Drive a motorcycle and filter past all the idling losers. Best feeling in the world :D
- delinka 11y agoExcept in some places, this is illegal. And because other drivers know that, doing it is fraught with danger.
- aianus 11y agoIt's even more fun when it's illegal. Loser cagers get so mad they look like they're about to burst a vein in their heads.
- delinka 11y agoI'd like a response to the last part of my statement. You do this in my state, and some other driver 'accidentally' cuts you off, they're not liable because you shouldn't have been there and they had no [legal] expectation that a two wheeled vehicle would be there. They get off, you're injured and out a whole motorcycle, and your insurance is paying for the damage to their vehicle.
- aianus 11y agoNever seen it happen, and even if it did it would be worth it for the overall time savings ($50/h * 50 minutes every work day = $9,000 a year in time savings). I would also be very surprised if they're not liable. What if I had been a bicycle? It's not hard to do reasonably safely.
- fmoralesc 11y agoAlso, ride a bike and filter past all the motorcyclists who get stuck between the cars.
- anon4 11y agoOh boy, if you thought drivers hated you when you were on a motorbike, just wait until they see you on a bicycle. It's like waving a giant red flag in front of a bull, while someone is sticking it in the balls with a hot poker. It doesn't help that driving education skimps on the road rules governing car-bicycle interactions and the rights of bicyclists on the use of roads, so a lot of drivers believe in made-up folklore rules.
