    Re: vacation rant

    European drivers will pass you and merge but keep their speed. I always find that in the USA someone will pass you and then hit their brake lights when they merge too soon. Worse yet many slow down...

    Re: Missing My Arrows

    I just love the boot-up ring tones of the V1 and looking up and seeing the arrows especially in a multiple bogie zone. It is second nature to glance up and adjust accordingly. I put an old detector...
  3. Re: Problem with Police Delivery of Testimony

    Most State police do have a higher level of honor and professionalism. I was pulled over as the “Ford” in front of me was clocked doing over the PSL. I told the State LEO that he should have pulled...
  4. Re: Problem with Police Delivery of Testimony

    Most of the videos I have taken show almost a mile of constant on radar. Or the LEOs hide behind a bridge abutment with laser where they have no idea of the vehicle’s approaching speed. The last...

    Re: vacation rant

    All good points. All violations I see everyday.

    For trucks Ohio seems the worst. As soon as you approach they swerve over and block you for miles just to pass another truck going 1 MPH slower.

    Driving While Cop

    Some days a slight movement gets you pulled over, and a ticket. Yes, some drivers need a refresher as they forgot or never learned how to drive. Or they...

    Re: Did a 360 on the highway yesterday

    Sounds exciting. Was it raining? I once did a 180 with a rental on an exit ramp. That was pretty interesting going backwards at a rapid clip. But it was when full size cars were full size. And after...

    Re: Fake Police Lights

    I think police have enough issues to deal with than civilians with flashing lights. Plus the possible road rage would not be worth the “fun” of driving while cop.

    Re: motorcycle driver

    Let’s say those who exceed the speed limit dramatically. For example if I do 50MPH down a side street as it is smooth, wide and no traffic. A car pulls in front of me as he is expecting traffic to be...

    Re: motorcycle driver

    Always walk away. In this case wave and keep on going. Is it worth getting your door kicked in or worse? Even if you can kick his ass, you will look pretty stupid in court when he sues and you lose. ...

    Re: WTF Driving Moment 5/22/11 video

    This is a good reason for cameras. I usually get about 3 interesting WTF moments a week. Some are just boring lane changes or coming into my lane from the opposite direction. Figure like what has...

    Re: Durango cuts me off twice.

    I find that too many of the left lane loonies are emotionally unbalanced. I have seen several tailgating situations where the Loony wakes up and slams on his brakes and then chases down the alleged...

    Re: Durango cuts me off twice.

    What he said! Seriously what is with left lane hogs. They go 5 under the PSL and only speed up when I move to the right. If they think I am trying to pass them they will then speed up 5-10 over the...

    Re: Irony

    I see variations of that all the time. A car will “hog” the left lane for miles. Then at the last moment he will cut off the lane on the right and exit. Why hold up others if you unaware of your...

    Interesting. I didn’t know they were as being inflicted upon other parts of the country. Must be a diabolical plot created by unknowns in the department of transportation thinking that it solves some...

    Re: Going on Valentine 1 Number Four

    Very happy with the new V1. Something does not feel right until you get it hardwired. I tried using the remote display in the “ash tray” but it did not feel right. So I will have to bring the wire...
  17. Re: Thinking of going back to regular V1 display instead of Dashtronix

    I found a remote V1 display and put it in the ashtray. It was too uncomfortable to monitor. Before I finished my short destination I took it off the power plug and went back to just the windshield...

    Re: Roundabouts - Near Miss

    All those entering a roundabout must yield. There are no turn indicators as I cannot switch lanes on a solid white anyway. Could you imagine 3 lanes of turn indicators seemingly contradicting each...

    Re: Idiot blows through a red light (video)

    Guess he didn't see all the red lights?

    That could have been a serious wreck. Glad the cross traffic paused for some reason.

    Re: This is a cute Maneuver

    Yes they are. The scary part is the pedestrian walkways. If you see a minvan with a female driver. Stay. They accelerate and will steer around you rather than stop.

    This is a cute Maneuver

    This is cute. She was smiling the whole time. Shows you just have to cover your brakes.
