Why do drivers run red lights?  Why do drivers go 50 in 25 MPH neighborhoods?  Why do nice people turn into jerks in a car?  Isn't the goal for everyone to arrive alive at their destination, not just ahead of another driver?  Why do drivers tailgate and harrass other drivers that observe speed limits?

THey do these thing because they are selfish and inconsideragte. The laws are in place for a reason. Breaking them does not signal the ned for their abolition.

Oh man that's annoying. You know they're doing it on purpose and could care less who's waiting for them. What I hate more is those slow walkers who don't speed up when the light turns red. It's like they're in slow motion and totally ignoring the world around them.\n \n It's the same with people backing out of a parking space. If they know you're waiting for them they take an extra minute. That's totally annoying and rude in my book. Get your butt moving if people are waiting for you. grrrr.

You are over generalizing. Some cops speed some don't, and either way it doesn't make their message any less valid. Another point I want to make is that, that same cop that you are complaining about won't hesitate to come to your house at three o'clock in the morning when you have an intruder and put his life on the line for you.

wouldn't they be white? the same as they always are. can a car even move at the speed of light?    OOHHH wait would you even see the light if you turned them on and you were running faster than them so you past them and they were behind you or something like that.

Well, it's not just short people. A lot of people don't have a way to take out their aggressions and one way to do that is to drive aggressively and like a moronic fool.

I completely agree.. and have wondered that myself.. I had a bad year last year with getting speeding tickets.. I went from having a perfect driving record to getting 3 speeding tickets.. two for going  under 10 mph over the speed limit.. one was for 6 mph over and one was for 8 mph and one I wasn't even speeding and claimed I was going 15 over the speed limit.. I took that one to court and of course lost, because traffic court apparently is a joke.. anyways.. so I see all these cops speeding down the road, I now go the speed limit or under.. no more 5 over and they cruise past me.. I think they actually get aggravated that I'm going the speed limit when they are behind me.. alot of the cops I see speeding are ones that live in a different county (my county), then where they work, so you know they aren't on a call, they are just going to work.. what really upset me one day was this motorcycle cop was speeding past everyone, passing people left and right, it looked like he was in an emergency situation, only further down the road for him to pull off on the side of the interstate and whip out a radar gun.. I was so aggravated I wrote the city police dept and of course got the run around.. about police officers being responsible for their own speed.. blah blah... so yeah I don't think it's fair.. I think they need to obey the laws just like everyone else.

If there were no truck drivers how would food get to the store? How would anything you buy anywhere get there? Truck driving is a hard job, you have to get a CDL license,hours on the road causes health problems, long hours, low pay,heavy lifting,and putting up with inconsiderate drivers to boot! And that's just the beginning of it...\nI appreciate truck drivers because I know how hard they work,how many hours they stay away from their families and they do it all so people can buy things!\nIf I see a trucker trying to come around a corner I make sure I stop so he has plenty of room which usually gets horns honking ... most of the time the trucker acknowledges you for it, so it's worth the honking.We should all be very considerate of our truckers.\nThey are a part of our everyday life more than people realize!

it has nothing to do with manners it has to do with a basic rule of safe driving, when you drive along someone and you need to swerve you have only one way to go.  When you are staggered with other cars and there is an obstacle or you slide on ice you have more room to maneuver.

Funny answers here...\n\nI thought speeding was illegal...lol\n\nNobody is comparing it to murder that I have heard, and no one is using a similar punishment, so that part of the issue really is stupid.\n\nSent them back or make them sign up, this is simple...

Perhaps they can't tell which direction the emergency vehicle is comming from? It is best to stop than to be a moving variable. \n\nI always pull to the right to make way for the emergency vehicles, and I will also use the left lane to make more room for police vehicles on the shoulder while they are ticketing someone. I do this also for cars on the shoulder who have hazzard lights on.\n\nI also will flash my brights to alert semi tractor trucks that their haul clears my front bumper if they are signaling to pass. and flash again if they are trying to merge into traffic. this really helps them take the guess work out of clearing the bumper.

On a stretch of road that ran straight for about 3.5 miles, I clocked a oncoming vehicle at 136mph. I had never had one that high and was wondering if the radar was not accurate. I reset it and it showed 147mph, to my luck another unit was behind me about 1.5 miles and was able too stop the vehicle. Needless to say no ticket issued, he was jail bound and his vehicle towed. Not had one that high since.

I'm with you on this one.  I think the way people act while driving is an indication of their true character.  They feel like they are free to act how they please because they are separated from everyone by some metal, glass and (nowadays) plastic.

If they raised the legal driving age to 30, then 30 year olds would be causing fatal crashes daily.  They're new to driving and still getting the hang of it.  Yes, some of it has to do with irresponsibility, but for the most part they aren't skilled enough to know how to manoever their way around sticky situations.  It takes time and practice to be really good at something, no matter what age a person is.

Probably because you don't know how to drive.  Cops don't pull you over for "no reason".  Quit running that stop sign.

i guess the thing that hacks me off the most is when people will break their neck running a stop sign or stop light to make sure they pull out in front of me.\n\nthen they drive 30 mph in a 55!\n\narrrrggghhhh

Because people have a love for speed! There is nothing like being at a track and have a line of cars whipping by you at 180+ MPH! (Depending on which track you might be at )... the bigger the track, the faster they go. And to me that is an awesome, awesome feeling! Also, to pick one guy to win the race... stick with him through thick and thin, not throwing him to the curb should he decide to change to a new team ( like the 18 to the 43 ), yep, thats right I am sticking with my driver... been with him since he was in the 22, then the 18, and now the 43... the fan appreciation is nascar is huge! How many times have you gone to a baseball game and got on the field to meet your favorite player? hmmmm... I can't count one time thats ever happened to me. I have met many, many drivers over the years... Including my man, Bobby Labonte. I just hope that as it continues to grow that part of meeting the drivers doesnt close down. We are devoted fans... pulling for one guy, one team, looking forward to every race weekend. Go 43!

Ok... obvious answer is... dont speed or run red lights. If the camera caught you, then you were doing something wrong. Fighting it is damn near impossible because they have photo evidence that you were breaking the law. Like you said.. you dont know if you were speeding or not- we all tend to drive faster than we should, and you were probably speeding. Those cameras dont randomly take pictures and try to bust you on something you didnt do... they actually have a rhyme and reason. Why should they have to post signs informing you that you are under survelliance? When you signed for your driver's license you agreed to follow all rules of the road. So therefore the police and the government have a right to make sure you are following through with your promise. There was most likely an article in the local paper when these cameras were incorporated into the system, and where they are located... that's about all the warning you are going to get. You should assume that at any point in time you are being watched... that makes me nervous but that is the way that it is. Every light you stop at has cameras, and most are recording license plate numbers. Even if they aren't equipped with the technology to send you a ticket for running a red light. Now that i have strayed from the question... you cant beat the photo radar unless you have solid proof of what you were doing or how fast you were going at that precise moment.. as that is impossible because you have no knowledge of when the camera is recording you, i would recommend being careful. Respect the laws in the area and you wont have the problem. As for malfunctions... machines aren't perfect and if they have recorded you at something you know is impossible (say you drive an old beater that couldn't go over 70 if your life depended on it and it records you going 90)then you are gonna have to prove how that is an impossiblitity. Other than that... good luck!!
