I know the flag wasn't out for the first guy but he definitely lived up to the image when he ripped his own wheel off and littered the track with suspension nuggets while attempting to drive away with dignity.

What's up with the maroon one? It looked like he had the slide but then... target fixation right into the barrier?

Isn't rule number one at any race track "don't exit your car until track safety crews give you clearance?"

In any case, standing on the track, and not, at least, behind the barrier is pretty spectacularly stupid. Anyway, from a video on the same channel:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM8ray8nBzY&t=521s

They do one of two things. They generate a report for their own insurance purposes or whatever, or they let you tow your car away from the 'ring so you can claim it happened on some country road. If it was the US and your insurance company found a video of your wreck you'd have some problems, like what happened to the driver of this Skyline GTR back in 2009. There is a mountain road known as GMR in Los Angeles, short for Glendora Mountain Road. Races there every night, no cellular service, and wrecks at least every other night. Spectacular ones, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXKUd8oCKSQ This guy wrecks at 2:00 after chasing an Evo, and he claimed the car was stolen. The insurance company found this video and the guy was sued.

That's such a dumb thing to lie about too. They'd have covered him (he was on a public road) without the fraud. Yeah, his insurance would have gone up a bit, but now he's gently caress and possibly criminally charged.

Heavy fog all the way in to work today, and I take back roads/county highways. So many cars with no lights on at all, or just with their parking lights on. There were a few times I had to turn on to a 55mpg limit road and just hoped I wasn't about to die due to getting t-boned by some chucklehead in a ghost car.

Just got home from a short ride on my motorcycle. Last leg of the highway home, right before my exit maybe two miles, I'm coming up the far left lane doing maybe 80 and there's a Toyota Avalon doing the speed limit ahead. I flick my high beams twice as a "hey can I get by here," he had plenty of space to move over (There was a car I was passing in the middle lane, but as far up as he was it was clear) but instead he waits until I get closer... and stands on his brakes and flips me off. Closer being another four or five seconds back with two open lanes to the right, so I just go around him, but still. Still. What a jagoff.

Chances are he probably doesn't know or give a poo poo about the whole "keep left except to pass" thing, I wouldn't get bent out of shape about idiots being idiots.

Minto Took posted:Some people take it very personal when you ask them to move over. Road culture in the US states that any kind of signal, be it horn or high beams, is an aggressive insult. That's not hard and fast in all areas, like horns in NYC are completely meaningless, but in general any kind of signal is equivalent to flipping someone off. Compare to someplace like the autobahn where flashing headlights is a useful warning that something really fast is coming up behind you. Slow car moves over, fast car blows by, no one's offended. It really comes down to the same point as always: driver education in the US is loving garbage.

xzzy posted:driver education in the US lol education. Every day on my commute to work I count cars that should be using a turning signal vs cars that are using their turn signals. The ratio is usually 40/60. Now that the day light hours are getting fewer again, I'll be expecting to see lots of drivers without lights on in the dark. Potential bias disclaimer: I got two driver's licenses (small motorcycles & cars) in Germany and a standard DL with an expired motorcycle endorsement here in the US. The 'education' involved in getting those licenses in the US is trivial in comparison. It's mind-blowing that I don't see more idiots dying every day.

Need to figure out who at ATT to send this link to so they can see how much attention their employee pays to driving in the neighborhood... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJHqHOq8wvI Edit: Sent it to their Facebook account.

Everyone knows that that’s how flashing headlights is perceived, so only dickheads flash headlights.

wayfinder posted:In my (driving in Germany for 20 years) experience the flashing headlights are a) only used by complete assholes b) definitely used in an aggressive manner c) understood as such. It depends wether you use them at 2000m to signal you're going 300+ kph, or using them at 2m to signal you're an rear end in a top hat. I really prefer if fast cars signal their coming.

My friend gets annoyed when people refuse to stay to the right on normal city streets, which I find funny. That's highway rule, and you don't even follow it dude. e: You're right, its the law in FL too, highway or no. Huh. sleepy.eyes fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Sep 21, 2016 |

AFAIK it actually applies to any multi lane road, at least in my state. On surface streets people seem to mostly ignore it though and really who cares at that point, the limit's like 35 or something. Also I witnessed a miracle this morning, a state police officer on i495 pulled over an oblivious octogenarian who had been blocking the left lane with a dozen people stacked up behind them. He had to bully his way through them all to get to the troublemaker and I figured he'd just push them over with his lights too and then keep on cruising at 90-110 like they all do... but I was wrong.

One thing that irks me the most is people cutting over at the exit. Not a 1/4 mile from the exit like if a person didn't know the area, but right where the exit branches off the highway. Yes, there was a line and you're not some special snowflake.

I've started noticing a new trend when there's two left turn lanes where people on the outside lane will cut across to the inside lane midway through the turn. Everyone making a left turn always drifts to the rightmost lane these days, it's a stupid choice but it happens one trillion times a day so it's worthless to argue about. But starting wide and turning into the left lane? What the gently caress people?
