CPW: rules of the road

nnikki10 · April 2014

I have a big problem violating these rules of the road

MommyKristin88 · April 2014

SS - all of the above

nnikki10 · April 2014

All but I'm terrible at tailgating.

TrueBeliever925 · April 2014

I'm awful with speeding, although I haven't gotten a speeding ticket since I was 17. That and we don't have police in our town, just state troopers or the sheriff and they are never around. I hit 60-65 on the 50 mph road on the way to and from work most days.

Being a Masshole I have to admit that I'm an awful tailgater too. Whoops.

TrueBeliever925 oh Massholes...I'll forgive you. LOL.

I speed way too much - and not on purpose. I just don't understand why some 25 mph streets are 25! They feel like 40s!

I'm so freaking careful. I don't really do any of these things. My friends call me "grandma". I'm even worse since having the girls. I drive the speed limit, stop at signs, etc.

My big pet peeve is that people don't seem to understand how to function at a 4 way stop or use blinkers.

@TrueBeliever925 We Massholes can comfortably go 15 mph over the speed limit without fear of being pulled over. There is always someone else driving faster!

That's EXACTLY what it is!

I was going to call out Lindsey but I can't remember her #'s after her sn. 128 near Beverly/Peabody is BY FARRRR the worst highway I've EVER driven on. Even worse than 95 during rush hour. That shit is DANGEROUS! 2 lane highway with barely any room, speed limits 45 (I think) and everyone is going 70. I got hit by someone trying to cut in front of me that didn't use their blinker or consider the room between us. I hit the guardrail but recovered fine. They didn't pull over. It sucked.

Cosmic+Love... Maybe its because of my parents being original Massholes!

Oh, that is so scary! Glad that you were able to keep the car in control.

Luckily, I don't have to drive on any of the major highways, but DH does. I drive much slower now, but still a few miles above the speed limit. I get a lot of mean looks when people pass me, but I just throw up the peace sign.

Let me go on the record and say that I don't drive like a jerk with LO in the car.

Only when I'm by myself. Haha.

I don't understand how anyone can look at (let alone give a dirty look) whoever they are passing. I feel like a jerk if I pass or if I'm being passed. I almost crouch down and hide my face. Haha. I think I've given someone the finger once and it was when I was a teenager.

I speed, tailgate, honk but only cut you off if you're in the fast lane going too slow.

Life's too short to drive slow.

BlondieBia21 · April 2014

I'm probably the person you guys are tailgating, raging, speeding to get around, etc.. I used to speed BAD but I do not anymore. You guys would probably hate driving by me.

Cocolamo1 · April 2014

I am so paranoid especially with three kids in my car, I usually don't break any laws.

PB102012 · April 2014

Ahh! I read this wrong! I chose tailgaiting thinking it was my pet peeve for other drivers, ugh.... fail. The rule I break the most is speeding, but nothing toooo bad. I am a 70 mph in a 65 zone type of driver.

ludali · April 2014

And yes!! I'm a much different driver with DD in the car!

V&G101808 · April 2014

I should have picked SS because many apply. I speed, tailgate and have horrible road rage but I will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS use a blinker. It's there for a reason people- USE IT!!!! /rage

This!! I mostly speed. In fact, I will cut you off and give you a dirty look, possibly honk at you if you are going below the speed limit. But I always, always use my blinker and move over if I'm in the left lane and someone wants to go faster than me.
