How is the amount of time that I spend on the road relevant to you driving in the emergency lane?
How is the amount of time that I spend on the road relevant to you driving in the emergency lane?
its not, it is a simple question, how many hours in a day do you spend on the road, especially peak hours.
This should be interesting.....
The question has no relevance to the issue at hand. My driving habits are not significant to your feeling justified in breaking the law.
Just to give you an idea, i spend 2 hours in the traffic in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon, thats 4 hours of my day, i agree it doesnt give me the right to break the law, but unfortunatley as i get older and silly, so i am learning to go with flow instead of being the person who sits in the traffic for an extra hour cuising all those who flow with the traffic.
It is only for a couple of months then the interchange will be open to springfield and the kwamashu interchange will be ready, then i can stick to just keeping right and passing left within the speed limit of course.
Another question for you, which do you think is more dangerous, driving in the yellow lane or the potholes on the road?
Paper work is done for today, going for an eye test then fishing the rest of the day, enjoy, chat later.
So you're saying its a case of 'monkey see, monkey do'
Now you gone from calling silly to a monkey, what next? Lucky i am not a sensitive person.
By the way i was watching the people leaving the dam yesterday afternoon, some of them could hardly walk they had so much to drink, to make it worse some of them loading kids into the vehicles others girl friends and wives and driving home. I would be safer driving in the yellow lane going home than in any other lanes with these inconsiderate people on the road. 1 accident on the way to the dam and 2 accidents on the way home, none of them in the yellow lane, mmm.
You cannot justify breaking one one by saying that other break laws that are more serious than the laws that you break. Each law stands on its own. When people drink and drive they break the law. When you drive in the yellow line you break the law.
Strange as it may sound, when people do 60 in the right hand lane they don't break the law.
The tactic of trying to offset the little evil that you do against a greater evil that another does simply doesn't work on me because the reasoning is flawed.
Agreed, you win.
It actually is an offense to drive at 60Km an hour on a 120Km highway. The minimum speed indicated by a blue sign is usually 80Km an hour.
It is also common courtesy to not impede other road users from passing you at a higher speed than is lawful on the highway. After all you have no idea for their reason for doing so.
Fine for hogging lane
