Rude drivers reduce traffic jams

[SpankMe]

"Traffic jams are minimized if a significant fraction of drivers break the rules (http://physicscentral.com/buzz/blog/index.cfm?postid=3414795237807494042) by doing things like passing on the wrong side or changing lanes too close to an intersection. The insight comes from a cellular automata study published this month in the journal Physical Review E (http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevE.80.016111). In effect, people who disregard the rules help to break up the groups that form as rule-followers clump together. The risk of jamming is lower if all people obey the rules than if they all disobey them, according to the analysis, but jamming risk is lowest when about 40 percent of people drive like jerks."

I see this all the time. Cages drive with traffic, but bikes ride through traffic. I often pass through slow moving "clumps" of cages just to find the road in front of it completely clear. The only thing holding everyone up are a few twats at the front refusing to go over the speed limit by even 1kph.

And not to forget about the fuck-knuckles that forget what the big round thing they are holding onto does, and that they can actually get around that car that is trying to park. But nooooooo, it means that they have to cross the white line, so they just sit there, all dumb like, even if the other way is clear!

If I am holding onto my big round thing, there is no way in hell I will ever risk crossing the line, or did I just do that??...:Oops:

Some people just can't bring themselves to break ANY rules as their safety is then compromised. Personally,I think that it would be a personality trait verging on OCD.

I can't comprehend what their world must be like........







FUCKING BORING!!!

Well I guess when your name is requesting to be spanked, you best have an arse that can take it :D

EDIT: pics of said arse with you holding it wouldn't go a-miss :blip:

YET ANOTHER EDIT: that wouldn't mean that you would be " ever risk crossing the line" cos you ride a Honda.

Hell yes, see thisall the time and wonder what the fuck is going on. And typically it's one or two drivers crawling along.

ok, must be the same people who slow down on the on ramps when they go onto the motorway, wait for the whole round-a-bout to be clear before entering, and drive around corners slower than I could drag myself around on my arse. :mad: Not that any of this holds me up, I just zip past them.
