Good job golf carts are not allowed on roads.
Fancy being overtaken in a Ferrari by one of them speeding past at 25mph!

Seriously???? I can't believe that even the Grand Poobah of climate change village idiots could explain how lowering the speed limit from 30 to 20 "saves the planet"

It doesn't. But the speeding fines are plentiful, and very welcome from the enforcers!

Just because YOU are passing through does not mean ALL DRIVERS ARE. Those who honk horns in our community, pretending the left lane is for passing, ARE ANNOYING. If you are running late, it is your fault. Do not expect drivers to clear the road so YOU can pass freely. Instead, recognize, at any time, a driver in the left lane needs to make a left exit. Pretending they are driving in front of you just to annoy you will give you road rage.

No. Left Lane Campers habitually drive in the left lane and do so for miles on end. A great example is 301. Yes there are left turns, but these self absorbed people go for miles without turning, while lines of frustrated drivers form a long parade behind them.

No. It isn't All About You. If someone is behind you pull into the right lane. It isn't about judging other drivers and finding them guilty. You are judging each driver based on your sense of Right and Wrong. That isn't a component of driving; it is simple- someone is behind you so Pull Over. All this judgement is the reason for most of the road rage incidents.

That person said they do whatever they want without concern for other drivers. It is implied that they don't follow laws as they drive. Driving safely is a combination of courtesy and following laws. That person bragged that they don't care how their driving affects any other drivers. I think that is a clear admission of violating laws.

We tell you how to go around a rotary so you don't plow into our cars when you make a last minute decision.

As already explained, that would be your inference...

What about the "We" who continue to give incorrect information about driving thru roundabouts? Should we listen to them?

I travel 301 daily and I see the opposite. A few drivers accelerating to pass as many cars as possible, and weaving in and out of lanes. Aggressive driving will not get the result you desire. Most cars will slow down fearful of being struck.

When 301 is congested, a driver should not expect the road to magically open for him. The left lane is not a "drive as fast as I want" lane. There are posted speed limits. Drivers who ignore the limit are dangerous.

Why do you ignore the 19 mph part? Trying to spin the darkest picture! That's why.

Actually, most people are in that club. Aka the "get out of my way you miserable slowpoke" club. Aka the "I'm right, everyone else is wrong" club. Aka the "laws are for other people" club. Aka the "I'm special. How dare you troglodites not bow to my superiority" club. Aka -----

Yes, one member is very sufficient, as long as that one is me.

When I was a young kid, I used to say, "I like myself and I love myself". I guess I haven't changed much.
