This commentariat consistently confuses what’s unlawful with what’s unsafe (and with what’s immoral). They’re convinced that yellow stripes are hot lava, and anyone who disagrees is a moral monster who belongs at Guantanamo Bay.

Professional traffic engineers are trumped by the political process. That’s if they are consulted at all. Much of what we see on the roads was decided by politicians and city/county employees with a HS education and their gut feelings and nothing more. And even when the professional traffic engineers get their say…
Have you ever rolled through a stop sign when nobody was around? Gone 5mph over the limit on the highway? Driven through a questionable yellow light that you technically should have stopped for?
If so, why would you deliberately disobey trained and experienced traffic engineers like that? Don’t you know that the mere…
From all the calm and rational comments I read on the other thread, I came to the same conclusion. If things are THAT different for motorcyclists in a world dominated by cars, and are THAT dangerous, just don’t do it in traffic.
Yeah, I got sick of reading them...
Couple of dipshits. I just let aggressive drivers go by these days, even if I have to slow down or speed up or modify my cruise one way or another. No point in getting in a pissing match or trying to pretend I’m dispensing street justice. I’d rather they just get the hell away from me.
Hmmm let me see. Pickup truck? check. Switching lanes with no signal? check. Getting all pissy because “Gerdimmit im in a big ass truck you respect me and let me merge into that lane boy”? check. Continuing to overcompensate for shortcomings by generally being “that guy” and send said pickup into the air like the good…
Why the fuck are we spending money on that shit? We have no claim to the South China Sea. If you have shit there and have a problem with China it deal with it your fucking selves. Why is it our god damn job to pay for that shit?
Or maybe they realize what a sham it actually is, and are investing accordingly.
Plan? So sending a multi million dollar warship loaded with young men near an armed military island created with only one purpose, extending military power, to act as bait to “see what they will do” is a plan? Smh.
False, the levels are much lower and reflect the actual driving. Lab tests do not simulate normal acceleration needed on a daily basis and causes more fuel consumption and therefore more emissions. If you took the cars and rated the emissions vs. fuel consumption and used that to develop standards you would have a…
A seven year old Audi with 60k miles and 50% more HP than it was designed for.
Oh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin’...
Growing up in Mississppi, I could carry a rifle through my neighborhood on my way to hunt squirrels and nobody looked twice...
Yes the public transportation helps, but it has more to do with the culture than the existance of public transportation. Even if there wasn’t public transportation they would let their kids roam on bikes, just like we (Americans) did in the past.
Having Driven, biked, motorcycled, taken buses, ferries and trains. I can assert that Driving isn’t the most stressful. Riding a motorcycle in the rain is the most stressful by far.
If I could afford to live next to my work I’d walk, but honestly, that would just bring about different kinds of stress. Being that close…
I walk to work these days and it’s great! however, previously I had a 25-minute commute with very little traffic and I found it kind of nice. Gave me time to wake up on the way there and decompress on the way back. Plus, I had way more time to listen to podcasts ...
I see your XJ-S and raise you a XJ-C ...
