p.s. Another vehicle had approached him as his truck was spewing the gas and asked if he needed help or wanted him to call the FD; he declined.

I love how people here have to completely stop to make a 90° turn.I got hit because the guy in front of me stopped to make a right hand turn (okay, he slowed way down) but the azzclown behind me wasn't paying attention and did not react to my brake lights going on.
If I can make a turn at 30 mph in my SUV and not flip, wreck or lose control at all, surely we don't need to stop before turning.
I also love how people slow down to change lanes.

anywhere from 26-30 on the f150 07 depending on trim, but some trucks have duel gas tanks so they can hold even more fuel...
you did the right thing, too bad other people are so ignorant.

Pulled over
I was on my way to a friends birthday party at a bar when I got pulled over by a State boy.
He saunters up and asks:
"Have you been drinking?"
"Not yet" sez I.
He gives me a fishy eye.
I ask:
"Why did you pull me over?"
"One of your license plates light are loose, get it fixed"
Boy did that put a damper on my night, although I didn't see him on my way home.

The cop told him, "Future advice, nobody drives the speed limit on this road."
: I can imagine the hairy eyeball you'd get if that was your reply to the police officer!I've found that people tend to creep up on my bumper to prevent someone in the right lane from cutting in front of them, not that they necessarily feel comfortable being that close to the car in front of them. Just prevent. that guy. from getting in.
"No, officer, I'm not coming from a party, but I'm trying to go to one. Just running a little late, that's all" is a good answer, too! Politeness and cooperation most always being the key.

They just changed the speed limit on our street to 40 mph on ONE SIDE of the road, it's 30 on the other side, which is
I also love how they stuck a stop sign on Hamilton (without any road signs indicating there was a traffic pattern change or a stop sign ahead) and had police sitting there everyday the first week they had that sign pulling people over for running the sign.
You're not one of those people that slow down 30 mph before getting into a 500 ft long turning lane, are you?

Was on my way to Target from Pax River after a hard day's at work last Friday and this lady driving a silver 2004 Honda Accord Coupe was driving to the left of my vehicle. She proceeded to move behind me once we passed Immaculate Heart of Mary. Then in front of the new Toyota dealership she moved up to the lane on my right. Then when we got to Wawa in SanSouci, she jets in front of me. So we are going a steady pace in the center lane and all of the sudden right before the light to SanSouci, she slams on her breaks to a stop all while traffic is moving at 50 mph. She waits till two cars on the left pass through the light, and then floors it to the left turning lane into SanSouci. You dumb a** b!+ch (you made me cuss), who the hell taught you to drive. You almost caused a very bad accident. You almost got a taste of my bumper, and if that had happened, you would have been in a world full of trouble, and I'm sure that all the base commuters would have given you a taste too! Ever heard of just staying in the left lane for less than a mile just to make that left turn? Or, have you ever heard of a U-turn? You could have u-turned at the next light at the Chancellor's Run Rd. intersection if you didn't have time to cut across 2 lanes to turn into SanSouci. Next time you pull a dumb a** move like that, it could end up in tragedy and I hope that someone sues the socks off of you!

Very polite and extremely cooperative! Especially during a fishing expedition.

Just call 911 and report it. A store isn't going to get a customer in trouble if they can ignore a problem.
If you'd have called DNR and reported a fuel spill, they'd have had a containment team there

Well yes, EVIDENTLY I did, I will say I wasn't all there when I was posting, my coffee hadn't completely gotten to my blood stream when I posted.
Where the hell did he say anything about 235?
No one said 235, there I was just saying as in one case.......
If one cannot see a red stopsign, they are not driving safely.

Good on you for telling the store about it, kind of sad that they felt the need to do nothing about it (well we can hope maybe they called the FD anyway)

I wonder if the lady referenced in my message above caused this accident (click here). She drove the same kind of car and the license plate number looks similar.

if that is your daughter please save her life and take the keys.
All the way down st andrews road her and her friend were bopping ot the music and swaying in and out of the lane, speeding up then coming to a complete stop.
Several times the driver was dancing with both hands in the air or swinging her arms back and forth while driving.
When I passed them they just giggled.
They are going to kill themselves and someone else.

It caught me by surprise. Once I saw it, I stopped.
I've seen people attempt to stop when they see it, but not make it. I guess I have better brakes than them.
I thought, in fact KNOW, that there's regulations on placing a stop sign somewhere. There has to be some kind of advisory on the road stating there will be a lane change, and there has to be a Stop Sign Ahead sign placed there for at least two week. That wasn't done.

We're all mad here.
Maybe we should start a young drivers thread to notify parents. It may not do any good, but just maybe a parent will see and at least talk to their kids. We can complain about people over 18 and with their own vehicles online until our fingers fall off, but if those people actual ever see it I'm sure that they'll just laugh and be happy that they made someone angry. Maybe if a parent sees this they'll care enough to sit down and chat with them. Maybe I'm just being too much of an idealist again...

I can tell you exactly which demographic most of the ignorant drivers I've dealt with fall under, but then I'd be racist.
