Did I Miss the Memo?

[Monkey Wrench]

What the hell, did I miss the memo today? Was today officially announced as "Don't Flippin' Worry About Using That Turn Signal Day"?

Goodness! I nearly rear-ended or t-boned at least four or five cars today because they just suddenly made a turn without realizing that stupid stick coming off the left side of the steering column make the blinker come on!

Man, the horn on the Tahoe got a workout today!

Monkey just wait till you come to Lexington, everyone's IQ drops about 40 points once they sit in the car.

Hmm.. I don't know about Ohio, but that was last Tuesday in New York. I narrowly missed a couple people making left-handed U-turns from the right lane on my way to work. Nothing worse than traffic pissing you off before you even get to the office.

Bro, I almost got tagged pullin out of the driveway. Old lady across the road likes to take her approach to her driveway nascar style. Swing wide for max velocity.

That, and about 12 near-misses between the bank and Walmart. All this in a 2 mile area.

Here in Florida we have driving knuckles and hats. All you can see from behind them is there knuckles on the top of the steering wheel. Or a stupid hat that went out of style thirty years ago. They drive 25 in a 55 in the left lane with the right turn signal on forever. They have one foot half on the brake, and half on the gas, and the other foot in the grave. I just want to drive my truck over them!

That's what they say to me!

Didn't you know? Turn signals are an option that you have to ask for when buying any car. They must be pretty damned expensive cause no one has them. lol

yeh happened to me today too. funny thing is is that is was one of those imports that sounds like a bumble bee that are supposed to be "fast" yet my semi stock 78 f-150 smoked him off the line and in about a half mile run........

and i am with Karl M on this 1, i feel like it is an expensive option on the new vehicals.

I've gotten in 2 accidents in the past month, and I haven't been the driver in either one. Maybe the entire month is just bad driving month :shrug:

Just come on out to Reno Nv, acually the state of Nv. It's the wild wild west, just in automobiles. HELLO!!! No one uses that flicker on the left side of the steering wheel. As they see it, it's just something to click up and down really fast while driving cross state picken steak out of there teeth with a tooth pick. Plus no one knows how to use mirrors either, most people drive straight ahead like a horse with blinders on.

Happened to me today as well.
A mustang convertible made a turn in front of me coming from the opposite direction without signaling. Pulled up next to her at the stoplight and pleasantly asked her to use it more often, I almost hit her. She got all pissed and called me an butthead.

Hmmm... She turns in front of me at a 4 way without signaling I might add that it didn't mater anyway because I had the right of way in the first place..... and I'm the ass.....

 

[HeartBreak]

Thats what ya get for driving the Pinto today, Eddy.

I always use my signals, but sometimes I feel like the only one. I drive a tractor trailer and when I'm in the truck I noticed that when I put on my signal on for a lane change, people seem to think it means LET's RACE and no matter how far behind me they are, they have to speed up to pass me before I get over. I personally think the new motto of the road is. Hurry up and wait.

There are no fast 4 cylinders around here. All the kids just make it look "cool" and sound "fast." Personally, I think it's a joke. I looked at the spedometer of one of them that was parked and it had the typical 4 inch exhaust, 3 tone paintjob, huge spoiler, body kit. The spedometer read 280,000 miles. I asked the kid about it, and he said it's the stock engine, but quote, "It still has a lot left in it." I can't wait for the piston to go through the hood.

I call those cars 5 speed chainsaws.

Mud, I'm with ya, man! I know my 5.7L is loud (dual exhaust with Cherry Bombs) and basically free-bases gasoline, but I just love the way that thing feels and sounds! Just music to my hears!

Ever notice that a majority of bad drivers are either gummers or women?

 

[Monkey Wrench]

Women + cell phones + big SUV = accident!
