#6 Good manners are what keep you alive when dealing with strangers

Unfortunately, many motorists that otherwise know what good manners are seem to lose it entirely once their cars start moving. Failure to keep to the right when driving slow, cutting people off, forcing their way in, and failing to stop and let pass others that are being held up on a two-lane road are but samples of movement-induced motorist brain malfunction.

#7 One can only be appalled at the reduction in good manners occasioned by the passing of a statute outlawing dueling the US in the very early 1800's. I could be persuaded to support a repeal of said law, providing that the weapons allowed were "sporting". Being 6'8" I am much enamored of 16# sledgehammers in 6' of water....

#8 confusedshush says, "good manners are not reflected by how others correctly follow the rules, but how you, as an individual, handle the fact that the car in front of you did not follow the rules". Now we are talking manners, civility, chivalry and taking the high road.
