That's very interesting that you broach this subject. As a well-versed
driver of over 50 years experience, I remember well the motorist hand
signals, which were of more use to cyclists than folks in autos.
Regardless of that, I still frequently use those hand signals whilst
driving my most expensive convertible automobile. Most of which involve
the use of my middle finger.

I prefer a more active gesture, kinda like the move IAM drivers use on the steering wheel, but with the hand in the air clearly visible to the offending driver.

In the US we say of those folks (who are either old folks or ornamentals): "She's never been in an accident but has caused thousands."

We have those sort too, paying no attention to their surroundings. But the IAM folk are people who claim to be excellent drivers, they go on special training courses. They stick PRECISELY to the speed limit, even if it's foggy or they're going round a tight bend, simply because it says so on the speed limit sign. They're like robots. Clear straight road with nothing coming, they stick to 60mph and hold everyone up. Windy road with thick fog, 60mph causing danger to everyone.

That's very interesting that you broach this subject. As a well-versed driver of over 50 years experience, I remember well the motorist hand signals, which were of more use to cyclists than folks in autos. Regardless of that, I still frequently use those hand signals whilst driving my most expensive convertible automobile. Most of which involve the use of my middle finger.

Pleasance wants one of them electric Tesla jobs. I'm on the fence about it, seeing myself having to plug in all the time, something like a well-used vibrator or such.

No more than you have to "plug in" to the gas pump. And the plug can be in your own driveway.

Maybe so, but one would need a very long extension cord three hundred miles away.

Useless in the middle of nowhere, I guess some parts of America could be difficult. In the UK there are enough charging stations, although I'm not happy with how long they take to charge. I can fill with gas in a few minutes, I haven't seen a battery that can charge that fast yet. There are some cars in some charging stations that can almost fill in 30 minutes, but that's still a long time to wait.


Many parts of America would be difficult. America is a "full-sized" nation, not a tiny island one.
I hope that clears things up...

But you have a difficulty we don't.

So tell me, how come your population density is so low? Do you guys have trouble getting it up?


It's low? Doesn't seem that way over here. In fact, I've often been heard sayin' "What we need is uh good ol'-fashioned plague."

You have areas where you don't see anyone driving for 100 miles.

I wanna go there, to those places and live!

Why don't you then? I believe one of them is called the Arizona Desert.


Too hot out there, but the scenery is nice.
How about living out there in the middle of nowhere in a trailer?

Does it have A/C?

Either it has A/C or you would have SB (scrambled brains).

You could just fit one of these at the end of your garden (from "bigass fans"):
