That’s not what I’m asking man. I’m talking about people going full speed into the oncoming lane, instead of slowing down a tiny bit for one or two cars to pass and waiting till it’s clear. Just assuming that oncoming traffic will slow down, so you don’t have to slow down at all, when it’s your lane that’s blocked.

Everywhere and anywhere, my friend :)

Yes. Thank you. If it’s heavy traffic moving slowly, or there’s plenty of room then I have no problem, we can work together. I’m talking about when I’m doing 45, with nobody behind me, and the other person is suddenly head on with me going 45 also, instead of just slowing down a tiny bit and waiting till I’m clear.

I learned to drive in NYC too. Street lines are a suggestion, but the black Lincoln Town Car in the opposite lane is a rule. And that guy doesn’t care. NYC driving is wild, but people usually drive with a little purpose, if that makes sense.

Very true. You’d think you’d use a little planning when throwing your car and whole body into oncoming traffic though. Oh well.

I expect people to follow common sense traffic rules and wait until the oncoming lane is clear enough to drive around the stopped vehicle. I do it, every single time. I’m not talking about a traffic jam, I’m talking about people going 45 into the oncoming lane also doing 45, instead of waiting 5 seconds.

I’m sure that works all the time, right up until it doesn’t.

I learned to drive in NYC, and have seen some incredibly hostile and reckless driving, but there’s something so consistently senseless about this move.

It’s the Acuras that are the real menace!
