I only have to turn on my parking lights now that my car has DRL, one less click of the switch!

two reasons:

they didnt want to get wet pulling you over and you are a woman, so shitty driving is expected

2/14/2007 9:48:07 AM

My car has DRL so I don't click shit.

2/14/2007 9:49:16 AM

Neither car I drive (bf's PT, or my celica) have them, but I turn on lights no matter when or where I'm driving. I'll probably get a car at some point with those, and take a very long time getting out of the habit of turning on lights right after buckling up

surprised they didnt give you a ticket for driving too fast for the conditions of the road on top of speeding.

I deliver gourmet food 5 days a week, in a 16ft. reefer truck, and today sucked ass. from 6:30 am
until 2:30pm it was a nasty mix of:
no-light-using, non-signaling, ass-riding, abrupt-lane-changing, 20+ over the speed limit, weaving recklessly, brake stomping, 3 lane-changing withou signaling on 40, no wiper using on 540 going 85 mph with no rain-x, giving right of way to a red light in a 45 mph zone just after the crest of a hill, non-parallel parking, cell phone using, BOOK READING!?

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH TRAFFIC HERE?

It's like Raleigh is a black hole that sucks in every bad driver ON EARTH, and throws them at YOUR CAR!

I'm selling bumper stickers, pending interest: they will say
"USE YOUR GOD DAMN TURN SIGNALS MOTHERFUCKER"

$10

anyone interested?

size is still up in the air - I'm considering 30" long, to cover the entire rear bumper!


oh yeah...
SIGNED

I can't, because I don't wanna deal with my family's "OMF PROFANITY", and the most religious one is the one who gave me the cash to buy my car, but I've considered something to the effect of 'it won't kill you to use your blinkers'. But a little more caustic.

3/16/2007 3:44:20 PM

how about:
"Not using your signals is balderdash!"
or
"Use turn signals, kk? tnx"
or
"Signal to turn, get a gold star"
or
"I signal because I care"

Woman driver.

Lexus SUV.

Far Left Lane on 40.

70 MPH.

No Lights.

On a cell phone.

In the rain.

I'm not even sure where to begin on this one. I think blinding searing hatred is a good place to start.

It should be legal to shoot people if you have a good enough reason.

4/11/2007 9:05:08 AM

SAW 5 CARS WITH NO LIGHTS ON

4/11/2007 9:43:40 AM

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

4/11/2007 9:43:56 AM

at least 10 on my way home.

4/11/2007 11:15:42 AM

this morning at 7:30, tons of people with no lights on

i flashed every one of you fuckers

4/11/2007 11:28:30 AM

YOU SHOWED THEM!!!

4/11/2007 11:28:48 AM

Mine come on by themselves.

4/11/2007 11:28:58 AM

i'm surprised this problem hasn't been fixed by now due to this thread

i also wished for them to run off the fucking road

4/11/2007 11:39:55 AM

i get just as angry at people who drive in the rain with just their parking lights on!!!

They are called "parking lights" so turn on your fucking headlights! you're not cool for running you parking lights! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH GRRRR

4/11/2007 11:48:53 AM

It does look pretty cool on a Corvette though.

4/11/2007 12:24:55 PM

i've heard sirens all day long

must be due to the morons without their lights

4/11/2007 4:31:25 PM

signed

4/11/2007 4:33:12 PM

another siren

wtf

4/11/2007 5:58:59 PM

bttt

USE YOUR TURN SIGNALS
drive the speed limit
slower traffic keep right
pay attention to the stop lights and go on green

9/24/2007 8:50:47 AM

i saw so much of this, that and folks without their lights on at 8pm at night....

9/24/2007 8:54:09 AM

my car has this option where it will turn on the lights for you if the windshield wipers are on

it also turns on my headlights for me when it's dark enough

i love it

9/24/2007 9:13:29 AM

Is it legal in N.C. to flash your brights at people for being retarded? I always want to, but I'm hesitant since there are so many cops around here and I don't think it's legal. I know in Ga. it's illegal.

9/24/2007 9:35:11 AM

It's aggressive driving which I think is illegal.


But people around here REALLY need to learn how to use their turn signals.

9/24/2007 9:36:42 AM

and here i always thought flashing the brights was a fairly universal way of letting someone know to get out of the passing lane so you can get through.

I don't give a shit. I do it.


Driving makes me very and hateful

9/24/2007 9:48:16 AM

^^Seeing as how that works less than 10% of the time I try it, I'd imagine it's not that universal.

But, yes, on the autobahn if you see lights flashing behind you, you best be moving the fuck out of the way.

God, I wish it were like that here.

^I've resorted to laying on my horn the entire time I pass someone while it's raining and they don't have their lights on. Sadly, they never get the hint and probably think I'm just some crazy moron.

Yup


Same for the bastards driving around when it's still technically dusk (when their lights are supposed to be on anyway), but not get dark, and don't have their lights on.

9/24/2007 9:58:06 AM

bttt for all the idiots i saw driving with no lights

10/24/2007 9:33:20 AM

seriously.

10/24/2007 9:34:30 AM

bttt for dumbfucks that don't understand that a four way flashing RED traffic signal is the same as a four way stop. The light at Gorman and Hillsborough started flashing and people on Hillsborough just kept driving straight through the flashing red light.

10/24/2007 10:34:18 AM

the retards here in atlanta dont know the difference between the flashing yellow and red and when there are no lights at all

people will stop on the flashing yellow and think that it is supposed to be a 4-way stop, its not you fucking idiots

10/24/2007 10:36:53 AM

no, im trying to conserve electricity.

10/24/2007 10:37:33 AM

same thing happened at another light on Gorman a couple months ago. The light went out completely and people were just hauling ass through it without even slowing down.

10/24/2007 10:39:08 AM

wait a minute now, are some of you proposing that a shitload of people are idiots!?!

10/24/2007 11:27:27 AM

90% of the rest of the world uses this as a curtious way to ask someone to move over if the person in front is being a slow left lane driver.

For some reason this is considered rude in the US although is much safer than riding someone's ass. I can not stand self-rightous assholes who purposely drive 70 in the 65 b.c they feel that no one else should be going faster b.c it's breaking the law

10/24/2007 11:49:16 AM

Luckily, TN has decent drivers. Sure a lot of them run red lights at the last minute but you get used to waiting a few seconds before going through your green light. Most use signals and turn on their headlights.

I encounter lots of slow assholes but they always get over when they get a chance so it's all good.

10/24/2007 11:52:11 AM

i counted at least 8-10 cars riding w/out their lights on

10/26/2007 10:02:55 AM

I usually don't flash my lights at people, but I did this morning. Sadly, it had no effect.

10/26/2007 10:03:45 AM

i counted about 14 cars on my lunch break

fucking idiots
