Zigzagging: Most Dangerous Driving

As they say, 4WD lets you get further before you get stuck.

 

The solution is simple: Don't front gate.

 

Based on the content of the post, I'm thinking the original poster is
referring to a "liquorcycle" and not a motorcycle.

 

How often does that happen?

Keep thinking that, while they're scraping you off the road with a
spoon. lmao.

 

All the time when you ride a motorcycle........

Don't think you can't end up as spagetti & meatballs inside your
crumpled cage, where 'the jaws of life' will only be used to retrieve
the dead..........

 

Police motorcycles tend to be about as wide as old VW rabbits, and
about as nimble as as Suburbans. Even with Johnny wishiwereacop Hero
throwing open his door or pulling into the breakdown lane to block
you, it's very rare a police bike will catch anyone who knows how to
ride and wants to get away. If the guy running is on a decent
performance bike and knows how to ride, it's not even going to be a
chase.

 

Maybe you should be telling this to all those cunts who drive artics
for miles in the middle lane.

 

^^^^ ^^^^^^^

Oxymoron alert

 

Conor, for example?

 

Write a legal definition of "truck" so that it can be determined who has
to have such a license (can't be "everybody knows what a truck is", it
has to be one that a lawyer can't argue away in court) and figure out
what training should be required and come up with a convincing argument
why that particular training would improve safety then suggest it to
your Congresscritter and you may be surprised at what happens. SUVs are
basically a way of working around the CAFE tax and if that could be
closed wihout seeming to be an SUV ban until after it was in place the
Congresscritters might be all over it.

As for banning cell phones, that's not going to happen. That genii is
well and truly out of the bottle and any Congress than successfully
enacted legislation prohibiting their sale and possession would be out
of office at the next election.

As for bans on using them while driving, such bans are essentially
unenforceable--yeah, a cop can bust somebody if he catches them in the
act, but cops can't be everywhere all the time and most people who use
them while driving don't use them all the time, so the likelihood of
actually getting caught is too low to serve as a deterrent.

Personally though I've never noticed SUVs "zigzagging around all over
the place playing a game of Russian Roulette". The big problem I have
with them is that SUV drivers seem to be unwilling to just PASS THE
EFFING TRUCK. They'll pull up behind an 18-wheeler, take ten minutes to
slowly creep by it, and having passed it then take off at 90 mph. And
meanwhile I'm sitting there in the buffet zone waiting for this circus
to end so I can get by the blasted thing.

 

Until the _other_ cop in the cruiser ten cars up in the line doors him.

 

Right up to the next cloverleaf, where Jim-Bob the keen Deputy is
waiting to ram the biker off - and miss, killing other car drivers in
the process ... and blaming the biker for dodging.

That's how it works in the States, right?

 

Moron not using a fixed pitch, is it?

Try this:
^1^ ^2 ^3^ ^4^

1. Illiterate moron alert

2. Kiddie moron alert

3. Non-riding moron alert.

4. Gurlie moron alert.

 

You forgot the crashing helos.

 

Google groups moron, if you must.

 

I'm sure it happens like that sometimes, but it's certainly not the
norm from what I've seen. I'm not saying the bikes are in the right,
or that I do it, but I've spent a bit of time in traffic and seen
quite a few bikes take off on Johnny Law in this circumstance. I've
never seen one caught, and I've never seen one get doored (though I
have seen people try),

I've also seen police motorcycles totally unable to get out of
gridlock traffic, using lights and sirens and still taking forever to
get to the break down lane. In that time the guy on the bike, on the
very edge of the break down lane, out of reach of doors from lane 1,
has taken off never to be seen again.

The best is the dual sport guys who just get into the grass plenty far
from traffic and cruise along. Makes me want a dual-sport every time.

 

If that's where he's riding then he's not lane splitting.

But I have seen a couple of 18 wheelers pull off staggered onto the
breakdown lane specifically to block such antics. And yeah, I know for
sure that that's what they were doing--they discussed it on the CB first
to decide which two in a long line of them were going to do it.

Don't pull that on this guy

Then there's the bear in the air.

Running from the one cop in a one-cop town you might get away with.
Don't try it against a major metropolitan police department.

 

Trucks are usually as good/bad as their drivers, so yes, there's a
quite a bit of stupid trucks out there.

 

The one that says, "Four legs good, two legs baaaaad"...

We --me plus my dog and cat-- have been studying the lessons in Animal
Farm, and have come up with another type of revolution where the
little animals are not betrayed. The pigs are not necessary at all
(and my pets will be in the Central Committee)...

"Circus dogs jump when the trainer cracks his whip, but the really
well-trained dog is the one that turns his somersault when there is no
whip" -George Orwell

I guess that could be applied to many who do the tricks even though
the master has stopped the punishment. The trait of a good lapdog.

Anyway, let's go into Orwell's thoughts on the jungle...

(Moral: The Big Fish eats the Little Fish. Well, unless the Little
Fish get organized...)

Forget about Marx, Lenin, Che or Mao. The next Revolution will be led
by the sardines with no complicated theories and without any need for
big fishes who betray the revolution.


"If there was hope, it must lie in the SARDINES, because only there,
in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five per cent of the
population... could the force to destroy the SHARK ever be
generated. ...the SARDINES, if only they could somehow become
conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They
needed only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off
flies. If they chose they could blow the SHARK to pieces tomorrow
morning." -George Orwell, "1984"

Well, it's not literally what Orwell said (put the words PROLES and
PARTY in it), but you get the point: THE SARDINES SURE CAN CHALLENGE
THE SHARK!

"The hope lies in the proles," he said.

 

Listen, I've stayed away from the booze for a long while. And I'm not
even anonymous about it. I just grew bore with it. But at this rate of
danger, I may have to join Scooter and Bicycle Anonymous. Too
dangerous to your health!
