The entire United States is populated with drivers who for the most part barely have the skillset necessary to get where they're going without dying in a fiery crash. This is due to, like many failures of policy in this country, lack of education. Tired of people like Geoj not just derailing trains, threads, but left lane traffic too? Move to Germany, England or the Scandinavian countries where the drivers test is actually pretty hard and being a road user requires some commitment.

Sponge! posted:I think airbags/belts/etc have a lot to do with that... Darwin would be angry. You're right, and anyone who has driven in Northern Europe has seen the wonder that is immediate yielding regardless of speed, attention to lane space, signaling and all the other behaviors that "should" come natural. I'd like to see road rage rates, I think that would be useful data.

Geoj posted:So in those places, is it common practice to run into someone in the middle or right lane to clear the way for someone who comes up behind you at 25-30 over the posted limit who can't wait another 10-15 seconds for you to clear the slower-moving traffic? No, it's not necessary because they understand the basic necessity of respecting other road users, and the inherent dangers of not doing so. I realize it might be difficult to grasp this but the closing speed can be upwards of 75-100 MPH in some instances on the Autobahnen, necessitating looking behind you more than once in a great while and moving well before approaching vehicles reach you. It's not a case of you doing them a favor, you're doing yourself and everyone around you a service by not contributing to the wall of cars effect we have here in the states where each lane is going the same speed all the time, especially when it's avoidable in all but heavy traffic. Edit: quote:Basically, even if someone is in the act of passing in the left lane they should get the gently caress out of your way - even if it means causing an accident - because they're not passing fast enough for your liking...? How is this so difficult for you? Pay some loving attention to the traffic coming up behind you instead of being an arrogant little snot that has to impose his will upon other road users. Everyone else can figure it out. Try to imagine a closing speed like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHQKiTT6fak then tell me there would be constant car wrecks. There aren't because it doesn't happen, people actually respect other road users, and that's why it works. Your attitude is exactly why there are problems with driving in the US.

My original point was that there are inherent problems with the US interstate system and more specifically driver education in the US. For your specific scenario my point still stands, but the people going faster aren't always in the right either, tailgating at that distance isn't going to do anything especially since you're actually moving. Europeans generally will complete their pass as fast as possible, or just get out of the way when there's a gap. Germans do this to a point where it's almost comical how much effort they put into it. Here, too often it's the same situation but like meatpimp said, they're going literally half a mile an hour faster. I only wish the people blocking the left lane here were going 80. meatpimp: seppuku is the only answer for you now, go with God my son.

Seriously manufacturers....you know what cars you make that will end up being endlessly wrenched on in driveways and on the sides of race tracks. Throw us a bone here. BMW is kind enough to put big fat plastic jack pads at all four corners nowadays at least, although they don't include a jack, just a $40 can of nazi fix-a-flat and an electric pump which is actually pretty handy.

Here's the problem I have with this - cars that aren't meant to go fast are scary at the limit. Don't let that put you off wanting to learn to drive a fast car, or own one. Just because Joe Average doesn't have the sense not to drive a Murcielago on ice doesn't mean you can't drive fast. Also, some cars are easier to drive than others - a Viper is going to be much more of a handful at the limit compared to a Porsche Turbo or something similar.

Thailand has a similar crazy tax the poo poo out of every car scheme. Basically it just widens the gulf between rich and poor to the point where Thai police won't even pull over anyone driving a German or Italian car because they're afraid of being put on latrine duty as a result of offending some influential person.

No. But this was!    This was on the 190E 2.3-16 where the tard that owned it had completely removed the plastic water barrier in order to install his tyte stereo. I'm a bit disappointed I can't find the pic of the giant pile of redundant cables from multiple stereo installs.

Yeah pretty much, some dickhead cut a hole in the door and the door cards to fit his phat beatz speakers since the holes in the dash of the 190 were too small. There were 3 different power cables run through the car too from the battery to the amp. The battery terminal looked like a porcupine with all the abandoned power leads.

Like any emerging technology DBW had been badly implemented in a number of vehicles, and like any GM product it was badly implemented in nearly all of them that had it. DBW on engines with good software/hardware engineering gives excellent feel and control over throttle inputs. In cars that have multi-mode like e: happy?

I think that was more to do with a steel radial belt coming off a truck at highway speed and hitting someone in an open top car/motorcycle. Some of the more serious levels of tire related doom are aircraft tires.
