If the area gets snow, adding barriers that get covered by snow and gently caress up the plow are a really bad idea.

I dunno, I saw some guy completely high centered in his shitbox when he ran over a snow covered island. It made me laugh my rear end off.

In places like that they put really tall makers on top of the barriers/guardrail so the plow driver knows where they are.

this is the world
I see far too many idiotic moves on the road to post them all, but this one ended with the idiot getting what he deserved.

1) City bus squeezes through on yellow as the last vehicle through the turn lane and I come to a stop at the line.
2) Silver BMW in the straight-only lane passes all of us in the left turn lane as the light turns red, turning left and drafting the bus's blind spot through the corner.
3) Bus exits intersection and moves to right curb bus stop to drop/pick passengers, forcing the BMW to screech to a halt in the crosswalk.
4) BMW honks horn repeatedly at the bus (who doesn't even know he's there) because the bus doing bus things ruined his sweet illegal maneuver. He continued to be stuck when the cross traffic proceeded on green and prevented him from entering traffic until the end of the light cycle.

Driving to work this morning I'm in the left lane of the main road in my area. There's a bro-truck behind me, but both lanes are moving at a decent pace so no problem. About a quarter to half a mile before the on-ramp for the highway I move into the right lane. I'm about one and a half car lengths behind the car in front of me and there is nobody behind me. After several seconds the guy in the bro truck decides to gun it and get in front of me. I figure fine, he just has to get on the highway a whole car length sooner than if he'd just pulled in behind me. I was wrong because he promptly slowed down to make a right turn, which for some reason couldn't have been done behind me. Really, dude?

JUST FUCKING TAKE OFF ALREADY, SHIT
Mad props to the mother of a van full of kids to fly up to what must have been 75 mph in a 40 to make sure I couldn't change lanes to get in front of her. She was at least a block back when I popped my signal on and started checking my mirrors when I see the van's nose surge up and see the thing haul rear end. I decided to wait just a moment longer when she slowed down to not hit the car in front of her, then when the space opened, I tried again and was able to get in as she got on the horn and rode my rear end. I think her kids were giving her a lovely day as she looked batshit insane and was gesturing and yelling.

I'm not sure what's more dangerous. Moms or bad semi truck drivers.

Coming from small to medium size town Florida, riding in a cab in Boston was an eye opening experience. Also, it was cool as gently caress to be able to step off the curb drat near anywhere and hail a cab within five minutes. I'd always wanted to do that :3:

You know if you do a job for a good few years you're pretty much considered a master at it? Why are taxi drivers so loving awful at driving considering that's what they do all day? You'd imagine at some point they'd have this zen mastery of the road and everyone who drives upon it, shifting flawlessly, gliding between lanes effortlessly, getting you to where you need to go with the minimum of fuss... Whenever I get in one though they always seem to nearly hit something (or things on many occasions), have no idea how to drive smoothly or any idea of the road layouts in the city they work in and ALWAYS try to gently caress you out of cash by taking the longest route.

A common theme with all these videos, besides sucking at parking in general, is a complete lack of understanding how to turn the wheel. Always turn too little, too late.

No one got hit so that wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. She didn't pull forward enough before backing in and realized her mistake, no harm done. Although I don't know why she even wanted to in the first place since it would have given her less room to open her door.

I assumed since the parking space looked reserved for people with babies that maybe she had a kid in a carseat on the rear left side. Certainly with the time she wasted she could have gotten them out from the opposite side easily enough though.
