Now, I have nothing against the scooters or moped or whatever myself, and I try to drive safely around them. However, many times I find one of them, or, more in my area, a bicycle, in front of me, in a traffic lane, going much slower than the speed limit. Now, if I were traveling only ten miles per hour less than the speed limit in the lane in my van (and usually ten miles per hour less than the speed limit would be faster than what the scooter/moped/bike is going), I would have to have my blinkers on and in the slow lane or I would be considered a hazard and ticketed. I think that if the scooter, moped, or bicycle can not keep to a speed that fits the road they are traveling on, they should be off on the shoulder, or at least over near the edge of the slowest lane, for their safety as well as my own!
In this case, with no minimum posted the cops cannot do anything.

In our state, they can. There's laws on the books about upholding traffic.

I never said the cops could do anything, but if you can't Dodge it, then you got no choice but to Ram it..

Mopeds... I dont care if you get a gajillion miles to the gallon, or that you are doing your part to save the Earth...
just get the F*** outta my way, before my gas hog, smog producing Hemi makes you a part of the Earth.
why must a vehicle with a top speed of 30 MPH ride down the center lane with a long line of traffic behind it during rush hour? I must admit I was feeling some road rage when I put my front bumper on his rear wheel.. but somehow it was satisfying to see the look of terror in his mirrors..
you gotta be out of your friggin' mind to drive a moped around in traffic
to begin with....you'll ALWAYS be on the
losing side of an accident.
Yo Soup.....did you smell his fear? heh heh
You prolly made him shit a brick. LMAO
Ah well, hopefully it'll get too cold for him to ride it soon.
I mean, how hardcore can a MOPED rider be?

Okay
I'm the news editor of a Mortal Kombat message board. Meaning, it's MY JOB to post news as it's released. Every time the board's Administrator finds something before I do, he just HAS to post it first. He's the one who GAVE me the job to begin with.
Like just a few moments ago, I was posting a new press release. The Administrator HAD to know I was on the board and therefore should have known I was posting the news HE was also posting. He deleted his thread, but still, I was a little mad about it.
LET ME DO MY JOB, YA FREAKIN' PRICK!
