Hard no, as they say on Letterkenny.
There's no place for this here, take it to Polyass....Quote:

I'm fascinated by the American school bus system. Have you seen some of these people? One step removed from a meth treatment facility...and we hire them...to drive our children around...in a giant death machine and pay them dog-shit.Quote:

Compartmentalization protects the kids. And they don't go very fast. And are bright yellow with flashing lights.
Statistically school busses are safer than ambulances.
I know, but, you don't. Tell me the last time you heard about a stupid school bus incident in your local area.Quote:

Our local people follow every rule. Except this asshole. I just wrote a letter - got the plate number. This is war.
Repaving Donner Lake Rd at Donner Lake with one of two lanes closed. Big line of cars at the flagger. Cyclists pass the line of cars and get to the head of the line. When the pilot car comes and the line of cars starts moving the cyclists pull in in front of everyone and we get to follow them at 10MPH (pilot car is doing 25 and is quickly out of sight) for 2 miles. Which also makes the people waiting in the other direction wait longer as well. Is there some reason the cyclists can't wait in line like everyone else? They want to have their cake and eat it to--ride on the shoulder when it suits them, in the middle of the lane when it suits them. I guess they think they're special.
I'm a cyclist and I don't get this either. I wouldn't do that.

Saw that.
JHC, I hate rednecks.
I ride on Donner Pass Rd several times a week. I will go to the front of the line during controlled traffic, but only if there's room to ride next to the cars, not in front of them.Quote:

yeah that's ridiculous. was the road really narrow where they could get in a head on when traffic started coming the other way? I've heard that at some sites like that they'll ferry the biker to the other side in the pilot.Quote:

That won't help--since most of the time when I'm being impatient I don't have anywhere to be at any particular time. Retired, you know. That's the whole point of being retired.
