55mph road. Tractor/trailer at the stop light on the right waiting. Until I get close, then he pulls straight into the left lane. :wtf:

Driving home today on the main artery in my subdivision which has a 25 mph speed limit and has houses/driveways/etc on it. Doing 30 mph. A middle aged woman in a CUV passes me on the right in the bike lane and proceeds to drive up the hill at around 50 mph.

People are loving psychopaths.

I don't recall if I posted it here, but I can do better: a person passed my on the right in a parking lane while I was stopped for a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk in a residential area.

Luckily the pedestrian was proceeding from right to left.

in my experience this is more or less the norm in the lower 48 now. some places worse than others but it's commonplace.

Always add a little bit of a delay to the freshly switched green much to the annoyance of others if the opposing lanes do not have clear sight lines. This has prevented me from losing a limb if not worse countless times.

Where I lived before this had red light cameras everywhere so it wasn’t a common thing. Where I’m at now, not a single one and I’m also out in the countryside

what happens if you get in front of a self driving car and stop on the freeway (not brake check just slow down), is it smart enough to go around you?

I'm very stupid.
It's AI. So if the car looks like a BMW or Audi it probably works fine, this should have happened many times in their training data and the AI has learned it. But if the car is of a type that typically doesn't brake check, or if you are a cyclist, there'll probably be a crash :v:

Not quite the flying cars the Jetsons envisioned, but I guess we have to start somewhere.

Usually those trenches between highway sides are pretty wide and personally I'd prefer to deal with them rather than a single slab of concrete that I can get sandwiched between if something happens, when I was young I oversteered trying to dodge a truck tire I didn't notice in time and spun out on to one of those things, had plenty of room to get my car to stop without being in anyone else's way and only ended up with minimal damage (tires came off the rims/blew out, couple hoses tore). I still had like another 300 miles to go so after getting it towed to a random local garage I ended up sitting there for like 2-3 hours while the mechanic redid all the tires, fixed basically everything but couldn't quite get the power steering fluid hose sealed without waiting for a new part so I drove the rest of the way without it, I had like 400 bucks in my pocket and after all that the dude tried to only charge me like 50 or something, didn't realize until that moment just how different prices were in middle of nowhere West Virginia compared to a major city. Anyway that's my story about how I was the bad driver, I still miss that car sometimes.
