Zigzagging: Most Dangerous Driving

No, it's because most truck drivers really are myopic cunts with half
a brain.

 

Enlighten you? You're the one who is unwilling to entertain the notion
that Congress may be influenced by any means other than bribery. So by
your reasoning, either somebody paid Congress off to pass CAFE or CAFE
wasn't passed. CAFE was passed, so by your logic somebody must have
paid Congress to do it. So who was it?

 

Also, in many places in Europe, there's only 2 lanes. In or out, and watch
for the Mercs whistling up behind you at 240kph...

 

Oh, I'm sure that whoever made the law made the loop, and the SUVs get
off the CAFE hook through that same loop. "CAFE only applies to cars,
so SUVs, which are trucks, are exempt." Are you naive enough for that?
Santa is coming to town...

"SUVs are classified as light trucks for the purpose of emissions
requirements, CAFE standards and safety standards. These standards in
all areas are less stringent than for vehicles classified as passenger
cars."

You mean there's no place for the slow in Europe? In civilized places
there's place for the fast and the slow. Just use different lanes.

 

Now why do you think that trucks were exempt?

And your point is?

 

SUVs weren't popular at all except among sportsmen and others needing
the capabilities of a light truck until well after CAFE was implemented.
I think it was more an unintended consequences kind of thing - once
the full-sized sedan was no longer available, and the Joneses needed
something to tow their boat trailer, well their options were a pickup
truck or an SUV and the SUV had a back seat so...

And at the same time SUVs got away with no safety features, European
imports were kept out of the market because they didn't have those
safety features. You can't even bring a Renault, say, into America.
COINCIDENCE? To me, that's what anyone trying to keep a MONOPOLY would
do. Then you go out and pay the lawyers... See-what-I-mean?

 

Because they were good for GM, and what is good for GM... (it's good
for the country, so the saying goes)

TRUCKS, LIES AND VIDEO TAPES.

 

I have the same perspective, but the small percentage of drivers
attractive enough to ride at aren't worth the safety afforded by the
metal around me.

 

I think someone else said it earlier......it's not all about safety!

 

If you think the US auto manufacturers _wanted_ the safety regs to be
enacted, you weren't _there_. They fought against them with every
resource at their disposal and had them crammed down their throats
whether they wanted them or not.

In any case, CAFE came ten years after the safety laws, and the Japanese
and Germans and Swedes never had a bit of trouble meeting the safety
standards. It was the French and British and Italians that couldn't or
wouldn't comply with them.

 

Try again. Hint--18-wheelers are "trucks" too.

Please provide a list of these lies and the associated videotapes.

Why am I bothering? You're clearly yet another netloon who has not a
clue what he's on about.

 

Oh, I understand that. It's just that when the potential returns are
so slim, it's not worth the greater risk.

Of course, if your standards are lower, your mileage will be greatly
increased.

 

Ha! I laugh in the face of risk.......

You have no idea how low! I'd tag a woman that looked like me!! (but I'd
understand if she had smaller tits....)

 

I've done that before. Sometimes it's laughed back, pretty hard.

lmao!

My main two criteria are (1) She can't outweigh me & (2) She can't
outrun me. Option #2 is very important because some of those
quick-runnin' gals can get rather clingy. :-/

I'll modify my statement to "I snicker behind the back of risk".

Option 1. should be simple enough for me (who ate all the pies!?). But
Option 2 wouldn't work. Risk laughed back at me and gave me a dodgey
leg. The orthopedic boot (real sexy!) and the fast limp means I can only
go for the s l o w ones. I'd be hopeless as a rapist....the cops would
find me asleep within a 2 minute walking radius.

 

You really love "Big Brother," don't you? At the same he kept out the
efficient European imports (not the ones for the elites anyway) on the
basis of, say, not having a safety beam on the doors, he turned a
blind eye to SUVs which were in obvious violation of any safety
standard (for example, the bumpers).

So that's how the obsolete and stupid came to dominate the small and
smart on these Darwinistic roads...
