loving guy in my neighbourhood with some custom orange cruiser and what must be open pipes since it's absurdly loud, sounds like a loving wet fart when he keeps gunning the throttle at stop lights. WE GET IT.

This is about people who cannot loving drive. Here's an intersection I use when I ride to work, the red arrow is just to show North:  I'm coming from the south on Bathurst St. It has 4 lanes, two direction, and an advanced green to turn left on to Adelaide St. Adelaide St. is one way, 4 lanes going East. Driving by the manual, the people like me heading south and turning onto Adelaide should use their nearest curb lane. The people heading north and turning onto Adelaide should also use their nearest curb lane. If people ACTUALLY did this, a lot of cars could get to where they're going and there would be no problem. What actually happens is that drivers on both directions try to turn into the nearest middle lane, causing mass confusion as it looks like they're going to hit each other. This holds up both turn lanes and fucks everything up. JFC learn to loving drive!

In my own experience, people can't drive, people in SUVs really can't drive, and people in luxury SUVs really can't loving drive. When I see an X5, I know to leave a wide margin especially now that I work right in the financial district.

Sagebrush posted:How the hell do people drive around in the pitch blackness of daylight savings evenings without realizing their headlamps are off? And why they hell don't they think "hey, that motorcyclist waving like crazy and flashing his headlight must be trying to get my attention", instead of just cruising blissfully off into the dark? DST ends in the autumn. People drive around here in the dark at all times of the year with their lights off. I don't get it. And then there are the jagoffs on their raised 4x4s who drive around with their brights and foglights on. Not sure which is worse.

Overheard yesterday on the streetcar: "Yeah, my (bicycle) frame is cool. I like to keep it totally minimal, no fenders, no extra parts. It's totally lightweight. But I can't carry anything on it at all! Or wear a skirt, because it's a man's frame. It sucks!" loving hipsters.

gently caress taxi drivers, now and forever. Was out on Saturday in the left track of the curb lane, right blinker on, stopped at the stop sign, making sure the lane ahead was clear before I did my turn, and once again some idiot hell fucker taxi driver splits my lane and the bike path to turn in ahead of me. It's bad enough getting stuck behind one downtown where they suddenly change lanes or stop without warning.

PhoenixWing posted:Was coming home for lunch today, and passed the same construction site I do everyday right next to my home. One of their work trucks was waiting to turn left across my lane. Two lanes in both directions, and a big centre divider in the middle. He's looking right at the two approaching cars coming from the other side, and doesnt see me, so, I start slowing down figuring he's going to pull out on me. The two cars pass, and he looks back to the left, and I swear he looks right at me (I'm ~100ft at this point) and pauses, so, I start to speed up again. And then he pulls right out in front of me, gets half way, and panic stops as he sees me (I think his buddy in the passenger seat freaked out, saw waving as he pulled out) blocking both lanes. I've been riding for 4 months now and have never been so happy that I practiced panic braking on this bike. Managed to stop with about 10 feet to spare. When he looked over, you should've flashed your headlight or given a wave or something, since at that point you were expecting him to go, and you had already slowed down expecting him to go. For example, if I'm coming to an intersection and the light's gone yellow and I'm slowing to stop, if there's someone coming toward be wanting to turn left and they're already in position, I'll flash my headlight to tell them to go, since they can't tell if I'm going to try to blast through or not.

Best (or worst, however you want to look at it) thing I ever saw was up north, on a 2 lane road, double yellows, with a bicycle lane. Guy in front of me crosses over the DY to avoid a bicyclist square in the middle of their separated lane.
