Close Calls

Why would somebody so obese ride a motorcycle? Isn't that uncomfortable as fuck?

not that kind of bike
a racing bike might not be ideal for him though

Because it's a Harley. Those big ones are made for fat fucks.

>THIS is obese to a europoor

How fucking poor are you to not afford food?

For "speed tourists" maybe. The German taxpayers have to foot the bill for everything so they can't afford to buy anything but 70hp diesel shitboxes. Not to mention the police impound every modified car they come across even if you got TUV certification for everything as they'll insist it's illegal cause it's not OEM. It sucks to actually live there

American motorways are too curvy and hilly with shit visibility to make any kind of acceptable speed limit safe on top of being littered with left lane exits and parts where they turn into city streets and dual carriageways. They're also too tax starved to build their roads properly let alone maintain them or make any infrastructural changes necessary to make acceptable speeds safe. Vehicle maintenance neglect and unsafe modifications could never be taken out of the American mentality either.

You got very lucky, and I'm not talking about avoiding a felony charge. 110 mph is well beyond safe on a public road, dude. Haven't you noticed how many shitty, oblivious drivers out there who can barely handle lane changes at 60 mph? You need to cut that shit out. You're gonna kill somebody's grandma.

In Australia (Victoria), going more than 25km/h over the limit (or over 130km/h in a 110 zone, which is the highest limit in this shithole state) is an automatic license suspension and conviction recorded on your criminal record. Given I need to get a police check every year where I work, that's a bit of a concern.

what a nice man. better than the cunt who was waiting behind a massive sign on a deserted road at 530am on a sunday to clock me going 64 in a 45. fuck new york.

I got pulled over for some dumb shit once. Pulled into some weird notch in the highway where the cop car would not be in traffic. Lady cop was like why did you not stop immediately, so I was like I knew this was a just a touch up the road and it would be out of the highway for safe and she was like shit man thanks...next time dont be a dumb ass

this was genuinely a life changing moment for me, i was so tired when i was driving, way more tired then i had ever driven before. i didn’t even think twice of doing it though, and without even realizing it i almost crashed my shit. DONT fucking drive tired kids, i was extremely lucky

i guess this is what you’d call a “micro sleep” - they are totally fucking real and it’s fucking terrifying

>83 on an empty highway
I've had cruisers pass me when I was doing 85 in the middle of the night
I guess living in a state where most drivers are batshit crazy has its benefits

happened to me driving home from work. lost 2 seconds, and i almost rear ended someone.

Now i take a short nap in a parking lot in my car whenever i feel tired.

We also have Tempolimits Mehmet.

I live in AZ, the city highways speed limits are usually posted as 55 or 65, but normal cruising speed is 80.

I had been doing it for the better part of the year with no close calls prior. I am an exceedingly good driver with Jason Bourne levels of awareness. The hand of God caught me that day.

I had a full beard and so did he. I like to think that may have played a part in my luck.

Same. 90 in a 65.
300 buckaroos

felony is criminal, here in Canada theres the traffic safety act (speeding, street racing, stunting) then theres the ciminal act. criminal act conviction= permanent record, good luck working anywhere but mcdonalds, traffic act doesnt really matter unless you hit your demerit limit. 50kmh or over the speed limit here be it a officer pulling you over or photo radar is mandatory court date but still

only good thing is if youre not mouthy to the judges they usually will cut down the charges

If you're going fast enough/driving crazy enough they'll probably charge you with the federal criminal code offence of dangerous driving and haul your ass to jail. I know a guy who got charged with it for doing donuts in an parking lot with tons of people close by

lol something like this happened to me as well
Dropped my spaghetti when I saw who was tailgating when I stopped at some lights. Drove like a grandma until I turned left at an intersection and they went straight forward.

Long ago, I wanted to surprise my ex with day trip to an amusement park/zoo.

Wake up early, get everything ready. Let her sleep in a little more. She wakes up to breakfast in bed. After she's done eating, I tell her to get her shit, we're going somewhere fun today.

Drive over an hour to get to the place. Spend all day there. It's dark by the time we get back to the car. I'm feeling pretty tired.

We get going, she goes right to sleep. I'm starting to nod off a little. Hit the rumble strips. Swerve back onto the road.

She wakes up "baby, what's going on?"

"I'm really tired. Can you drive?"

She refuses... wtf. So I pull off the highway and into a gas station parking lot. Park the car and recline the seat.

"What are you doing?" She asks with an annoyed voice.

"I'm gonna take a quick nap. I'm really tired and I don't want to crash"

She has a fucking fit. Ruins the entire day. We had an hour to go, and I was already swerving off the road.

I took a 15 minute nap, Went home, and she just blew up. Saying that we were so late getting home that she missed her "shows". Doesn't care that even after the nap, I was still barely able to make it home.

Next morning, I packed up all of her shit, and kicked her out of my place.

That kind of mentality/personality is not wife material. Don't ever put up with it.

I mean we must have looked pretty suspicious at that time, probably thought we were dealers. Can't believe he just let us go. My friend is Hispanic so I wonder if he would have died without my white ass to save him.

for what purpose

In his mind it would slow us down without breaking hopefully bypassing cop. Did not work

Vic really is the worst state. But it has some amazing roads.

but why would that slow you down?
is your friend retarded?

Well he was doing 100 in a 65 then tried to tell the cop he was only doing 70 so yeah, probably.

His point is that any gear would slow the car down more than neutral, provided the throttle is closed

At least it's one of the safest places to drive in the world, at least in terms of avoiding fatalities. Can't comment on the rate of actual accidents.

What lancer do you have?
Cause mine can barely do 75mph

She wasn't on the rag was she? That shit is completely unreasonable.

Ok. You're not getting it. It's not your skill in question, it's theirs. If the oblivious, crappy drivers on the road outnumber you 10 to 1 it's only a matter of time before a perfect storm of retards converges. It won't matter how good you are when that happens. I wouldn't do more than 20 over. That's the threshold point where cops will all swoop down upon you for endangering the public.

>What does it have to do with cars?
It depends on the USA state whether or not driving over 100 MPH is a felony. In my state, 90MPH is a citation for reckless driving at least. But I don't remember seeing felony in any speeding laws for my state.

But if you have multiple speeding offenses on your record, it is possible that something over 100 might be charged as speeding. That's because in the USA, many cities, counties, and states have graduated penalty systems. The first criminal offense is misdemeanor. 2nd is gross misdemeanor. And if you do it 3 times in a specified range of time, it gets charged as felony.

>Next morning, I packed up all of her shit, and kicked her out of my place.
Wow, that doesn't work here if she pays even one cent or other compensation towards rent. Notice has to be given and the time period has to elapse.

Cops with many years under their belt do this. Cops in general are fuckwads but make sure you get an experienced guy, not some 30yo faggot trying to prove himself to the world

Fuck the OPP, honestly. Either raise the limits and enforce those, or enforce the current limits regularly. They only enforce the limits every other holiday weekend, or if they're having a bad month for quota.

Not like the highways aren't made for higher speeds. Wide lanes, divided highway, tons of signage, fences for animals, and so on. Nobody wants to drive like a suburban mother through 400km of forest.

The interchanges and many corners on the 400 series were only built to be taken at 100km/h or less. The limit was lowered to 100 during the fuel crisis and since it was never raised future construction was only built to accommodate that speed safely. Most vehicles (especially trucks) can't hit higher than 100 to merge on these retarded clover ramps and braking to 30km/h in a few nanometers of space isn't exactly comfortable even at 100 and it's the reason trucks roll over on them all the time. Speeding the road up would also cause it to wear out more quickly. Not to mention the asphalt sections are deafeningly loud at any speed let alone 130+. If the speed limits are gonna be raised the whole highway system has to be completely redesigned to ergonomicaly accommodate these speeds and not result in the 401 being Fury Road.

Also the quota thing is a lie perpetuated by ricers, niggers and other retarded degenerates who can never take any responsibility for their actions. I personally know multiple OPP officers and they'll all tell you the whole idea of quotas is ridiculous as well as illegal. I've blown by them doing 160+ in various conditions and haven't got stopped cause I'm driving a stock mom sedan and otherwise and not driving like a nigger.

>pulled over to a safe spot

Can you elaborate? Did you just pull over to the shoulder? Why was the spot you pulled over to so exceptionally safe that the officer let you go?

kek, chaotic good

You're supposed to slow down on the interchanges regardless. The straightaway sections can accommodate much higher speeds than 100km/h.

And speed doesn't hurt the roads anywhere near as much as those fucking transport trucks.

One time recently my buddy was pulled over after the cop watched him do an illegal U-turn, speeding, no Novice plate displayed, also waited for me and buddy to pull into known coke dealers house. Thats a story for another day

what kind of car do you drive?

it was when my car was in the shop, so my moms chevy equinox.

sorry im drunk i didnt even answer the question
a 2001 gs300

Same thing happened to me. Drifting asleep, eyes closing, driving out on SoCal Hwy at 6:00am, and then I realize I had drifted into the other lane without realizing it. I pulled over, took a nap for like twenty minutes, then kept on going with my heart fucking pounding.

Ah yes, the Chevy Equinox, notoriously popular with criminals.

kek

ahh yes, the awesome german yuropoor country, i hope you guys get another couple of thousand muslim migrants who will make good use of those roads

>I am an exceedingly good driver

No, you're not.

You mean suicide by cop?

>You're supposed to slow down on the interchanges regardless

Source? I've never heard of this

>The straightaway sections can accommodate much higher speeds than 100km/h

Once again, corners, deafening concrete, rapid elevation changes, wind, and a lot of other factors that other places in the world have properly combatted would need to happen to have it be up to code for higher limits

>And speed doesn't hurt the roads anywhere near as much as those fucking transport trucks

Ontario truckers need to be fucking gassed. The white ones openly and proudly admit to trying to cause as much damage to other cars as possible and trying to kill people who "get in their way" or make fools of themselves by not understanding why this or that neglected safety aspect of their car is important for not doing the former. Their Sikh replacements do the same shit except it's entirely unintentional because they can't speak English let alone have the slightest clue what they're doing. It doesn't help that the only trucking school teacher in my area is a cop baiting sandnigger who breeds this shit in his students.

I've said for the longest time that there needs to be a better rail system to get the trucks off the highways and only require them to bring the containers the remaining way to their destination. Load the train state side to stop out of province trucks from needing to come here and make it easier to regulate our own. Though Wynne thinks people apparently want a high speed passenger system in its place which is slower and more expensive than flying to and from Windsor and Toronto.

Had the same thing happen to me at night on I84, am white though op.

Still got the felony charge, but was not arrested. I had it dropped with a $1000 donation to victims services in CT. Was also going a bit slower than you,

My buddy insists that I wasn't arrested because I'm white, I honestly think it's because the first thing I asked to the officer when he approached my vehicles was if I was over far enough to him to feel safe. That and my record was squeaky clean.

I had two cruisers behind me, which in CT usually means someone's going to jail.

Stay safe guys.

My father had his license for 50 years before he got his first ticket. That was in Watkins Glen, NY. Doing 45 In a 30, with the flow of traffic, with out of state plates, on the road into the Track.

That's just New York for you.
