Dick Moves

[edro]

I don't let people merge into my lane unless they use their turn signal... even when I KNOW they want in my lane.
You can see them checking their mirrors, matching your speed and driving closer to your lane.

I usually talk aloud to myself saying "How do I know you want in my lane?!?!"

At our office we give out db points when some pulls one of these.

Yeah, well I'm that guy.

If you tried that next to me you'd be driving through the barrels instead of next to them!

We have Dick move #2 right here!

You can wait your turn too

I lane split and ride in the carpool lane on my motorcycle. Bet that pisses you off too huh?

You'll do that until you get a ticket one day. If you are not impeding my driving I don't care WTF you do. I see you haven't bothered to read the rest of this thread yet. Come back to troll when you have, thanks.

Dick move? Naw, just doing my part to help traffic flow smoothly for everybody.

I can't believe it, but I'm going to agree with Spidey here. I've done this with a group of School Buses (looked new, I assume they were being delivered)...it was great driving alongside in my Caddy, with 2-3 cars behind me honking to let them through. Fat chance, you guys are part of the reason this merge is backed up for 3 miles! I hated it every time I had to drive north on I-81 in PA that summer.

I don't understand the logic in this.

By preventing the stopping/starting and forcing everybody to the same speed BEFORE the merge happens everybody gets through it much faster. It's the people cutting in and forcing people to slam on their brakes to maintain a safe distance that makes traffic flow much slower.

I'm just picturing you pacing a big rig with two wide open lanes way in front of you and the big rig. The big rig that moved to the right so people could pass him.

 

[vi edit]

I don't do dick moves. Especially in a car. I just don't see much point trying to stroke my 3600 pound vehicular phallus at the risk of others, my family, or myself over such petty reasons.

Why would I get a ticket?

I skimmed through the rest of the thread. It is full of holier than thou idiots beating their chests and generally behaving like children...in other words, status quo.

Last I checked it's not legal to drive in a breakdown lane unless there are signs permitting you to. As far as lane splitting, while technically not illegal in all states, you will still most likely get pulled over for it and ticketed under some bullshit like reckless endangerment etc.

Don't follow the rules of the road and/or do stupid unsafe shit and expect to get pulled if caught. Is that hard to understand?

This. There's just no real point. *BEST* case scenario, you hold your ground and the idiot just shoves his way in behind you. *WORST* case scenario, you and this idiot cause a pileup. If you actually do cause him to wait, do you honestly feel better about yourself or your day? Is the buzz that lasts for a fraction of a second worth what you're fronting to roll the dice? Betting $100 to win a penny. Silly.

He didn't say breakdown lane, he said Carpool lane

Carpool and lane sharing on a Motorcycle are perfectly legal in CA.


Edit: It also won't "most likely get you pulled over" I have been doing it for several years, EVERY motorcycle out here does it. The only time I have even heard of someone getting a ticket doing this was in a car. He saw a motorcycle coming and tried to crowd it over into another car.. Too bad for him he didn't notice it was a Highway Patrol bike.

Um, both of those are legal in California...try again.

Try checking the state I live in next time mkay because the fact of the matter is you're just plain WRONG.

Oh, and I said carpool lane, not breakdown lane.

I wasn't being holier than thou, nor was I beating my chest. It seems a number of people in this thread feel that is their responsibility to hand out street justice for some reason. They are wrong.

Ease off the roids there Nancy.

I don't do anything dick-ish unless provoked. I think the most vicious thing I've done to people regularly is brake-checking. Get your fat piece of shit escalade further back than 3 inches or I'll make you have a heart attack and laugh.

I can't believe it, but I'm going to agree with Spidey here. I've done this with a group of School Buses (looked new, I assume they were being delivered)...it was great driving alongside in my Caddy, with 2-3 cars behind me honking to let them through. Fat chance, you guys are part of the reason this merge is backed up for 3 miles! I hated it every time I had to drive north on I-81 in PA that summer.

I'm just picturing you pacing a big rig with two wide open lanes way in front of you and the big rig. The big rig that moved to the right so people could pass him.

In the case of merging traffic (at least the situation I, and probably spidey, are describing) the big rig would have no open lane in front of him, he'd be following the vehicle directly in front of him and moving at the speed of traffic in that lane (the lane that's being merged into). The lane I'm in would, indeed, have 0 cars in front of me, ideally, so that cars are merging behind me into the correct lane, ensuring that traffic is always flowing steadily at the choke-point, rather than stop/start as jackasses race up to the choke point and then have to cut off the cars there, thus stopping traffic completely.

I can't tell you how many times I've entered a freeway on ramp and gotten up to the top of the on ramp to find traffic stopped on the freeway. I just drive up until a) I find a space I can merge in or b) drive up to the end of the lane until someone lets me in. Generally people are fairly willing to let me in and when I'm the one of the freeway I'll let people merge in front of me.

There's no reason to be a douche when you get behind the wheel of a car.
