Yes, buses do that a lot around here. The signal is a warning to get out of the way

Default I love it when someone sees a truck put its signal on, then gun it to beat the truck. They get all

pissed that the truck went anyway. I laugh every time.

Default Turn-signals, not looking, using cell phones -- all generally fits under the heading "carelessness".

Unfortunately this is the norm now in the USA. It is very, very different in Europe.

It's called inconsiderate-they know they're not using them and don't care.

Default It is more than that though....

The one person to be garanteed to be included in their accident is them. Somehow, they've lost track of the fact that inattentiveness could cost them their life.

I put it down to the slow speed limits and the marketing of cars to the public as being "safe".

Default Speaking of dumpy cars going 95, I had a Firechicken...

prob'ly a Formula or whatever go by me on the Dublin Grade last night. I guess he was doing 110 through traffic. It was 10:30pm, I had to be the only sober person driving. Why is it these ****'s get away with that stuff and I do it once and... nevermind.
Speaking of 110, Stage 3 makes 110 very, very easy. Like, "hmmm, floor it, shift, floor i- Oh, there. Heehee!"

Yes, a TOW missle system can be mounted to an S4. It's aquiring one that may be an issue.
