Someone swung wide from the far left turn lane to the outside left turn lane and cut off the Charger ahead of me. They were immediately lit up and pulled over. I think that's the fastest infraction to pullover I've ever witnessed. To be clear, the blue Charger was Colorado State Police.

For some reason I live for correcting people making wide right turns. It gets me off. I don't know why. I love finding a double right turn lane setup at an intersection, I take the left lane possible, and make my legal right turn only to have the guy on the inside swing wide into my lane EVERY loving TIME. So I lay on the horn, watch them jerk their wheel everywhere. I don't know, its satisfying to me. So the other day I did the same thing, laid on my horn, the dude got mad and pulled around to my driver side at the next light "so whats up, man? " "There are two right turn lanes, you swung wide into mine" "well, the left most lane eventually has to turn, so everyone has to swing wide" "no, that's not how that works, its illegal to swing wide on a right" "you have to swing wide" "no dude" "gently caress OFF" *drives off* It felt good. Here's the offramp:  And I was laughing about the excuse that everyone needs to turn wide since the inner lane basically becomes a forced turn. And uh, if I've never been there, how would I know???? But lets humor him and see how quick that forced turn comes up:  LOL

They actually teach in driver's ed now to never turn with someone next to you because they will invariably take your lane. You intentionally slow down or speed up to stagger the spacing for when some dildo does it.

If I'm in the outside lane on one of these I just turn wide by default. Especially on one that is really poorly laid out that dumps people into a right turn only lane that ends in just over a tenth of a mile.

They re-painted a couple of roundabouts by work a solid 3 years ago now and at least once a week I watch someone cut across from the outside lane into the inside one despite there being two very clearly marked lanes round it.

Literally Lewis Hamilton posted:Gonna get hit and have to deal with insurance or a hit and run driver for the lulz Exactly this. Gonna burn a shitload of time and potentially money, not to mention if its a vehicle you've put actual effort into all for the sake of being 'right'. Have fun replacing said vehicle in 2021 too. Driving went to poo poo with covid. I understand how maddening lovely piss poor drivers are. Try to figure out what idiots are gonna do before they do it then get the gently caress out of their way. Put them up front, get them off your rear end or sides. Let them go find the scene of the accident but keep yourself out of it. Turning lane drift is a classic fuckup and its about as common as suv owners overestimating their vehicle's abilities in snow.

Just the other day I was in the right lane and the person to the left of me turned right. They were not in a turn lane AND my lane had the option of going straight. Luckily I was turning too or I would have t-boned them.

There is an intersection in my hometown where one direction is four lanes at controlled intersection arranged: ⬅️⬅️⬆️➡️ 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣ One time in 2 right at the stop light turning left and the car in 3 at the stop line decided to also turn left. It was a great feeling having to slow down just enough not to be sideswiped but not too much to be rear ended.

At some point you have to accept a given intersection was just designed extremely poorly if that many people are pulling dumb moves at it compared to other intersections around town. Not that you can do anything about it other than being on higher lookout for people doing the predictable fuckups. (not talking about waffle iron's post, but in genearl) My "favorite" around here is set up like this:  Guess how many people come out of the gas station in the lower right and then either try to get into the left turn lane(for the northbound lane, to go west) or just turn left to go south. Across several lanes of traffic going anywhere between 40-50mph. With northbound traffic jockeying to get into the left non-turn lane because it merges down into that one lane just past the light. And if the light for north/south is red, traffic is generally backed up at least to that smaller street just south of the gas station. I'm surprised more people don't get t-boned there but I'm guessing everyone who lives around here is on the lookout for it.

Deeters posted:Same reason we end up with people diving across the gore point or reversing up the freeway. There's definitely people that will only drive the exact same way back from wherever they went to because they have no sense of direction at all, and a simple change like leaving a gas station on the north side instead of the east side would completely gently caress them up. I personally know people like this that have lived in my area for years. Don't even get me started on people that can't understand a simple grid system, or even the concept of North, South, East and West.

There is a gas station nearby which has 4-5 islands with a large convenience store, an A&W with drive thru and the cherry on top - a fairly large full service sit down restaurant attached to it. All with a single entrance/exit on a busy road that is about 50' from major controlled highway intersection  Oh yeah, you have to drive either through or around the pump islands to get to the restaurant. I am not sure how this design got approved. They shouldn't even allow left hand turns out of it - it's a disaster. You'll get one chucklefuck who'll insist on turning left to get out during rush hour which will back everyone up in the parking lot for like 10 minutes. Of course they could turn right and, you know, go around the block (or any other multitude of ways) but refuse to do it because MUST TURN LEFT. slidebite fucked around with this message at 14:42 on Jun 9, 2021 |

The cheapest gas in town is at one of the busiest intersections and some days the only good I accomplish is stopping someone from trying to pull out across 3 lanes of traffic blindly

We have a double left turn I have to take a lot about a mile from our house and the number of people who cut the corner when turning from the outside lane is infuriating. People on the inside lane also tend to put 1/2 to a full car length into the opposing lane when they cut the corner.

I'm a fan of left turn lanes having a stop line car length set back from the adjoining lane. And even then you see the wear lines on road have worn away a part of the setback stop line.

Near my house is an intersection with one road having 6 lanes in both directions (2L, 3 straight, 1 straight and right). I need to turn right to go home. Turn on red is allowed but because you can also go straight many cars do that and block turning on red. Technically legal. Here is the thing though. Very often the right turn lane will be dozens of cars long and it will take multiple cycles to get through. The 3 straight lanes are always much shorter... sometimes even just 1 or 2 cars. But people going straight will sit in the far right lane for multiple cycles while people to their left zip by. And it's not like they need to turn just beyond the light... there is tons of space to change lanes after the light before any major business. I hate all those people. It's like they want to spite us right turners on purpose.

(If she is actually disabled, I apologize) Honestly there's nothing more American (or Canadian and possibly Australian) that driving a mile or less.

Unfortunately, with the way many towns are set up, being a pedestrian is basically a self harm risk. Take this town in Alabama I was in recently. As you can see, the hotel I was staying at (with the pin on it) is less than a quarter mile from that Target across the street. However, this road is a major thoroughfare, and the pedestrian crossings are roughly a half mile apart on either side of the shopping center, and they're very poorly set up. I learned the hard way that the crossing to the southeast only gives you enough time to cross from one side to the middle before you lose the crosswalk sign, AND the "push to cross" button in the middle island is non functioning. Additionally, since the parking lot is paved with asphalt and it was a clear as sunny day, I ruined a perfectly good pair of sneakers because they melted, even though the ambient temperature was only 75°F/24°C. I was there on a business trip, and thought I could get away with just using a cab to go to and from the airport, and walk everywhere else. After three days, I called my boss and begged for approval of a rental car on an expense report.

I have a double left but it goes from 2 lanes into 4. There are very clear dashed lines showing left lane goes to 1&2 and right lane to 3&4. I use the left lane to go to lane#2. It's basically a coin toss if someone in the right lane tries to turn into me.
