I suffer from the twin disadvantages of driving cars that are both short in height and have short hoods so I have to really pull way the gently caress out to see around the ubiquitous trucks and SUVs in my area. Like, my Fit is completely dwarfed by 80% of cars on the road and no matter how good its visibility is I can’t make up for a Ram 3500 pulling six feet beyond the stop line. I am at eye level with the hoods of most trucks and even most SUVs.

StormDrain posted:That's why you back into your driveway like a king. This is why I back into every parking spot. My son who just got his permit is also doing this everywhere we go. It’s drat near impossible to see around all these goddamn giant trucks and SUV’s if we were to back out in our tiny-for-the-modern-era cars.

I’d be more satisfied if I knew for sure that woman had learned a valuable lesson from this, but she will probably just blame the poor restaurant employees in her mind somehow, and continue her fuckwit behavior.

The Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, and Blue Ridge Parkway all have low speed limits but are still massively enjoyable to drive. A cross country motorcycle trip isn’t insane if, as said above, you stay off freeways as much as possible and budget at least 2x as long as your initial plan just to stop and see poo poo on the side of the road.

My sons and I did 6200+ miles across 15 or so states last year and we didn’t even make it to the west coast - we took 80 west and then went south after Yellowstone. I’ve done a 9000 mile road trip in the US and only managed 21 states. In October we did Tail of the Dragon which was 1900 miles round trip, in essentially a long weekend. Next time I think we will go south to TN and take 40 west. I know there are big stretches of nothing there but it will at least be new. So yeah. USA BIG.

NoWake posted:A friend in Michigan has had multiple people use their long, narrow driveway as a turnaround over the years. Most just pull in and back out, but some are real jerks and leave the pavement to turn around, going off-road & leaving muddy ruts in their yard. This kind of poo poo happens in my driveway with delivery trucks. We have a turnaround/parking area at the end but some drivers choose to just go halfway down the driveway, then back up into the EXTREMELY WET ALL THE TIME part of my yard and turn around and leave five-ton-van-sized ruts. There was a few year period where this was a weekly occurrence and I’ve become apoplectic when it does happen. I caught the Amazon guy doing it a year ago and when I yelled for him to stop, he just flipped me off and screamed obscenities as he drove away. I wish he had gotten stuck. I took pictures and got his plate and had to fight with Amazon about it. I don’t order anything from Amazon anymore since then and am happier for it.

This one is almost refreshing compared to the things I’ve seen, but just thought it was fun how both these people decided at the very last minute that they were in the wrong place and even crossed the stripes. I’m sure I’ll grab more exciting stuff now that I have one of these fancy “dashboard cameras” to fiddle with. https://youtu.be/QUl0wXOQQCA

People just didn’t slow down and kept on crunchin’. Unfortunately 3 people died https://youtu.be/dRXMtDlX0Ko

Beaten off the line by a no-hood-having, paint-peeling, tire-roasting integra with JUNK on the windshield, and tops it off with that telephone pole smash…incredible.

I watched this on mute but I imagine the sound was “BOING!” Utterly amazing how the Tahoe driver didn’t even react before the impact. The rig is an rear end in a top hat, yes, but the situational awareness on the Tahoe driver is below zero.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDv6IhYVHWQ Why not pull over to the right? Why drive another half mile at 55mph to CROSS THE ROAD? Less-than-WWII-tank-visibility at highway speeds.

I don’t like diesel smoke either but the extent of my opinion in this specific matter is just to say that 911 is for EMERGENCIES only. If you clog up the system by calling about exhaust soot, you’re a dick too.

If the pipe hadn’t been there she’d probably have taken out the corner of the bank building itself. “I can’t see them”. Then you shouldn’t drive, Jesus.

Also she called the door handle a “handlebar”. Banned from driving for life.
