You're a more patient person than I because if I don't see them off the brakes within 2 seconds of a green light, they're getting the horn.

The rules don't go away, and in every state I lived in, an unbroken funeral procession has right of way. I can post the rules of the road booklets if you'd like. It's you who's the terrible driver. Edit: gently caress it. CTRL + F : "Funeral" IL MO xergm fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Nov 22, 2016 |

I'm usually not that patient but this particular intersection made it hard for me to see what takes place in the intersection itself. I decided to give the non-mover the benefit of the doubt and it bit me in the rear end.

I was raised in Wisconsin, spent a bunch of years in California, and now live in Texas. I haven't seen any here, but did in both WI and CA, but not very often. Now that I am thinking about it, I don't think I have seen one since the 90s, I do remember coming across a few in San Jose, but that was years ago. I think processions are becoming more rare, since non-traditional memorials are becoming more common, but I am too lazy to look up any statistics on that right now.

They also deliberately avoid high-traffic roads, so you wouldn't see them often anyway. It's extremely rare that one has to go very far on heavily traveled roads. Cemeteries aren't usually in business districts. These days families are also foregoing graveside services more, so there aren't as many. I've been in several. The funeral director gives you a purple pennant on a rod that sticks to your fender with a magnet. You have to keep your headlights on and stay close to the car in front of you. It's essentially a parade in memory of the deceased.

These are the people you share the tracks with.. I cannot believe this. Not the impact. Later, near the end. What kind of car is that? Why couldn't it achieve this feat before the train came? Craziest hit and run ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lph35AFnpQo maybe the DUI interlock wasn't working?

It looks like the car wasn't sitting right at the crossing, but on the tracks a bit off to the side where they are "regular railroad tracks". My guess is he tried to drive around the barriers and ended up stuck on one of the rails, with one of the front tires enough off the ground to have no traction.

Two different idiots today, seems like the holidays bring all the retarded drivers out of the woodwork to make traveling that much more difficult. Got into work OK, and had to drive to our secondary site to help with a server outage. On my way there, a guy in a white CR-V is driving wildly and swerving among lanes, then decides to get right on my bumper. I'm already in a company car and have my cruise set to the same pace as traffic around me, driving in the middle lane of a 5 lane interstate, and everyone is doing around 70 and literally nobody can move right or left. Dude flashes his brights at me, I can't do anything about it but I can see an opening coming up - pull into the right lane when it's clear, wait for rear end in a top hat to pass me, he gets the finger and starts raging out against the driver who was in front of me. Took the next exit and went on my way. On the way back from our secondary site, another guy in a little Kia sedan is hauling rear end, rides my bumper and speeds around me, cutting off the guy that was in the left lane. Hauls rear end further up until he hits what amounts to a rolling roadblock, rides another car's bumper for a mile or so, then gets over to the right one lane. Apparently he needs to get over one more lane to the right, so he puts on his blinker but there's a lady in a small SUV that isn't having it and keeps blocking him out. Instead of taking the safer, more sane route of slowing a bit and merging behind her (where there was a solid 4-5 car lengths of room), he keeps his blinker on and then swerves his car toward her, causing her to swerve to the shoulder, panic brake and almost cause an accident. Both were assholes but the Kia dude kept hauling and did almost the same thing to another driver further up the road that didn't do what *he* wanted them to do. 911 and local police dispatch got a call about that one, guy was going the same way I was headed and I was able to stick behind a bit and give the exact place he turned off. gently caress that cocksucker and his recklessness, hope he dies slowly in a fiery wreck alone in the middle of a winter blizzard.

Years ago I was teaching at a high school in Indiana. It started snowing hard one day, and by the time we were out it was full blizzard, white-out conditions. On the road, we were all going caravan style - about 35 miles an hour, staying just close enough to the car in front to keep its taillights in sight so you knew where the road was. Some clown decided that was too slow for him and swung to pass the long line of cars. He ended up in a corn field. In his mania to get home five minutes faster he ran head on into a snowplow coming at him in the other lane.

The video says so, but the final still of the video has the back of the bumper next to what looks like a cop. Maybe a failed h&r. He wasn't getting far as he left his plates at the scene.

Deteriorata posted:Years ago I was teaching at a high school in Indiana. It started snowing hard one day, and by the time we were out it was full blizzard, white-out conditions. A few years ago I had one of these on the highway, two of the three lanes were reasonably cleared but the fast lane was still covered in snow and traffic's moving about 40 MPH in the two cleared lanes. Some guy in a Blazer decides he can go faster in the snowy lane, gets about 500 feet in front of me and pulls a perfect 360 before ending up on the shoulder. A few minutes later after presumably changing underpants he's passing me again doing the same thing and disappears off in to the distance. Another few minutes later the Blazer is upside down in the median.

I was always taught that in a parking lot, if you see someone backing out, you stop and let them go. You know, if the car is moving, or their rear end is out of the space and into the aisle. Since moving to California, I have never had so many close calls in my life, with my rear end half out into the aisle and people blowing by at high speeds through narrow gaps. Holy poo poo its terrifying.

Still, if you know or suspect someone is passing behind you while you're backing out of a parking space, it's your responsibility to stop.

"Hey, someone's backing out, better drive/*walk* on through behind him as quick as I can, see if I can score some insurance payout!" This is in addition to backing out of driveways into actual loving traffic, of course.

Still, if you know or suspect someone is passing behind you while you're backing out of a parking space, it's your responsibility to stop. Generally, I'm in my little Subaru, surrounded on both sides by huge walls of SUVs or pickups. Backing in and pulling out forward doesn't offer much help due to the massively long front overhang on these cars. Otherwise, I'm in my huge wall-like SUV with fancy wide angle rear camera and cross traffic alert. But the people around here drive so fast through the lots, by the time you hear the "beep beep beep," you're already dead.

For me, it's all contextual. Parking lots? I'm careful as gently caress. People do all sorts of stupid inattentive things in a parking lot. Backing out from a driveway onto a public street? Sorry, you're supposed to yield to traffic when pulling out of a driveway.

Or you could just back in instead of out and then you'll have good visibility for when you're pulling into traffic.
