re: Do you drive aggressively / weave in and out of traffic etc? Do you think it saves time?

I drive aggressively when people are being slow as hell... as in going under the speed limit. It's really not about saving time for me..but behind behind someone going that slow makes my blood boil.

Uhh the left lane is for passing. If I'm going the speed limit and there's slow cars in the right lane then yeah, I'll be in the left lane. The problem is when those slow cars are now in the left lane and refuse to move over. Am i not justified to pass them on the right then move back over


What if someone is going 45 in a 40 through town where there are left hand turns every quarter mile or so? You should not automatically expect that person to get over when there is a good chance they will be turning left shortly.

Except you aren't getting anything done faster. You're simply irrational.

That's factually incorrect, but the length of the commute dictates how much time you're saving.

I can tell without a shadow of a doubt that you failed 8th grade algebra.

Well, cruising in the left lane isn't legal for a reason, so they aren't exactly wrong.

Worst argument ever, because speeding g and reckless driving are also illegal.

No, I am not advocating left lane cruising.

You're the guy that says driving faster saves no time, when it most certainly does. It may not be enough to be worth it, but it does. Maybe you need a remedial class.

I guess this EE sitting on my wall is fake too.

Abstract Algebra was a pretty hard course though. Made a B .

So how does Algebra factor into the delta of one's driving habits to their actual time on task?

And why aren't they legal? Think it might have anything to do with safety?


Read my response to you again, and then realize that you just agreed with me while trying to say I made a bad argument

We got this thread out of the way early today.

It must be exhausting for the OT to be this stupid this early.

Dude, to be fair, you have been embarrassingly wrong on math related issues on the OT in the recent past...

There's actually a sweet spot and most modern cars can keep the RPMs down at higher speeds. No need for higher RPM's means more gas to go around!

Well, that's just it! I better quit my job that relies on calculating carrier frequencies and what not because someone on the OT told me I'm bad at math, due to 2 math problems.

My life is over. Woe is me.
