I think a lot of people just don't realize that donuts are not as durable as regular tires. You'd think it would be obvious but a lot of people just figure that their spare is like a regular tire, just weird shaped to fit in the trunk. People rarely take the time to read the sides of tires, heck I know people that had no clue how inflated their tires needed to be and was trying to look it up online on their phone before I pointed out that it's printed right on the tire. It really should be at least a mention in drivers ed or something, but I don't ever remember hearing about how to use a donut.

It pisses me off to no end that my spare well is too shallow to fit the stock tire size (215/45/R17, not exactly Mustang drag radials), so I'm forever stuck with either the donut or, at best, a full-diameter spare with a narrower section width if I wanna be able to have the trunk floor installed.

Uh the number on the side of the tire is the max psi, the recommended pressures for the vehicle is usually on a sticker in the door jamb or on the door.

The spare at least you do go by sidewall pressure, generally 60 psi. Normal tires though yeah. I saw terrifying numbers of minivans come in with tires at 60 psi or whatever the sidewall rating was, these carrying full loads of children and cargo. One good pothole and you have a blowout, and probably riding on the middle 1/2" of the tread. And then they bitch when their tires wear to the belts after 4,000 miles (this also applies to the underinflated tires that don't chew the sidewall out first).

I almost got t-boned by someone driving with only a single DRL tonight because I couldn't see him and made a left turn. Next time I'm definitely positioning myself better in that turn lane to see what's coming, but I know I would have seen him with proper headlights on.

So what's the best way to deal with a guy who is so upset you won't make an unsafe right on a red that they get out of their car and approach you? I got lucky in this instance that the light turned green in the nick of time and nobody ran the red.

If they block your ability to safely proceed, call the police.

Been getting this a lot lately: I'll be the last in a line of cars, with one in front of me about two-three seconds. A car in the right lane sees they need to enter my lane. Rather than come off the gas for a few seconds and get in behind me where there is ZERO chance of cutting a car off or worrying about someone speeding up to block, a moron will speed up and jam themselves between me and the car in front. Usually this happens close to a traffic light when everyone is slowing or stopping. Also for the love of Christ people, full stops before you attempt a right turn on red.

I posted a variation on this on Twitter, regarding a man who had been ripping mirrors off cars and later attempted to rip someone's door off. Apparently "mental illness is no joke" and I'm a horrible person, but if you attempt to rip bits off my car, I don't really give a gently caress about the why.

A guy once aggressively cut me off (in stop and go traffic, no less) on my way home from work years ago. I flashed my brights and honked at him and thought that was that. Nope. A second later I see him reach into the back seat and then he's casually scratching the back of his neck with a handgun. I called the State Police, gave them his license plate number, vehicle and (from what I could see) physical description, current location, and then I got off at the next exit. A lot of people take themselves way too seriously.

I bet the people yelling at you have never been in a road rage situation. If someone is trying to destroy your car your thought will never be "talk them down" or "peacefully resolve the problem" no matter if they're insane or not. (Unless you want to get beat to a pulp or shot, I guess.)

Pretty sure if a dude in a rage is attacking my vehicle attempting to get to me, I'm going to use the closest weapon at my disposal (i.e. my vehicle) to defend myself/get away. This may result in the loss of human life.
