There are no bonus points

For driving under the damn speed limit!


Thank you. Just wanted everyone to know that.

None for riding as close to the bumper of the car in front of you as you can, or for taking your half out of the middle.

[marble]

Or for NOT pulling up into the intersection when waiting to make a left turn on a green light. You know - so the person behind you and maybe a few others can make a left turn too, before the light changes?

Lame fool drivers.... :1spar:

[bluekazoo]

There may not be points awarded for going too slow, oddy, but if you go too fast, they'll give ya THREE ...

:1wall2:

[oddish]

LOL Blue. I'm not asking for more...no..no way. Just asking that if it says 65 we try to go ABOVE 40 is all.

[krisinluck]

So it's not just up here, huh?

Walmart is three towns south of us - about 24 miles, all state highway. Speed limit is fifty-freakin'-five. Everytime I have to head down there (for Walmart, or the *real* grocery store, or a doctor's appt) I end up behind someone doing 40...and hitting the brakes on the curves. What is that all about?

My favorite was the day there were six of us behind this old guy in a big assed Caddy with two old women in it....his top speed was 33. And one by one, we passed him. As I got by, the last two cars that were behind me whipped around too. And then he pulled over on the shoulder.

Can anyone tell me why? lol

Or for not using turn signals when making one of those pesky turns. There's a reason those devices are included.

Or pulling a large trailer without any brake lights. :1evil3:

Well before you get too angry at someone going too slow, try and think about it from their perspective ... it may be an older person, it may be someone who is looking for where they're supposed to be going, it may be someone who isn't feeling well, etc ... I much prefer folks go too slow instead of too fast, but then I don't drive, I'm only a passenger, so my tolerance / frustration levels are different, I'm sure ...

However, if they're going slow because they're on they're damned cell phone, well ... then the gloves are OFF ... :D

My feelings exactly. :)

You know what really pissed me off?


I'm driving to the next big town. About 200 miles so yah I'd like to go the speed limit. I'm behind slowpokes but I know that in about 20 miles there is a spot where it's two lanes. Slow traffic in the left..pass only on the right. So the slowpoke in front of me gets in the RIGHT lane and matches the other car the entire time until it merges into one lane again. Holy hell people you should all be glad I don't carry a gun.

[sadie999]

I drive slowly. :D

Peace,
Sadie

[oddish]

Put a sign in your window Sadie so I know it's you. Then I won't get mad.....I'll get even hahahahahahahaha

Here in Fla. they renew your license until you are 102. Doesn't matter if you can't see anymore. Slow is the norm. I am hoping that with the increase of gas, they will start taking the bus. http://www.zeldas.com/blinky/smile18.gif

One of the funniest things I've seen on the interstate I travel everyday to work:

Late model Buick sedan driven by little old man who can barely see over the steering wheel, two white haired women passengers, doing way under the speed limit, in the right lane - WITH A RADAR DETECTOR IN THE WINDSHEILD :1rotflmao :1rotflmao

And yes, I have to agree that if you can't crank it up to the 25mph speed limit in my residential area, get the hell out of my way. Especially on the perimeter roads where there are no homes with yards near the road. :1tantrum:

[cmhaas]

You pass on the right, Oddy? We pass on the left here. :)

I hate when you're on a two-lane road and someone (and someone always does it) makes a left turn from the right lane.

Also, I'd like to smack the dorks that insist on blasting their radios with the bass turned all the way up.

[oddish]

I also mix up right and left ;)

Just not when I drive...only when I talk LOL

[thentavius]

C'mon, guys! Don't you know there are only two speeds on most highways? Every car is either going 4 or 4,000.
