I wondered into my dark bedroom and up to the bed and wondered why it was a couple inches away fom the wall. As soon as I got up next to the bed (in the dark) she did the "MEOW" thing and I did the thing. Apparently, loud enough to wake up my daughter to come see what happened.

I used to have a cat that stole the neighbor kids tennis balls and they would come to the door to ask for them.

Nope, based on common sense. If the lane is gonna end, why get in it.

Especially to pass on the right, which is illegal.

I stand corrected. As per the Maryland Driving Handbook:

"It is legal in Maryland to pass on the left or on the right, but slow
moving vehicles must stay in the right lane. Thus, most of your
passing should be on the left.

However..... Back to common sense.....
"Keep to the Right
You should keep to the right, except when your vehicle is about to
overtake and pass another vehicle or cyclist, or to make a left turn."

and also in the Maryland Driving Handbook.....
"Aggressive Driving
A person is guilty of aggressive driving if he or she commits 3 or
more of the following offenses at the same time or during a single
and continuous period of driving:
_ Traffic lights with steady indication
_ Overtaking and passing vehicles
_ Passing on right
_ Driving on laned roadways
_ Following too closely
_ Failure to yield right-of-way
_ Exceeding maximum speed limit"

At least the shower curtain could be used as protection if things got to wild

I call 'em Whoopie cushions. I especially think it's funny when I take of from a red light -

and beat them -

in a minivan full of kids on their way to Sunday School.


A good friend of mine is a deputy in Calvert, he told me that the police laugh at those guys because even with all that expensive junk on there most of those little things only have a top speed of about 80 mph.

Somebody needs to tell these wet behind the ears Mario Andretti's that we're not trying to race them. We're trying to get around the stench of their car that needs a tune up.

Either haul ass and get away from me, or let me haul ass and get away from you.

So you're saying that if your're doing 20 mph in the left lane on 235, everybody that passes you on the right is breaking the law Don't think so.

Ok, now that "definition" is just

"Driving on laned roadways" - WTF? First of all, "laned" is not a word (at least according to Websters). However, I'll just assume it's a roadway with lanes. I don't think I drive on any "unlaned" roadways.

"Passing on the right" - They just said it's legal...but if you do it three times (or twice on a "laned" road), it's illegal.

"Overtaking and passing vehicles" - So, I guess passing on the right is automatically two strikes.

"Traffic lights with steady indication" - I don't even know where to begin. I have no clue what that means. It's not even an action. There is no verb. My car doesn't have traffic lights. How would I cause traffic lights to have steady indication.

So, if someone passes on the right while driving on a "laned" road, it's automatically three of those "offenses" and is considered aggressive driving (illegal) even though it has already been established that passing on the right is not illegal.

You beat me to it. I was going to write a very similar response to this...

Especially that "traffic lights" thing.

that reminds me of a funny story that happened on 235 right in front of taco hell
I'm sitt'n there in my 2000 S-10 x-treme ext cab (now granted these trucks look like they are doin 120mph standing still) and up rolls a mitsubishi eclipse....
he had more racing/high performance stickers than paint on the whole vehicle! He had the most humongus wing on the back of this thing, hell the car it'self looked like a baby stroller..
so he revs his engine and points to the light, and i can hear his turbo blow-off valve hissing at me..i have to admit it sounded impressive...
i could see the right hand turning lane was at yello and even though i have no desire to run this punk to the next light, i reved my squirrels and hyper hampster to show him that "i'm game"...
just as lhe light turned green.............his blow-off valve sh!t the bed on him....
normally it's supposed to psssst.....psssst.....pssst every time he shifts........
instead all you could hear was pffffurt......pfffffurt......pfffffurt
his turbo then proceded to whine down and sh!t the bed as well...
so there he sat.......dead in the water........and i gingerly eased into first.....and cruised on laughing.......

 

[designerxboi]

My List

1. Bathroom Noises/Smells
2. People @ office luncheouns who dont contribute whatsoever but are first in line to eat, or anyone in a situation like that.
3. Slow drivers and reckless drivers. DO the speed limit, dont go overboard.
4. Liars who continue to lie after being caught in a lie.
5. Underqualified people telling me how to do my job.

There's more but those are the top five!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

These are the same boom-box creatures I was talking about...
As a kid in the late 70's - we had our 8-tracks and maybe if your Dad was good with electronics, he'd fix you up with a "reverb" switch.....

That was so "groovy" hahahahahahaha!



Loggin's and Messina RoCk!!!
CSN&Y are one of my favorites....

Nope, perfectly fine to pass on the right lane, but not the far right lane; ie: 3 lanes, the far right lane ends in less than a minute & you cut from right to left.


I guess this 3 lane thing, with the far right lane being a merging lane will always have there defense.


But, Like I said and feel, no need to be in it. The lane is senseless.
