Junk posted:taken the left where? into the concrete barrier? it is a single lane that only goes in one direction. you don't put your signals on to indicate your intention to continue following the ONLY loving WAY the road goes do you judge people who don't signal when they should harder than you judge people who signal when they don't need to, or are you just like a bull with a red flag whenever you see that blinking light

People who get any strong emotions whilst behind the wheel ought to be banned from driving forever. You wouldn't drive drunk, don't drive enraged.

You know, a lot of times those single-lane off-ramps with concrete barriers are pretty tight turns, too, I know the merge between I-85 SB and I-285 EB in Atlanta is like that. You signal your intent to exit, but then the turn is so sharp your wheel never returns to center enough to trip the signal stalk to off. I judge people who rage out about dumb poo poo.

I’m confused, cause aren’t they probably just signaling because they signaled to get off the highway, which you should be doing anyways, and the blinker is still just going because they haven’t turned yet?

You wouldn't drive drunk, don't drive enraged. its easy to avoid drinking before driving. it's hard not to feel a strong emotion when someone else's actions endanger your life or your family's life. i don't get enraged every time i see someone do something stupid, i dont have that kind of energy, but if you drive a lot you will see people do some seriously egregious poo poo and sometimes you cant help being pissed off when you see it Earwicker fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Jul 22, 2022 |

One day some rear end in a top hat is going to pull in front of me when they clearly have no room to accelerate appropriately to catch up to traffic and I'm going to be too depressed to react and brake

You signal your intent to exit, but then the turn is so sharp your wheel never returns to center enough to trip the signal stalk to off. You're allowed to turn off the signal yourself once it's no longer appropriate to be signaling. The automatic cutoff is just a convenience, and one that's helpful a lot of the time. But it can't see the road. You don't have to blindly obey it and leave your signal on for half a minute after you've made the turn/exit you were indicating, just because the road happens to curve in such a way that the wheel hasn't quite reached the return-to-center threshold yet. I'm on Junk's side here.

My fridge bulb burned out for the first time in my life, and I've been around awhile. It is hard to locate things in a dark fridge, and there are special appliance bulbs. They come in two different types. This has been your mostly useless Butcher lesson for the day.

Gomez Chamberlain posted:I don't think either of you should be driving then. So to summarize, you don't think it's correct to turn off the turn signal once you complete the maneuver that it's indicating. We should just leave it blinking as we continue on down the road. Makes perfect sense.

Look, if you're focused on making sure you maintain lane when there's a concrete wall to your left or right and traffic all around you, I'm gonna give you a pass if you don't manually flip your signal off, I'm just glad you used it. If you want to get all ragey about it that's your problem but maybe you should talk to someone.

men always seem to drive directly toward me and expect me to move for them. their signals are on the entire time but they're driving straight at me. i've adopted a habit of just not moving out of the way and crashing directly into them. women, children, elderly drivers, sure, but never men

(is Gomez Chamberlain) doot-da-doo, here I am driving down this single lane one way road that curves slightly to the right, i better signal to the right so nobody thinks i'm going to veer left and crash into the barrier, which is such a regular occurrence where i'm from apparently, that if I see someone with their signals off nowhere near anywhere they could conceivably turn, merge or change lanes, I can only assume that they intend on crashing their car. boy it sure is great being a contrarian excessively charitable devils advocate fuckin goober on gbs, i cant wait to get home and post all about it

No, I don't think you should be driving because you're obviously a little rage monster behind the wheel if a little, underused flashing light bothers you enough to engage on this for two pages.

i wasn't even referring to leaving the blinkers on after a merge, althought that's annoying too, i meant putting them only solely for a curved road. here's a map of what i'm even talking about : this is the same road my photo from earlier is from
