My parents managed, I'm sure you could to. Its better to take the extra 10 seconds and load them both on the passenger side. I thought you had a van so whats the issue?
Wow dude you have an awesome memory. The van is my wife's and you can load them in from one side with that. I have a 300c and it's super hard and frustrating to load them in from one side of the car. Even if you do, you still have to buckle the one in behind the driver seat from the driver side. I can't wait until they're out of car seats.

I'd have no problems riding shotgun with 4x4. He obviously gives a damn about the state of drivers on the road today. His posts remind me why I moved to a parasite community.

When I'm following someone, how I can tell if the guy in front of me is a bad driver or not is if they are constantly tapping the brakes. I find cabbies to be the worst at doing this. Yesterday, I was following this cab, and his brake lights were like a flashing light show. *tap* go *tap* go *tap* tap* go, etc.
I understand during rush hour sometimes its unavoidable if the guy in front of you is going at sporadic speeds, but some of these guys do it when there's clearly enough space in front of them. It's like they can't judge speed and distance properly. Its the same when people stop like a car length behind at an intersection, and then slowly inch their way up to the stop line. WTH is wrong with these people? No depth perception?
Maybe they're trying to tell you to stop tailgating them.

Only the one thing on the traffic pole. I'm not trying to say I wasn't stupid when I went the wrong way, but to say there are wrong way signs facing the streets isn't always right.

How many signs do you want lol?
The one on the pole means the flow of traffic is going right and you can't turn left.
Those symbols you learn when studying for your learners.

I missed the sign. My fault. I thought I was on 19th st but I was on 18th st. My additional excuse is that I was doing a delivery that was in the back alley. I just made a mistake and turned too soon. Turned too soon as I was looking for the building. There was only one car coming towards me and he was on the left hand side of the street. On my left.
Hey, I agree with him on a few points.
People should look before they open their doors, and driving in the winter does take a lot of extra attention.
However, I just thought it ironic that (and this doesn't just apply to him) for the most part the guys with the the most stories about near misses, are usually the ones who also claim to be great drivers, and will argue to the death that things they do (like constantly speeding) are actually safer than what others do.
I've said it a million times in other threads, I'm usually over the speed limit too, but I don't delude myself by saying it's safer. I'm cool with just saying I speed cause it gets me somewhere faster.
But to mee it seems like this driving attitude/results reminds me of a lot of other things in life.
Usually at work the guy complaining about how everyone else is an idiot, is actually the guy who sucks the most at his job.
Usually the guy who complains the most about crappy service and stupid servers, is actually just an impatient jerk.
I wonder what that says about the guys who claim to be the best drivers, but seem to have way more close calls than the rest of us?
Cue the George Carlin, "Isn't a near miss actually a hit?"
Man I honestly just love this thread (and the tags are hilarious).
I've never seen a group of people pound their chest so passionately over driving like the group here on CP. It's just not something that seems to come up often in my everyday conversations I guess. The in depth analysis over driving and skill levels and whatever is truly hilarious to me. Carry on.

Perhaps you should check out the beyond.ca forums.
I do 200 km of highway driving a day just to get to work and back. I love the ######s that pull out onto the highway in front of you causing you to slam on your breaks to avoid crashing into them at 100 kph. I usually get one of these frackers everyday but the other day as it was snowing and icy I had THREE idiots do this.
I can't stand how ignorant people are about road safety and other drivers on the road. It's like as soon as they turn onto the highway the world now revolves around them. These morons have no concept of their actions and how it makes everyone behind the them either has to slam on their breaks or slow down to 60 kph for 2 km until the ###### hits cruising speed.
People, if you pull out onto the highway and the person behind you has to apply their breaks you have made an unsafe turn onto the highway and you should punch yourself in the batteries.

Driving - Yield to pedestrians when they have the right of way. Exercise your right of way in a situation it doesn't mean running over a pedestrian
Pedestrians - Exercise your right of way, but look out too. Easy to not get hit by a car if you pay a bit of attention. Jaywalk if you please, but look first. If you jaywalk, no motorist should have to reduce their speed even by the slightest amount.
Passenger - Shut up and enjoy being in the presence of the epic driver that is me.

Keep em comin, I don't care. Some funny stuff actually.
I was just making relative comparisons. I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to experience some driving and riding clinics that 99% of people will never get a chance to do, by default of where I have worked, and it was certainly an eye opener. Being in a Porsche GT3, flat out, with a professional driver on an international race track certainly changes your perspective on driving "skill". There isn't a scary ride scarier than what those guys are capable of doing with a performance car.
The neat thing is, when you go to combined events put on my a manufacturer, where the drivers give you track and street demo's, These guys are some of the most mundane obedient drivers the second they hit a public roadway.
I don't for a second think I am the worlds greatest driver, but I certainly have learned a ton of performance driving techniques that most people would never learn, simply by being in the right place at the right time and investing a few bucks. At one point in time motor sports was one of my first loves, so much so I saved for a year to spend 5 days at the Skip Barber open wheel clinic. Make fun of me all you want, but the stuff you learn there, isn't the stuff they teach you at the AMA, and a ton of it can carry over to improve your everyday driving skills.
the worst pedestrians are the ones that walk on the side of the road while playing on there frickin cell phones.had one person walk in the side of my truck while waiting at a stop sign.

Yesterday I was stopped at a red light, and this pedestophile on a cell phone crosses and gets across one lane and is about to cross in front of my lane when the light goes green. I guess I coulda waited for him, but I'm a busy guy. I missed him by a good three feet anyway.
Seriously, people can't even walk and use a cell phone, yet there's still a large contingent that think you should be able to operate vehicles that you can kill someone with while yapping away. Jesus.
That sounds like an unusual high amount of having to slam your brakes, there is no other option than to conclude that you are the problem in these cases. I'm not saying you are the problem per se, but I feel you are the problem.
I would agree, maybe he should turn his headlights on ?
Driving much faster than the flow and not accommodating merging traffic ?
