Safety is the primary motivation jvett. Ya can't cut the white lines lanes short or go into the grass to pass but to avoid a wreck or hazard.

I didn’t see who won Driver of the Day, but Alonso had to be in the running after jumping his car and finishing with real points, right?

 

[Hank Kingsley]

As likely the only "auditor" in this thread, I'm behind by 12... Not 8 you dyslexic MF....

 

[Retroram52]

Dyslexia has nothing to do with it, Hankie poo! Good grief! Go do a victory lap in your Mercedes wagon to give yourself a safe place for your fragile miniscule ego!

Babble, babble, babble...

Has everything to do with it. Or do you use the new math?

You flipped a 9 and a 7 in your fragile mind.

159 -147 = 12

157 - 149 would equal 8 in your new math world.

Fuck all to do with ego.

Just the facts.

Besides it was wet outside today. No need to dirty Panzerwagon for a P2.
