turn signals

[Eliot]

Well S-B'ers I made a serious mistake earlier this morning. I went for a 3 mile walk with my wife and we actually had a conversation. I know I know a bad idea but I did. I mentioned my decision to modify the valve stems of cars I observe littering......whew did I get an earful!!!!!! "You cannot be the World's Policeman." "Cutting the valve stems is just as bad as their littering...etc, etc....."

So I have decided not to do this. Instead I will obtain some blank bumpa stickas, write I am a Litterbug on them and slap them on the trunk lid of the offender.

Ah I feel better already.

What about when you are driving along at a nice steady clip and some idiot pulls out of a side street in front of you and takes the next right?
GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Just go to Staples and get that sticky computer paper.
You can make 8.5 x 11 bumper stickers.

My dad when giving driving lessons told me at least one telephone pole before you turn you should signal your intention to do so. i HEAR YOUR PAIN nEBE.

I believe these have in part led to my being treated for hypertension:
Turning without signalling ( a sickness with drivers here in NJ).
Right turn at a stop sign or red light without even slowing down.
Someone pulling out of a side street in front of you when there's noone behind you.
When you're approaching an intersection and the person comes in fast from the right, stopping in the intersection, a car length past the stop line making you think they aren't stopping so you swerve or jam on the brakes.

I wonder how old we'd live to be if half this crap didn't happen to us everyday?

Let's see....
Not using turn signals is as common as a Boston city rat.
My personal fav's are the 3 lane shift (without signal) that cuts off multiple drivers.
3 times I have seen idiots that decided that double yellow lines don't apply to them, so they proceeded to pass me on a 2 lane road.
I guess they think their miserably worthless excuse for existance is more important than someone else's life.
(When ever I encounter this behavior, I pray that they wrap themselves around a tree, ridding the roads of at least one problem.)

Another one is when approaching an intersection that has a "right turn only" lane, and the jacka$$es figure they can get a jump on everyone else by going straight when the light changes.

How about the "special" drivers that haven't learned or weren't taught in their fly-by-night drivers ed class that "it's a two lane road when there is a dividing line (single line) down the center.
I love the reactions I get when I proceed from a 2 lane to a single lane road and ride dead center in the lane, as these "Einsteins" are trying to pass me.

Of course there's always the issue of speeding, but that's for another thread.....
