Yeah I fat finger pressed 5 instead of 4 and didn't notice, oops. The density of pickup trucks and general look of it all tells me it's in the US, but the sticker is confusing.. German car fanboy/fangirl maybe (but boy do you have to be a fan...)?

Yeah, it's bizarre, every other part of that gif screams "USA," so it's likely what Bicycle said, some sort of Euro fan. You see people here all the time with bumper stickers like "this car climbed Mt. Washington" and such so maybe it's a "this car drove the Autobahn!" thing or something.

fakeaccount posted:Fuckin A. I want to say it's never a good idea to jump out of the car like that...but then you factor in the sight of 80000 pounds of truck ice skating towards you at 40miles an hour, and keeping a cool head goes right out the goddamn window. Man she's lucky she fell when she did decide to bail out. Maybe with dry roads and good traction under her feet she gets away in time but if she didn't slip and fall it looks like she could've gotten swept by her own door and body slammed into the truck.

Driving through California to get between two non-poo poo states has me understanding a little more why some people just don't indicate. A blinker is a sign of weakness and will only result in someone accelerating to fill the void you intend to utilize.

Three separate traffic lights in a row I had to honk at the same car because the chucklefuck in front of me was on their phone. I didn’t beep straight away either but the cars where fully through the intersection each and every time.

Nah there was a semi in the other lane holding people up and I wanted to get around it before I hit the big hill with a reduced speed limit for trucks. Regardless the guy was a oval office who glared at me in the rear mirror every time I honked only to repeat it at the next lights. I got past him eventually but it took quite a while.

Wanna ride with this mailman, that looks fun as hell Javid posted:Driving through California to get between two non-poo poo states has me understanding a little more why some people just don't indicate. A blinker is a sign of weakness and will only result in someone accelerating to fill the void you intend to utilize. I think this applies almost everywhere, happens to me in town at least 85% of the time. And since lots of people like to speed up whenever someone is next to them, I keep my pace for a few seconds, wait until they slow down and think "oh, he's not merging" and let down their guard, then gas it and sneak into the gap they made. Hasn't failed me yet and anyone actively blocking someone from merging or getting to their destination can go gently caress themselves with a red hot rail spike.

Not near any junction boxes though.  https://www.google.com/maps/@61.2315468,-149.7305323,257m/data=!3m1!1e3 Look at that.. surrounded by forest, no obstructions except for four street lights, and huge. You can't expect a teenager to NOT do donuts there. (though at lunch one day we did see some dumbshit tooling around in his parent's brand new F150 and hit one of those lamps at 30+ and totaled the truck)

Wasabi the J posted:The Stuck In Traffic dude witnessed a death. No death shown in the video but still a grim reminder. I ran past this the night it happened. I was half expecting to be caught in the background of one of his videos. That intersection is really dumb, it either needs lights (there are enough lights on Venice Blvd already) or directional islands on that Glyndon cross street to stop people trying to cross 2 bike lanes, 2 turn lanes and 6 regular lanes that people will often do 50-60mph on, all at once (10 LANES!). I loving hate those selfish people that do it. What's double stupid is that the local council decided to shrink many portions of that area of Venice Blvd down to 2 lanes so they could swap parking/bike lanes around, all in the name of safety (This hasn't been reflected in google maps yet), but this is one intersection that could actually use some safety improvements and it's been left alone besides a sign that everyone ignores (you can even see your standard idiot in a Prius crossing 8+lanes at once in the video).

uncle w benefits posted:What is it with that place? Just a real dangerous intersection? It’s a wide, fast‐flowing street intersected by a tiny street. Originally it was legal from motorist on the tiny street to go straight across six lanes going 50 mph (80 km⁄hr). Now that is forbidden by signage, but there’s nothing more preventing it. It’s still legal to make left turns or U‐turns from the major street. e: It’s the intersection of Venice Boulevard and Glyndon Avenue in Venice, CA.

Funny you should mention that, I was thinking about a week ago about those abused things and glad to see that. I think they are getting replaced eventually with a new contract. I remember when they were some bastardized jeep. I have respect for my mailman. In fact I think I will do a thank you card. Crazy rear end bastard goes out of his way. And yeah, I'm probably in the minority on my experience.
