Technically the sun didn't move relative to the earth, the earth rotated creating the illusion of the sun moving.

Traveling down Peninsula Highway on my way home from work. For people who dont know: it's a 4-lane Autobahn road off of 695, that is 50 MPH. However, due to lack of police patrols there, people typically do 60ish. Honestly, it's absolutely barren so I don't see why not, but 50 is certainly enough.

So, I'd just made my left turn onto the road riding my motorcycle, my friend on his riding staggered to my rear right. I look in my mirror and notice a woman on his *** in a Honda Pilot. We were doing about 55 btw, and hadn't merged right yet.

In the brief time between me looking, noticing her there, deciding to merge, signalling, and beginning my lane shift....I make one FINAL look to my side to make sure I'm clear and WOOSH - there she is, doing 75 in the right lane, with her phone up to her dumbass face as I'm merging over.

I gave chase for a moment, before I realized 70 wasn't even catching her, and she was still pulling, and realized it wasn't worth hauling *** down this road just to have words with her. At least, not until I noticed she pulled into my housing development. Followed her to her place, and proceed to ask her if she USUALLY travels that fast down a road while talking on her phone, to which she responds, "Don't worry, I'm calling the police, keep talking!"

What the hell is she going to tell them? "Oh yeah, totally doing 25 miles over the limit and talking on my phone, I almost killed a dude today. Yeah, I went home, parked, and he yelled at me for being dumb. Did he threaten me? Oh, no, but he did call me a dumb cunt - that is fairly foul..."

Whatever - I know where she lives now along with what she drives, so I'll be looking for her with my GoPro ready. I on the other hand DID call the cops on her. Obviously, they can't do anything about this instance, but they can however, step up patrols on this friggin road. So, fair warning, Al: don't speed down there.

Moral of the story? Being a reactive driver will get you killed in this state, whereas being a proactive driver may just save your life. Also, some bitches be stupid.

WOW. How infuriating That's why that last head check is invaluable. Good thing you did it. Glad you weren't hurt.

technically... everything is moving relative to everything else, as the sun is orbiting the galaxy, which itself is traveling at a increasing rate of speed out from (most) other galaxies.

...while space itself is expanding...

But it wasn't worth the increase in my insurance.

While arguably ill-advised, I believe lane-splitting is legal in California; however, it is not legal here. You can usually spot the a-holes a mile away, though - if you think riding on interstates in shorts and flip-flops is a good idea, you clearly possess no sense whatsoever.

Oh yeah, it's legal there. That's what blew my mind...

HATER!!! Just cuz you don't have motorcycle fashion sense...

My favorite one was the guy that was stuck behind the truck. Well I blipped out and passed him and the truck. Next thing I know he blippes out from behind the truck and gets in front of me.

Then he slows down to 50 miles an hour and proceeds to pull a wheelie in front of me and ride it for a mile while accelerating away.

I just though please don't Fcuk this up because you will be a red smear on my nice clean undercarriage.

What a Tool...

And he was wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops...

I look like I'm ready to play in the snow when I'm all geared up. Totally dorky, but I'm not taking any chances. What you wear when you get on the bike is what you'll be wearing when you come off the bike...

When I was stationed in San Diego, the cycle riders there were bad. Every weekend some drunk Sailor was killed trying to navigate back to the naval station crossing the Coronado Bay Bridge at 130MPH. Other times, it was other guys zipping through the stalled traffic on I-5 and eventually someone wouldn't see them and they change lanes abruptly only to send the cyclist careening over their hood.

The first time I saw it I laughed hard. Then I realized he was probably busted up inside as a result. Then he stood up and ran to his bike, bitched at the car driver and proceeded to zip off before the cops came, busted bike and all.

I like my skin where it is. Don't want to have some nurse using a brush to get the asphalt out of whats left of my skin when I crash it...
