What's that old saying, ban low performance drivers, not high performance cars? Can't remember where I read that. Probably C & D or R & T a couple of decades ago.

So this morning I'm following a non-descript sedan that is just poking along, holding up traffic. I ended up following this yo-yo all the way to my parking lot (no good place to pass). As we poked along this genius overshot stop signs by a few feet and swung way wide on right hand turns. I got to looking closer and all of the windows were fogged up on the inside and covered with last nights dew on the outside.

Why is it that folks won't take a few minutes to squeegee their windows and warm up their car enough to let the window defrosters do their job? They are a menace.

^No kidding. I was almost hit a year back. I was about to go through the intersection (green) when someone with windows completely fogged goes to stop at the intersection (red) but instead of stopping at the white line decides to come to a complete stop in my lane because they could not see outside there car. I was lucky and had enough time to stop, but I was just stunned that people are that dumb.


Also saw a guy pumping gas leave his kid/infant in the car (in car seat) with the gas pumping while he went to go buy some snacks (100% unattended). I almost went up and yelled at the guy but I figured it would go in one ear and out the other, like most people.

Im sure your annoyance is shared by most people on here, driving is too much a right and not a privilege!

 

That's against the law in just about every state. Had there been a cop nearby I would've flagged them down, called the cops, or given him a piece of my mind! People are idiots and they are still breeding!

 

^didnt know that, I always just stay there with my hand on the nozzle and get pissed by people who do not have some respect for how bad an accident at a gas pump can be. BTW, that was just the worst because of the kid in the car, I see people leave it unattended all the time...I think I'll start telling them about it now.

 

I'm guilty of sitting in the car while gas is pumping, but I don't leave the car unattended. For some reason I like to put the car "ON" (engine not running) and watch the fuel needle move up. Weird, I know.

I did see a chick pump gas while smoking once. She had a lit cigarette in between her fingers on the same hand she was squeezing the pump trigger with. I was inside the store when I saw her, and stayed put until she got done.

 

I use the "fogged-up window test" as a sure sign of vehicle ignorance. All you need to do is take the intake button off "recirculate". I guess that exceeds the IQ of many "drivers".

 

For us northerns. I love it when we get really heavy snow and people don't bother to scrape the snow/ice off of their windows. They poke a small porthole through the windshield to see while all the snow on top of the car flies off and blinds you.

 

I thought gas stations were no-smoking areas..?

 

So are a lot of places... that hasn't stopped a lot of people
