The "Vermont Way" to turn left seems to be an abrupt jerk of the wheel to the right first. Next, you slowly easy yourself into the left hand turn like an old man settling into his favorite recliner. If you complete the turn going more than 15 mph on a road posted at 45 mph, you're doing it all wrong.

Same here. No real change in 40 years of driving other than, yes, the LEDs are annoying. But I’ve seen no evidence of constant high beams being an issue.

When’s the last time you actually heard of such a thing happening?

Would be nice to have a faster way to get to NH. I'll settle for getting to NH via 89.

HID's and the wrong lenses... I'll share. Like 10 years ago, my car was a 20 year old pile. It's was great. My headlights were basically unusable at night. I got brighter bulbs a few times, and finally got the brightest HIDs I could source. They were adjusted right. I had to buy a safety torx driver to adjust them slightly in grad school after someone hit my car. I never got flashed. I knew the housings were yellow, but new ones cost too much and the ones at the salvage yard were yellowed too, but not as bad as mine. Anyway, I was visiting my parents and went to my mechanic buddy's house. We were talking and he saw my headlights. WTF duder? Those are the most oxidized shitty things I've ever seen. Let me fix that for you. At work I get $300 a set to do these on a semi. So he polished them up and clear coated them. I drove home right at dark. I no joke could see a stop sign light up over a mile away in one particularly downhill spot. The roads in that area are gridded by one mile so it's easy to tell distance. The reflections off the road signs I drove past were blinding me. I went to napa the next morning and got normal bulbs. It's a really low population area, so I never met anyone, but I was worried I was going to. It was absurd like an airplane light or the brightest offroad lights I'd ever seen. We had just bought my dad a $600 or something absurd brightest spotlight made for checking cattle and these were brighter.

Not saying you do this, but there are also the overhangers, who edge way the fuck out at a stop and make it all but impossible to make a left turn without cutting it super close to them.

Because Vermont doesn't like to spend money on infrastructure, housing, or businesses. By the numbers, it will spend the most on law enforcement, prisons, and "emergency services", that all would not be as needed if those resources were spent on the first three more to begin with, but no one likes win-win's here.

Cue the George Carlin quote about maniacs and idiots.

Except for the fact that you share the planet with other people. People like you ride my ass every single day on my way home while I'm doing 5 over. Your lights blind me, and you put everyone at risk, and then you act like I'm the problem? Glad your time is more valuable than everyone else's but five extra minutes isn't going to affect your night in the slightest. I know you got that Gilmore Girls episode on DVR, it can wait.

It’s not deep, it’s factual and a logic based reason why I don’t drive 10mph under the speed limit. It just give me more time doing what I enjoy. I’d rather not waste an extra 1% of my life in a car. as it is with my current average miles a day, I will spend 3 years of my life in a car just getting to the place I’m going. That’s 4% of all the time I’m on this earth based on average male life expectancy. I’d rather it not be 5%. I don’t know what I will accomplish in that 1% of my life, but I know it will be more enjoyable than sitting in the car.

Newer cars are designed to not care for privacy or convenience, most of the time people aren't even on high beams, this happens CONSTANTLY in Maryland where I'm from too, as soon as you cross state lines into Maryland, put your sunglasses on or you'll not be able to see. They don't make em like they used to! Everything has to be r**Ard proof and is built to break and be serviced at a dealer

I was ranting to myself in my car about this very thing the other night driving along on dark roads in Monkton and being repeatedly blinded coming around corners. What the heck, people?

Really deep man.

miata gang! lets cruise some time

Worked in a bank for years. Don’t get it from the bank they are going to upcharge for the service. Honestly just use your card while traveling. It’s more convenient, you don’t come home with money that no one will exchange here, and you get the real exchange rate (plus 1% with some card companies) most of the time there is no use for cash, Canada is an advanced society not Neanderthals like us.

You're gonna LOVE Porsche's new headlights coming in 2023.

And/or people entering basically anywhere from a roadway.

The curb break/entrance to the parking area is four car widths/30+ feet wide, you don't need to cut the corner into the people that are exiting. The same with exiting. Treat it like traffic lanes, don't pull up and stop in the middle while waiting to exit. ¯\_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)_/¯

Considering Cott Systems is based outside Columbus, OH, it's pretty safe to assume the FBI will be involved.

Crimes across state lines and cyber crime would both fall into their jurisdiction.

Yeah definitely just some dude who had an ego problem about him from what it sounds like. Prob just hated the fact he couldn’t hold his gun for 5 minutes

I mean maybe. Time is finite for us humans. I prefer to not spend extra time in my vehicle. It doesn’t seem unreasonable to expect drivers to go the speed of prevailing traffic and to get out of the way if they can’t.

Trust me, I know some Town Clerk people who are doing AMAZING work holding things together with limited resources. The gravity (liability) of hosting important property records as a service is something the provider should understand. I don't expect my Town Clerk to rotate backups. I hope the FBI and other Law Enforcement are helping to investigate. :/

yep, roads were a bit scary.

I was hoping for the Cleveland spiders, they blew it!
