I generally find when I’m driving in a place opposite my home that I’m okay while traveling because I’m hyper vigilant. It’s the first day or two when I come back home after a week away that I have partially overwritten reflexes getting me in trouble if I don’t pay attention.

Zero One posted:Nah I totally believe that she could have missed it if she was on a rampage to jump out and yell at them. "I am afraid these men in the truck behind me wish to do me harm so I will get out of my metal box with drive wheels and walk up to them." I wouldn't be surprised either way.

Both those cars were about five minutes from an exit where they could turn around, no jack moves were necessary. Midjack fucked around with this message at 04:04 on Jun 11, 2021 |

ryanrs posted:About a year ago I called up Vision Engineering and arranged for their traveling salesman to give a demo at my tiny startup the next time they were in my city. We did not have a direct business reason to buy a 3D inspection microscope. But on the other hand, are you really a cool tech R&D lab without a fancy-pants microscope on your bench? We had a couple of these in the lab at oldjob and they're amazing. Strong recommend if you do any work where you have to look at small things.

Large Testicles posted:We have an exit similar to this in my town but I've never seen or even heard of anyone loving up this badly on it. This particular one is right under the Washington State Convention Center and you get a lot of people from out of town taking it and finding out the hard way about the speed limit.

In Tennessee we had Petros, Love's, and Flying J. Every region has its own interstate highway truck stop brands but they're all the same idea.

carry on then posted:Several times while walking around neighborhoods I've seen trucks parked on driveways that are so long the truck completely blocks the sidewalk. I've also seen trucks lifted so high the top of the cab doesn't fit in the garage so they back the bed in and leave the rest hanging out. I get the exciting variation on this where they back in until the rear wheels touch and the bed blocks the entire loving sidewalk.

SlowBloke posted:Not to sound like an rear end in a top hat but at least here in Italy, cyclist are supposed to look left/right BEFORE approaching the intersection, not while in it, also they should respect vehicles signaling lights if they don't have a dedicated lane. It would make his case pretty shaky in courts, likely rejected as a 50/50 responsibility share with the vehicle hitting him. From a sheer self preservation standpoint checking both ways before you run a red light on a bicycle is a really good idea!

Easychair Bootson posted:I think it was someone in this thread who said that their reaction to road ragers is to smile and wave as if the person just paid you a compliment. I unintentionally did this today (I thought the other driver was a friend messing with me) and it's far better than the alternative. I thought this person was lost so I slowed down and lowered my window to help and was met with "what are you doing?!" I think his passenger was confused when I acted like he was an old pal that I hadn't seen in a while. Highly recommended. Rolling an occupant's window down is the immediate precursor to hanging a gun out the side and blasting so read the room before you do this, you may be shot or rammed if the other car's occupants are aggressive and/or paranoid and the driver doesn't just stand on the brakes when your window comes down.

We had a vehicle that was too shiny for the neighborhood and a passenger in a truck that pulled up beside us was brandishing a lovely old revolver at us from behind a rolled up window. Wasn't even the first time that trip, but this time the window started to come down down so our driver stood on the brake and made a turn on a cross street to get us out of there.

chaibat posted:Thanks for the discussion! Interesting that this came up in drivers ed. Armored trucks you can just sit there and laugh unless the guy comes up with a rocket launcher, in which case the immediate threat has been satisfied. You'll probably get in mega trouble with your bossmasters for going off schedule though.

priznat posted:Was the mercury brand slightly fancier than ford but not as fancy as Lincoln? I’ve never understood it. Or was it like the ford version of Pontiac which was like the base (Chevy) cars but slightly weirder and uglier. It was both of those at various times. Ford never seemed to really know what to do with the brand.

Dick Trauma posted:Back in 1984 I went for a ride in one of those. It was a summer night and we rode through town to the beach and then up the Pacific Coast Highway. Many years later I saw the "Pink Moon" VW commercial and it reminded so much of that night that I still get misty eyed when I see it. They was a good promo. VW had some good advertising around the turn of the century.
