I like the options!! Yes, or Yes!!
BTW, I vote Yes!
Well, if I don't get a lot of votes, then it will be obvious that a lot of people would have voted "no". :shrug:
I think it's a good idea, since so many people really aren't learning this stuff.
I watched a girl pull out of San Souci the other day, headin' south. She crossed the solid white line and blasted her horn at the woman that had just pulled a U'ey and was in the next lane over from her.
This one seems tricky, but the woman who made the U-turn had the right of way.

I hear ya!! I have to turn left into my neighborhood and even though there is a sign stating NO PASSING ON RIGHT, people fly by on the shoulder all the time. I don't know how many times I've almost been clipped by someone.
Oh, and when my Daughter took driver's ed, they told her that she just had to slow down for emergency vehicles and let them go around her, not pull off to the right.

These driving instructors are a big part of the problem.

They are limits based on ideal weather and ideal driving conditions.
Or was your point that sometimes you have to drive slower than the limits?

Hey, why cant I select multiple answers, I like them both
Only thing is, you'd need a way to vet the information given, and good moderation to clean out the crud once in a while.
I'd be a moderator, clean it up every day or so, and make stickies from the pertinent information that had been posted.

So is the rest of the forums, that's why they're moderated.

And the lowest common demoninator for driver and machine. Meaning a half blind idiot driving a 1968 land yacht with full drum brakes and worn out suspension on bald bias ply tires will be safe at those limits.
In any case, for instance, many folks mistakenly think that yellow speed limit signs indicate legal maximum speeds. they dont, yellow speed advisory signs are just that, advisory only. Orange ones, however, are mandatory.
Two of my personal favorites are acceleration and decelleration lanes, and divided highway passthroughs. Very few folks actually understand how to use these features.
Accel/deccel lanes- These are for getting up to the traffic speed of the roadway you want to enter. You are not supposed to slowly creep out to the end of that lane and stop, then enter traffic a 20-30mph less than the trafic flow. Or, coming off the roadway, you FULLY enter the decell lane, THEN slow down for your turn. Dont slow to 20-30 less than traffic, then creep over into that lane. In both cases, dont be tentative, make these lane changes smartly, 2-3 seconds at most.
Median Passthroughs - Do not turn into the passthrough immediately, wait until you are on the far side, then turn. This prevents anyone coming from the other side into passthrough the from the opther side of the highway blocking your view on oncoming traffic.

They're out to get us
They are?
But slander is allowed in there and people are going to the cops because of it! AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO STOP IT! 
oh and this isn't such a bad idea, but it doesn't need to be a forum just 1 locked post somewhere

In My Opinion
It would just turn into a big fight thread.
the reason is that nobody will admit that what they do is wrong.. except me, I will admit that some of the things I do are just plain wrong and at times unsafe.
But, I think Im the only one.
just think of all the speeding threads where its the guy doing the speed limit thats wrong, or cell phone threads etc...
we all drive perfect, its ALWAYS the douchbag driving next to us thats the problem.
but, I still vote yes,, even if there was a no, I would vote yes, providing that the regulations are the legal explanation or rule/requirement in the state.
does any of that make even the smallest amount of sense?

They told this to my 21 yr old also....shortly after we were driving up the hill on Rt 5 before Fairgrounds, cop behind us....he flips on his lights(neither one of us saw it till he turned on the siren)....boy pulls over as quickly as possible....cops meets him at LHS and pulls him over, explains that he is to pull over immediately
Somewhere, some one does not have the correct information...personally, I think it may be the dick of a rookie cop that was trying really hard not to have me kick his dumb ass for trying to "show his ass" and put a scare into a new driver
I am a perfect driver....I will admit that to everyone
