Spot a drunk driver - FE driver cowinkidinks
I got this email at work today and started to notice there are some similarities between a FE driver and drunks.....:eek:
How to Spot a Drunk Driver: Listed below are clues suggested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as ways to distinguish between nighttime drunk and sober drivers. ? Turning with a wide radius. -------N/A ? Straddling the center of the road or lane marker. --------N/A ? Appearing to be drunk (i.e., eye fixation, face close to windshield, drinking in the vehicle). --------N/A ? Almost striking an object or other vehicle. --------paying too much attention to the Scangauge ? Weaving or zigzagging across the road. --------see above ? Driving on other than a designated roadway. ----------always trying to find a route best for FE ? Swerving or abruptly turning away from a generally straight course. -----------again Scangauge ? Turning abruptly or illegally. ------------trying to beat that light so you don't have to stop ? Driving slower than 10 mph below speed limit. ---------do I have to explain? ? Stopping without cause in a traffic lane. ----------N/A ? Stopping inappropriately (other than in lane). -----------N/A ? Following others too closely. ------------aka - drafting ? Drifting or moving in a straight-line at a slight angle to the roadway. -------------N/A ? Erratic braking. ---------------N/A ? Driving into opposing or crossing traffic. -------------again - Scangauge fixation ? Signaling that is inconsistent with driving actions. ---------------N/A ? Slow response to traffic signals (sudden stop, delayed start). -----------restarting from FAS ? Driving with headlights off. -------------------electricity use energy = fuel |
now that is hilarious

Erratic braking- could be mistaken for early coasting?
Weaving or zigzagging- trying to catch the wake draft of passing SUV's? Signaling that is inconsistent with driving actions- I was EOC and wanted to change lanes, so I put on my turn signal but forgot they don't work when the key is off, so then I turned the key on, but by then I was already in the other lane! |
I do all of them all the time.

Just waiting...
I'm just waiting to be pulled over for said items (but I drive with my lights on all the time). I often go below the speed limit and will change lanes excessively to ride that momentum if a car is blocking the way. I can't wait to explain the whole process and maybe do an inservice at the station on how to hypermile the Crown-Vic when patrolling :p
