Perhaps we could promote a new civility program with respect to driving..some way to communicate to the masses to slow down, and have respect for each other on the road?

We're I live here in Clearwater I have a handicap placket but other cars that do not have a placket or handicap license plate are parked in the handicap parking spaces. I have seen the police in here and they do nothing. So now when I'm on the road I drive just like the rest of these people and lay on my horn just like they do.
I hate it when non handicap displayed cars take our handicapped spaces. I feel like having our car parked right behind them....LOL!

I have not noticed a difference in that aspect.

And short changed drivers in over compensating big black R/T racing around, thinking they could never be the cause of an accident.

Plus it seems everyone does the rolling stop or full speed through stop signs.

Yep!

I just like putting young punks in their place with their rice cars. Back when i went crazy with my money i was buying a new car every 3 months. Nothing like a modded 4800LB R/T RAM beating punks in Hondas and such.

Actually, that's what you should do. Park, call the cops....tickets for this offense can be quite steep.

I have issues with them too. I hate it how people don't use their freaking blinkers. I nearly had someone hit me the other day because the driver "decided" to suddenly come over into my lane because of this. It is NOT difficult to turn on your blinkers. They are there for a reason. USE them.

Another thing I hate is when people drive just below the speed limit, and in the fast lane. The traffic is very stop and go because of this. It doesn't flow.

My mouth can get pretty salty when I drive.

Though I like this one better: Visualize Whirled Peas

We used to say that the car is not paid off...at least the blinker(s) have not been paid yet and that is probably why they are not used

Lately on St. Rd 54 I had a couple of times some fun...some people hanging either on my bumper and than jumping to the next bumper and passing and pushing the pedal and being so stressed and relieving at least that by speeding up, got stopped shortly thereafter and passing and see them sitting and waiting for the cop to walk over to their window is priceless!
