Corollary to this is after you lightly touch your horn to wake them up to the change and it sets off a road rage situation where they turn around and stare at you till it's yellow then go on... You follow through and they go down the road stomping their brakes at random intervals...
IKR. Unfortunately, it's to dangerous to blow your horn around Detroit. Forget giving the finger. Unless of course you like getting in shoot outs.
I grew up in the 70's in California. The left lane was called the "Passing Lane", and you'd get pulled over if you were driving in it and not passing. In fact, it was patrolled so good that if you didn't get your passing over with, you'd get pulled over. It was the "Passing Lane". Soon as I moved to Oregon, that was the first thing I noticed, people driving in any lane they felt like and people passing on the right. After some time I realized it was because here in Oregon they call it the "Fast Lane". So they drive 5 miles over the speed limit and now they think they qualify to drive in the "Fast Lane".
When living back in MA we use to go out on early morning Sunday rides on our motorcycles. There was always a bunch of these bicyclist's who would ride 3,4 and sometimes 5 wide almost into the yellow line. They would rarely move over and even when they did they were still 2-3 wide into our lane. So one morning we got sick of it and went by them grabbed the clutch and wood it up scaring the crap out of them. lol We all had race bikes with loud pipes so it was a shocker to say the least.
when karens and kens ride a damn bike in traffic, do not follow the rules of the road and then act all entitled and angry when cars are dangerously close... often while less than 50 feet from a dedicated bike lane or trail. what level of disregard does it take to make a decision that one would elect happily to put life at extreme risk when better options are possible. why do bikes not have to be inspected, plated and have all the lights or horn. ohhh thats right, they were not meant to be on the street with cars - duh i forgot.
They have a 'right' to be there. Even if it costs them their life - idiots! Like pedestrians; of course I should look out for you, but I think it's just a little easier for you to see and hear me coming. What happened to looking both ways. But hey, expect your 'right' and get ran over defending it. Yep, I'm an old fogy. And stay off my grass!

To make it worse, many are now wearing GoPros so the days of forcing them into a ditch are over ??

And they don't post the whole story on YouTube, they post the response. Even in my car (because I like to drive slow) I pull over when someone wants to get past me. I lose maybe 30 seconds to be yielding to others.
I wonder if you could back away and set the adaptive cruise control - that way you could just let your ranger manage your following distance while you post here at ranger5g.
i can see that going badly - but officer i set the adaptive cruise control, the truck just hates people on bicycles lol.I wonder if you could back away and set the adaptive cruise control - that way you could just let your ranger manage your following distance while you post here at ranger5g.
I am a cyclist and taught boy scouts merit badges on cycling. Cycling advocacy groups encourage the sharing of the road. Which means for the cyclist no double dutch and riding 2 ' into the lane... The reason for this is to avoid drainage grates on the edge of the lane and to give enough room for traffic to pass by but having folks slow down as they pass. The pro cyclist wannabees in full regalia and huge bellies riding 4 wide with their double wide fat a$$ who don't stop at traffic lights or blow through stop signs should be given tickets... But they fully communicate their disrespect for others. They cause more harm to those who actually respect the idea of sharing the road with cars. It is a true problem for those who advocate cycling.
I appreciate that.
Man tough!,There's way to many things to list.
Plus the ones I'd like to list, I'd have to ban myself afterwards.
It's pretty hard censoring yourself. ?Man tough!,
But fair!
