Advice to Drivers of Small Pointless Japanese Cars
The title of this thread could just as easily be "Advice to drivers of small
pointless American made SUVs".... I do not intimidate easily.... There is every chance that I will be driving something bigger than you are driving... You can announce your intentions for all the world to see - you will not achieve your goal until someone allows it.... What it boils down to - if you want to act like a ****.... Me (and many others) will be more than happy to treat you like a ****....

Your turn signal doesn't mean other people have to get out of your way. If you didn't drive such an overweight turd you wouldn't have to worry about people accelerating to block you. Of course they don't want to be stuck behind a huge overweight turn of a vehicle which why they speed up. |

When you > speed up in an effort to block my lane change, be advised I do not > intimidate easily. I see this behaviour sometimes, and I do not understand it. The drivers that try this speeding-up nonsense are usually in the passing lane but not passing anybody. They block traffic by driving at a slow speed or at the same speed as the driver in the right lane, until somebody tries to pull in front of them. Then they seem to be in a big hurry to accelerate, and tailgate anybody who gets in front of them, even trying to undertake the passing driver. Once the passing driver moves over, they speed up and then slow down, trying to get another driver to match speeds and block traffic again. Keep Right Except To Pass! |

Advice to Drivers of Small Pointless Japanese Cars
Just on second thought... I'm starting to have fun with this "top posting is
nasty" thing. I still don't know where the assumption that "top posting is nasty" came from... and all the wieners have ever been able to say is (in effect)... "Duhhhhhh, ahm gunna scroll down umpteen lines of stuff cuz it's what Ah does.... " So read this stuff at the top.... once you are done.... scroll down and read the stuff at the bottom. I'm sure you buffoons will find something disagreeable.

I still don't know where the assumption that "top posting is nasty" came from... and all the wieners have ever been able to say is (in effect)... "Duhhhhhh, ahm gunna scroll down umpteen lines of stuff cuz it's what Ah does.... " What you just read is a copy/paste of the first lines of this reply.... If you want to remark upon this thread, it is assumed that you will have followed the thread. Putzing down through umpteen lines of drivel that may or may not be hacked to ribbons is sure to leave some statements being taken out of context. So... in this light... I will continue to top post... for those of you that find this abhorrant... don't read the **** at the top - scroll down and do what ever little things it is you do on the way... you can read the exact same thing at the bottom... Please explain to my "why" this is "easier" |

But the little ****head didn't come in here and brag about deliberately doing something stupid and dangerous. What I am appalled by is that we've come so far in our society that anyone in here would applaud someone knowingly and deliberately proceeding with a lane change that has become unsafe. -- "The iPhone doesn't have a speaker phone" -- "I checked very carefully" -- "I checked Apple's web pages" -- Edwin on the iPhone "It is Mac OS X, not BSD.' -- 'From Mac OS to BSD Unix." -- "It's BSD Unix with Apple's APIs and GUI on top of it' -- 'nothing but BSD Unix' (Edwin on Mac OS X) '[The IBM PC] could boot multiple OS, such as DOS, C/PM, GEM, etc.' -- 'I claimed nothing about GEM other than it was available software for the IBM PC.

I think the original poster shouldn't have tried to complete a lane change when the space became insufficient. Because the circumstances don't matter in determining whether the maneuver was safe or not. > > >What I am appalled by is that we've come so far in our society that > >anyone in here would applaud someone knowingly and deliberately > >proceeding with a lane change that has become unsafe. > > As I said in my other post, I don't know whom to applaud. But, unlike > you, I don't know whom to denounce, either. I do: both, but the original poster more. It's only an assumption that the other driver was acting deliberately. Almost any one of us should know from experience that most people aren't aware enough of what is going on around them to act deliberately most of the time. -- "The iPhone doesn't have a speaker phone" -- "I checked very carefully" -- "I checked Apple's web pages" -- Edwin on the iPhone "It is Mac OS X, not BSD.' -- 'From Mac OS to BSD Unix." -- "It's BSD Unix with Apple's APIs and GUI on top of it' -- 'nothing but BSD Unix' (Edwin on Mac OS X) '[The IBM PC] could boot multiple OS, such as DOS, C/PM, GEM, etc.' -- 'I claimed nothing about GEM other than it was available software for the IBM PC.
