Or people don't even know the law.
Did you guys know In RI it's illegal to pass a bicycle on a double yellow line road unless you give them around 3 to 4feet?

I know that, but I don't insist on it. Give me 2 feet and I'm happy. I had a van pass me close enough to brush me with his passenger side mirror recently, on a side road in Falmouth.
The other annoyance is the guy who has room to pass, a clear oncoming lane, and just sits there letting me know how annoyed he is at me "holding him up". |

When running, I always notice it is the obese people who find it necessary to almost brush you with their car. Why? I have no clue, but it's almost always the case. |

Greg, I did that because I recognized you and was trying to scare you. It had nothing to do with me being obese.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Didn't realize that was you. I didn't think it was possible for you to drive a girlier car, but you proved me wrong. |

No, I have a purple Volkswagen bug now. Complete with the tulips in the dashboard. The Sebring wasn't gay enough.

It really is bad out there. I don't know if it's honest ignorance or just not giving a crap, but the end result is the same.
I firmly believe it's moon related. I can tell when the full/new moon is coming because the Gloucester drivers start going nuts... Running stops, cutting pedestrians and drivers off, doing the creep (you know what it is), weaving off the road, speeding, etc... Happens like clockwork- started seeing it strong yesterday.
But my biggest pet peeve is the lack of blinker usage. I find it amazing how many MA drivers seem to not know what that little lever next to their steering wheel does. I was driving into work one day, and the entire route I was behind a car that didn't use their blinker once (and there are quite a few turns on the way). He pulled into my building, and I parked nearby... I made sure to tell him in a concerned voice that he should take his car to the shop, because his turn signals were broken. What a dirty look I got  |
