I like doing it when there are other people around so I can whiz by them. I don't care about their well-being and I certainly don't care about the well-being of their children. And if I'm the first person at a stoplight I'm happy, because it means I get to dump the clutch, shoot ahead, and envision the angered face of the slow person behind me as they shake their fist from behind the wheel of their anemic hybrid. It's like you're in my head. Same, I <3 DE and his thoughts on driving. -----signature----- If you're flammable and have legs, you're never blocking a fire exit.

	my favorite is driving right at the speed limit on a one lane road with no passing and watching the angry hornets accumulate behind me.

My favorite is when this happens around here, because then the cops pull you over if you don't use turnouts. 5 vehicle delay is illegal whether or not you're doing the speed limit -----signature----- Max Fox (AC), Zygran (WoW, SWTOR) "We poison our air and water to weed out the weak!

	You do know that some states have a little known law that states if you interfere with the normal flow of traffic that you can get a ticket for it? -----signature----- 09-11-2001 A Day that will be remembered A wise old owl lived in an oak The more he heard, the less he spoke The less he spoke, the more he heard Why can't we be like that wize old bird

And I'm with the flow of traffic the whole time. Is hwy 80 how you get to eureka? If so, yeah. That highway is clearly an impossibility. After driving straight from LA - that stretch was memorably frustrating - amazing redwoods though, lol No, Lol. Hwy 80 is east/west. Along the coast its just 101 to Eureka. -----signature----- "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so." -Douglas Adams

	The engineering way, (sadly practiced in Europe more than here) is to set the speed limit at the 85th percentile of what the drivers naturally drive at. (this is speed where 85% of the drivers drive at or below think of a line of dots, each dot a driver, and they are placed on the line at their clocked speed, then draw a perpendicular line with 85% of the drivers (dots) on the left of the line and that point (line) points to the exact speed (in practice they round to the nearest 5))) Unfortunately that is not the case in many parts of the USA for the reasons I mentioned already, that being pandering politicians coupled with the revenue enhancement their respective districts enjoy as a result of foisting this vicious oppression upon us the motorists. (place obligatory comment on police state here) I turn 55 this year and I am thinking that I should schedule my cross country tour on my m/c during this event, only I ain't gonna be doin' 55. If you drive below the 100mph on a modern highway in Greece you drive with your car half on the shoulder (when paved) with the expectation that you will be passed on a curve on a two lane highway, by a semi, while a semi is passing a car coming your direction as the same time, no kidding for real, happened to me. We are an oppressed people, and like the Soviet Union of old have had to become afraid of our own Govt. But please don't mess with my motorcycling. If you can't ride with the big dogs stay off the road and take public transit. -----signature----- The Hyperimiator song http://www.wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=1639&starttime=1:40:35 "ou are never going to be able to vote for the revolution.

	pkhere posted: I rarely speed. I go the limit most of the time. I don't care what speed other people drive though as long as they aren't creating a hazard and are keeping to the appropriate lane. -----signature----- College women are as unstable as free radicals.

	WhipSmack posted: What's even better is when you cut someone off in heavy traffic and just make the yellow light, but the person I cut off hits the red light you dont speed but you run yellow lights?
