The right lane
Actually, I yell at my ugly half all the time because he insists the left lane is perfectly fine. I prefer the right lane, and I set the cruise to 61-62 mph. Being a former cop, I know they wont nail ya for those speeds.

Oh Pete, I didn't know you were funny
a real cop, you idiot. There is no general rule, but in order to really hold up in court, you have to be doing at least 10mph over the limit. 7-9mph can be pushing it depending on the cops mood. It also can boil down to the angle the cop is parked in relation to your vehicle if he is using a doppler radar unit. Now, if h/she is using laser, forget about it. Your nailed. Doppler units can be tricky if you understand them. But, I understand that in St. Mary's if you get a ticket, you just have to do community service and that will take care of it.

Oh, me Oh my
I have been debating whether or not to entertain your comments. Should I waste my valuable time, or shall I go along? Oh, the decisions one has to make. It's like in that movie My Fellow Americans, if your gonna say it, go for the gold. Stool Sampler is funny, if I was a proctologist. And are you sure you are a local deity, or the town joke?

Lost me there, Where is my Map?
So, besides the whole left lane issue, what other annoying road habits have some of you observed?

Rubbernecking.
Coming to an almost complete stop to make a right turn.
Sudden lane changes with no blinker.
WIDE left turns so you can't go around.
And the number one way to PISS me off while driving: Speed and claw and scratch your way in front of me... then drive slow.

I ran a "nasty 5 letter word that starts with a B" who tried that into the curb in front of the Wawa on 235 yesterday.Originally posted by kwillia
Racing up the right "turn lane" and then whipping over back in traffic just as the turn lane ends.

Re: Lost me there, Where is my Map?
People who pull out in front of you... take their sweet time speeding up to the flow of traffic, causing you to come up right on them... then you look in your rear view mirror to find no cars behind you as far back as you can see...

MSP?
My whole thing is, if the BOCC wont put more deputies on the road, where is the traffic enforcement? I mean, people cry over the budget, but traffic enforcement can bring in some needed $$$. Now, I understand no one wants to get caught, but then again, if we obey the signs, we won't now would we? But I have no sympathy for lane runners

2 lane roads--- how about going below the speed limit in areas that you cannot safely pass, then speeding up above the speed limit in areas that are safe to pass... then slowing back down.

I don't go much further than there and would hate to have to give your back bumper a nudge.

Re: Lost me there, Where is my Map?
Jackazzes who see you put your blinker on to get over and speed up just so you can't merge in. Also jackazzes who see the "this lane ends" a mile back, yet try to zip all the way up and try and squeeze in.
Oh, and of course dingleberries that create a moving roadblock going 48 and 49 in the fast and slow lane.

Re: Re: Lost me there, Where is my Map?
got a good story for you...
turned on my blinker to change lanes to get onto a different freeway on the interstate, the little geo metro decides to start speeding up, i cut over, slow down to 25mph on the clover leaf.
i see these big semi trucks coming as i was about to merge into the new interstate, i gunned the car in front of them...
that geo metro was stuck between a semi to the front, to the back and to the side of it... BLOCKED IN!
HA, HA, HA
COULDN'T HAVE PLANNED IT BETTER! what a sweet revenge!
