precision posted:we need to end the charade of speed limits. i have literally never been pulled over for going 5 over the limit Neither have I (I've been pulled over for speeding many times but never for less than 11 over), but one of my friends was recently pulled over for doing exactly 5 over. It's possibly unrelated, but he happens to be Mexican.

if you can find one, uh, in the trash or whatever, slapping a pizza delivery topper on your car is a great way to avoid ever getting pulled over for anything, ever, unless you gently caress up and speed or w/e so like if you were hypothetically driving cross town with a bunch of drugs just slap that Pizza Hut signage on your roof and do the speed limit and you will never get pulled over veiled boner fuel posted:Neither have I (I've been pulled over for speeding many times but never for less than 11 over), but one of my friends was recently pulled over for doing exactly 5 over. It's possibly unrelated, but he happens to be Mexican. oof, yeah, possibly! cops will pull over nonwhites for stupid poo poo like "didn't use turn signal even though nobody was around"

a friend of mine once got pulled over for using a store parking lot as a turn lane and ended up with like 20 tickets bc she had a suspended license and a broken tail light and all kind of poo poo don't gently caress with johnny law ed: to be fair, the cop totally could have taken her to jail and had her car towed and it's a miracle he didn't

veiled boner fuel posted:Yeah that poo poo sucks. Occasionally it happens in a way that's kinda unforeseeable but 99% of the time it's just people being being idiots or assholes. I was gonna say most places like that will have a double solid yellow where legally you can't turn left because no one should be stopping traffic for that poo poo but after a brief google apparently you totally can completely stop traffic as long as you want to turn left over double yellows, who knew.

stop signs sure but if it's 3 AM and there's literally nobody around you shouldn't get a ticket for not signalling that you're turning into the taco bell drive thru

a bone to pick posted:maybe I didn't explain myself properly: i know better when i see a gap in traffic, you have to treat that gap like a stop sign and look both ways but some poor junior cyclist just got smoked in exactly this situation, lots of cars lined up and hes passing them on the outside, as you do, but he comes up to a gap just like you described and lo and behold went through at full gas, which can be for someone fit on a racing bicycle like probably 35+ kph, and got hit by a car who was crossing through the gap as far as i know he was found at fault so hes attempting to sue the city for improper signage, but good luck with that, i feel bad but, dude, when ur on two wheels you gotta take triple caution in circumstances like that part of riding on two wheels is understanding that yeah you can get away with a lot, but you also have to watch the gently caress out for exactly this kind of situation. numberoneposter fucked around with this message at 10:11 on May 25, 2018 |

I think we should make a list of journalists who publish fake news about Tesla and other car companies. I'm tired of these safety justice warriors trying to ruin cars and innovation. I just want to drive a car and have fun without being forced to think about some guy getting injured in an assembly line that was probably his own fault #Drivergate

the horrendous driving in houston can probably be attributed to the wonderfully budgeted texas public education system because I've driven all over the country for years and I've never encountered a greater number of people that: - are completely unable to understand the concept of merging within the flow of traffic - routinely drive 20+ mph under the speed limit on interstate highways - hang out in the fast lane and box in other cars behind them by matching speeds with the car to their right, loving it up for everyone and backing poo poo up for miles - avoid using turn signals because maybe they think the clicking noise is breaking something in their cars, idk - have panic attacks at even the suggestion they might have to know how to react at a four-way stop with other cars - navigate traffic circles like blind, armless toddlers - take 15 minutes to park their  BIG TEXAS FORD TRUCK because they have no idea where their vehicle begins or ends- will drop their speed 30 to 40 mph less at the first sign of rain, even if it's a passing light shower because wheels have no grip and cars are known to flip over and slide the moment you attempt to turn the wheel slightly (they'll also do this in their BIG TEXAS FORD TRUCK despite it being clearly able to handle inclement weather) you'd think a city with people that are like "houston was a city built around driving" would actually be able to drive but lol nope, i know everyone complains that the worst drivers are in [where person lives] but I will put money down that unless you're near LA or Atlanta, you won't see it get much worse than this dumb city, take every bad driving habit you've seen and just fuckin combine all of them into one mess and you have houston compared to here, merging on to the jersey turnpike is like exiting the pit stop at a formula one race

Good soup! posted:the horrendous driving in houston can probably be attributed to the wonderfully budgeted texas public education system because I've driven all over the country for years and I've never encountered a greater number of people that: Atlanta traffic isn't that bad, really. Well the traffic is bad, but the driving is pretty good. Most people have had enough experience sitting on 400/285/85/whatever they they're generally relatively courteous. And people tend to know where they're going and what lane they should be in, so not a ton of weaving/merging poo poo going on either. Of course there are exceptions, millions of people drive in Atlanta every day, but while it's bad it's really not quite as bad as it's made out to be.

LOVE LOVE SKELETON posted:when you need to turn left across two lanes of traffic, and someone stops in one of the lanes to “let you go”. there’s still another lane i gotta wait for, and now you’re wasting everyone’s time. While delivering pizzas 14 years ago, I saw someone get T-boned hard because they got waved through by one driver in one lane but the other lane kept going 45. Anyone else basically watch one person gently caress over at least 2 other people for life? Fuuuuck

The only person you should be waving ahead of you is a pedestrian on the crosswalk if the street's quiet and you're not in a rush to turn.

im the guy who drives up on a green even though there are already stopped cars out in the middle of the intersection who blocks an entire lights worth of parallel traffic. im also the guy who sees an empty merge lane and a bunch of cars lined up next to it and says aloud to myself "oh yeah ill just cut the gently caress in front of all these waiting people by driving to the end of this lane and shoving through everyone else waiting for the light" and crashes in a 2 lane, 25 mph city street.
