My new Evo x-mas present

Since it's a little cold outside since winter is upon us in a few weeks, whats better than to have this nifty little device in you car while your driving and some jackass decides to cut you off? Well I for one will not take it any longer, so I picked up one of these and will have its new home on the passenger seat.

Road rage cards

I like those. need them to get the slow asses out of the fast lane. And those people who drive customize pick-up truck 45 MPH in a 65MPH zone.

i don't know what it is about cali, but everyone and their brother has to drive in the fast lane, no matter how fast they're going. i feel like i'm in england, having to pass on the left.

when i lived in maine, everyone pulls out in front of you, but they wait until about 75 feet out. just in time hit hard on the brakes.

i lived in italy for 4 years and it was awesome. 2 lane roads are turned into 3 lane roads. you pass down the middle of the oncoming car and the car going with you, no matter how fast you're going. the car going with you gets over to the far right, you flash your brights at the oncoming car to tell them to get over, and they do. it's so efficient. no attitude at all about passing.

There was an interesting article in road and track (or maybe C&D) this month about how americans have no idea what the fast lane is for. It is a fact that canadians and western europeans know how to drive better and know how the system should work.

Unfortunately the yankie test is so easy a blindfolded chimp on crack could do it.

It is all about drivers ed/training.


Imagine how the average american would do on the auotbahn?

Rant over

Cards are awesome.

I would make up my own one "can you read the signs which say keep right except to pass-if not then you obviuosly cant read this-**** u"

Classic. That's the american way.

i lived in italy for 4 years and it was awesome. 2 lane roads are turned into 3 lane roads. you pass down the middle of the oncoming car and the car going with you, no matter how fast you're going. the car going with you gets over to the far right, you flash your brights at the oncoming car to tell them to get over, and they do. it's so efficient. no attitude at all about passing.
Italians are the best drivers in the world, they drive fastests, they form lanes as needed and have the least amount of accidents.

People in Europe still have better driving culture than here. Here we talk about building extra lanes when traffic gets slow instead of increasing driving culture. That would reduce traffic jams, increase gas mileage etc etc etc.
Then roads in EU are also better and purposly built. Very rarely you'll have exit on the left side of the road and I don't know of any enterances to a highway from the left side into the fast lane (like Garden State Parkway in NJ for example). And so on...

They are all over the place here, if your talking about interchanges, people doing 45 on the ramp when it hits 55 they seem to slow down to 40 them they finally realize that they wont make the exit and gun it. I've seen it a thousand times.

If you are in the SE WI area the Zoo interchange is notorious for accidents. Well let me take that back, 99% of people here are idiot drivers, id much rather drive on the loop in Chicago.

I was talking about Europe, none of the highways/autobahns I know of have enterance into the left lane like here in the States. I've been all over Europe and there was only one time I saw an exit on the left and it was done really well.
