Default Driving habits



There's a rotary in my city with so many tree's and shrubbery that it's actually a blind rotary, you get the buttholes who act like they are going to yield but they just keep driving through. I was scraped 3 times in my IROC-Z and that's when I began avoiding it all together. </P>


It's the most treacherous rotary/intersection I have ever traveled on, and I've been to many states and on plenty of highways... ugh it sucks!</P>

The best place to drive is Germany. Once you get used to it. They will put a car in where you swear there isnt room for it. The drive offensively, and its cool once you know how because they will help you avoid an accident. now when some dumbass from lets say France comes by and wipes out in the fog, everyeone piles up in a huge mess. </P>


The states are bad, idiots everywhere. I have been almost killed, cut off while pulling a loaded trailer (the absolute worst because you aint gonna stop), snow ice rain just plain brain donors driving along in herds, South Carolina drivers are really bad. Dude there are so many cars wrecked down here I dont even go out between 3 and 6 pm. no reason to, I wont get anywhere untill about 7 pm anyway. It "snowed"back in 99 here. Theyshut everything down and it didnt even dust the streets, it only made them wet. I wonder what they would do if presented with snow like Nebraksa Michigan or the Dakotas get every winter.</P>


Most messed up crap I have seen on a road. Kuwait. They drive any direction, will pull off right infront of ya and head into the desert, they take off racing infront of ya then turn around and come back at you, there are traffic circles and GI's avoid them as much as possible, speeds vary from lumbering along at 10-12 mph, to well over 140 mph. The roads arent to bad, they are only a few years old, but nobody follow even guidelines for driving. its every man for himself.</P>


</P>


Stupidity kills.....Inattentiveness is just as bad.</P>

that sounds like every major city in this country, slow people drive in the fast lane, some ppl dop 10 under the limit, others 20 over, traffic officers inconsistent... sometimes dont pull ppl over unless the do 20 over and other times they do "speed enforcemement" and give tickets for 10 over.</P>

Now if you are not familiar with the NYC area, let me tell you it is not pleasant. Not only do you have trucks, construction, traffic, rice cars and not to mention cyclist, moped delivery guys, buses oh yeah, lets not forget the pedestrians who think they are invincable. You have potholes, and the police who will pull you over driving a car like a Mustang because they think you are a "Speed Exibitionist".

The ricer cars are one of the worst as they are zippin in and out of traffic then the SUV people who are always on your ***. Man let me tell you, NYC is one hell of a place. Emphasis on "HELL"
</P>


hahaha i feel ur pain...i work in manhattan and drive my stang to work everyday what a f'n ride...u forgot the mention the yellow cabs in the city..</P>

I have a buddy with a Jeep Cherokee and hes got a nice alarm system with flashing lights and all. So I guess this is kind of a bad habit.

Sometimes when we're driving behind some ***, well flip on the alarm, and flashing lights and pull them over.It is quite a sight when their pulled over and we drive around them. I guess we're just two punks. One time a guy threw his coffee at us when we left.
