I've wanted to pull ahead of someone who does that, light a road flare, and toss it out my window.

Sometimes I accidentally flick pennies out my sunroof in front of butt tossers.

I want to be able to fine and/or PIT "on ramp blind spot riders". You know, car (or, more likely, soccermom'd SUV) coming on the freeway from the ramp, you move over to be accommodating, and they proceed to settle into your blind spot and pace you as you try to get back into your original lane.

Happily, unfortunately its currently a tad bit illegal.

Every morning theres a douchebag 17yo in a brodozer that lays a smokescreen past my house.....this morning it was tempting to accidentally pull out and send him ramping.

AAAAHHHHHH!!!! That happens with 75% or more of the drivers that enter the freeway these days. I typically do 70 mph so I'm in the right lane. I'll see them on the ramp. I'll have to slow down to let them on (because they don't know how to merge), then, only when they are fully on I-75 will they punch it and take off into traffic.
It amazes me every time.

When I had my 318ti.. I took an M5 around a 2 lane onramp. I was going from the Garden State Parkway onto the Atlantic City Expressway.. So I hit the onramp at 70mph and exited it about 85.. midway through I flew past a new M5... who them proceeded to blow by me as soon as the road straightened out

From the northeast: if you can't be bothered to clear the snow from your windows (not just in front of you) I can't be bothered to not knock you into the woods with a little Earnhardt bump pass. You'll never see it coming anyway! And get the snow off the roof moron.

I am pretty sure that they disconnect the signals before they ship cars up here, based on their lack of use. I am not sure how mine escaped that step . . . . . .

Remember its signal before brake.

My brother in law used to install them. He died of a diabetic coma shortly after his wife left him. There was nobody around to wake him up. Karma at work.

Next time you have a fire, take a stick that is red on the end and drop it in your lap. That is pretty well what it feels like.
It doesn't if you're wearing full gear......ball bearings still hurt through armor though

I've had two come close, even with gear. One nearly wedged between my glove and jacket cuff, thankfully it didn't burn my wrist. The day one actually gets through, you'll see me on the news for having returned the cigarette to said ignorant driver in a spectacular fashion.

Fines for allowing more than 2 feet of space between cars turning left at an advanced green light. Public execution for the guy at the front who ALWAYS seems to be asleep.

Yes.

Also fines for leaving a huge gap between cars when sitting at a light. Line backs up = people @ the back cannot get into right or left turning lanes.

I'm in agreement with the last part of that …. but I was taught that you should always leave room between you and the car stopped in front of you … we were taught to stop where we could still see the tires of the vehicle in front ….

this to give a tiny bit of cushion in case you got rear ended … or needed to maneuver around the vehicle in front

Fines to people who abuse Handicap placards.

Also fines to anyone who is driving a Brodozer and has handicapped plates/placard. Sorry, if you need a Yak and a Sherpa to climb into your truck, you can walk an extra 50 feet to the store like the rest of us.

Don't mean to offend anyone, it's just a bitch taking grandma to the store every once in a while.

We should be allowed to ram people who are going straight on a 3 lane road and rather than get behind the 2 cars in the left and center lane,they must be first in line in the far right lane then sit through the light blocking all the "right on red" folks.

I once walked past an Exige with a handicapped placard and was tempted to wait and see just who got into the thing.

I had a bit of difficulty clambering out of one and I'm not even 30!

Or even worse, the people that sit in the intersection waiting to turn left, but are so afraid of turning, even when there's time, they wait until the light turns red, then turn. Happens all the time around here.

Never, ever slow down on the highway to let somebody in. Two wrongs don't make a right. If nobody slowed down, they would have no choice but to learn how to merge.

or are in a manual shift car on a hill or incline. I used to hate it when people got right up on my bumper at a light when all I had to do was let off the brake to roll back

As for Handicapped Placards. I qualify for one with my intestinal issues (sometimes I gotta be closer to a bathroom than a walk across a parking lot allows) but I have never bothered. Just remember, not all handicaps are visible. My father also used to drive sports cars (MGs and Triumphs) with two artificial hips. Watching him get in and out was always fun

There was a Jeep Wrangler Moab Editon in a handicap spot at the mall yesterday.It was on jacked up suspension with huge tires. The door sill was even with my waist. I was in a hurry so I didn't wait around for the driver to return to see how nimble he/she was getting up into that thing.
My fines would be for those folks who can't seem to grasp how traffic cirles function and will come to a stop at the worst places.
