Re: The Longest Thread Ever v28
Two hands on the wheel just feels awkward for me.
And yeah I hate when people dont have any driving ethics and dont obey the law. Yesterday I got really pissed. I was turning right after a red light and this guy in a mercedes was turining left, and of course he freakin cut me off. The worst thing was the drivers (and co-passengers) face after I hit the horn, they look so puzzled, like why the fuck did you hit the horn, we were faster?

Re: The Longest Thread Ever v28
Whenever I have two hands on the wheel it feels like I should be driving much faster than I am, like I should be racing.
Speaking of driving fast, we've got these retarded "Over the speed limit, out of control" billboards popping up all around Manitoba recently that depict a vehicle rolling in a very strange manner. The problem I have with this is that I am absolutely certain I can control my vehicle better at high speeds than most other drivers can at lower speeds; I do not like having my driving skills prejudged by a billboard. Same here. |

Re: The Longest Thread Ever v28
My brother often tells me "You're a legend in your own mind". When ever I go into a rant about how I am the only good driver on the road. Which maybe he is right. Because I unequivocally feel as if I am the best driver on the planet. In my ten years of 'licensed' driving, I have literally encountered maybe 2 or 3 individuals I felt are worthy of being licensed to operate a vehicle. I am not above forcing someone to pull over and give me the keys to the car, physically if need be, so that I can drive. I don't play around with my life, and some asshole who drives recklessly.
I am all for the making of a more rigorous and stringent driving test, and licensing procedure. IMO 80% of the people operating a vehicle are unqualified for it, and thats me being generous. |

Re: The Longest Thread Ever v28
I believe it is Finland that has a ridiculously rigorous licensing system. They spend almost as much time on a skid pad learning how to control a vehicle that's out of control than most other nations spend teaching people to drive entirely.
As far as my friends driving recklessly, none of them drive poor enough that I feel as though my life is in danger. As long as I don't feel threatened, I don't really care what their stupidity may cause in damage to their own vehicle. |

Re: The Longest Thread Ever v28
My friend Danny is a horrendous driver, but he's only gotten two tickets so far: going 80 mph on a shoulder and going 75 (really, it was 95) in a 65. I pray to all the gods whenever he's driving me.
I, on the other hand, am a great driver by Asian standards. Ya know, on the sidewalk, through crowded parks, and often flipping my car through intersections.

Re: The Longest Thread Ever v28
That stereotype is lived out to it's fullest in Vancouver, BC. It's a major immigration centre from Asia, and almost every single Asian who comes there goes to the small towns around the city to get their license, then proceed to have no idea how to drive in a city.

I know not everyone is in the same kind of situation, but I am lucky enough to live near several race tracks that are often opened to the public on the off days. So as far as people around my parts are concerned, there is no excuse to drive like they're playing need for speed, since for 25 bucks you can go and do it in a controlled setting. |

Re: The Longest Thread Ever v28
Well, that's better than Toronto. Here, all the driving instructors are immigrants, too. It's a self perpetuating shit storm.

Re: The Longest Thread Ever v28
Reminds me of the time an Asian guy tried to order Subway from some Middle Eastern woman, neither of whom really understood the mutual language in which they were trying to communicate.
@Axiom: I've always thought a track like that would make a killing around here, but we've only got a single (public) insurance company, so they control whether or not people could even choose to race their cars like that. Fucking monopolies. Last edited by Mal; 05-27-2011 at 04:58 PM. |

Re: The Longest Thread Ever v28
While driving, I often curse the gods for not giving me Magneto's mutant powers. I would totally crush a car that doesn't have it's lights on in shit weather into a cube and toss it off the road without thinking twice.
What pisses me off more than anything is when I'm chilling there waiting to turn because a dude is coming, and he turns down the road I'm on without using his turn signal. Like, he sees me there waiting with my turn signal on, and if he let's me know he's turning I could just go instead of waiting for him to pass, and he still doesn't have enough goddamn courtesy to move his hand half a centimeter to flip the turn signal on. I've thrown drinks or handfuls of loose change from my cup holder at people for that. I could spend an hour making a delicious dinner or some shit and some dude could walk up to me and slam a handful of warm dog diarrhea on my plate and I would probably just laugh my balls off. But be slightly discourteous to me while driving and I'd have no problem ripping your throat out with my bare hands like goddamn Rambo did to that one asian dude in the newest rambo movie, no problem. Crazy shit. Edit: Today was delivery day for me at work. The store I work at is one of those outside mall things. Some asian guy somehow got his car perfectly stuck in the middle of the little road thing so that his car was perpendicular to the road (I dunno how to accurately describe it = /), I guess he was trying to turn around or some shit, and he had to keep backing up and going forward a few inches at a time to get out of that situation. I was just sitting there waiting, almost in tears from laughing at him. Took him a good ten minutes. He kept looking at me and bowing and shit, like he was so sowwy or something. Shit like that is just adorable. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets pissed as fuck while driving. Thought I had some sort of problem there for a bit. Also, I'm absolutely terrified when I'm in the passenger seat of a car the good majority of the time, especially with moo-cow sister. It's like she has no clue cars can coast. Gas or break, nothing else, ever. |

Re: The Longest Thread Ever v28
I just realized that Magneto's powers would be amazing for driving. Not only could you manipulate other vehicles out of your way, you could theoretically manipulate electrical currents and change traffic lights.

Re: The Longest Thread Ever v28
Theoretically, if you were Magneto... you could just fucking fly everywhere and not waste your time with cars.

I have been driven by LN.
We went through the 'hood. He told me not to look anyone in the eye. It was an educational experience. |
