:lol: I was watching TMZ last night and they had some asian on there strutting and talking about "making it rain" with debit cards saying "I'm asian I've got GREAT CREDIT...my FICA score is NUTS" I couldn't help but think "Well at least he's got insurance" after you said Asian :lol: :rockwoot: Here, he'd be "southern america's" without a license, insurance, registration, current tags, and the officer would let him go and tell you that you're fucked and hope you have uninsured motorist coverage |

QUOTE] Hmm? Blizzard of 1991 I worked graveyard 25 miles away from home. I didn't miss a day of work nor was I late. My ride? 1983 920 Virago. I beeped the horn and waved at the 4X4's digging themselves out of the ditches! If I had the knobbies on the KLR instead of the street tires, I would be riding now! Although, I prefer the Virago for snow duty. Lower center of gravity. Easier to slide around with less severe consequences. |

A few years ago the Province closed down something like 11 driving schools for effectively selling driver's licenses. If I remember correctly 7 of them were in Brampton. That's out of the whole Province. Then there's this little tidbit from today's news: http://www.thestar.com/news/investig...ke_a_buck.html My supplementary health insurance company sent out a news letter, last year, detailing 8 local physiotherapy clinics that they would not reimburse for, because they were linked to automotive insurance scams. Five were in Brampton. Not a Western European name running a single one of them. in fact I could narrow most of them down to one single country of origin; Sri Lanka. This little piece ties into that too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tubPwVSx0_o "Ragu", as he's come to be known, listed multiple residences. A couple were in Brampton. |
Wow, Just like that he went right over...So without your dash cam I assume he claims you sideswiped him and he walks away with a decent insurance payment.

When I'm in Atlanta, I'm always fascinated by the amount of cars driving around on bald tires.
New cars, old cars, expensive cars, it makes no difference. Down to the steel belt seems to be the general guideline for tire usage down there. In Atlanta, it appeared that there was an unwritten rule that whenever a car is aquired, the stock wheels are to be discarded and replaced with aftermarket wheels. Those wheels are to be then shod with low profile summer tires and then those tires are shaved down. My guess is that the owner wasn't happy with the lowness of the profile and wanted it even lower. That or "it just like racing slicks". All driven by people who embrace tailgaiting, and drive like assholes. I can only imaging what its like when you toss in snow and ice. As for ice and snow, I live in a hilly neighborhood filled with dead ends that the town rarely visits. My house is at the top of a hill with a steep driveway on a dead end that rarely gets plowed and we never get salt. At most, its a local guy in a pickup tossing some sand down. As long as you keep your distance and travel at a safe speed, its all shits and giggles for me. My fwd drive car with all seasons gets me where I have to go. I driving a manual with no ABS, no traction control, no stability control. |

Here are a few more for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXydk4FLrvo There are two collisions in this one. One of them is me getting tapped from behind while the other is a van driver who I believe was on his cell phone, plowing into the vehicle in front of him pretty quickly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kHzrWIL0bo Quote:

It's the same thing I saw this week. People with mini vans, small cars, small trucks taking in conditions that they weren't use to in stride and slowing down to compensate for the bad conditions they had no experience in handling. Then you got the morons with their super awesome 4WD SUVs ready to just go hauling ass through the ice and making sure everyone gets the fuck out of their way only to wind up sliding into a ditch. I stuck on the interstate for an hour in Chattanooga after leaving work early because they didn't treat the interstate and by the time they decided to do something, no one could make it up the ridge cut without getting stuck. Plows finally came through and shut it down so they could plow lanes up it. Most everyone was handling it well and giving plenty of room in the bad conditions we don't normally see in this area. This time has a lot to do with complete lack of preparation. I had no idea it was even suppose to snow that day and conditions were fine by the time most of us went to work, no one had any idea it would actually stick to the roads and get to a level of it actually being packed snow on the interstate. The meterologists missed it completely. By the time they realized this, it was too late to stop the chaos that ensued. |
