I had a car go straight through a turning lane beside me off a light and almost hit me because the single lane on the other side of the intersection lines up with the turning lane. they honked when i carried on into my lane because i didn't expect someone to be cruising in my blindspot in a non-existent lane, although i usually check just in case. I ended up in front of them, and they floored it and passed me on a narrow residential street just to show me how inconvenient it was that i didn't cater to their lovely driving. There are 4 loving turning lane signs on the road, and one on the street light because people are irredeemable shitheels.

Midjack posted:lmao this is the top side outer loop of the DC beltway at the 495/270 interchange, just about everyone on that stretch of road is an absolute fuckface and I'm surprised I haven't seen this happen before. just about everyone on every stretch of road is an absolute fuckface I don't think i've ever been driving and thought "I can just follow the rules of the road as they're written and feel safe" It's always "each and every one of these fuckers is on the verge of doing something insanely stupid that puts me in danger" Powershift fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Jun 11, 2021 |

This was interesting. They're doing construction work on a bridge here, so have contra-flow for the length of the bridge, the entrance to which is about 15 car lengths after a major intersection. Normally they would have one lane as marked closed ahead, and everybody would merge way too early into the other lane loving up traffic, this time they have big orange signs on both sides that just say "ZIPPER MERGE AHEAD" and "ABNORMAL MERGE AHEAD" and then when you get up to it, standard "merge" signs on both sides of the road as the lanes come together. and go into the contra-flow to stop people from merging too early and wasting a whole bunch of good lane. People figured it out quite quickly and everything went smoothly with no problems. AAAAAAAAAAHH just kidding, people still tried to look ahead to figure out which lane they're "supposed to be in", and hosed up the traffic trying to change lanes in the middle of the intersection anyways.

 ->  ->  ->  It felt like a decent shunt but all i got was some paint transfer. (the bump strip has been bent forever)    It was a pretty rapid cycle of emotions. From "oh poo poo, someone just hit my lincoln" to "wait, there's no damage, not a big deal" to "oh poo poo, that guy got punted into me." 5mph bumpers work, kids.

NoWake posted:There's one I pass that flickers red/blue to catch your eye just before switching to the next slide in rotation, they absolutely know what they're doing. If your city or county has any balls they would have some regulations to enforce on the allowable brightness of road signs. If not, some regulations should be proposed at the next board meeting, voted on, enacted, and then fines imposed. There's a hitch store that just constantly flashes red and blue here and it always catches me off guard.  The whole sign is LEDs https://i.imgur.com/WtlSntw.mp4 On that subject though, I'm quite bothered by the most psychotic drivers in the city who feel like they can run red lights and go at whatever speed they want now driving Tahoes and F-150s everywhere. Cops should get priuses and smart cars.

The Door Frame posted:A hit and run of sorts, but as long as he reports the incident, he can continue to be unbothered by the jackass that pit-ed himself into a barrier because there's no shoulder or area to stop and exchange information, right? IIRC, It is illegal to stop on the bridge if your vehicle is still mobile. You get to the end of the bridge and pull over.
