For some reason I live for correcting people making wide right turns. It gets me off. I don't know why.
I love finding a double right turn lane setup at an intersection, I take the left lane possible, and make my legal right turn only to have the guy on the inside swing wide into my lane EVERY loving TIME. So I lay on the horn, watch them jerk their wheel everywhere. I don't know, its satisfying to me.

So the other day I did the same thing, laid on my horn, the dude got mad and pulled around to my driver side at the next light

"so whats up, man? "
"There are two right turn lanes, you swung wide into mine"
"well, the left most lane eventually has to turn, so everyone has to swing wide"
"no, that's not how that works, its illegal to swing wide on a right"
"you have to swing wide"
"no dude"
"gently caress OFF" *drives off*

It felt good.

Here's the offramp:

And I was laughing about the excuse that everyone needs to turn wide since the inner lane basically becomes a forced turn. And uh, if I've never been there, how would I know????

But lets humor him and see how quick that forced turn comes up:

LOL

Gonna get hit and have to deal with insurance or a hit and run driver for the lulz

In my old age I tend to favor gas stations that aren't a complete clusterfuck trying to get out of in the direction I wish to travel.

Can you convince my dad? He turns left across 2 lanes of traffic to save literally 1 cent per gallon, then had to turn left out of the station across those 2 lanes of traffic. There�s a gas station on the right side of the road!!

It is in certain groups, not in others.

I'm assuming this person was a solo vehicle because while I've seen some bad decision making in groups, I've never seen a group running a trail literally all go the wrong way on something as well known as that trail.

Also from what I've seen, that pass is not actually all that demanding in terms of vehicle performance (articulation, etc) in good conditions like this. The difficulty and danger is entirely wrapped up in how tight and narrow the trail is, combined with the extremely high penalty for loving up. That Bronco Sport may well have been able to make it across the trail, driven the right direction by a competent driver.

Black Bear isn�t too bad, but the Bronco Sport, especially with stock tires, is going to have a real poo poo time on the steps. Other than there and a little bit on the switchbacks it�s basically a gravel road.

It's nice to see Jeeps being used as Jeeps.

That would be a fun road on a bicycle.

The Rodeo Labs guys have a good post on it. It�s loving sick. I didn�t have the right bike the last time I was in Durango but it�s on my list.

That study is specifically on highways, so it�s a bit of a stretch to take it and apply it to any speed limit anywhere.
