There are some times where the person directly in front of you clearly isn't causing the problem, but a horn is still necessary to get the message across to the person who is causing the problem and the second place won't do it themselves. That's the "Take this honk and pass it forward" honk.

Yeah, even if it's minor stuff like not stopping for a right on red other blowing through stop signs at the grocery, I can't think of a single day someone hasn't done something dumb/irritating.

Nocheez posted:There's a dog-bone double roundabout on my way to where I was going, and some idiot stopped completely in the circle where the people coming off the highway enter. I held my horn down the entire time until he decided to start moving again. In the past few years they've installed like three small roundabouts in my city, one at a very busy intersection. Conceptually it's a great idea but in practice about 20% of drivers are way too stupid to understand the simple concept and gently caress up the flow of traffic doing stupid poo poo like stopping in the middle of the roundabout. They've had to reconstruct the busy roundabout 2-3 times to add blinder fences and reduce the number of lanes because too many retarded people were crashing. The city decided to build a large elevated roundabout in a different part of the city and I saw this wonderful woman in the comments of a news article discussing it:  FIVE collisions in this roundabout lmao

This is how a roundabout works, right? Because it's what I saw happen this past weekend. I think the guy saw he was driving into oncoming traffic and just decided to drive around the island until traffic cleared so he could make his left turn.

My city has a bunch of roundabout looking things that are actually traffic circles (which under our law means that "normal" non-traffic circle yield laws apply). They're very poorly marked as this and they have accidents all the time. Not that this applies here, but I needed to eant about this poo poo. As an attorney, I had to email the city to get a straight answer as to wtf was going on, so lay people are just hosed.

I just got a call about a car driving into a building downtown. Knowing the building is a three story tall brick structure built in the turn of the century, I assumed it hit a wall and stopped. Well, it hit what was once its entrance and it wasn't as brick-y as the rest of it. Behold, a van in a boarded up building. Given the building's location (in front of a marked parking area downtown) I'm assuming it was a "I thought I was hitting the brake, not the gas!" situation. The van was backed out, ran fine, and all things considered, didn't sustain much damage.

Not always true, there's a few places around here that have signs stating that local police enforce the stop signs, and list an ordinance. Never seen them do it, but I wouldn't wanna risk it.

Parking lots are already full of people pulling out of spots, dipshits flooring it through lanes, tall-rear end trucks nobody can see over, and unpredictable pedestrians. Just stop completely and go slowly and don't contribute to the madness.

 I'm sorry I didn't take your state into account. I'm sure then, for the sake of your argument, that Smart cars are the only safe commuter car available within the range you're quoting?Because otherwise, what are you trying to sound righteous on?

Had some clueless idiot going 20 under on the highway in the middle lane last night. Caused a huge traffic clot and some of the more reckless drivers undertaking and overtaking trying to get back in th middle lane at the same time caused quit a few near misses and rage honks. It was a shitshow.

Apparently there were tons of accidents in my city yesterday because, gasp, there was light snow coming down! I didn't have any problem in a Mustang with all-seasons (I get the winters put on next week), so I'm not sure how these morons were causing so many accidents unless it was a complete failure to consider the possibility of slippery conditions. Just drive smoothly and increase following distance, it's not that difficult!

The other day a biker followed me into a store, very upset that I'd parked too close to her motorcycle. I was like ok, whatever, sorry because I had legitimately rolled forward further than intended (my brakes were making GBS threads out and my previous stop was at my mechanic to look at it) When I left I got curious enough to go look and this was the parking situation:  Maybe if you want a three foot radius of personal space around your harley, don't park five of them in one space, .001" inside the line.

So I'm sitting here listening to this little gas powered minibike go up and down my street. Up and down and up and down and up and down just loving non-stop. I finally look out when I hear someone yell "Heeeeey watch out there's a car coming" and it's this little 6-7 year old in a lovely helmet and a t-shirt/jeans combo, the adult female watching him is standing in the middle of the road with an off-leash pitbull. On a public street that has people routinely doing 50+ in a 25 on it.
