In CA, yes, a foot must touch the ground. I did convince an officer not to give me a ticket after explaining what I was doing, once. I really didn’t care that it was a violation. I did it anyway. I still do, occasionally.

In 1985 I was on my motorcycle on the 405 freeway in “rush” hour. I used to practice balancing my bike at stop signs without putting my feet down. I was doing that when a guy rear ended me. I was being propelled towards the car in front of me. I jumped off the bike and landed standing and facing oncoming traffic that was coming onto the freeway. A Porsche 911 stopped a couple of inches from my shins just below my knees. The driver, an older man, leaned out the window grinning and he said “Good thing this car has good brakes, huh?” I turned to see where my bike was. It was under the Toyota that hit me and the Volvo in front of me. My only injury was a sore shin. Probably from whacking it on the bars as I leapt from the bike. The guy that hit me was watching the oncoming traffic and not what was in front of him. Had I not been balancing my bike with my feet on the pegs I probably wouldn’t be here posting this.

I can guess the type of person is that is driving that van. That sure looks like SoCal judging by the scenery.

I remember being at work in Charlotte back on 2007 and being at a Blackberry meeting at work. We were all turning in our flip phones for those sh***y blackberries. The lady from IT was telling us “The space shuttle uses 286 computers. One BlackBerry has more computing power than all the computers aboard a space shuttle.” Having already experienced the wonders of the BlackBerry I raised my hand and asked if mine could be donated to NASA for their space shuttle program. She was not amused.

I am not familiar with INSP or H& I. Are they pay channels?

I’ll bet he thinks before running his mouth again. The big guy, I mean.

I have never really had a problem with parallel parking. I learned it pretty quickly as a kid. Regarding backing into parking spots. I flipping hate that practice. Not because I can’t, but because I have noticed that most people that back into parking spots for their quick get away or for whatever reason do it a helluva a lot slower than they would when backing out of a parking spot. I’m sure. Adding that to my list of reasons not to go with an EV. That battery should have a skid plate. I wonder if that could be considered a hazardous spill?
