who has the right of way??

[Hawkshot99]

Who has the right of way? The vehicle with more dents.

A starboard tack boat has right of way over a port tack boat. When boats are on the same tack and overlapped, a windward boat shall keep clear of a leeward boat. When boats are on the same tack and not overlapped, a boat clear astern shall keep clear of a boat clear ahead.

Like BB said, "Common sense should prevail."

I've seen a lot of damaged fiberglass in my day from racers playing chicken with those rules. If somebody is overtaking you on an upwind leg, the normal defensive manuver is to tack into them. I'm not sure what the insurance company thinks when you file the claim. "I had the right of way" doesn't carry much weight when you intentionally tacked into another boat and hit it.

A week ago, I had some 300 pound lard-butt woman pounding on my window at the fish market. I was in the VW parked between two massive SUVs. I couldn't see shit. I crept back out of the parking spot completely blind. This jiggling tub of lard starts pounding on my window shouting "you almost hit me". WFT! Why are you walking into a car that is totally blind creaping out of a parking spot?

I'm both with the older KZone crew... Hated and laughed at... haha...

Political squabbles with Shortski doesn't count as hated. He's the real life Boston equivalent of Joe Pesci's Vinny Gambini in "My Cousin Vinny". Arguing is his life.


Bill: You have to see the Gambinis in action. I mean, these people, they love to argue. I mean, they live to argue.
Stan: My parents argue too, it doesn't make them good lawyers.
Bill: Stan, I've seen your parents argue. Trust me, they're amateurs.

I always thought the bigger boat had the ROW. Boats with Sails do to.

It's not so much bigger boat as ability to manuver. A tug boat with a barge on a cable behind it has the right of way over just about anything short of a supertanker.

A boat with sails doesn't have the right of way over a ship. The ship might see you and change course. It might not.

...and a news flash to all the newbie kayak people.... A kayak in a tight channel does not have the right of way over a larger vessel that has nowhere else to go. I've seen self-rightous morons in kayaks screaming about right of way at yachts that draw 8 feet of water. If you're at the helm, you have no choice but to hold your course and run them over if they refuse to get out of the way.

On light wind days I yell at kayakers who don't give way as they pass me. Boat rule of thumb- more maneuverable gives way.

In the parking lot, the car backing out gives way. Common courtesy suggests that you let someone back out if you can.

"Ability to maneuver" is key. I always give way to a tanker. ; - )

Ahhh...courtesy...a lost art.

in NY, the car passing through the lot has ROW until the car backing out has completely exited the parking stall.

so i am in the right of way....most times when pulling out of a parking stall u can't see the vehicles in the parking lot until ur half way out of the parking stall....here on long island if u back out of a parking stall most of the the time some scumbag will come flying up behind u & blast the horn on ya....which is what happened the other day....i then got out of my vehicle cursed the crap out of the male & female in a suv the guy kept screaming & i spit 5-10x in the face of the male & female neither idiot would get out of the vehicle....they r lucky as both would have been arrested & or i would have snapped both of their necks....im the nicest human being on earth until u $uck with me:evil::evil:

 

[NYDrew]

Actually, you are quite lucky the police never came. If they were en-route through your area while you were still backing out...they had the right of way. As far as exiting your vehicle, that is illegal in NY, it is definitely punishable by jail time, perhaps a felony. Spitting on someone who refuses to engage you in "road rage" is just deplorable human behavior. I grew up on Long Island...you really give us a bad rap. Snapping necks...I doubt it but would pay to see you try.

Three things...please do not manipulate my posts to accommodate justifying your uncivilized encounters, please stop giving down state NYers a bad rap and please stop advertising that your Jewish. I'm just so completely nauseated I have so much in common with you.

NYPD Officers Accused of Perjury


NEW YORK (AP) -- Two Brooklyn police officers are accused of trumping up allegations against a man they thought was a black-market cigarette dealer, but who was actually an undercover Internal Affairs agent.

Sgt. Raymond Stukes and officer Hector Tirado pleaded not guilty Friday to perjury charges.

Police say the two ran into trouble when they unknowingly stumbled across a sting being conducted by the Internal Affairs division.

Unaware of what was taking place, they arrested an agent posing as a cigarette dealer and filed arrest reports claiming he tried to sell bootleg smokes to two people.

But prosecutors say the reports were partly fabricated, and didn't match events captured in an Internal Affairs video.

Stukes and Tirado are free pending trial.

Their lawyers declined to comment.

heres another one....

same parking lot....2 senior citizens backing out of a handicap parking stall....they are half way out of the parking stall when some bitch in an audi comes flying up behind blasting the horn yelling at them & making nasty faces....the senior driver stopped & let the bitch drive by....if that was me i would have clamed in the bitch's face....if she responded to getting clamed on i would have dialed 911 indicating a woman is trying to rob me in the parking lot....courtesy?? not where i live....

.if that was me i would have clamed in the bitch's face....if she responded to getting clamed on i would have dialed 911 indicating a woman is trying to rob me in the parking lot....courtesy?? not where i live....

I have no idea what "clamed in the face" is, but you calling the cops and making false claims to get quicker responce and will get you arrested.

 

[NYDrew]

I've been gone for a few years, come back and you got this scumbag haunting the forums. Seriously, how has he not been booted off these forums yet. Has anyone skied with him, is he this big of a tool in person?

Oh, and dirtbag, with these stories, you are no better then the dishonest cops you complain about. Please go back to your beloved ghetto and get shot so you can be with your beloved family and we don't have to hear about it anymore. I'm sure I'm not the only one who beloves that beloved idea.
