My old man (3rd generation born and bred Coloradoan) used to tell a joke that went something along the lines of "How do you spot the native Colorado driver? They're the 5th person through the red light.".
This. And self-driving cars.
Thus dashcams.
you have survived the impossibleI almost died in a SUV driven by my brothers girlfriend, a female Asian, when my brother made a joke about female Asian drivers.
Hahahaha... Euros do it too? WTF. All hope is lost.Just drive here in Switzerland on the A1 between Zurich and Bern for one time during rush hour.
It's basically a minefield. Multiple rear end collisions every fvcking day.
Last week I was the third car behind a 5 vehicle collision. I have no idea how the moto guy in the middle survived that.
And then these people tell you "how crazy Germans and Italians" drive.
Just because you have a tempo limit of 120km/h (75mph) doen't mean that you can drive with about half a meter distance between cars and don't have to look before changing lanes...
so if i go to italy i should just drive like i am from colorado?Just because you have a tempo limit of 120km/h (75mph) doen't mean that you can drive with about half a meter distance between cars and don't have to look before changing lanes...
Just drive a little aggressive and yell at others.
Heh. I parked like that once in Mantua...Just drive a little aggressive and yell at others.
Small cars are an advantage:
I remember a few years ago, it snowed a couple of feet in Aurora over the course of the day. Dropped off the ex and her mom at work in the morning, go home and then made a U-turn to go pick them back up. I spent something like 5 hours that day driving around. 225 was just a parking lot of abandoned cars up near the reservoir.
Ha... that was 2006. We got like 3 storms in a row - each one would come on a Thursday night - which was the night before our regular garbage/recycling pick-up. They kept cancelling the recycling pick-up until the next one which resulted in something like 6 weeks worth of recycling backed up... at Xmas no less. We had nearly the entire porch full of carboard. And yeah... we had giant ice-potholes on our streets for MONTHS that year. They eventually came through with a road-grader and front-end loader to clear the ice. Good times...I remember a few years ago, it snowed a couple of feet in Aurora over the course of the day.

And all I was driving was this shitty old Kia Sportage. Only blew through one stop sign.
The worst part though, was that the storm hit in between Christmas and New Years..........but the city didn't plow our street until the end February.
That was 2006??? Wow, its been more than a few years then.Ha... that was 2006.

I'm sure they've never seen a steam engine, either.Sitting in the Middle School office... kids these days don't know how to use a regular push-button phone... AND they have no idea what long-distance is.
Kids these days.
Or in the case of JBP... dinosaurs.I'm sure they've never seen a steam engine, either.
Similarly, I encountered a driver yesterday who had no concept of pulling over and stopping for an emergency vehicle. I cut them off smartly after the state police cruiser had passed.
Yah... apparently this fucktard behavior has been the norm for awhile?
The worst fucktard behavior is when you pull over for an emergency vehicle to pass and some douche behind you uses it as an opportunity to pass others by jumping out directly behind the emergency vehicle.
These peoples are usually the ones the GPS mounted smack dab in the middle of the windshield.
In most states it's illegal to be within 500ft of the rear of an active emergency vehicle.The worst fucktard behavior is when you pull over for an emergency vehicle to pass and some douche behind you uses it as an opportunity to pass others by jumping out directly behind the emergency vehicle.
My friend Amy was involved in a accident with a Fire Truck. She was cited for Failure to Yield. Her Insurance refused to pay the Cities claim. The city sued her for the damage to the fire truck. Fire trucks are very expensive.
Cities are even more expensive.
