Wait, wait, wait Norwegians ride Harleys? I thought you guys were supposed to be intelligent and progressive?
pffft... not even close.
We even got some problems with biker gangs, selling drugs and the like.

So.. a bright blue rather large compared to the common car on Norwegian roads, Buick, with a exhaust leak, giving it quite the rumble in addition, was able to sneak up at you?
And they keep whining about car drivers never checking blind spots for bikes before changing lanes, here a whole gang of bikes, can't notice a large Buick in their own mirrors?
It's hard to play the high-and-mighty card on this one. I've gotten pretty good at asking distracted cagers "Please don't talk on your cell phone, "Please don't run stop signs, "Please don't play on your iPad." Folks don't really respond to yelling, but then when I'm run off the road or blatantly (or cluelessly) cut-off it is extremely difficult to be stoic. You really just want to drag them out of their car and go pulp-fiction on the motherfuckers. We dream of breaking off drivers mirrors, seldom is it actually justifiable. Beating a driver, eh, I don't know if I'd pitch in. I would certainly thrash the fuck out of his phone.
It would all be a little better if motorists understood they are in command of a 4,000 lb brick traveling at 100 ft/second and you probably don't know what the hell to do at the limit. It's all inflamed for me to because I saw this on Facebook tonight:
Still trying to think of more persuaive response than, "I hope you get hit by a bus you fucking selfish bitch."
But time is money, and what have to say is just that important.It's high time that people get back to just driving the damn car while driving the damn car!

If you can't talk and drive at the same time TAKE A FUCKING BUS!If a call is that important, and I'm sure many of them are, just pull over to make the call.
Sorry.
I intended the sarcasm to be self evident. However, I wonder if perhaps there isn't something to it. I'm noticing a trend in the places I've worked where employees must be reachable at all times and employers are taking full advantage of this. Woe to the employee who doesn't answer the phone when the boss demands assistance wiping his ass. I have nothing to back this up, and it's far less than a valid excuse, I just wonder.If a call is that important, and I'm sure many of them are, just pull over to make the call.

Not everyone is stuck in traffic to take a call...
So is a pretty girl in the next car but we don't ban pretty girlsI can, and I also recognize that it is a distraction.
So is a pretty girl bound, gagged and struggling in the trunk but we don't ban pretty girls
Fixed.
What? It can't just be me!
That and its one of those times when you aren't really doing anything. For instance I called my mom on the way from grocery store just to chat (I got handsfree so no bitching) because when I get home I'm gonna want to watch a movie/show or play a game or read something (like FinalGear), basically all things that would make a normal phone conversation either harder or impossible.I rarely will. Usually only when I'm on the freeway in low traffic. Sometimes I think people do it in the car because they are bored easily. I had an ex that would call me all the time for no reason when she was driving.
