Here the road is a couple feet lower than the rail line and you have to slow for any crossing because they're basically big speed humps.

Is it normal for a 53 foot trailer to have bald tires on it? There looked to be no tread depth on those things.

wolrah posted:Here's what you're missing: Nah I got that by the post where I said sorry for my lack of specifics. All I meant was that I had heard the level crossings with even roads and rails had most of the crashes compared to crossings where you had to slow down because the rail was above the road level. I didn't articulate that well. I was overly pedantic gooned.

Middle of nowhere Japan today, some crazy lady missed her turn so she stopped and started to reverse. Which is dumb enough as it is but she did so without even looking behind her at all and if I hadn't reacted fast enough she would have plowed straight into me. Luckily no damage was done because that would have been hell trying to get the insurance to take my side.

This minivan missed the exit for the turnpike so he pulled over to the side and started reversing. All he had to do was get off at the next exit, less than 1 mile away, and got back on the highway going the other way or drive less than 10 minutes to get the non-highway entrance to the turnpike.

It's the difference between rote learning and problem solving learning. The person doing the stupid thing navigates by rote and just doesn't have the skills to re-plan the route, so the reversing into oncoming traffic seems like a better option as ahead will never go the way they need even if in the real world it does. It's like the older generations of sat navs that cannot recalculate the route on the fly so would constantly tell you to turn around if you missed a turning.

Remembered a good road rager from when I was in my early 20s. Coming back from mowing a lawn in my POS Ford Tempo and happened upon a random bicycle race in the middle of nowhere in WV. It was only a couple hundred feet to the crest of a blind hill, so I backed off and planned to pass at the top where it was safe. Cue crazy guy in a black beater Chevy pickup coming up behind me blowing his horn and flipping out. I flipped him off, then passed the bicyclists at the top of the hill. Crazy guy blasts past me as soon as I return to my lane. As soon as he's in front of me, he jams on his brakes, slides sideways to block the road, jumps out screaming, and pegs my windshield with the soft serve ice cream cone he was eating. I immediately cut down through a lawn around him and got back on the road. He caught me again about a mile down the road and jumps out again, but took off when some other cars came up behind me, fortunately before I made the decision to ram him and pin him against his truck. Never saw the truck again thankfully. Definitely my most surreal driving experience.

Leaving my house and driving along the hilly curvy road and come upon Jethro moving his house.   Yes, that is some jackass trying to move his mobile home with a pickup truck. I stopped and watched for a few minutes to see what was going and it looked like they were broke down. I turned around and went the other way.

My neighbor across the street is a jackass. He drives a lifted Chevy truck with a million different stickers like "YANKEE LAKE TRUCK NIGHT" and "OFF ROADING." He never looks when he backs out, he just pulls out. He's cut me off several times doing this and I'm guessing he's the one who backed into my dad who was backing out once. Yesterday, I had just backed out of my driveway and I see him starting to reverse, not realizing, I'm in the street. It had been snowing all day and they barely had a chance to plow so I'm going 15 mph and my street is entirely uphill and a few curves so it's easy to slide if you're not careful. He's riding my rear end the whole way, I'm pretty sure he's pissed I'm going that slow. He continues following behind me for a few miles into the road splits into multiple lanes. I took the left lane so he immediately sped up and took the right lane and got stuck behind a Ford Escape. The entire time while driving behind the Escape he's screaming and honking his horn because the Escape doesn't want to speed up in all of the slush. They come up to the intersection and it has two right lanes for turning. The Escape is in the right most lane so he takes the left turning lane, speeds up, and takes the turn. I'm surprised he didn't eat poo poo while turning. gently caress that guy.

Can't stand people how come to a 4 way stop and don't move even when their turn comes around. Makes the other people confused and fucks up the whole flow because no one knows if this idiot is going to just lurch into motion with no warning.
