Re: [MBZ] Road rules
come on fellas!!! Americans can not do that . think about some of the idiots who live in our country I saw a women putting on make up one jackass was reading the damn paper two broncos one pushing the other ...at 65.mph bumper to bumper one car that stopped FRIGGIN STOPPED in the middle of the hi wayso the driver & pass. could exchange seats one moron who's mattress blew off of his car !!! he stopped ..ran out on to the road to get it ...wrong move he war run over ...again and again oh yeah don't forget the simple tons who think " well this is a super car the speedo says 160 mph !!! "I have got them new rain tires" . "its German engineering!" my point here is Americans don't know how to drive cell phones are the most important thing here not driving I know what you want to do here it sounds like a utopia but we are idiots mike collins 1985 500 sec by the way all of this was on I 95 or I 76
Re: [MBZ] Road rules
The autobahn also has cameras along the entire road and have electronic signs that will open or close the shoulder lane based on conditions. If there is an accident and resulting traffic jam they will use the cameras to check the shoulder throughout the area (look for debris, broken down cars, etc) and only when the know its clear will they open the shoulder. It is not normally open for driving. Europe also enforces traffic laws besides speeding and "rolling" through stop signs.

Re: [MBZ] Road rules
That's an almost daily occurance. Someone in front is paying attention and the dimbulb behind him wonders why he's pulling over so he swings out to pass. I've seen that hundreds of times. I had a Semi with a flatbed trailer do that exact thing yesterday and then swing out into the oncoming lane to make his turn while we're stopping behind him with lights sirens and air horn blaring. When we got past, do you know what he was doing? Talking on his cell phone!

I saw the red&blues of a sheriff's patrol car through the windows of the pickup truck behind me. As I pulled over onto the shoulder, the deputy passed the pickup across the yellow line (well, he's an emergency vehicle) and the pickup crossed the yellow line to pass me, putting the cop on the left shoulder of the road. The cop must have really been in a hurry, because he didn't stop to beat the pickup driver to a bloody pulp and arrest him for assaulting an officer. (around here it's felonious resistance/assault on an officer if you hit his fist with your face) When driving in Eaton County, Michigan, it's best to keep your eyes wide open, the stupidity is near Massachusetts levels.

Re: [MBZ] Road rules
I shouldn't be concerned about getting to the accident in a timely manner? Why do they give me the lights and sirens then? Is everybody wrong when they say seconds count in medical emergencies?

I've never been a public safety worker, but I've got to agree with both of the folks below.

Re: [MBZ] Road rules
I care about it because those jackasses keep me from getting to my job. When they finally figure out that I'm going to keep my siren and air horn blowing in back of them, then they try feebly to get out of the way by cutting in front of some poor person who is waiting like they should. When I was new on the job I had a Captain who swore that on his last day he was going to drive, and run over the dimwits that did that. Now that I have that position, I'm thinking he was absolutely right. They should get rammed by the rig and left to rot. If you were hanging upside down trapped in your car because some jackass clipped you as he cut in front of you and you're busy bleeding to death waiting for me to get there, I'll bet you'd think different. Not that I have strong opinions on this subject or anything Ken In a message dated 9/28/2005 2:55:46 PM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: From: "Gabriel S." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] O/T Road Rules To: andrew strasfogel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Mercedes mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I honestly don't see why anyone would care if people are cruising in the shoulder...they are the ones risking the ticket...opening the shoulder in high traffic reduces traffic by 40%i saw it in the history channel on the show "modern marvels"the german highway patrol allows it on the autoban.
