AND THEN THERES SACRAMENTO!!!! Never in my life have I witnessed so many single vehicle accidents.

My insurance went up 300 bucks a year when I moved there.

 

Some STi drivers are worst then Prius drives.

Socal drivers like to merge into lanes without looking.

 

No, I meant head-lights, not DRLs, so my taillights were always on as well. It came that way, so I didn't think anything of it.

I'd much rather see people driving around with their headlights on ALL the time, rather than see people driving around at night without ANYTHING on. One is just an aesthetic issue (to some), while the other is a safety issue (to all).

 

FIXED.

Try that **** in the city of L.A. and you'll hear the ****ing horn for 10 straight seconds LMAO

 

Yea IF you don't hear the *BLAM* of a gun....

remember LA invented the freeway shooting

 

This behavior is ONLY acceptable when towing live weight (i.e. horses) and when kept in the 2 right hand lanes. Otherwise, 100% agree with this statement. Unless someone is standing up in a metal box on wheels that is being pulled by your car, I don't see any reason why you should not be doing 65 MINIMUM by the time you reach the end of the on ramp. Pedal on the right, use it pls.


I often drive with my headlights on all the time because I drive in the mountains daily and I notice that the cars with their lights on are much more visible than those with their lights off... I'd rather be a visible car on a twisty road than an invisible car

 

i totally agree with having all headlights on while on any backroad, mountain road. i do it all the time, that is a safety precaution. but those who drive on regular streets, get gets annoying, esp when they have bright *** HIDs around 8k with purple hue. it does get in your eye. a lot.

 

That's all well and good. However, there are several others that do it because they are oblivious that there lights are even on which falls in line with the other oblivious people that drive at night with no lights or just parking lights.

Just clueless people in general.

 

People who cut into your 2-3 second gap at non stop and go traffic should DIAF too

 

If I had a big truck, I'd put a cow catcher on it and mash on the freeways mad max style

 

timeout for one second

first of all i can get my prius to at least 70 by the time i hit the end of the on ramp, its just the douches bags trying to get good gas milage that dont. so dont generalize. as i have stated many times i am pry the only person that gets bad gas mileage in a prius. by bad i mean 25 mpg or less. yes it is possible, i will take a picture next time i get it that low.

second of all if i have my little boy in the backeseat and i wanna go 55 or 60 on the freeway and im in the slow lane. **** OFF!! if i am not doing it in the fast lane dont jump on my *** and expect me to go faster. if i am in the #1 land driving that slow, fine i understand, but thats why its the slow lane *******s. after all the speed LIMIT is 65 doesnt mean i have to drive it. if my son is in my car and i decide thats a safe speed to drive at and it keeps him asleep. you can go **** your self.

everything else i agree with.

 

epic thread... thanks

 

My biggest pet peeve generalizes all cal drivers period. Get your headlights aimed correctly and turn off your brights!!!!!!!!!!!!! HID's don't bother me when they're aimed properly, but standard low beam driving lights that are aimed too high blind the crap out of me. I can't go 10 feet on 880 at night without some douche with misaimed headlights or another with their high beams on blinding me to the point where I have to move all my mirrors pointing away from me. After I finally get away from the douche my night vision is so degraded that I almost need to pull off the road and it's around this time another idiot gets on the road. I see this crap all over cal and its time it gets fixed.

This crap never happens in my home state cause we have mandatory yearly state safety inspections (safety only with none of the emissions crap you guys have here) where part of it is checking for properly aimed headlights otherwise you fail. Failing means you have about 3 days to get it fixed or you can't drive the car on the road. The state troopers are also very good at pulling people over for safety violations like this no matter what state the car is registered in.

Simply put get your headlights aimed and turn off your brights, the life or lives you save may be my own or my friend's thank goodness none of my family is here.

 

Amen! Someone followed me all the way down Calaveras Blvd tonight (from Felter Rd to the bottom of the hill- can't remember the street name) WITH THEIR HIGH BEAMS ON! The best part was that they turned them off every time an on coming car approached, but then turned them back on after the car passed!

 

Wow, what a freakin' moron.
