Sorry in advance for the rant, but I didn't want to start cluttering forum with a new thread, and thought this might be the best place to vent.
So I'm on my way up to the movie theater where I used to work cuz I'm supposed to go out with a couple buddies from up there after they close. On the way up, I go through an intersection that's known for being pretty bad, but I'm in the right lane, going straight, through another intersection where the right lane goes up a hill & the others turn left. Well, without a turn signal & in the middle of 1st intersection, this POS car starts pulling out in front of me to switch lanes. At the same time, I have a guy coming from the traffic on the right trying to merge into my lane, so I gotta hit the brakes. Well, guy on right stops & lets me by, guy on left decides he's gonna get back into his lane for 2 seconds, then cut me off to go up the hill. At the top of the hill, he still doesn't use a turn signal, doesn't stop at the sign, and turns into the theater parking lot....then bitches at me for not knowing how to drive.
Somebody here please remind me that it WAS the right thing to do to not go out to his car while he was in the movie and pull the stems outta his tires??

weeds, Some bikers carry ball peen hammers wedged on their rides, for such occasions.

I have an ASP baton mounted in a handy location. I works as well as a ball peen hammer and it's much small and easier to use. It's also easy to use "on the fly".

I also comes in handy if you need to "kneecap" a figure skater...

I don't hate bikers any more than I hate other ****head drivers. Some (not all) bikers just pull more dangerous ****stunts because they can fit their vehicle in tighter places. I can't do that with my vehicle Yeah, I get pi**ed off when I'm driving 10+ over the speed limit with no where else to go because there's a mile of vehicles in all lanes ahead of me, but one or more bikers start weaving between vehicles to pass and risk causing an accident just get another 500 yards ahead. For those type of bikers...if they wrecked and caught on fire, I would not stop to take a p*ss and put out the fire for $1,000 (I might for $100,000).

I think here it's legal to weave between vehicles as long as it's done in a safe manner.

But I could be wrong.
