Shane's Driving Tip #56

Recommended Posts

Sunny and Phree have already heard this but,

When you pass the sign that says "Slower Traffic Keep Right" Look in your rear view mirror. If I'm eight inches off your back bumper flashing my lights-The sign is about you-Get Over!

If I'm eight inches off your back bumper flashing my lights



I tap my breaks hard enough to make the ranch hand rear bumper of my truck and my hitch (that I leave in for tailgaters) level with your windshild.

If I'm on my motorcycle, I toss the BB's I have in my pocket on your windshield.

But I doubt that you'll be in left lane pacing the car in the right for over six miles.



Just to play Devil's Advocate.... where said cars doing the posted speed limit?

...That's about the time when they'll slam on their brakes to avoid "debris" and make you rear-end them, thereby forcing you to buy them a new car in the settlement.

Damned if people do not think that their F-150 is a friggin M-1A1 Abrams tank once they're in traffic. I delight in forcing dickheads in Hummer H2s to do the limit.:)

I like the idea... does it work? Have theBBs got enough mass to leave a mark or just make a sound?

Depends on how heavy they are and how they hit, it'll make a sound usually. On occasion I believe it will chip or crack a windshield.

Honestly I don't care, since if they're that close to me on a bike, they are trying to kill me. If I have to stop quickly, they will hit me and I will die, so fuck them.

And that is what is wrong with traffic today. Too many of you say "fuck you!" instead of just sharing the road like any sane person should do. (I don't think any of us are sane.)

What are you driving while you're doing this? :S



A 1977 Jeep CJ7 that's far more capable, gets better milage, even with a 304 under the hood, made of solid US steel, and with a roll cage rated to industrial strength.

Even though I started this piss and moan session-I am a product of my inconsistancies-bikes are a special case. You never try to force up a bike-too many things can go wrong too fast.
Soccer moms in Navigators that have the cruise set 3 miles over the speed limit hanging out in the left hand lane while calling their hairdresser for a rush appointment-Those you try to get their attention.
OK, I don't really know if she was talking to her hairdresser.

Ok.

I was worried that you might be doing that in a Neon or something. B|:P

I'm glad you get it.

While in my truck, I really do take it easy. I'll drive 5-8mph over the limit, when possible, but honestly I do my best to leave room behind traffic that isn't going that fast and try to safely go around them if possible. Its not always possible to do that in traffic.

However, on my bike, I look at every car out there as trying to kill me, if they know it or not. Anymore they know where I am since their windows rattle when I get close to them.:D

However, I get a serious fuck you attitude when someone is trying to run me over while on my bike. Various things like the one previously stated, or memorizing your license plate, pulling over and calling it in for reckless, agressive and possibly DUI driving. I'm generally a nice guy until you try to kill me with your car.

Hand full of steel ball bearings would do better than the bb's

Yeah, nothing like sliding down the road at 40-50 mph trying to kick out from under a Heritage Softtail to help you "get it" Minivan, She may not have ever known she ran me off the road, yes or no, she never stopped>:(

The closer you get, the slower I go... The more you flash your lights, the slower I go. Don't make me slam on my breaks. You won't like what you eat.
