Royd 0 #1 November 11, 2006 Since we have one about lights, let's just go ahead and vent. I hate those directional islands that only allow you to enter a business from a right hand lane. I also despise those center islands that force you to drive 1/4 mile, and make a u-turn to get to a business on the left hand side of the road. Traffic engineers need them stuck up their asses.

downwardspiral 0 #2 November 11, 2006 People who like to sit in the fast lane on a LA freeway doing the same speed as the lane next to it drive me freakin mad. Especially when traffic is light enuff there is absolutely no reason for them to block the fast lane. www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gravitymaster 0 #3 November 11, 2006 People who sit 30 ft back from the car in front of them so I can't get in the turn lane and I miss my green arrow causing me to sit thru another series of light changes. People who run red lights. People who are distracted from talking on their cell phone. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GQ_jumper 4 #7 November 11, 2006 I hate people who drive like they are scared, I don't drive overly-agressive, but I do drive like I have somewhere to be, I don't cut people off, but when there's an opening I don't sit there staring at it like I'm scared to merge. Defensive driving makes the road even more dangerous IMO, if 99 percent of drivers aren't defensive than the one guy who is being excessively careful is making it more dangrous for everyone else. grow a pair and driveHistory does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

shropshire 0 #10 November 11, 2006 Pleople who leave their fog lights on,when I'm directly behind them... OY- If you can see the car in front of you , I can see you - or would be able to if I wasn't blinded by your fogs People who drive on side lights - EVER - they have no place in modern driving - use your Head-lights People who dont strap the kids down in cars. People who sit anything less than 2 seconds behind me.. Back off arsehole. People who have "Little Darling On-Board" stickers - Who cares? People who throw litter (fag ends) out of their cars And breath..... ahhhhh! That's better. (.)Y(.)

CornishChris 5 #11 November 11, 2006 QuotePeople who throw litter (fag ends) out of their cars I fucking hate that most of all. Filtering through traffic on my bike I regularly get used as an ash tray by thoughtless road users. My crowning moment was when the cigarette end landed in my lap on the bike so I picked it up and threw it back in the fuckers window. Cunt. I also hate people who can't use roundabouts - obviously on holiday from some large country I won't mention - there is nothing more annoying thn three people at seperate junctions of a roundabout all politely waiting for people to go - if it's clear then fucking go you useless useless bastards or I will come over and kick your teeth in.

usedtajump 1 #12 November 11, 2006 People who pass you on the freeway only to swerve in front to get off at the next exit. People who play loud, bass driven music while I'm next to them stuck at a overly long redlight. Oh yeah CornishChris, roundabouts are a piece of cake when folks drive on the right (proper) side of the road.The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Royd 0 #13 November 11, 2006 How about those new headlights with that blue color that literally blinds you. Those things ought to be against the law.

lurch 0 #15 November 11, 2006 The headlights are cool. Get over it. I want a set myself. They look very techy and modern and I can usually see better by the blue lights on the car next to me than I can by my own... Dim yellow halogens or bright bluish HID? I'd pick HID. Now the mufflers on the other hand.... Irritate. Favored by the wannabe ganksta crowd in a feeble attempt to make a beat up honda civic sound fast, I call em potato sockets.

happythoughts 0 #18 November 11, 2006 QuoteMy biggest pet peeve is when there's a "no u-turn" sign when you finally make it to the intersection. In Tampa, there is a side street that runs next to the bank. When you come out of the ATM, there are several no U-Turns in a row. Every night, the police park in the turn lane across from you on the first one with their headlights on you. You tend to look at the police car directly in front of you, instead of traffic signs. Of course, that is the plan. Guess who got popped for a $140 ticket by doing a u-turn while looking directly at the front of a police car? Along with that, I got an increase in insurance because I lost my no-tickets safe-driving record. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Application of the potato should be obvious. Blue light is scattered more by fog, mist and haze (and thus gives poorer visibility in those condition) and causes a greater reduction in night vision.

I assume it is like skiing, it's easier to see what is in front of you. It's not unreasonable, just different. I can't help but think that if people knew it would be their own fault for being "rear ended" while in the fast lane, they would be far more likely to yield to faster traffic, alleviating some traffic congestion. I think people should be aware of traffic in their rearview mirror just as they are aware of traffic in front of them. Driving is inherently dangerous. There should be some sort of incentive for people to maintain awareness of all of the traffic around them.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
