View Full Version : PSA: the proper way to execute a lane change prometheum 08-21-2005, 07:20 AM 1) Turn Your Damned Blinker On 2) look! 3) make sure there is not going to be a car where you want to be 4) once steps 1-3 have been executed you may proceed to turn into the next lane and these steps must be executed in exactly that order 2DMFST 08-21-2005, 03:33 PM Id like to add if I may 1. Glance in mirror to see if there is a car near you in the lane you want to be in. 2. If no car then turn blinker on. 3. Look again to make sure there is no car AND no car gaining on you at high speed. 4. Give the people you just passed a mean look. soldmyboxster 08-21-2005, 03:40 PM No no no....clearly, you don't drive in AK. Turn signals are totally optional here. You are only required to use your turn signal if you DON'T have a cell phone, beverage, or cigarette in your free hand. It goes more like this: 1: Change lanes with no warning. 2: When honked at by person you cut off, glance in the rear view mirror to see if they have a light bar. If no light bar, pretend you still don't see them. 3: Call insurance company to ensure your comprehensive coverage is paid up, because if I'm the one you cut off, I AM GOING TO FOLLOW YOU AND HAMMER THE WORD ***HOLE INTO YOUR DOOR WITH MY FIST. OrionAK 08-21-2005, 04:06 PM You made an error in your #2, boxster! After they determine that the honker doesn't have a light bar, then proceed to flip THEM off as if the entire thing was somehow THEIR fault. That seems to be par for course, rather than ignoring, in my experience.

Whoah, waitaminute......how can you flip someone off, hold the steering wheel (if you don't the SUV will lose control and roll over!), AND hold your cell phone?? I guess I should find a bad driver and ask them. I bet I can find some by Best buy. soldmyboxster 08-21-2005, 05:34 PM I sure hope no body cuts me off this winter... http://www.jordyb.com/photos/newtoy/newtoy002.jpg If they do, make them think they cut off THE SUN. 00Maddog 08-21-2005, 05:47 PM I sure hope no body cuts me off this winter... http://www.jordyb.com/photos/newtoy/newtoy002.jpg lmao I would love to see that. prob run em into the ditch. eatwrx 08-21-2005, 06:42 PM If I see you coming my way ....

I guess I should find a bad driver and ask them. I bet I can find some by Best buy. Who said anything about holding the steering wheel? Besides, they still have the hand with the cigarette for that if they DO hold it, the cell phone can still be held without the middle finger! :) cbr600f3 08-22-2005, 03:20 PM In D.C area I believe turn signals are a dealer option :lol: Getagrip 08-22-2005, 04:25 PM I'd like to think of words used to describe "turn siganls" or "turn indicators". When one uses them they are "signaling" or "indicating" your intensions of turning or changing lanes. This should be a warning of the driver in the other lane. This does not mean the other driver should speed up to close the gap when you signal you intensions (oooh I hate that!). Wes_FSTGDB 08-22-2005, 07:29 PM If they do, make them think they cut off THE SUN. lmao! this was my laugh for the day. Damn that was awesome :lol: Wes Mavrik 08-23-2005, 05:25 PM yeah seen lots of crasy stuff since I moved up here. wish I had a set of huge horns under the hood to make them crap their pants, spill their coffee, cancel their cel phone call and swallow their cig. Oh and I want a set of guns mounted to my car to ward off any gun totting prick who thinks bullets are the answer.

I would actually want a bazooka (not sure about spelling) to blow the tards out of my way that don't know how to drive!

Option 1: Buick horns from the wreckers for $1 each. Option 2: Hella Twin Supertones! I've had option one and just switched to option 2. Option 2 may not have the "Detroit Steel" sound but the 118db can come in handy :D -J Mavrik 08-24-2005, 09:00 PM Hella supertones it is... I got a gay little toyota mouse squeak from under my hood.
