Driving rules

[kenwood guy]

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

[chuck16]

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...

[rrousou]

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

[zirb]

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.

I'm sorry, I disagree with this 100%

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.......
