How to deal with jerkoff bikers on the road

[Carrel]

But if the conveyor belt were adjusted to match the speed of the plane's wheels, no matter what their speed, wouldn't the plane just stand still?

No, it wouldn't.

Even if the conveyor was programmed to gradually slow itself, the resistance between the bearings and the axel, and the wheels and the surface of the conveyor would always, always cause the wheels to spin slightly slower than the conveyor is moving. Thus, unless you power the wheels (or apply thrust or pull), the conveyor will always stay slightly ahead of the plane, causing it to slide back

Time to call in Jamie and Adam. They'll just get frustrated and eventually blow it up.

So you were holding up traffic in the left lane? You were in the wrong.

I'd have brake checked em in a second. If they hit you in the rear, it's their fault.
But at the same time I hate peeps that block the left lane (at any speed) if the right lanes are open.
I've always wanted a bumper sticker that reads "If this bumper sticker just passed you on the right, Your in the Wrong damn Lane!"

You do that here in Texas its YOUR fault AND you either get a ticket or go straight to jail. Depending on the severity of the accident. At those speeds and them being on bikes most likely you would go to jail, be ticketed for reckless endangerment, attempted insurance fraud, speeding, failure to yeild the right of way, failure to stay right on a highway. (in Texas the left lane is for passing only...not that its enforced all the time but, its still the law)

On a side note, I was passing a car a few weeks ago, I sped up behind another car to get infront of the car I was passing. The guy who was right in front of me did the brake check thing. I was only behind him for a few seconds but he had had a bad day. Got even worse when I flipped him off ( I know my bad) anywho he followed me to my exit. I pulled into a gas station and he jumped out of his car.
He made a few threats blah blah blah. Long story short the cop that saw him do it pulled in shortly and read him the riot act then preceded to ticket him.
It was for reckless endangerment. pretty steep fine on them iirc.

He did not say he was in a queue.... i.e. traffic was moving and it's the law...slower traffic keep right!
Here not moving over will get you a ticket (right now I think it's € 130)

I sure wished they enforced that here!

It sure would solve a lot of problems began by selfish/ignorant drivers.

Texas Rules of Engagement:

1) Slower traffic keep right.
2) If someone spits on your car, shoot the SOB.

Turn the offending biker into a hood ornament.

Well, nice to see this is turning into a real controversy. The advice is well appreciated, as are all of the priceless comments.

LOL Like I said a year or two ago.
You cant bring up a conversation about lollipops withoutit turning into a debate LOL

Getting too old for the "Good Old Days". I'm clueless, what's an engineer's boot? I work best in flip-flops.

slightly more painful then flip flops lol

Plane on a conveyor belt was an easy problem... The thrust/pull of the engines would only have to match and cancel the resistence generated by the ball bearings in the landing gear to keep the plane in place on the conveyor. Any thrust/pull beyond that would push the plane forward, off the conveyor. Any less, and the plane would gradually slide back as the constant speed of the conveyor would gradually decay the non-powered speed of the wheels.

The plane's engine had to generate thrust in excess of the rotational energy being imparted to the wheels for the plane to move forward. Let's not do this again.

well, heres wat i would do.. u got someone riding you, slam on the brakes, they hit u from the back, its there fault = D
