Ah, there is where you are wrong. Here one can take note of the time,
location antics of a driver, licence plate and lay a complaint with the
police. They will then locate the driver and lay charges, for what was
observed and reported. So pay attention to the job at hand when you're
operating a vehicle, the same ability might be available to your neighbours.

As a professional driver with many miles under my wheels without an incident
of any kind. I have to say that I have seen a lot of stupidity by small
vehicle drivers that have caused a lot of death and destruction, just
because they were operating without due care and control of their charges.
What you have to say, doesn't amount to a very high pile of crap at all.

Re: Clutch slipping - looking for reputable shop in Richmond, VA
 

Okay... so we have a contributor who says he is a professional driver (a
credible claim - there is nothing rare about that) and another who admits to
speeding as a regular exercise, thinks 400K is a long driving record and
replies "Professional driver. That's funny man." Who is the more
credible?

I'm not a pro driver (although I have recently been putting 1000 hwy miles a
week on my company truck... northern Arizona is a pretty large service
area), but I certainly passed the million mile mark some time ago. Long
before that I decided speeding is a fool's game; increased risk of
unspeakable horror without tangible gain is not smart.

Every experienced driver has known at least one time he or she wished with
all of his or her heart to be going slower or that the brakes would stop
quicker. Why on earth would somebody deliberately throw away the opportunity
to make that come true?

Sure, maybe you're right, but it's not his place to judge me. Even if he
is a professional driver, I have many friends who are "professional"
drivers, with sponsors and the whole 9 yards. They don't judge me. If he
thinks I'm going to just up and slow down because he's a "pro" he can
eat a dick. And the comment about women drivers was uncalled for.
Anyways I'm out of this thread.

That's the truth, especially when being cut off by idiot drivers of small
vehicles.
