It's time for a traffic rant.

As said before I know someone that thinks the problem is Audi, BMW drivers.

I have never been in an accident with another vehicle and have only had two tickets in my whole life. I have hit a couple cones before when I had our really big conversion van, I hit a pole with yellow paint. But I drove that thing all over. I have to admit, I got alot of respect with hat van. People let me over because they did not want to get in an accident with a van. Maybe that is where all this aggressiveness comes from. Could it be power?

All I know is if you drive like crazy and get killed you don't get a second chance. And if you want to screw your own vehicle, body , or kill yourself that is your problem. But to not 'get along' with others is the problem.

When in doubt, the worst paint job has the right of way.

ON my driving test the only thing I failed was the parallel parking test. Still can't do it.

If anyone wants to become the perfect legal driver, just let my two boys ride in the back seat...


"Dad, the sign said 35 and you're doing 40!"
"Dad, the sign said Stop, not Slow Down"
"Dad, that green light was really yellow looking"
"Dad, why are you muttering words that Mom doesn't like?"
"Dad, why are we stopping?"
"Dad, I'll shut up, I don't wanna walk home".

Just get a new luxury car that'll park it's self - technology is taking over for all our shortcomings.

Too bad everyones not like you CG

Speaking of tickets......
I just paid a ticket that I truly believe was ultimately intended for the guy flying past me in the fast lane.
I was speeding on 285. I had my cruise control set at 59. My better half was right behind me doing the exact same speed in cruise control. We were both in the slow lane. As I approached Wagon Trl on 285, I spotted a motorcycle deputy parked on Wagon Trl. I instinctively tapped my breaks and slowed to about 54. A guy in the fast lane flew past me doing about 75. The deputy turned on his lights. I assumed he was going to go after the guy doing 75 but nope......he pulled me over and claimed that he clocked me doing 74 in a 55.
I fought the ticket and ultimately paid a ticket for doing between 1-4 over the limit as I had been doing 4 over the limit. But if I had not fought it.....I would have ultimately paid for the guy who was really speeding.
How does a radar gun distinguish who is speeding in that situation?

Laser can distinguish individual cars, radar cannot. The beam on a radar unit isn't tight enough.

So.....I wonder how many times this happens to people?
