Scoring Winger

That is something for the WRGMG thread for me. Around here apparently proper following distance is an invitation to change into my lane.

Pfft. Proper following distance. Two seconds may be necessary for the space cadets taht are ogling the scenery and daydreaming. People who are paying attention to the road and focused on driving don't need two seconds. Cars aren't four tonne hunks of steel anymore. Two seconds my ass.

In 1986 in Winnipeg the rule was 2 seconds.

Woo hoo! I was deathly afraid of failing the tests on the AT website. I was debating hard whether I should post my results here if I failed either. But fortunately, I didn't!
86.67% on the first test. 96.67% on the second test, only missing one question on the 2nd test (the one about GDL). Although it's not completely fair because the 2nd test had similar questions to the first heh.
And also I'm a transportation engineer, so if I failed, I'd probably have to quit my job :'(

I got a chuckle from the "if the solid white line is to your left " question. LoL
You would have to be of the age when drinking and driving stories were funny to get it.

This was a waste of a survey. All he would have to have done is ask anyone from B.C. what they thought of Alberta drivers.

I suspect there is more to this. BTW puddles will freeze @ +2.

I think I remember reading that at -2 it starts to thaw in Calgary due to our elevation.
I dont recall the source so I wont claim it as a fact.

I would like to see the survey results on what type of vehicle you drive in relation to ones score.
I think quite a few of the guys in pickups would fail.

It has everything to do with the ground temperature.

Since we're generalizing drivers... sorry to those this offends, but I've observed that the idiot / car ratio is very high with Volkswagen owners. I have no idea why, but I've learned to give VW's a wide berth over the years.

So if the person that shows up on the left, shows up first, who should they wait for ?
