Don't merge with us or we'll rip your nuts off! Complain about your fellow "motorists" here. I'll just start with some of the hits from the end of the last thread: Dashcam owners Australia is always a favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YALuzziTOr8 And the video from which I plagiarized the thread title: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sZuN0xXWLc Link to the old thread if anyone needs it: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3568842 LloydDobler fucked around with this message at 09:00 on Dec 6, 2020 |

babyeatingpsychopath posted:Shouldn't it be "those with whom we share" or "that with which we share" ? Just asked my former english teacher dad and you're absolutely right. Then he followed by saying that ending sentences with a preposition is glossed over enough that it will be considered proper soon.

I had a low speed crash where the seatbelt did its job and held me back, and I just watched the airbag go off in front of me. It was kinda surreal.

Ya know I visited Australia once, (loved it, you guys are awesome) and I rode shotgun with a local who drove me around. So I was in the US driver's seat. All my reflexes were wrong, I had a few massive scares purely out of instinct and muscle memory. The driver enjoyed it and laughed a lot at least. If I were to drive, I would have either had to concentrate super hard and really focus on re-orienting myself, or I would have simply crashed and given up, I don't know. Of course if I was planning to drive and prepared in any way it could have been a different story. But just climbing in cold I was very confused several times.

I'm LOL at the poor little Roomba. He sure gave it a try.

They actually teach in driver's ed now to never turn with someone next to you because they will invariably take your lane. You intentionally slow down or speed up to stagger the spacing for when some dildo does it.

If it's a seldom used turn then it's just bad road design. I agree everyone should queue in both lanes and then merge when the time comes. On the flip side, passing a lot of people will have some of them thinking you're a dick. I have noticed there are a lot of signs now directing people how to merge since it's become a politeness vs road rage issue. In my hometown there's a big USE BOTH LANES and then TAKE TURNS AND MERGE signs at a place where a 2 lane highway becomes 1 lane through a town. And I've seen new USE BOTH LANES signs while visiting Denver this week.

At first her arms were in her lap where they should be, but at the very last second she put her arms up at 10 and 2 and stiffened them. I'd probably do the same thing, but it's really interesting to see it in action.

And then what? Left the scene of the accident? Looks like he's getting dragged in the comments for it and having to defend himself. Also it looks like he didn't do anything defensive other than step on his brakes. Seems that he's patting himself on the back for being unremarkable.

I'd say check your local laws, you might be the one in the wrong driving past multiple right turns in the right turn only lane. I know in many places the lane is not for "I'm eventually turning" but "I'm turning right now".

The thing about all those is no matter how much of an rear end in a top hat someone is, the last thing I want to do is spend the next hour of my life talking to them or police. I just slow down and let them the gently caress in. Maybe honk or flip them off after but anything to avoid contact. Also I love my car and prefer no scratches.
