Three Olives posted:Anyways I just want to say that lane changing without using a turn signal should be a jailable offense, like WTF you have to move your finger like 3 inches, how do you not do this? Right? Like you don't even have to think about it but it's very useful in the whole "not loving people over" thing. I'm the most nervous driver in the world and this sort of stuff is still automatic for me

Tonetta posted:Never drive in a major city tia I never get people who only sometimes use their turn signals, etc. I mean aren't you actually distracting yourself from the other tasks of driving in order to think about whether or not your personal criteria for using them is met in this situation? "Hmm that car is a quarter of a mile back, and I'm squinting really hard and I'm pretty sure it's not cops, so no, I think I'll save the wear and tear on my bulbs this time. Yeah, that's like 0.000001c I've saved today, looking forward to retiring early!" But don't worry, when you're distracted by something else and you're not able to think through those criteria so you forget to use your signals despite the fact that there's actually a car near you, nervous drivers like Songbearer and I will notice you looking in your mirror or veering slightly toward them and go "oh, I'd better back off the gas, looks like another idiot who doesn't use their signals is about to cut me off", so you win  Don't worry, I win too, because I don't have to go to jail, and even though I don't have all that time in the yard to get beefy, I'm ripped from using the indicator stalk all the time.

Tonetta posted:You learn not to use a blinker in a city because all it indicates to other drivers is to speed up so you can't merge. But yeah you country pumpkins keep letting me know the right way to navigate traffic in the city I think it depends on the city. It seems to me like in bigger cities people realize that they often need other people to let them in, so they should reciprocate sometimes, and it's the smaller cities where people are assholes about merging. I don't remember having trouble in LA every time I hosed up and didn't realize that the big queue of traffic in the right lane was for the exit I wanted despite that exit being a few miles (and exits) away

of all cities ive driven in, miami is the worst, even in the Florida turnpike south of ft Lauderdale it’s a mess. As soon as I get into non toll roads I want combat pay even tho that’s not a thing at my company because holy poo poo old people,people who never lived here, people who are drunk, people who don’t need to be driving except they live in their cars, people who have to get to the next drug deal, people who just left the last drug deal, people who are loving wrecked out of their minds, all just driving somewhere and generally “somewhere “ means wherever the gently caress my car happens to be holy poo poo,I’m happier driving in New York near LaGuardia with all the construction than loving Miami

I think one of my least favorite cities to drive in is Philly because they barely upgraded the layout from when the streets were made for horses and it's an annoying mess where if you miss a turn at some points you're basically hosed and might as well add another 10-15 minutes onto your commute Which is why I generally just take the train in now and get a lyft

But yeah you country pumpkins keep letting me know the right way to navigate traffic in the city As a city dweller turn weakness into a strength. Once your turn signal has been on five seconds cutting left or right directly into someone is perfecyly legit and it'll gently caress them up worse than you. Your insurance will agree you weren't at fault because you properly signaled your intent.

I drive thru Boston all the time and I can definitely say no one ever looks for people not using their blinkers to smash the gently caress out of knowing that they'll be in the right legally. Absolutely not a single time has that happened, ever. Anyways, glad you didn't get hemmed up too bad, police suck.

I've never driven in the northeast, but the worst place I've ever driven is Nashville, TN. It gained an absurd number of new people and construction projects in the last few years, but didn't upgrade its lovely roads at all so there's traffic 24/7. They had a cool mayor who was going to fix it but she resigned after she got caught spending government funds while having an affair with the head of her security detail
