Tour of a Mazda MX-3 Precidia

[QUOTE=matth]Same difference, don't get worked up over it.

I did not say you can't take the whole lane. I did say you don't drive to the end and pull out without so much as a glance behind your shoulder, which is what seems to happen even when there is very little traffic.

I hope this was clear enough for you../QUOTE]

You pretty much implied that it was something wrong...

Not to mention the fact that you told me a while ago that it is wrong that drivers do that.

WTF is a merge lane? It called an on/off ramp. Your allowed to take up the whole lane when merging onto a highway. You use that ramp to accelerate to the highway speed, not to go and then speed up once on the highway. Your allowed to use the whole ramp if you have to for safety, thats what is there for.

Same difference, don't get worked up over it.

Drivers in NS don't seem to merge properly.. they go to the end of the merge lane and pull out into traffic without so much a look behind them! Not safe to have this happen on the highway, its an accident waiting to happen

Yeah Chris, you dont have your license, and or one thing, not "90%", there are bad drivers, and good ones too, lke yours truly

[Cam]

and 90% of Canadians cant drive safely for shit

You don't have your license yet....

[DAL767-400ER]

Well, whatever. I was merely giving my opinion on this. If it is seen as becoming worked up, well, so be it. I'll withdraw myself from this topic.

I like BMW's a lot. I was in agreement.


Who cares if you have airbags or not. It's your life on the line, and I'm not too worried. I'm sure Kevin is a good driver.

Kevin, wear your seatbelt though.

And, DAL767...no need to get all worked up. Some people can't afford new cars with airbags.

[ACman]

Your driving skills certainly won't help you when there's suddenly a deer or another large animal on the road and you have no chance to avoid collision.

Car with or without airbags will be practically destroyed if it runs into a moose. So dont pull this "oh well airbags will save you in a deer-car collision", because drving skills do help.

Thats why I took and passed Young Drivers

As if there aren't enough other awesome cars that actually do have those features.

Wow, thats a comment only someone who doesnt think about how awesome some older cars really are.

[Chris@YYZ]

Jeeze, calm down!

Its not like I said this car is the safest on the road. Its obvious its not the safest with no airbags, ill tell you right now it doesnt have crumple zones! If you dont drive cars with no airbags and crumple zones based on safety, your missing out on a lot of awesome cars. I will tell you that right now. When it comes down to it, its the driver, not the car in terms of safety.

Uhh, yea...

In need of some sarcasm lessons?

Car with no airbags, i don't think that there is a significant difference between a car with airbags and without with a slight percentage on being on the safe side for the car with airbags.. Are airbags really going to do much when you hit somthing at 60-90mph? They are definatly there for a reason, but hitting somthing at those speeds would rip apart the car.

Even more reason not to drive it.

Driving a car with NO AIRBAGS? Well, enjoy your life then, with such a car it could end sooner than you would imagine.

Yeah - we recently shopped for a second car, and that was one of the things we looked for before making a choice. Front and side curtain airbags (I think)
