Public Service Announcement: For those of you who choose to drive on days where it is snowing, raining, foggy, or otherwise inclement, including dusk and dawn. Please kindly turn on you headlights. I understand that YOU may not be able to see better during the day, but I can see you better. Just because your drive lights are on does not mean your tail lights are on. So flip the switch, please. Also in case you have not noticed the lever on the steering column on the left side is for your turn signals. Try using it once and a while. You may know where you are going but I as the other driver do not. It would be nice to know when you are going to cut me off. A little courtesy goes a long way. Now stop being a douche bag and have a nice day. This has been a Public Service Announcement. Thank you. |

Just because you cant see anyone in your mirror, i dont care how big your mirror is, its no replacement for turning your lazy ass head around and looking for yourself. Especially when i am on my bike i try to drive as defensivly as possible, but i cant remember how many times people switch lanes without looking. |

Unless you are behind the helpless ol' geezer that should have stayed at home anyway. Feel free to ride the ass of anyone going 30 under because they are on their way to the Ol' Country Buffet for the seniour discount. Or the Hybrid driving, non-working , green-peace douche taking their time to save fuel and $ so they can spend a grand at Starbucks for liquid crack. If you can't drive in this weather, stay home take your pills and scratch yourself! Call your grandkids if you need a ride! |

Seemed like it took him 5 minutes to get his New Yorker up to 10 ( in a 25 ) over the course of half a block, then he would take another half a block to slow down and stop!!! |
Technically by law if your wipers are on, your headlights must be on in WI.  And take the damn cell phone out of your ear when driving. You aint that damn important that you need to be endagering other drivers with your innattentiveness. Also quit playing around with your laptop, reading the newspaper, putting on makeup, fixing your hair and looking in the back seat while driving. |
"Driving" lights do not count as substitution for headlights. "Driving" lights are often brighter than high beams so don't be a dink... please do not drive around town with your driving lights on... "Marker/Parking" lights are not substitution for headlights....

OEM ones are usually about as bright as low beams. Problem is the dealers and owners dont or dont know how to aim them correctly. I find GM full size trucks from 99-06's low beams to be way over bright even when aimed correctly. They are quite annoying even in my dakota with both a tinted shell window and rear sliding window. Also they glare like hell in my mirrors. Now aftermarket driving lights are 55w compared to OEM 35w. Those can be downright blinding if not aimed. Then you have these retards who put the HID look-a-like bulbs in. 1 they dont help visability and 2 they are very annoying to oncoming drivers. Then the next group of retards are the morons who PAINT their headlight and taillight lenses to look like projector lenses and skyline/ferrari taillights. Next are teh morons who put red/blue or green bulbs in their turn signals. Usually its the same morons who have blue lights where the wiper spray nozzles are and have only one wiper arm to look like some expensive luxury cars that only have one. |
No kidding. Kid behind us pissed off enough neighbours that someone broke into his car and smashed his whole system. Kid used to come down teh street fri and sat night at 2am rattling everyones home. The he'd sit in his drive, apparently mommy and daddy werent home at the time, thumping it. When I read that in the police report section of the paper I fell out of the chair in laughter. |
Don't forget the jits that leave their high beams on in traffic. |
I don't see any bullet holes in that fool's car None! WTF is wrong with you? |
Care to point to the statute that says that? nxt.legis.state.wi.us/nxt/gateway.dll?f=templates&fn=default.htm&vid=WI:Default&d=stats&jd=top Hint, check 347.06 |
I did, I can't find where it is called "passing lights" Can you? Hint, check 347.12 |
 Please tell me you pitted his dumb ass? |
aka "flash-to-pass". No, most drivers in WI wouldn't know what it means, but they should.... Here you go: link Here is a good read. Unfortunately, most of it is foreign to WI drivers: link |
Slight problem with flash to pass, most drivers think thats aggressive driving and start into their little road rage attitudes. |
I'm well aware of what it "means" and that is fine and all. I'm just letting you know that technically after dark it isn't legal. I don't want you to get stopped because someone wouldn't get out of your way.
