angliagt Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Things That Really Irritate Me I drive about 30 miles (round trip) almost every day.I see some things that tick me off - Small SUV's that have the turn signals on the lower rear bumper Newer Ford trucks with that have all four headlights on all the time Bright low beam LED headlights Drivers who always have their driving lights on (even in the daytime) Bicycle racks that cover up the rear license plate People (usually wealthy) that register their vehicles out-of-state, to avoid paying taxes (especially Montana) Drivers who tailgate (especially when there's another lane open) Drivers who speed through residential neighborhoods Drivers who have sports cars,etc.,but don't know how to drive them properly Drivers who stop/don't speed up while merging onto a highway/freeway 4 Quote Link to comment

Reflector lamps with LED or HID conversions are totally WRONG Drivers who always have their driving lights on (even in the daytime)... All newer cars have this so I always run with mine on for the simple reason that people will turn out in front of you because they looked and didn't see any headlights so they think nothing coming. Applies to pedestrians also. Be as visible as you can Bicycle racks that cover up the rear license plate... Don't care, I don't need to see it. Police can take care of this People (usually wealthy) that register their vehicles out-of-state, to avoid paying taxes (especially Montana)... If legal why are you not doing this? Drivers who tailgate (especially when there's another lane open)... slow down till they pass Drivers who speed through residential neighborhoods... agree Drivers who have sports cars,etc.,but don't know how to drive them properly... agree Drivers who stop/don't speed up while merging onto a highway/freeway... agree so rear end them 2 Quote Link to comment

Same reason rich people often maintain a residence in Texas, even if they don't live here full time. Lets them not pay state income taxes. Edited August 1, 2022 by datsunfreak Quote Link to comment
angliagt Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 I disagree - the majority of them don't have residences out of state, just avoiding paying in state taxes. When I lived in California,I always registered my vehicles there.The only time I didn't is when I bought new vehicles in Oregon,so that I could put enough miles on them to register them in CA.You had to have at least 3000 miles on them to be able to do that.

No. All you need is a post office box. There are mail forwarding services. Full time RVers do this. South Dakota is a very popular place to do this. If all the people who call South Dakota “home” were in the state at the same time the population would double. 1 Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Heard she was surprised they didn't read her the Miranda rights.....Um, your country's laws do not travel across borders just because you do.

If you were traveling to that type of country,I would think that you'd be EXTREMELY careful on what you packed. Your thoughts? Having grown up in San Diego, with Mexico only 15 minutes away, I have heard so many stories on how people kept getting in trouble down in Mexico. And I had to remind them that once they cross that border, they are at the mercy of a whole different set of rules! Some thought it was a free for all and you could do anything! It's Mexico! Right? Nope, very Wrong! Griner probably had traveled with her stupid dope crap a few times and didn't think nothing of it, and from what I heard, apparently she is hot shit over there. But going there, weeks before an invasion and tensions running high between our countries, should have been enough not to go! But, money talks and bullshit walks for her, so she went and this time they cared about what she did or brought with her. So yeah, she became a lesson for all! Should we trade her for the so called merchant of death? No. That guy is responsible for lots of dead people, she is responsible for lots of dead brain cells! Let the lawyers and diplomats get her out, and let this be a lesson to all those who take things for granted. Hell, even when I travel to another state, I still watch what I do or say! 7 Quote Link to comment
