Guys, we're taking this all the wrong way. The only way we can make sure everyone stays safe is if we all sign the "pace buddy pledge" and set the pace on the road how it should be. I'll be purchasing a new car just for this program to make sure we keep a good pace on the roads!

Completely unrelated question:
Does anyone have a black civic with green neons and mashimoto ZX tires for sale? :troll:

In all seriousness though, this is stupid because sometimes it's safer going faster when everyone else is, e.g. highway merging.

Make that 3 please.

Actually, I have a better idea. How about we go in front of these pace cars and drive 30km/h. SEE HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THAT!

Noran 10-24-2013 07:44 PM

How about everyone signs up for this garbage and drives with the flow of traffic.

dared3vil0 10-24-2013 07:48 PM

You know what i just realized? Imagine how many people with pace car stickers on their cars are going to have their cars vandalized?

pace car in aberdeen parking lot

dared3vil0 10-24-2013 09:54 PM

^ Do you mean you saw someone with the sticker or you want pace cars at aberdeen? If you saw one with sticker, did you get pic? :fullofwin:

meme405 10-25-2013 11:05 AM

Yeah curious as to what the symbol or sticker is like. I am picturing just a massive penis sticker...

You would have to be an idiot to put that crap on your car, park your car DT or in surrey or in richmond and your car would get keyed to shit.

Might sign up put the sticker on and put a massive X over it.

MS Paint fix'd

EDIT: Looks like you just email orders@parachutecanada.org and they'll mail you a decal if you want.

This is NOT a good idea

- the road is already flooded with cars
- we don't need more traffic jams
- asking for road rage
- waste of time, gas, maintenance costs

If they're actually concerned about road safety, they should be spending their time and budget on something else.

Speeding is not the leading cause of accidents.
DUI, texting, not paying attention, lack of experience, etc.

Preventing cars going 60-65km/h on 50 zone isn't going do much.

I dont disagree with your post, but they are not putting more cars on the road, or paying drivers.

You sign up your car, and put the decal on, then when you are out and about driving, you drive the speed limit.

Its not like they are supplying a car and telling some guy to go drive around vancouver for 8 hours at the speed limit...:rukidding:

Yeah, just ask Hector about them. I heard he's running Spoon engines for the upcoming Race Wars. He's got a last name too but I can't pronounce it

oh ok I guess I misunderstood that part

Cman333 10-31-2013 10:29 AM

I really can't imagine this working at all. We have enough people driving the exact limit or slower and it doesn't exactly slow everyone down.

Sounds like a huge waste of resources. They'll need to buy a car, pay someone their overpaid union wage, then waste shitloads of gas and contribute to the already bad traffic problem.

Great idea.

Coles Notes:

-You sign yourself up.
-They give you an emblem.
-You drive around at the speed limit
-You think better of yourself, and hope people follow your retarded driving habit.
-Your car gets vandalized and set ablaze by the intelligent driving community.
