why I will take the train next time I go to Ogden

[smileyeagle1021]

Keep in mind, this all happened in one trip from Ogden to Salt Lake (a mere 45 miles)

1st sighting- while going through downtown Ogden this guy just randomly stopped in the middle lane, mid block, and waited patiently for a passenger to get in the vehicle... best part, there was plenty of open space along the curb that he could have parked in without blocking traffic.

2nd sighting- not more than a block later, someone turned from the center lane, rather abruptly and without signally, to the right.

3rd sighting- while approaching the freeway, I'm in the left lane and a guy turning right off the freeway damned near hit me because he turned so wide.

4th sighting- I'm now safely on the freeway... or so I think... I'm in the middle lane, this idiot merges in off the entrance and without looking just shoots over two lanes to the exact place my vehicle was occupying... thank God the far left lane was open for me to swerve into.

5th sighting- carpool lane means two or more occupants asshole...

6th sighting- do not cross double white line means do not cross asshole...

7th sighting- use your blinker asshole (times I lost count)...

8th sighting- please stay within the lines asshole (times about 10)

9th sighting- it's a cop on the side of the road... not an amusement park sideshow, you don't need to slam on your breaks and ogle, you weren't speeding to begin with.

10th sighting- will all you idiots who don't know how to drive please just die in a fire already, kthnxbye

I love the people that make right turns like they are a Harpoon missile going into kill mode (the Harpoon if I remember correctly will veer up at the last minute to plunge through the deck). Usually it's some jackass in his SUV.

Today while I was out and about, I saw some do the turn right from the left lane maneuver. Fortunately he didn't cut too many people off.

Canadian Winter Corollary: Do as SUVs do at your own Risk. Snowplows Don't stop, They weigh as much as a fully-loaded articulated bus, and the plow blades will tumble anything smaller then them into a ditch, or over the sidewalk into someone's front yard.

Police usually get a laugh about it all as ~everyone~ who lives up here knows how dangerous those plows are.

Everywhere winter corolarry: Ice is not a high friction surface all car functions that require friction require a lighter foot and at least 3x as much space, this includes accelrating, cornering, and skidding into my parent's car in a school zone while children are crossing the street (Luckily no one was hurt)

What I hate is when you're on a multi lane road, not necessarily a highway but perhaps like a main drag (like where I live) and someone is doing the "God given right to turn on red" and they turn SOOO wide that I always panic when I'm driving past as they turn.....or they are so ignorant as to turn....3 lanes over in the process.
