Stopped Traffic Why Why Why ???????????????

[Old School]

People have some consideration for those who travel by auto as well.

The traffic doesn't flow when your dumb ass stops 1 and 2 car lengths from the auto in front of you.

seeing it everywhere....it like a fad or a new precaution that is stalling traffic everywhere.

Goodness someone had a bad day!!! Not sure if you will like this but I do this sometimes in case someone plows into the back of me not looking where they are going. Not sure I see your point, if you move up one car, that doesn't speed up getting to your end destination. To just hurry up an extra foot or two to just wait more? Maybe a government paid for study can time it both ways and report out in 5 years after 1 million in taxpayer money is spent.

My favorite are people who go slow approaching a green light, it goes to yellow and the speed up to get through and leave you stuck at the red light.....:facepalm:

It's kind of the on the road equivalent of taking up multiple parking spaces.

BINGO............

I'm with Wineguy on this one....What's the hurry so it takes an extra 30 seconds to get to you destination?

 

[The Joker]

I listen to NPR (especially on Friday's) and I listen to podcasts. I don't even care about traffic. :0008:0008

If that's how you feel, you should change your signature.

I notice big trucks doing it more in my area......Probably a safety thing with them......Maybe cars are starting to "copy" them........ I hope not.

OK, so you want everyone on everyones ass bumper to bumper because of traffic lights??? Have you noticed when you miss a traffic light that when you get to the next one (in traffic you describe) that the ones that got through are there waiting for the next light? And this is what stresses you out? I would never have expected this from a fishing guy that tells everyone to relax, gives great advice, and never seems to be the guy you are portraying to get somewhere in 34 minutes rather than 36 minutes because of a car difference between cars. Correct me if I am wrong. I live in Atlanta and face the same crap.

Traffic in BG???? :mj07:

Now I will say that Scottsville Road is a damn bear on a Saturday. Sheezus it is bumper to bumper all damn day and great for people watching getting all bent out of shape. Otherwise, NPR sounds nice. :0074

 

[Wineguy]

So do you have your driving route planned out to Denver that you hit every light and stay on the guys bumper in front of you the whole way no matter the situation? 20 hours and 10 minutes is waaaaaaaaay better than 20 hours and 22 minutes. Just sayin'. Look forward to hanging out Eric. :mj07:

Looking forward to playing a round with you, sir! :toast:

 

[Wineguy]

Woo hoo!!! You, myself, Eric and Gary. Way good, many laughs, and great dinner and fun conversation afterwards including Steve and Jack and whoever else is in. Life is good.

you are missing the point ....when people do not pull up behind the car in front of them within a safe distance and NOT lagging behind a whole CAR LENGTH the entire highway isn't used like it is meant be so the flow of traffic is suitable to all travelers.

I can be relaxed in my car listening to Dan Patrick or recalling something smartalec yyz had to say the day before here and drive just fine. I can deal with the traffic surrounding the largest Naval Base in the world a little easier if folks would operate their vehicle like they aren't the only one on their merry way to OZ.

and I despise tail gatters......... ..

OK, I am the dumbass I guess that misses the point of that car length distance when you are STOPPED as you say in your very first post. What is being held up with traffic? It isn't moving???? Again. its your point you made and I should have never come into your thread and doubted you. Just different opinions of a few seconds or minutes when STOPPED in traffic. Enjoy your night Sir.

and I despise tail gatters.....


And just saw you said this? Never mind. my bad. Peace good sir. Not going down a hole you feel strongly about.
