A few months ago I was driving with my super crazy MIL in the passenger side and we were behind a guy who was not making a right turn even though his light was green. I gave him a polite "you're up" toot and he still didn't move. MY MIL leans over and lays on the horn giving it several seconds and a few accenting blasts. The guy looks up into his rearview mirror and gestures to what's in front of his car, which we cannot see.
Finally he turns and we can see that there were two cars blocking the intersection. Not his fault. We drive about a half mile and get to a traffic light and I pull up next to him, and turn to my MIL and ask her "You wanna say hi to your friend?" Glad she is banned, 12 years too late, if you ask me. back to humor.

If someone reaches over to touch the steering wheel when I'm driving, there damn well better have been an imminent collision avoided. Or they'll be missing a hand.
 You displayed considerable poise, F3.

It's a sure indicator that you are a geek when you start doing math on the numbers in a joke.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

On a somewhat related note, if everyone maintains a following distance of 2 seconds (and we'll assume that's from the front of one vehicle to the front of the next to eliminate variances in vehicle length), then 30 vehicles per minute per lane will pass a given point, regardless of vehicle speed.
Isn't that interesting? |

Why you gotta go break out the math on us, hlj? I was having such a good unproductive Friday, then you had to make me do math. :p
