  1. Wingnut in front of me is doing 30 kmh and braking frequently while prolly lookin for an address. He eventually turned into a school parking lot.

  2. Wingnuttier wingnuts making the left at the side street by the Costco WHEN THERE IS A PERFECTLY GOOD ADVANCED GREEN STOPLIGHT ONE BLOCK AHEAD!!! :rage:

I pulled an Other Driver the other day:

I am in a lane that is fairly wide with a dedicated right turn lane coming up. Buddy in front of me is hugging the yellow line, so I scooch over to the right. As I pass him, I see his right blinker going. :frowning:

I was a little confused on your abbreviation. So I looked it up.

AI says:
The correct scientific unit for kilometers per hour is km/h, but kph and kmph are also commonly used:

  • km/h: The preferred form and the correct scientific unit
  • kph: An abbreviation for kilometers per hour
  • kmph: An abbreviation for kilometers per hour

I was on the highway a couple of nights ago when I saw some wingnut in a red sports car speeding and then cut across a good 3 lanes of traffic and cut off a couple of cars all for good measure. :roll_eyes:

They should start a Pull Over For Porn campaign.

Who’s down with O.P.P.?

  1. I’m stopped at a red light behind a white utility van; the road’s a little greasy from the snow. The light turns green, but the van doesn’t move. A couple of seconds later, the van bolts into the right lane and around buddy in front of him and then races back in front of buddy. I ended up behind buddy for a couple of minutes while he did 30 km/h in a 60. :roll_eyes:
  2. I’m going eastbound on a regional road when I see a fire engine full lights and siren going westbound. I couldn’t get into the right lane, so I slow way the fluff down in case I had to move. Once I get through the intersection, waaaay down the road, I see an ambulance AND a fire dep’t support vehicle full lights and sirens. This time, I pull over to the paved shoulder and a couple of cars pull in behind. :peach: :tophat: behind me musta been impatient because he taps his horn. Once the emergency vehicles pass, I move back into traffic and watch :peach: :electric_plug: weave in and out of traffic on the nice, slippery road.

Why did they have to point out it was porn?

How many fewer people would have clicked on it / heard about the story if it hadn’t been pr0n?

A porn element increases interest in just about any subject.

Not many ordinary people want to hear the details about being an actuary. However, I know first-hand that almost EVERYBODY wants to know what a porn actuary does.

(In a past life I did product and pricing support for a program targeted at the adult entertainment market.)

Group Sex Health?
Accidental Meth or MisMemberment?
Dis-Ability to Perform?
Additional Riders?
P&C: Props and Casual?
Pension-etration?

Some doofus with Quebec plates went from the right lane on the highway to the ON RAMP lane and then had to squeeze back in. I gave him some distance because he was going over the white line repeatedly. Finally, he signalled right and stopped on the shoulder.

Property, several specialized Inland Marine coverages, a little bit of Auto (mostly non-owned), General Liability (not too many customers had product liability claims), Media Liability (quite a few more claims here), Workers Comp, and Accident.

Having to explain to HR and IT why the underwriters and claims specialists needed certain exceptions to be made to the corporate internet filter was…entertaining.

Just so you know: I worked long and hard on that list.
Long.
And Hard.
