Has anyone developed a successful strategy for dealing with those who drive for miles with their turn signals flashing (other than just ignoring them)?

So, how many people out there practice left foot braking on the street? -- igor@af ------------------------------------------------------------------------ igor@af's Profile: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/member.php?userid=61 View this thread:...

I'm proceeding north on a major thoroughfare (Sepulveda Blvd in North Hills, CA) approaching a signalized intersection with another major thoroughfare (Roscoe Blvd). There are 3 through lanes in each direction in addition to dual left-turn lanes. The traffic lights are green for north/south...

I went to get my license renewed and I failed the eye exam. What I would like to know is, who is the stupid SOB that decides how small and far away the letters need to be. I can spot a mail box or road kill in the road over a mile in front of me. I cant read the address on the box or count how...

Ever notice how many people seem to almost miss their exit, and then cut across several lanes of traffic at the last moment to catch it? The numbers seem to be on the increase. A day doesn't go by when I don't see at least a few people pull a maneuver like this. On city streets, the result is...

I was crossing a street from East to West and I got hit by another car coming from North, down to South. I was not able to view the car as the car was not in sight of my window and it changed the lane from left to right and took a right turn hitting my front of the car. The drivers first of all...

Tonight I was broadsided by a young girl who ran a stop sign at a high rate of speed and she broadsided my car. My whole left side is totaled, no ambulance called. Cops came but we only exchanged insurance info. But im afraid mine is not current any more. The cops didnt site her. I have a...

What the hell kind of bull**** is this? When someone is tested and deemed worthy of being issued a driver's license, it should come with full privileges and responsibilities. Otherwise, don't issue the goddam thing. Besides, the only way that new drivers are going to accumulate driving experience...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Speeding_Car-140mph.jpg It's doing 140mph but only 4000rpm. When I'm at that speed, my car is at 6000rpm. But then again, my redline is 7000 and this car's redline is only 5000.

So I was driving on a mostly flat & straight rural 2-lane expressway with moderate traffic moving at reasonable & proper speeds. The right lane was going a little slower than I like, the left lane a little faster. I move left to pass & speed up a bit to avoid stacking up faster traffic, then...

Let's hear it. I'm willing to bet there's a ****load of hypocrites here. I for one am not for price controls, higher CAFE standards, taxing more for larger vehicles. I want the government out of it as much as possible. But I for one, have done my part. About 3 weeks ago I abandoned driving the...

This happened yesterday and was such a stunning example of MFFY-ness (and a near-accident) that I wrote to the local police about it. Here's what I emailed to them (with some notes for clarity in brackets), and then after that is the police's response. The officer states facts, but sadly it...

This article points out that consumers may be short changed by fuel pumps that do not compensate for fuel sold above 60 degrees, which is a historical standard. Gasoline volume expands with higher temperature (density goes down), but your engine gets its energy from mass, not volume. In other...
