If you could add one road rule to those we already have, what would it be?

    I just want one enforced. Those who are using the fast lane for a cruising lane and doing so that they slow up those who should be in the fast lane.

  • I think we'd all like that one enforced. I know a man who joints the fast lane and drives at the speed limit to stop people speeding. He's a nice little guy but so prissy. :(

    Wouldn't he be breaking the law in Australia by not keeping left and passing right?  I would think that's how it works in left side driving countries.

  • Exactly! I don't know if he's ever been booked for blocking the lane (he certainly didn't boast about it). He's a nice guy. Just prissy.

  • (I have a bumper sticker that reads)

    When approaching a 4-way stop ...
         the vehicle with the 
            LARGEST TIRES
     ... has the right of way!


              (But I'm a little prejudice)

  • Sounds a bit like the "sail has right of way over steam" but when you see some idiot sailing a small yacht across the bows of a super tanker, expecting that the skipper can just put his foot on the brake and wave him through, ya gotta wonder. :)

  • Sailboats are a pampered lot, but my bumper sticker is just a joke between drivers.

    DON'T TEXT WHILE DRIVING 

    Oh you say it is already a law?
    HAHA
    unfortunately most do not observe it.

  • I would certainly increase the penalties and add a mandatory suspension of licence. Such idiots shouldn't be in control of a vehicle.

  • Oh, yeah, Pearl.  In the hang gliding rules there one that says, "No pilot shall fly in such a manner that another pilot has to take evasive action." I always thought it would make a nice road rule, too.

    1. A stiffer fine/ticket for knuckleheads driving well under the speed limit in the "fast lane" on highways and interstates.
    2. When someone is caught texting while driving their license should be suspened for 90 days the first offense, and increase it 2 more times and make the third a felony like driving under the influence.
    3. More tickets for tailgaters.

  • Indeed! You'd get a lot of support pushing those through. I think they're everybody's pet hates.

    Since I can only add one law I would make it zero tolerance for rage.

    That we could tap the bumper of the idiot driving 50 mph in the fast lane on the freeway. 

    Get the BEEP out of MY way!!!

  • Maybe we could mount a rocket launcher on the bonnet and just blast them out of the way. They're clearly the least popular among people who answered this.
