The fact you actually read the test speaks volumes.
I scored well in it, like I do all tests.

Not that I condone either, but it's much more difficult to ride a bike when you are under-the-influence than it is to drive a car. :D
I still find cabs to be the best option for show going if you're in a 'festive' mood. [Assuming I can remember to save the fare $$.]
Too bad Pittsburgh only has about 5 cabs total. And no public trans other than buses. Now here's a city that could use your help Chimbly. [/QB]you obviously don't live between dahtahn and south hills village. my old roommate lives in dormont, and the "t" is good stuff for going home. when i worked downtown, i used to get trashed all the time as i road the bus to and from work. good times.
the night before my sisters wedding i was blown away. we were in cabs in pittsburgh for one, and the cabbies spoke english. crazy town
Do Brennser and Chimbly also weave in and out of a line of cars then get all pissed off when they nearly get hit by a car very legally turning….do they also ride on the sidewalk and scare the crap out of pedestrians as they speed by, even though it's called a sideWALK, not a sideCYCLE?umm, no - never ride on sidewalks and don't get pissed off at a car legally turning provided it signals which about 50% of the drivers in DC fail to do

I bet you red light running bikers would be the first to piss and moan if you got whacked by a car who was very legally going through on green.

"The only senior official who has outright refused to use a GEM (fancy golf cart) is European Commission President Romano Prodi, Izvestia reported. He asked for a bicycle."

I do whatever is safe to get me where I'm going quickly. I weave through traffic, but only when it's stopped at a red light or going significantly slower than me.

Cars are homocidal machines. Bikes, well, you'd have to be really screwed up.
I think the hispanic I hit with my car a month ago is probably thinking right now that its safer to drive then bike. In my defense he did roll thru a stop sign, luckily for him I was only going 25 and hit his back tire. I think he only did two summersaults before coming to a hault.
As I was crossing 13th St. today during lunch I saw a cop ticket a guy for jaywalking. The cop repeatedly told the guy to stop. The guy didn't realize the cop was talking to him.
I wouldnt have stopped either, I'm sure the cop was overweight and couldnt have caught him on his best day if he were to run away.

They can hold you until you produce ID.

yeah, be sure you always have your papers on you
for jaywalking, i doubt they would go through the trouble of holding you. would they?

Technically, I'm sure they can hold you until you prove who you are. However, in my experience, DC cops don't really enforce anything. Unless you count parking tickets. But those aren't really cops, and parking is only enforced in certain parts of the city and during certain parts of the day.

actually I guess they don't, they really just harass students, they don't really give tickets
