Comforting to know AI has the same mentality as most of the idiots moving about these days.
I can only assume that was some sort of exercise equipment that mocked him from the corner of his kitchen?
I drove Flagstaff to Kingman on I-40 in 2006. Did not get west of Kingman, though. Had lunch in Kingman and then drove the classic Rt. 66 from Kingman to Seligman, I actually saw the "Barber of Seligman" that waves to everyone as they pass by, before heading north to the GCNP. All part of my "Get your Kicks on Rt. 66" driving tour of Az in July, 2006.
Precisely. I've driven the Autobahn in Germany. I was doing 110mph (Mph not Kph) on the Autobahn. People were passing me. Speed is definitely not the problem. It's distracted driving, and what I like to call, "Impedaphobia..." the fear of being "stuck in the pack" of traffic and not "out in front," leading the pack. People will do stupid and dangerous things to get out in front and not let people pass them, etc. etc.
Also, when driving the Autobahn, remember that diesel trucks drive the same speed no matter where they are in the world (50-60 mph). You have to be careful when rounding corners at top Autobahn speeds because you might come upon a truck and have to dart over into the passing lane real quick to get around it.
You don't get out much do you ?Also, when driving the Autobahn, remember that diesel trucks drive the same speed no matter where they are in the world (50-60 mph).
I've been doing 75-80 mph plenty of times and been passed by fully loaded semi's doing 90+++ mph.
It's not that unusual to see them running that speed on icy roads around here.
During a heavy thunderstorm with 80mph winds and torrential rains, do they slow...oh hell no.
I did the Autobahn back in the 80's, so maybe things have changed. Schedules are tighter Deliveries have to be faster, and speeds have to rise... at least, "unofficially." And remember, over there, they take driving seriously because they know the consequences of accidents. The only thing you can do is speed on the Autobahn. But if you do anything else like "weave in/out of traffic," etc. the cops will nail you and you'll lose your driving privileges for a long time. God help you if you cause an accident, especially with injuries/fatalities.
That doorman shoulda joined the military so he could march instead of diddy-bop like he’s still back on the block
Not sure where you’re seeing that. In the last 15 yrs or so almost the entire trucking industry has gone to electronic logs, GPS tracking and limiters for insurance reasons. Outside of somewhere in NM or AZ the last time I drove I40 from Knoxville to Flagstaff on my way to PHX I can’t remember the last time I saw a trucker over the speed limit.
Years ago I was riding with my little brother and he refused to move TF over from the fast lane. He stacked up about 20 cars. I told him he needed to move. He said he was keeping everyone at the speed limit. I told him he was a douche. He said it was the law! I wondered why?
Couple years later SC passed the law where the left lane is for passing and it's illegal to hold up traffic. Sent a quick text to my dickhead bro. A great day. Only douchebags sleep in the fast lane.

I’m pretty close to that with a little less zen. Most of the other drivers are asses stressing over 30 seconds difference in arrival time. I run the speed limit to +5. I get better mileage that way. Leave early enough to get there and don’t stress.
Correct. And you'd better do it (i.e. pull over to let them pass)!
One night I was in the left lane on the NJ Turnpike and this car came right up behind be flashing his beems, etc. This was back in my younger, "feistier" days, so I brake checked him slightly. Just a tap, nothing else. He persisted, continuing to flash. I brake checked him again, He persisted again. I did it once more and he still persisted. I said, OK, I'll pull over and let him pass and then I"ll get behind him and "brighten his day" a bit, myself! At least, that's what I thought.
As the car passed me, I got blinded by a really bright light coming from the side of the car. I couldn't see what was going on. I braked a bit but the car also braked with me to keep pace and keep that bright white light right in my face. And, then, I happened to notice some funny little letters on the car's front door. "T-R-O-O-P-E-R."
Thank God, he had somewhere to go, or I'm sure he'd have stopped me. So, after a few more seconds of shining his side light in my face to harrass me, he shut it down and took off in the left lane. Apparently, NJ Troopers think they own the left lane and chase anyone else out of it.
Moral of the story, pull over and let them pass. You don't want that person behind you where they can be truly dangerous. You want them ahead of you where you can keep an eye on them.

Impossible!! None of them are 400 lbs.
I like the idea of this. However, if those feelings are GIVEN to a man they are false.
Those things, like everything else, need to be EARNED.
