Here are some more for you:

Moron - The individual who runs a red light and almost t-bones you
because chatting on their cell phone is more important than
concentrating on driving.

Moron - The individual who crosses the center line because chatting on
their cell phone is more important than concentrating on driving.

Moron - The individual who runs off the road because chatting on their
cell phone is more important than concentrating on driving.

Moron - The individual who drives 15 miles an hour because chatting on
their cell phone is more important than concentrating on driving.

Moron - The individual who waits until you are near their
intersection, pulls out in front of you (failing to yield
right-of-way) even though no traffic is following you, and makes you
sit through a massive line of oncoming traffic because they have to
turn left at the next intersection.

Moron - The individual who crosses back and forth across multiple
lanes of traffic because they were too stupid to figure out their
route before they started their engine, instead relying on their
superior intellect to make the decision at the last possible moment,
causing a massive impact on other drivers in the area.

Super Moron - The idiot that thinks it's safe to pace the car in the
lane beside them.

Except they don't speed to save time. They do it because of that
little 3 inch sponge between their legs that the wife is always
laughing at. Doing 90 mph and terrorizing other drivers makes them
think they're big men.

But they do save a few seconds over a driver who obeys the speed limit.
Maybe as much as one minute.

Maybe if they can get frisky with the wife (despite her misgivings)
they'll have something to do with the 30seconds-1minute they saved by
speeding.

Actually it can save much more than that; I once drove from the coast
of New Hampshire to the upstate of South Carolina in 12 hours, beating
my closest family member's record of 18 hours.

Nah, I've had a gal mount me while I was driving; that was a *severe*
distraction, and made driving *extremely* difficult. I would have
preferred that she wait the extra few minutes until we got somewhere
where I could have turned the car off.

Ah, I almost forgot a few others in the "moron" category.....

Those who don't understand the proper function of the lever extending
from the left side of the steering column.

Those who don't understand the proper manner to negotiate multi-way
stops.

Those who don't understand the significance of "right on red."

Those who don't understand the significance of an emergency vehicle
(ambulance or fire truck) approaching from the rear with their sirens
blaring and lights flashing.

Another favorite is those super-geniuses who drive around with their
fart-muffler equipped rolling boom-boxes, who's stereos emit enough
bass to rattle your car. Fortunately these idiots get to pay the price
in the long run.

Back when I lived in Boston, on Rt. 9 in Natick (or Wellesley? it's been
at least 10 years now) some woman on the sidewalk waiting for the light
to change caused a three-car mini-pileup when the wind blew up her dress
and it turned out she forgot to wear panties that day. I missed joining
the fun by mere inches- and I'll admit I was gawking too.

I think it conveys the level of stress you see that type of
driver exhibit on the road better that the more passive
"two hander", that's why I like it.

Well, anyone maintaining a 11 and 1 o'clock "white-knuckle" grip on the
steering wheel will have less control than one steering with one hand.
I typically hold the steering wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock and shuffle hand
position when needed.

I usually have a fairly loose 9&3 grip (my steering wheel has an excellent
spot to grip for this). Except when I'm on an empty freeway in excellent
conditions with no one around, in which case it tends to slip to 7&4.

BTW 9&3 is recommended over the traditionally taught 10&2 because it allows
a larger field of motion for an emergency turn, better control and arms
aren't in front of the in-wheel explosive (air bag)

More like 10 and 2 for me. I don't get the objection to two-handed
driving. That is what is taught in driving schools and at least it
prevents the driver from using his cell-phone, drinking coffee
(guilty), etc. Pretty minor item on the list of things I care about.
The point about 'white knucklers' is valid tho.

... ummm, no. That only occurs when you *cross* the wheel with an
arm, or put your arm between the bag and your face - like most
'one-handers' or 'one-wristers' do most of the time. A shuffle
steerer (like me) will almost never see that situation, whether
starting from 10 & 2 or 9 & 3. Of course, in *my* favorite car, it
*never* happens. The '88 535is didn't have those damned pyrotechnic
things in it.

And just what 'problem' would that be?? Is every two handed driver
you see white knuckling it?? In my experience (which I'll bet is a
lot longer and a hell of a lot more miles than yours) very few are
white knucklers and the vast majority of drivers I see are two-handed.
Again, educate the driver training people, they obviously haven't had
the benefit of your vast knowledge.

>And just what 'problem' would that be?

For the *umpteenth* time (I guess you're just a slow learner)
two-fisters are the ones on the road who:

- are moving more slowly than prevailing traffic
- keeping ridiculously high car-spacing distances
- braking on the damn highway for no good reason
- merging onto highways at 40 MPH and the like
- taking all damn day to make lane changes
- and generally fscking up traffic all around them

I haven't seen a damn two-fister yet who doesn't do at least two

Well, I guess I will jusst have to take your word that everyone doing
that is both
a. Driving two handed
b. White-knuckling it.

You are delusional if you think either one is true.

That those things happen is, unfortunately, all to true and common.
It isn't because of their hand(s) position on the steering wheel tho.

Let me guess- you're not an engineer nor in a scientific field, are you?

I said that PEOPLE WHO TWO-FIST drive like I mentioned. Doesn't mean that
everybody who drives like that two-fists. Please *try* and keep up- you're
now the ONLY person who just doesn't get it.

>b. White-knuckling it.

Find the post where I said that. S'matterafact, since so many of the
two-fisters here in SoCal are the damn slow-assed Mexicans, it's not
even a consideration.

Face it, two-fisting is the position of choice of women, old geezers,
Mexicans and Asians. If you feel your driving abilities are lacking
enough that this is the group you align with, hey- that's on you.

Just stay out of the way of *competent* drivers, OK?

The resolution is much better than I expected :). I've actually done
something like that a few times, but it was right after the mother
delivered the baby ;)

Anyone who doesn't think Mexicans and Asians don't drive under
the prevailing limit is too stupid to drive.

Want to dispute the other facts of my post or do you concede that, too?

I am really interested in -debating- your belief that driving
two-handed is not a good thing. Just what do you think is the problem
with it?? I have asked that before but you have not even come close to
answering. Note that saying the two-handers are bad drivers is -not-
debating. Until I see an actual answer to that question, I will not
reply further.

<snicker> No, the highest speed I've ever had a ticket for was 86 in a
70. My brother, OTOH, actually got a ticket for 103 in a 70 several
years ago.

I JUST POSTED why anyone with a clue can see that two-fisters can't
drive for shit.

Like I said, either you're too stupid to see what's obvious, or
you're part of the two-fister brigade. Look out your car windows-
it's *obvious*.

Okayh, one more reply. I -really- want to know what you think the
physical actions are that cause two handers (all of them according to
you) to be bad drivers? Try (I know it is hard for you), just try to
give a coherent answer.

When learning to ride a bike, they put you on training wheels and
someone props you up. Once you learn how to do it properly, you
lose the training wheels and the person holding you up- you've
become comfortable with the bike and don't need things that new,
incompetent bike riders do.

When you learn how to drive, they start you off in that two-fisted
position. But as you get better at it, you realize that two-fisting
is an unrealistic position to drive in (ever seen a two-fister try
and make a wide turn? It's comical) and just like your training
wheels, you adopt a better driving stance once driving isn't the
scary, new experience it was when you started, if your driving
evolves.

Two-fisters are incompetent boobs that never lost the need for
"training wheels". *Look around*- if you can- (I get the impression
that just keeping the car on the road is taxing enough for you)
and see who's doing all the two-fisting: like I said, around here
it's women, geezers, Mexicans and Asians- the most incompetent and
slow drivers on the roads, and their actions clog up the roads for
everyone else.

>(all of them according to you)

If there's a competent two-fister out there, I've never seen one
in 25 years of driving in 35 states.

Ah, finally a real answer to the question. I see you - are -
delusional if you believe that batch of codswallop. Maybe you should
take your... gasp...wheeze...whooee...sorry, had to regain my breath
there..vast experience over to -any- race track and give some advice
to the drivers.

I did a little experiment the past two days both in my wife's taurus
and in my F150. Amazing, following a car it is almost impossible to
see the hand position and for oncoming traffic the only ones you can
spot are those with hands at about 10:30/1:30 or higher. Gee, I
wonder what the other 95% are doing.

Here is a revolutionary idea: why don't you pay attention to your
driving rather than trying to see how others are holding the wheel?

Try PASSING them- *if* you can. (Damn, you're a stupid, stupid asshole!)

I'm not as fucking stupid and brain-dead as you; taking a quick look
to see how people I have to pass because they *are* as fucking stupid
and brain-dead as you doesn't take all *my* available cycles and I
am not a hazard on the road (like- in case you're not clear on my
position here- someone fucking stupid and brain dead as you would.)
