Cars over 21 years old are EPA-exempt (you declare them as over 21 years
old on your EPA 3520-1 form, and supply proof in the form of a vehicle
registration/title document)
Cars over 25 years old are DOT-exempt (you declare them as over 25 years
old on your DOT HS-7 form, and supply proof in the form of a vehicle
registration/title document)
You may be charged importation duties and taxes; you may be subject to the
normal hassle that comes with importing large items from overseas as far
as Customs wanting to make sure there are no hidden drugs, other
contraband or agricultural pests, etc.
If you wind up with a RHD vehicle, or even a LHD vehicle that’s been
registered and driven in a LH-traffic country such as the UK, regardless
of the car’s safety compliance exemption at the border, do install
headlamp units for the correct side of the road — they are different!

I just saw this during the ND game and was going to post it to RAD. Worst
VW ad ever (I think). It’s for a VW car right?
The worst part is the driver giving a nod to the biker after they get to
the bottom of the hill. How fucking lame.

Ah, but it’s *artistic license.* The only point is to get us to stop
changing channels and look at the car. And, hopefully, remember the
*teaching point.* which apparently we did because we remember why (because
of swiveling headlights) we should all buy this car.
Anyway, the movie "Vertigo" had the longest suspension of belief ever
filmed. In the movie the character played by Kim Novak is followed all over
San Francisco by the character played by Jimmie Stewart. Filmed in 1958, it
shows a beautiful, neat, and attractive city (which I knew because I was
there.) Now the city is overrun by homeless bums, and the scenes could not
now be filmed. But anyway, they meander all over the city, and whenever she
stops, he stops, and here is the suspension of belief – they always have a
parking space, and right in front of where they are going.

You’re right – that IS more unbelievable than, say, a bunch of birds
suddenly attacking a town full of human beings.

It does sound stupid but at least it’s better than all those
commercials that glamorize the deadly crime of speeding.

Seems accurate to me. A bicyclist riding on a road he has no business
on, blocking traffic!

You guys sure have a funny definition of a troll. But I suspect it’s
just a way to deflect the truth of my statement.

Totally off topic, but you might enjoy Vertigo Then & Now (
http://www.basichip.com/vertigo/main.htm ). It shows a comparison of
SF 1958 and SF today, re-creating many still frames from the movie.
It’s funny how many Starbucks signs would be in that movie now.

How about all the cars racing up and down the hills at 90 MPH without
T-boning anybody?

Thanks. I really enjoyed the site.
It’s not off-topic as it shows autos.driving!

You trolls sure are incapable of understanding your true nature. But
I suspect it is just another attempt at a troll.

No, it’s the regular one everyone else recognizes, Troll. Go back
under your bicycle-free bridge, asshat.

I recently started cycling again. Part of my commute is on a two lane
road that’s posted at 35 mph. On the bike, I’m probably going 15 to 18
mph or so (slight grade). Every car that encounters me either partially
or completely goes on the opposite side of the road to pass me.
Today, I drove (I’m not feeling that well). Just as a test, I decided
to drive on that road at a speed of 20 mph just to see what would
happen. Lo and behold, not a single person would pass me and by the
time I got to the traffic light, at least 6 cars were stuck behind me.
I’ve never had that happen while I was on a bike.

There was the dead pool where they mocked the chase in bullitt with the
remote controlled car…..
but I don’t recall anything in dirty harry, the first movie.

Are you too clumsy or out of shape to ride a bike? Is that
you’re so hostile to bicyclists?

Nope, I’m in great shape. Work out 3 times a week. But let’s get back
to the subject: Bicyclists that block traffic are no better than LLBs,
and in fact, much worse, because getting tangled up with them will
probably result in a death. The worst part in my neck of the woods is
that we’re taxed to death and build freakin bike paths everywhere, and
some morons still ride on a 2 lane road. It should be as illegal for
them to ride on my road and it would be for me to drive on their bike
path.

Wrong. Left-lane blocking in a KRETP situation is illegal.
Riding a bicycle on a roadway is not illegal (assuming it is not a
"bicycles excluded" sort of road.)
In this state, I am legally required to pull off if I hold up five or
more drivers. I don’t know what your state requires.
> and in fact, much worse, because getting tangled up with them will

Getting "tangled up" with a bicycle rider implies the auto occupant is
incompetent.
> The worst part in my neck of the woods is
> that we’re taxed to death and build freakin bike paths everywhere
Except you’re not "taxed to death." Your taxes, no matter where you
are in the U.S. are lower than anywhere in the industrial world. Just
because you’re selfish and don’t want to pay them doesn’t mean they are
the burden you claim.
> and

If it’s legal to ride there, then you are just a whiner.

If the path were lined to keep traffic regular, and if all users were
required to KRETP, and if the paths went everywhere the roads did
without causing bike/car conflict, I could almost see your point.
But, as an anti-bike troll, you don’t know shit from Shinola.

So what? There’s plenty of legal LLBing going on. The participants in
this forum (Rightly so) don’t make a distinction between legal and
illegal LLBing.

Right, because all bicyclists are perfect, right. Now "Fantasyland" is
a apt subject line.

Of course I am. I am taxed until I die. And I’m sure if you have your
way, continue to get taxed after I die.

Irrelevant. Since when is the measure of standard for the United

The paths are totally separate from the road, a good 20 yards away.
Glad to see you’re coming around.

Exactly my point. Every car crossed into oncoming traffic to pass you.
If that’s not dangerous for both you and the driver, I don’t know what
is.
