Driving rules

Hey, I think we should compile a list of rules for driving, I'll go first:

1) If one of your headlights burns out, that does NOT make it ok for you drive around with your brights on; go replace the damn bulb and quit being a turd.

I think this post should be deleted due to the fact that this should be a complete web site by itself. There are way to many idiots out there.

2) Don't tailgate me when going down the highway. My steel bumper will shear your hood off... after the tri-ball reciever hitch tears through your bumper, condenser, and radiator.

3.) If you're pulling into a parking spot and you're not quite sure if you're turned sharp enough to avoid tapping the vehicle next to you... quit being a lazy ass and back up and try again!

4) When I turn on my turn signal it is not a sign for you to close the 5 car gap in 1 second, I AM coming over... :nutkick:

5) when construction traffic is merging, don't be the jack off that tries to drive all the way up to the barrells, while everyone else merges. You are the reason everyone has to slow to a stop.

PS don't be surprised if I come in to your lane to keep from passing me in this situation.

If you are turning, USE YOUR TURN SIGNAL FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!

6) this one is simple....GET THE FUCK OFF YOUR CELL PHONE!!! and if you are lost in another neighborhood, dont stop in the middle of the street and try to figure out where you are...pull over, i got somewhere to go.

make mine a ditto on number 6........hang up and drive! why is it people on cell phones slow down and stay in the fast lane?

#5 - I love it when semis move into the ending lane right as a car is about to speed by. I've seen more than one car just about take the ditch.

#6 ers are all voer the place. Just today some jerk in a lexus was crawling down the centerline talking on his cell phone, no turn signal on, and going no faster than 10mph in the 35 zone. Was he turning left and trying to get over so I didn't have to slow down? Did he think he was pulling a trailer and needed to make a wide right turn? Was he unaware he was operating a motor vehicle on a roadway? Did he need a swift kick in the ass? I'll tell you this: he wasn't turning left, he looked confused, and if he'd slowed down any more I could have ran up, opened his door, and introduced his rear to my size 16s.

I honked the horn, put on my left turn signal, and hit the gas. I think the horn along with the roar of glasspacks 6" from his precious car might have scared him off the road for awhile (and yes, his window was down :evillol:)

7) When someone in a Chevy Aveo or similar pint sized car double parks, you should be able to use your bumper to "nudge" it out of the way.

lol i hate those people who think they are better than everyone else and have to take up 2 or even 3 parking stalls so that people dont park by thier car and scratch it. I UNDERSTAND if your car is a mint condition classic or a freaking awesome newer silverado with really fancy paint and stuff, but the people i see doing this are driving cars like ford focuses and mazda miatas that are completely stock and completely not fancy in any way shape or form. heres a good set of rules for this kind of parking.

1) your car must be mint condition classic or be very modified and worth a lot of money

2) if the store is busy and people would need that stall, then i dont care what your car is, dont park like that. i have it when i try to go to the store on saturday afternoon and some dink has his lexus parked at a 90 degree angle to other cars.

3) NEVER pull the old "hazard lights parked at the walmart entrance" trick. i hope you get towed if you do lol

4) consider not driving your fancy car to run errands. chances are if you can afford a car nice enough to park like that, then you can afford a beater or a normal car to run errands in.

The one that makes me want to get out the bat is the semi drivers that feel that need to be in the other lane cause they think they can accellerate faster from the light than the OTHER semi driver. GET INTO ONE FU$#ING LANE!!!!

lol i hate those people who think they are better than everyone else and have to take up 2 or even 3 parking stalls so that people dont park by thier car and scratch it.


for this one if there is ANY amount of room in the spot next to him, I will park in that stall so he either needs to wait until I decide that I'm done shopping and leave or has to figure out how to wiggle their vehicle out of the spot. This works better if somone is willing to do the same thing on the other side of them. Oh, and dont forget to take the licence plate # so when you get a ding or scratch, you can call in a hit and run and have their info.

And I also agree with the first post about the highbeams.

#9 it does no good to tail gate to get the truck in front of you to go faster on a two lane road with 4 semis in front of the truck. that poor chevy cant drive under semis or make them go any faster. if you leave late expect to get to work late.

construction traffic is fun all the ones that try to hang in the closed lane sould be made to stop. untill the trafic in the open lane clears.

seen cops giving tickets to cars trying that stunt. it was funny going by every one in a rush and a line of cops stopping cars trying to pass in the brake down land, and at the end of the closed lane. the chatter on the cb was get over or get a ticket. all the truckers picked the open lane.

I hate people that drive exactly in your blind spot and the people that clog up all the lanes by driving side by side to each other and don´t let yuo pass...

If you are on a side street waiting to turn into the lane I'm in and there are NO vehicles behind me- WAIT for me to pass. Don't pull out in front of me at the last possible minute and drive slow, when you could've waited an extra 5 seconds for me to pass, and then pull in the lane behind me.

How 'bout people that dont know how to use the cruise control.

they see you gaining on them so they speed up, then start slowing down untill your next to them, then speed up again. Meanwhile traffic is starting to backup and I'm playing stop and go with my brake and cruise control......

Exactly what I was gonna say, I CAN'T STAND THAT! Don't come bitching that it's a manual or you dont have cruise, because I drove a Ranger with a 5 speed in it and no cruise control and I never had a problem keeping it at a steady speed, or with my Caprice that also had no cruise.

#10 If you're tailgating me and I don't pull out of your hurried-ass way, don't bother flashing your high beams at me cuz I can't see 'em anyways you moron.

How about this one..
If your not in a semi, don't take turns like a semi!
seriously I see it all the time, say traffic is going around 50 mph, then WAY before the turn, they slow way down, take the turn wide like a damn retard, causing everyone in that lane to slam on the brakes.

Yeah, seriously: don't come to a stop to make a right hand turn

what about this...
dont enter the fuckin intersection on a green unless your gonna be clear of that intersection when the same light turns red...used to really piss me off when i lived in atlanta...
and another thing...if you drive a POS riced out honda, dont put 30 fucking fog lights on the front of your car...your not rallying after dark and it blinds people cause they dont know how to aim them...

and about the parking thing--i just keep a tow strap in the truck and pull and leave them in the parking lot lane...or i try to block them in, and another thing--if there is an emergency vehicle on the side of the highway with lights on--ie cop ambulance fire truck...GET OVER TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE FRIKKIN ROAD!!!give them an open lane...

AMEN THANK YOU!!!

people who slow down for green lights just in case they might turn red piss me off!

people who slow down for green lights just in case they might turn red piss me off!

Green Light = GO!
Yellow Light = GO FASTER!

AMEN THANK YOU!!!

I concur!!

anyone got any new ones?

yea just because a cop is sittin there gunnin people dont slam on your brakes and go 10 mph under the speed limit, they arnt gonna pull you over for goin a few mph over and if they do they r a real dickhead. all that does is jam up traffic and piss more people off

hey dumb ass the right lane is the slow lane so get in it. and if your gonna pass that slowguy in the slow lane hurry ur ass up peddle that ford a little fasterand get by him. dont sit there and do half a mph faster than him and take ten miles to pass.

2. its a merge lane use it as one it doesnt mean stop and wait for a 2 mile opening.

3. hey mr.trucker driver wash that damn trailer your throwing rocks and dirt at me.

4. go ahead ride my ass when i slam on my brakes my hitch will go through your rad. hahahaha.

5. and take that damn big exhaust tip off your jap crap car it looks stupid the sound doesnt impress me. my lawnmower sounds exactly the same.





AND ALWAYS REMEBER I OWN THE ROAD SO GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY

If you have no good reason DONT drive anything less then the speed limit

If your going to have fancy headlights make sure you aim your them as well. or if you raise your truck 6 feet off the ground make sure the headlights are in the right place. Nothing more annoying then a ricer behind you with HID Pop Up lights and one is pointing up and the other right in your mirror. Don't be surprised if i aim my power mirror back at you.... oh yeah and don't bother high beaming me...nothing get's through the 3 panes of glass...

Lead, Follow, or Get the Fuck Out Of The Way!!!

Don't ride my ass at night with your high beams on. Unless I'm driving the beater truck. You won't be the first to have a trailer hitch in your water pump. Damn deer like to jump out, ya know ehh

Two words for that: cargo lamp! I have no problem flashing the fools behind me if they are following me with their brights on.

1. If I'm merging into traffic (I do it properly - at speed), don't speed up to prevent me from getting in front of you. I'm just gonna cut you off like you don't exist.

This is a real problem in NJ. For some reason people think if they're in front of you driving that they're in front of you in life or some bullshit.

2. If you're driving slow in the left lane, I'm going to (sanely) pass you if I can. Don't speed up to prevent me from passing you then slow down again when you're next to another car...

3. If you see someone in another lane press their brake lights and there is NOONE IN FRONT OF YOU, don't hit your brakes. You are in control of your car...drive like it.

on snow and ice, if you think the safe speed is 35 mph, do not slam on your brakes when you see that your doing 40 mph. just step off the gas your car/truck will slow down. this makes every one behind you slam on there brakes and slide. you know ware you want to trun use the turn sig a head of time and slow down slowly. tap your brakes to show your slowing down.

when pulling out on the highway, do not wate for me to get almost to the road your sitting on to pull out. if you pull out in front of me on the highway you better be able to do at least highway speeds.

there was a guy every day that would pull onto the highway and only do 35 mph. I think he was trying to get more checks from the insurance company. he would pull out when you were 100 ft from him. every one that drove the road would learn to spot his car and slow down.


when turning right off the highway do not come to a complet stop on the highway and look for a parking spot in the parking lot. we have a restaront that the old folks like, yes thay do stop on the highway and look for a parking spot. one day on the motorbike I turned into the parking lot and went all the way around the building and out to the highway. the old fart was still stoping cars on the highway. it took me 5 min to drive at 2mph around buildings on there grounds.

inevitably, during winter someone from florida, or another southern state comes up to indiana. Don't be scared, you do not have to drive 10mph in the snow, while everone else is doing 40-50. drive straight, stay in one lane and you will be fine. slow down early, and DON'T use gas while turning at speed.

Don't turn on the foglights when there is no fog.

My favorites from above:

1. WHY the hell are you swinging wide to the right to make a left handed turn? You're driving a car; and I can do it in my truck without swinging wide.

2. Your car will slow down a few mph by itself; take your foot off the gas. You do NOT need to stomp on the brake pedal when you're doing 37 in a 35. or worse; 68 in a 65 zone. Use wind and friction to your advantage; it will save your brakes!

New one:
You should have to pass a test that consists of:
A: Parallel parking
B: Backing up
C: Using signals
D: Common sense about the MASS of the vehicle you are driving
E: How to drive on something other than dry roads (rain and sand)
BEFORE you can take ANY TRUCK or SUV off the lot


Have a good night all.

You should have to pass a test that consists of:
A: Parallel parking=You do need to pass this when getting your license.

B: Backing up=Hafto back up(in Maine)60ft along a curb without swinging into traffic, or turning into curb.

C: Using signals=Won't be getting your license without these.
D: Common sense about the MASS of the vehicle you are driving=In todays age, common sense is few and far between.

E: How to drive on something other than dry roads (rain and sand)=I agree with you here. Although most states around here require you to take some kind of drivers ed class.

Heh..

Don't turn on the foglights when there is no fog.

I'm sorry, I disagree with this 100%

Don't turn on the foglights when there is no fog.

I'll turn my off when you get everone (especially the little ricer shitz with blue bulbs) to turn their's off. I agree with jeverett.

Here's my contribution:

Hey, old man with the head full of white hair(or maybe even balding), just because your v6 convertable is a "mustang" doesn't make it fast or even cool for you to be driving it, so stop revving your little hamster engine at me like you want to race. My truck makes more hp at idle than your car does at optimum rpm, so stop making yourself look stupid by constantly losing to me. I'm not trying to beat you, I'm simply driving at normal speeds, which is still faster than you.
Sell that car to the target consumer(16-18 year old girls), and get yourself a real car if you wanna race.

P.S......younger chicks in no way think its cool you're driving that convertable v6, so stop riding around the highschool hangouts thinking you're going to get laid. That is all.......

I concur.... :lol: :lol:

I disagree with turning off the fog lights, I like mine on. As far as people brighing you, install a set of 55w or stronger on the back bumper, help with backing up and Very blinding to the people that are brighting you.

I also disagree with the fog lamp comment. My wife's van's headlights suck, and the fog lamps help ALOT!

If you can't drive in the snow/rain/etc. STAY HOME!
If you live where you have snow BUY SOME DAMN SNOW TIRES!
I can't tell you how many idiots in $50k+ cars I see driving around in the winter on summer performance tires.:shakehead

Sell that car to the target consumer(16-18 year old girls)

BINGO! Though, I would say more like 16-22 y/o girls, that's still my point: That market is the only thing that has kept the mustang alive while the F-body died out. Girls don't care about performance, all they know is they want a mustang that moves when the gas pedal is pressed (remember the 4 cylinder mustang from the 80's?).

1) When I'm driving on my streets (the streets i drive on every single day) don't think your shitty honda is fast because you pass me while doing 20pmh over the speed limit... you clearly are not aware that there are 3 cops posting on every block... i hope your dumbass gets a ticket.
2) If i pass you on the highway and im going the speed limit, don't speed up and stare at me... i own the fucking road.
3) If you are making a turn... use your goddamn turn signal because if you don't my grille will swallow your back windshield.
4) And last... if im merging lanes do not speed up because i will not stop for you... my car is 3x bigger than yours.

There are too many idiots on the road who are not aware they have control of their vehicle... if you're not sure how to drive it please do not drive. :)

To all the rest of you silverado drivers... i admire all your posts because we are all the same.

DO NOT RUN INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHEN ITS DARK THEN JUST STOP 1/4 or 1/2 of the way!!! I assume your trying to beat my truck when im going +40 your forcing me to jam my brakes and your playing with your LIFE that just happend to me tonight!!!!..... dumb ass people in this world Man!!!!!!

Hey mister in that big white cadillac, When I comming down a country road with my blue lights on responding to a fire or wreck, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!!!!! I know you can see me, I aimed my high beams to go directly into your mirror with my wig wags on. And when you slow down, move over, there's enough on the side of the road to keep you cadillac out of the ditch, just get out of the way man.

This, I will agree with totally. I have that same damn problem.

I figured I would hear some dissent reagarding foglights. To me, it's similar to being highbeamed and generally it's when they approach from the front that bothers me. I also keep my dash lights on the low side of dim.

I had one guy flash me for having my foglights on... then he got hit with all 4 of my headlights. That was the end of that argument. Of course, I do have silverstars in the high/low beams, and my foglights, but my high beams are A LOT brighter than my fogs.

lol heres a good one for just applying to me... dont freaking flip me off because i drive a honda accord... im just using it until i get done restoring my 73 chevy truck... its like friendly fire lol

o yeah another thing, if you see me going 50 miles an hour towards you on a 2 lane road, and you are turning from a perpendicular street to mine, dont pull out in front of me, making me hit the brakes, AND then to add insult to injury they will go like 25 in the 45 zone, with no cars in front of them, so i have to meander along behind their slow ass for over a mile before the road either gets another lane or i get to my destination... i figure, if youre gonna go 25, why did you have to cut me off? To save time??? i dont see how people could be such idiots, if someone is behind me and trying to hurry and i notice them, i speed up so that they arent held back by me and hence i get one less person wanting to flip me off lol

Hang-up and drive or get off the Bloody Road!!!!! (Especially in heavy traffic!!!)
