Never mind. OK - I just described how auto accidents happen, and you think it's irrelevant. Explain why you think it's irrelevant.

As a general rule, there has to be other vehicles on the road. 2. You have no clue (about anything generally) about the sight-lines that would expose or obscure other vehicles not on the road, but approaching. 3. Why should I explain anything to you? Give 3 examples in your own words, and no bar talk.

As a general rule, there has to be other vehicles on the road. Yes. "on the road", or in the space you're about to occupy. One moment, nobody there. The next moment, somebody there. There's also the matter of mechanical failure, especially when maintenance is done by a half-wit like the Hack.

JOE SAID Wait for winter and add 20 mph. Do the world (and your mother) a favor. Notice there is NO INDICATION of concern for the safety of others. This fake insistance of concern for the safety of others did not come out until you were called on making a stupid comment (see the stupid comment above in case you forgot making it). |
