semi-:offtopic: But I think it should be an FCC law/reg or whatever that emergency vehicle siren-type sounds can NOT be used in radio commercials/music on the radio. Nothin' pisses me off more than when I start to pull over and look around and in the mirrors for flashing lights because I hear a siren, to only find out it's on the radio in some commercial or song. :mad:

Here's the situation.... "As I come up along side of the beige/tan colored van (chevy Astrovan?) he/she decides to pass the car in front of it! DIDN'T BOTHER TO LOOK AROUND OR SEE ME ALONG SIDE HIM in the south bound lane........... "
She was not behind him as Dems continues to say.....

SOunds like she was in his blind spot, she was already in the lane, if he hit her it would be his fault. He probably had his music blasting as well. One should constantly be checking rearview, sideview mirrors and glancing out the passenger side window to keep track of traffic on ALL SIDES if the traffic is that heavy. And no, you can't keep your eyes plastered to the road in front of you. That unawareness is cause for many accidents as well.

Go NY on 'em Suz (by that I mean vent all you want, not go looking for the dumbbunny). I think we NY/NJ types were taught to drive differently? Who knows, but this could have been avoided if he had looked around first.

:yeahthat: I've never started to pull over, but I have looked around for the emergency vehicle because of that.

She thinks she had the right of way over him because he should have looked in his rearview mirror to see she was attempting a pass.

Okay, I see.

Suz is correct - she made the move first and had the right-of-way. The other guy should have looked to his side and checked his blindspot before attempting to change lanes.

Well if you say it than that settles it... Suz you were right... I'm sorry. :flowers:

I have learned alot from this interesting thread... look around before passing just to make sure there's no one coming up the lane going in the wrong direction that maybe in my blindspot. Thanks for posting!!! :huggy: And I apologize for driving the mini-van that ran you into the shoulder... :blushing: :huggy:

Although very rare, I have passed multiple vehicles in one swoop too in the many years I have been driving. The goober who pulled out to pass while you were next to him was definatly the goob.

When I have done it, it was usually not the typical situation, and not because I was late, or figured WTH, usually cars scared to pass someone poking, or a SMV.

My personal record was 16 cars at once. I only remember the first 12 because I was hopped up on a Vicks Inhailer and Dr. Pepper and passed out. I must have made it because I am still here.

j/k:lol:

Law, Schmaw. I went as a priority 3 and had lights only. I guess it depends on the driver, how law abiding they are.

See above for rules...... And she did not speed up to hit him as you continue to state. She was along side him when the moron decided to pull out to pass forcing her either into oncoming traffic or the shoulder. ALWAYS look behind and to the side BEFORE pulling out to pass!!!!! How hard is that???
