New Hwy Law - June 01st , 2009

I figure the faster you drive by them, the less time and therefore the less chance you have of hitting 'em.

I kid, I kid...

 

 

          In Oregon that is the law, I guess I just assumed BC/Canada had the same law already.   I mean its just common sense, you see emergency vehicles on the side of the road, slow the F down.  

It is fricken amazing who don't move...in Vancouver they are horrible, in the Valley people move...good, hope they nail a few peeps!

It's like my other pet peeve...HOV lanes and only 1 fricken driver!!!...DRIVES me nuts...just give me that job of HOV cop and I would pay my salary and profit with how many arsholes use it...and have no guilt either...give them a hefty fine they will listen!

What actually is the fine for being a single occupant driver and caught in the HOV lane. My guess is its cheap, becuase so.....many people seem to ignore this rule. Or is this not in the testing when people come here to live from overseas?

It blows my mind. I used to commute into Vancouver from Maple Ridge with my partner everyday and used the HOV lane. If I had a dollar for how many times I witnessed a single drive in the HOV lane I could have retired.

I am still perplexed why so many people take the risk. Now when I see this occur I give out Bad KARMA tickets, let them pay for it in their next life somehow as well.

So Brian, how'd you acquire the email address for those guys?

When I click on it, Outlook Express opens up all ready to compose a new message, complete with the "address" you posted already in the apropriate  box.

True that Davie Boy. My buddy from class and I were driving home from school, and some elderly man started wandering into out lane. After we honked and he looked up and saw what he was doing, HE CONTINUED TO KEEP MOVING INTO OUR LANE. Eventually, poor Brian had to slam the brakes on. Then again, his Lancer was modified enough for him to pull back in front of the terrible driver and run. lol
