That video feels so good, man. Its not a three lane highway. If its two lanes Im not going to assume left lane = faster, Im going to assume left lane = has a turn coming up. Ive gotten stuck behind plenty of people keeping pace with each other, its not worth sticking your middle finger out. Back off the gas and relax.

In her defense, it is more comfortable to hold the phone vertically if you're shooting blindly behind you and to the side with one hand while the other is on the steering wheel. It's still a stupid fad or oversight, though. That's why I have a dash cam so I can record people doing stupid poo poo while I have both hands on the wheel like a safe and responsible driver. Still, no one around here in central New Jersey does nearly as stupid poo poo like that behind me that would warrant getting a rear camera.

Yeah she could have been going faster, but it did appear she was at least maintaining a consistent speed and was passing two trucks in the right hand lane. Also, according to the youtube description, she was going to be turning left soon. She's not driver of the year material but the bro-truck driver is just plain being an rear end in a top hat throughout the entire video. I'm quite impressed he didn't hit the white pickup or sideswipe her car during his overzealous maneuvers.

I saw somebody swerve into those water barrels at a freeway exit yesterday. I'm still trying to figure out what situation in life would make that preferable to just taking the wrong exit? Also, thanks to this thread, I've now started to notice just how many people are trying to kill me on my daily commute. So thanks for lowering my monthly Starbucks bill.

I agree, and after brotruck does it's brospin across four lanes into a treebro, you can see she pulls into a left turn lane, presumably to make the left she was planning on. This also doesn't appear to be a highway. It's something closer to a county road. I'm not sure if keep right except to pass applies to county roads or in my state, I presume it's different everywhere. I always keep right for the most part regardless, but if I've got a left coming up I'm keeping my lane because lord knows by the time I've got to make a move, some assbro will be blocking my lane change. Also, I really don't have too much a problem with someone holding a phone while driving. It's not really what you're holding so much as where your attention is when driving, and given her performance at keeping the subject centered in frame, I'm gonna say she was giving it little attention. trouser chili fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Mar 28, 2014 |

She travelled for about a minute in the far left lane while not moving over to let him pass when she had the opportunity, and it's not like the traffic would prevent her from getting back in the lane when she needed to. She trolled the poo poo out of the bro-douche just to piss him off, gently caress that ho.

Why is it her responsibility to drive the way he wants? She's (assumedly) doing the speed limit, she's moving fast enough to pass trucks in the right hand lane. Unless she's purposefully speeding up whenever he tries to pass, (Which it doesn't appear so, since she didn't when he passed her) she's doing all that she needs to. If you want to go faster than the person in front of you, the onus is on you to get around them. Doubly so if you wanna break the law to do so. That being said, if this happened in Georgia, with that loving braindead law they just passed, she would be in the wrong, but gently caress him anyway.

There are laws for "left for passing only" in many states, and it's considered a common loving courtesy regardless. The description mentioned that she was afraid to spin out, but you aren't going to do that just changing lanes. Bro-douche shouldn't tailgate and should learn his vehicle's limits, but she shouldn't drive with a stick up her rear end. Edit: of course she disabled comments

EightBit posted:There are laws for "left for passing only" in many states, and it's considered a common loving courtesy regardless. In addition to this, most states have laws against being an impediment to traffic flow. These are generally what prohibit your 30mpg top speed moped from being allowed on a 60mph freeway, since the slow moped will be an impediment to others on the freeway. These laws also imply that if someone is crawling up your rear end, you should pull over to let them by, since they are now defining the flow of traffic. I forget exactly where, but somewhere out on or near the East coast, there was a huge traffic pileup recently, and as a result, it became state law that you must pull over if someone comes up behind you traveling faster than you are, even if you are doing the speed limit. The maximum fine for violating this was something insane like $1000 and/or a year in jail.

Cage posted:The accident happened because the dude was being an aggressive rear end, cut her off and lost control while doing so. When I drive, if I'm blocking someone from passing on the left, I move over. A lot of people consider that common courtesy, and I'm certainly not the one to enforce speed limits. Nor is she, nor are you. Cage posted:This is nonsense, driving the speed limit in the left lane in a 2 lane street isn't going to get anyone a ticket. What world do you live in that you expect everyone to only occupy the right lane all the time unless theyre going to turn immediately?

Both people in the video are loving idiots, news at 11, don't make me hand out a stack of probations in here. I've discovered that if I leave home too early in the morning, I get all of the crazies. The real fun part is you never know if it's someone who isn't going to see you or yield when you should... or if it's going to be a high school driver who thinks she's doing the right thing by stopping in her lane of traffic (when she has right of way) to let me merge in front of her. Took me longer to figure out why the gently caress she was stopping than it would have to merge behind her like I intended to do.  My daughter's sweet 16 is gonna be at Bondurant.

Here in CT we have cars for hire, or basically private limos. They can range from your typical Buick sedan to a full fledged fuckin' limo. All of these vehicles have license plates that start, and end, with "L." For some reason, ALL of the cars I've encountered with these types of plates feel it is socially acceptable to sit in the left lane going 60, completely oblivious to the rest of humanity. gently caress all those guys. This exact scenario played out about 10 minutes ago on my way to work. Quit being a oval office and get the gently caress over. Sincerely, The mile long line of cars you held up this morning.

The city I live in has a ton of turning lanes. Tons of them. The entire point of them is to provide a perfect area to place your vehicle as you wait for oncoming traffic to pass so you can make your turn safely, without impeding traffic behind you. They are a luxury and I am thankful for them. Why, then, do so many cars put on their left blinker (while still in the travel lane), slow, slow, slow, slow down until they're nearly stopped and at their turn, THEN lurch over into the turning lane? It defeats the entire purpose of them.

My city decided to put in a half mile long dual (er, both directions) left turn lane, stretching literally from one intersection to the next and people constantly abuse this loving thing. Some people choose to make their left turn from the straight through lane, some pull all the way over into the oncoming left-turn lane, many drivers pull into the turn lane and just drive straight through the entire loving lane. As an added bonus, south of the intersection the same lovely dual turn lane continues (but it's unmarked, so NOBODY uses it) there is a special intersection. At 32nd and Rock Road, It's not a 4 way, when exiting the subway to the west of the intersection, there is no signal. . . That means everyone who is trying to follow the rules gets the added fun of watching someone tear out of the subway parking lot as soon as your light turns green. Of course, there is one last reason why this part of town sucks balls, look at the east bound exit from K-96, it features the most confusing traffic scheme ever, dual right turn lanes. Is it legal to make a right turn on red from the second right turn lane? Nobody knows! Most drivers (including myself) make the turn from the middle lane but there is still plenty of road rage at that intersection.

Seconding this, I used to be of the opinion "sure, hit me rear end in a top hat and we'll let the police sort it out." Until I got hit twice in the summer of 2011 (minor fender benders, one guy tried to pass me on a shoulder and ran out of room, the other changed lanes into me without signaling or checking his mirror) and in both cases the responding officer said there wasn't enough evidence to rule who was at fault and called both no-fault accidents - which is the same as an at-fault accident for insurance purposes. So any time I have some rear end clown pulling poo poo like this I get my phone out and start recording so I'll have video evidence in the event they cause an accident. As long as you're not focused on high production values for a video that you're probably just going to end up deleting anyways you can drive safely with only one hand on the wheel.

Livery cars cruising around at 5 under the limit in the left lane thinking they look pimp as gently caress, or something, I dunno. Move the hell over or speed the hell up I don't care which. It's gotten to the point where I can be cruising down i90 and crest a hill... look down the road to the next hilltop and see: 50% of traffic is in the left lane, bumper to bumper, playing human caterpillar 45% is in the middle lane, somewhat busy 5% in the right lane. You better loving bet I'm passing on the right. This morning I high beamed someone in a Honda crossover of some sort on i95 because they were pacing the guy in the middle lane for like five miles. They took forever to move over and then flashed me a thumbs up while glaring at me as I passed them because apparently this was all my fault. So I gave them a thumbs down and kept on going... they decided to tailgate me and flash their lights at me repeatedly.

Here's a secret (not really): a lot of those tests are designed to see if you follow instructions. For example: take three steps on the white line, turn around, and take three more steps. Sober person: Takes three steps, turns around, takes three more steps. Drunk person: Focus entirely on keeping feet on the white line (and maybe be okay at it) but keep walking and forget the turn around instruction.
