I feel like the only stat you'd need is average speed compared to known responsible drivers in the same area. Every single outcome an insurance company would care about has got to be perfectly predictable on that alone.

Pretty sure they aren’t going to up your rates over a few instances of emergency braking. If you are maxing out the lateral accelerometer a few times on every trip though then you should be paying more for your bad driving.

Imagine spending 100k on a huge truck + mods to enable you to roll coal just so you can make other people's lives worse. I cannot fathom the mindspace for that. Like, I sort of get how trolling can be enjoyable, lord knows I did enough of that as kid. But, like, don't you have to actually see the other person get mad to get a kick out of it? And I just cannot believe anyone gets $100k worth of enjoyment out of intentionally making others miserable.

So no one obeys the stop signs and like 25% of the people using the round about just dont really know how to use it and will literally drive the wrong way while taking a left around one. also they're just kind of randomly placed on the roundabouts and most of them have chunks taken out where people just drove over them - or launched over them. I truly wish I was exaggerating when I say - i've almost never seen anyone come to a full and complete stop at a stop sign in my neighborhood outside of the turn onto the 4 lane busy street. All the interior ones are like ... people maybe lightly tap their brakes.

there's a roundabout right outside my neighborhood with yield signs, but the circular part in the middle isn't raised which means a lot of people just blow through it and drive right over the middle without slowing down. and then there's the people who come to a complete stop at the yield sign when there's nobody else coming from the other direction and just kind of sit there for a while. they're not as bad but they sure do gently caress up the traffic flow. cars are uniquely designed to make people insane and bring out the worst impulses of individualism.

Just a zone of misery that follows them around that they have devoted a house's worth of cash toward intentionally.

The Quezon City government is building elevated, protected bike lanes along the two-kilometer length of the QC Circle and I'm pretty excited. That could be, like, a prime target for attempting a century.

All way stops are the norm anywhere I've ever lived because no one understands roundabouts or cross streets that don't also stop. I moved to a house on an intersection where only cross streets stop and people seriously don't understand it, they roll right through the sign with oncoming cross traffic they expect to stop. e: Behold God's most wonderful all way stop, four lanes with two lane crossing and nobody knows what the gently caress they're supposed to do:

Every other cross street being a stop sign rather than all 4-way stops has been the residential neighborhood norm pretty much everywhere I’ve ever lived As for roundabouts- as a pedestrian and a jogger I dislike them because cars seem far less aware that somebody is crossing, as a cyclist and a driver they’re fine I think

I feel like flashing red stop light is better than a stop sign, I think (no evidence to support this) people are less likely to run a flashing red stop light than a stop sign, since running a red light seems worse than running a stop sign.

Just a zone of misery that follows them around that they have devoted a house's worth of cash toward intentionally. My running theory is that it's just the dudes who have huge rear end commutes (because they live somewhere dumb having spent all their money on an identity affirming mega truck); spending hours commuting every day has turned their life into hours of misery, and given their generally unsound emotional health that lead to the purchase of the pedestrian murder mobile, the one coping mechanism they have access to is to try to punch down at the people who irritate them on the road.

Not sure if it was a coal-rolling-modded engine or just a really loud turbocharger, but I was riding the motorcycle on the 401 one time and this huge lifted pickup with an ATV in the back ripped past me and it legitimately sounded like a fighter jet engine, it was so loud it cut right through the wind noise and startled me.

So I moved into an end cap home in an HOA from a rental company in Florida, And surprise parking is now an issue. We live in on a street that dead-ends with our house basically, With an additional 3-4 feet of roadway. Since we’re normal people and have stuff in our garage can only fit 1 car inside as well as my motorcycle. 2 in the drive way, And leaving one parked in front of our house on said 3-4 feet of roadway. Suddenly we started getting notices of the HOA rules about parking… that no one is allowed to be parked on the street overnight. Okay… found an elegant solution of parking my work van sideways behind the other 2 cars since I’m first out in the morning, No biggie. Now they’ve placed a tow away sign on the fencing that encompasses the neighborhood, right in front of my home. I tried to speak to the president of the HOA but shockingly he wasn’t amendable to a compromise, Acting to put it blatantly like a douche bag. The sign says tow away zone 24/7… where my guests would park… this feels slightly targeted. I also was never given a copy of the HOA rules when I signed the lease ( My stupidity I know) but I also never signed/agreed to them either. I’m a tenant not an owner. So am I not allowed to have guests over anymore? I couldn’t find any clear definition of what the “zone” constitutes or if it’s a radius within the sign, Only information I found was about the Florida statue on it.
