inkman Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 People need to stop bowing out when they turn. You aren't driving a semi. Stay tight to the yellow line and freaking turn. People need instructions on how to wait in a line. Don't stand 10-15 feet behind the person in front of you aimlessly looking around leading others to question whether or not you are in said line. Stand 3-4 feet behind the person in front of you and at least pretend like you are staring at the menu/cashier. For all you en-why-cee types, it's waiting in line. Not on-line. On line is where you watch porn and buy concert tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Just give a damn thank you wave, even if you don't mean it, I paid attention, let you cut me off, even if you don't mean it, just flip your damn hand up for 0.3 seconds and all will be good. Why do you go to church like you're going out clubbing, if it's leftover from the night before, I get it.... But actively doing so... Cmon Lastly I was at breakfast and I was going over a medical case with a colleague, we weren't loud by any means, the women at the table next, very rudely asked us to stop talking, as they were "trying to eat".... Typically I would be nice and say sorry, however I requested what was so bad that made them not want to eat??!! She replies, I was listening in on your conversation and it was making my stomach turn..... I'll leave that there for now!!!

Merge with speed people, do not stop dead on the thruway to let people merge in. Texting and driving, WTF stop it. You are holding up traffic, and endangering everyone around you.

Norcal Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Drivers, i could go on all day but rubbernecking the car pulled over by a cop and not knowing how to merge and drive at the same time are such BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 About 15 years ago they changed my exit off of 490 to have its own lane. So no need to merge or wait for traffic, just keep on driving in the lane as you exit. For whatever reason about 1 in 20 cars stops to merge into traffic that they aren't merging with. It shuts down the whole exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 High beams. Far too many people use them, blinding oncoming traffic for no good reason, and apparently unaware they even have their high beams on. That should be a ticketable offense (and by ticketable, I mean in the most severe version of police brutality ticketable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a couple vehicles with LED headlights and I'd constantly get flashed as if I had my high beams on. Not sure if that is what you are experiencing but I can attest its annoying for all invloved. Edited July 18, 2016 by inkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be a ticketable offense (and by ticketable, I mean in the most severe version of police brutality ticketable). In nY you can get ticketed for leaving your high beams on. There is a distance where you are required by law to drop your high beams. I'm not sure what the distance is. I turn my high beams off as soon as I see headlights coming.

Not sure if that is what you are experiencing but I can attest its annoying for all invloved. I've got scarring on my right eye lens. Bright headlights are dazzling to me. I get halos and starburst patterns really bad from them, so I'm a bit quick to flash my brights when it happens. The LED lights in particular are bad for me.

Another pet peeve on the opposite end of the headlight spectrum is morons who continue to drive in the rain without using their headlights. We know you think you can see but it's not about your perfect vision...it's about the other vehicles on the road being able to see you. It's also a state law here in Virginia that you have to have them on when using your windshield wipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that is what you are experiencing but I can attest its annoying for all invloved. If you're getting flashed, chances are they're aimed too high. It isn't that they're too bright, it's that they're aimed up into people's eyes. In nY you can get ticketed for leaving your high beams on. There is a distance where you are required by law to drop your high beams. I'm not sure what the distance is. I turn my high beams off as soon as I see headlights coming. The larger rant is that people aren't taught this stuff when they get their licenses anymore. Here in Texas, the two most popular ways to do drivers ed is "parent taught" which in many cases is a joke, or going to a professional driving school which covers the basics and nothing more. [Old Guy's Rant: Back in my day, we spent half the summer in drivers ed at the local high school, and the instructors (which were often our HS teachers making some summer income) told us not just what we needed to pass, but what we needed to be good drivers, including the more subtle unwritten rules, like what high beams are for.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be a ticketable offense (and by ticketable, I mean in the most severe version of police brutality ticketable). The problem isn't using them...it's not turning them off when you see oncoming traffic. Some of my commute is on dark country roads with deer seemingly everywhere--I consider high beam use borderline essential. I'm even close to upgrading my headlights to some HIDs...sorry, may your eyes forgive me :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have to just not notice they're on in that situation, right? I mean, as long as lighting is fine, they do basically zilch. I choose to believe people are oblivious rather than asshats.

ubkev Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Does NY still require the 5 hour? You know that waste of a day at the local YMCA or some such place. You take the class and test after you've had your learner permit and before you can schedule your road test. Oh, and road tests! In my day, we took them on the road! City streets, live, actual driving conditions. In the 3 city's that I've lived in in Pennsylvania, they do them on a "closed course" aka dmv parking lot. How is that helpful at all at determining how a person will react while driving in traffic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
