Things that drivers shouldn't do:
1. Slow cars in the fast lane - please move right and let people pass.
2. Turns and lane changes without signals - they don't cost anything to use.
3. People running red lights and stop signs when I'm on my bike directly in their path. Selfish!

I have gotten tickets for having expired plates, no insurance, driving on an suspended license, speeding, and not signaling a lane change.

Yes, I'm one of "those" people... I sing and dance in the car.

People tell me I take corners too fast. I guess that's about it, though.

1 Chevy truck I can't keep running
5 Ford cars
2 Dodge sports cars

2 do you buy new or used? Are you nutz?? After what I've seen people do first hand to their cars?? There is NO WAY you will EVER get me to buy a used car unless I know that car's entire life history!!

12 what do you think of hybrids? What a freakin' JOKE!! They're gutless, don't get any better mileage than they're gas counterparts and use the same amount of fuel, but it's "OK" because they're "green". Either shit or get off the pot!! There is one all-electric car that does 0-60 in under 4 seconds, has a range of 250 miles. Why can't Ford and GM do that?? Tesla Motors
