double standards
My son pointed out a funny thing to me yesterday. Anytime I am driving the car and a car cuts me off or does something stupid I tend to voice my opinion of the driver by calling them stupid(I am a poor role model for my son,I know) well yesterday we were in the car and a dude on a bike came out of a parking lot without looking I guess,I saw him and hit the brakes,we made eye contact and he went on his way, my son said "so if a car cuts you off they are stupid, but if a bike cuts you off" Then he repeated what I said "be careful dude" and then gave him a thumbs up as he rolled by. I laughed my a$$ off. I guess I have double standards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A dumda$$ driver is a dumba$$ driver. Car or bike...... but I think folks who ride like idiots on bikes are even worse, they should know the potential dangers involved riding on 2 wheels.

RE: double standards
Here is another idiot to look out for, saw it yesterday. A guy on a EG cruisin down the road in traffic yakkin on a cell phone. And about a month ago saw another guy yakkin on the cell phone, when the light turned green he was still yakkin and cars were blowin their horns, big time. He was definetly an idiot/*******. It's bad enough yakkin on a cell phone in a cage, but c'mon, yakkin on a bike has tobe making for a phone call to the funeral home. 01 July 2008, the law takes affect,,no yakkin and driving unless you have hands free capabilty.

RE: double standards
Hands free only for cell phones while driving has been the law in Albuquerque for over a year. A friend who is an APD motor LEO says the department writes over 400 cell phone tickets a month, and he says he literally could do nothing but write cell phone tickets all day every day. The fine for the 1st offense is $100, but it sure hasn't made much different. Yesterday on the way home from work at the intersection with I-40 where I get on the I to go home, 6 out of 7 drivers in front of me at the light were on their phones. They scare the hell out of me because they are always distracted from the real task at hand: driving a 3000 pound vehicle.

Wish they would get that law in effect up here, Seems like every 2nd car has some woman yakking on the phone with 1 hand and trying to put on lipstick with the other. Scarey.
