us to turn it off if we choose.

Problem solved for airbags, TPMS, TC, ABS, etc...

Pennsylvania anti-Jeep laws:
§ 175.77. Body. (f) Doors. A vehicle specified under this subchapter shall be equipped with doors of a type used as original equipment

There is some language that elludes to vehicles manufacturerd or modified without a roof, apparently, this doesnt apply (softtop is a roof).

Don’t fly. Got it.

This MSF instructor has a pretty decent sarcasm detector as well as an understanding of reality.

I dunno if I have the same confidence in the future of Mass Effect. EA loves killing franchises. Ask Burnout fans.

It means we will have drivers operating cars without emotion and without ignorance and a misunderstanding of law, personal importance and priority. We wont have automated cars bumping motorcycles, squeezing them in merge, opening car doors on them or wielding their vehicle as a weapon. Automated cars will not be

No, it is precisely how it works.

I’ve cited two for two reasons. Support your claim that lanesplitting does not ease congestion; cite your study.


Yes. What part of this are you dismissing? Laneplitting allows more vehicles in a timeframe through a bottleneck. And as such, the same study showed no detriment to paralleled traffic.

Why limit vehicles to the limitations of the most popular one? That is silly.
