    What do you expect when you live in Tokyo and come from Texas with a stint in Hawaii. All places full of shit drivers :nod: Come to Kita Kyushu to see more asshats on the road including cyclists. Yamaguchi isn't that bad mind you.

    Most stupid driver I have ever seen was this old lady drove out of an old church parking lot then drove down the middle of a 2 lane road it looked like a pace car leading nascars onto the track. So many pissed drivers and I was laughing my ass off I should have video taped it .

    Here in the uk some people dont care to signal where there going.

    And lanedrifting is a big probleam and impatient drivers too.

    I allmost got killed on a zebra crossing about 4 times in one week.

    Not an over statement whatsoever. When the school run is on they try it on when they're stuck behind a school bus, impatient bastards would rather risk potentially a bus full of kids and other's lives rather than wait a few minute.

    This is a standard in the US. Also funny to note, is that despite how little people actually use their signals, cops seem to get special crown victorias with the turn signal function removed! ;-)

    I think that's a international standard nowadays, especially with BMW drivers :shrug:

    The new Fad here is going straight in a turning lane, this happens at least twice a week with me, its times like these that I actually wish I had a truck with bullbars on it,to just drive into those p****s.

    Lost count of the amount of times that i've seen cars fail to signal and quite a few times i've almost been hit by them because of this.

    Everyone that crashes a car is an idiot. Apparently.

    Tokyoites unfortunately drive like they walk -- w/ their heads up their asses (or at least staring at their toes). Me and a friend were talking about the upside of cycling in this city, and it's huge. But then he adds on, "there is the fact that you can die on any given day" which is pretty true.

    Now that there's an influx of cyclists due to the Earthquake, they're making the bicycle laws stricter apparently and doing nothing to get people to drive normally.

    Still not as bad as Hawaii though.

    Well, the way I see it, if they can afford those cars in the first place, they can most likely afford to have them replaced. xD

    Tell me about it. It's even worse when it's raining. Bloody umbrella stems in your face every step you take.

    Yeah, I saw that on the news. I honestly feel that many bikers deserve to be ran over. A lot of the idiots just ride right in front of you as if they are some untouchable God. Pricks! same goes for shitty drivers. If you are on the road no matter what you are driving / riding you need to look out and care for other users. this includes dumb fucks who drive at a slow arse speed in both lanes stopping others from getting to work on time. They're probably thinking "I'm a safety driver because I'm driving under the speed limit" No you're F**king not! You're a pain in the arse causing the mile long tale back of cars from getting to their destination.

    This makes me wonder how many cars could be made out of the scraps. It's such an odd coincidence that so many of them look exactly the same.

    They've probably been stared in the eye by motorists and pedestrians alike, and completely ignored countless times. I assume no car is not only not going to yield to me when they should, is probably going to get in my fucking way. So... I step on a few toes most days.

    I would have no problem with being stricter on cyclists but that is based on the fact that cyclists are treated like cars. Right now, they are not. They are in a class of their own.
