Stupid car/driving quotes/comments

[anonymous-user]

Should be a good topic for a Monday morning! What quotes or comments have you heard you disagree with?
My favs, driving is a privilege and not a right. Also you're not stuck in traffic, you are traffic.

[Zetec-S]

It's my right of way.

That's correct though

"It wasn't my fault, I was doing the speed limit."

"Slow lane" and "fast lane"

I think you'll have to explain why you disagree with those two as they are correct.

"BMW indicators don't work" would be mine as they do.

And I like the "stuck in traffic" one too. If I'm in a traffic jam with my brother we always joke about all of the "idiots" getting in our way when we are trying to do something "very important".

“I didn’t indicate as I didn’t see any other cars nearby”

Or

‘THEY should have braked and made room for ME as I was indicating as I changed lanes”

Or

“My car is MOT’d and Serviced annually, so ‘they, will tell me if my Tyres, wipers, brakes or bulbs need changing”


Always someone else’s fault, for lack of awareness.

"My car's more economical than his as it only takes £40 to fill it instead of £60."

Sure.
"driving is a privilege and not a right." As long as I've have the legal status to drive, then I have the right to drive.
"you're not stuck in traffic, you are traffic." I'm part of the traffic, so therefore I'm stuck in the traffic.

See the other thread, you have misunderstood privilege vs right. You are correct that once you have your licence then you have a right to drive, but you don't have a fundamental right to drive, just like you don't have a fundamental right to own a gun. You have a right to apply for a licence for either and are then bound by the conditions attached to that, and such conditions may be varied by the state.

How about ‘when in a hole, stop digging’ ?

Oh well done, now you've made it an NPE thread!

That car is going faster than me - = The driver is a speed maniac.
That car is going slower than I want to = The driver is a doddery old fool.

Any time a driver taking part in a convoy drive describes themselves as being like a Red Arrow pilot is sure to get a laugh from me.
