Uhhhh I guess I don't for sure, but with how she was driving in the video she was clearly not sober or of sound mind so... does it matter? I would imagine the people pushing that button have a habit of drinking and driving and think of it as a "skill."

Can't actually get it to load the video, but it appears to be a car upside down in a hole, fire crews on scene, caption "drunk driving @ 1100am" (paraphrasing).

How did she reverse tank-commander herself? With a brush in the car. How do these people manage to dress themselves in the morning? e: oooooh, didn't clear the roof and there was a small avalanche at the first stop.

Earlier this week I saw a truck hauling one of those self contained dumpster/compactors on a flatbed. There was about 4 feet of snow piled on top of the dumpster still, probably the most severe example of that common stupidity I've ever seen

It happens after the heaters have been running and it melts the bottom of the snow, allowing it to slide right off the first time you tap the brakes. I caught a very rare double avalanche several years ago:

I saw the opposite the other day after we got some decent snow. A VW sedan with the entire roof, back window & both rear door windows covered with snow. Hope that person didn't merge into someone later...

Went to a house for sale yesterday and after we looked at it my realtor and I were just outside chatting. The neighbor of the for sale house backed up into their not-fully-open garage twice...

It was like a weird pedestrian mimic thing that got me a couple times.

Bus stops are one thing (that's poor placement for a bus stop, not necessarily the bus riders' fault) but this was just some dude on his phone loving staring across the street at the corner for no earthly reason.

The idiots coming across the road on the protected green stacked up a bit too deep today. I don’t understand why you’d go across when the lane is already backed up to the intersection. Probably 30 people missed this light because these smarties couldn’t stay out of the intersection.

I gotta be first! How dare you expect these people to wait like they should. I will stop at a yellow (or even worse, refuse to enter the intersection on green when there is no room to clear by end of cycle) at a notoriously jammed up/poorly designed intersection, and the rage in my rearview mirror is great.

Someone cut over into the regular traffic lanes and made an illegal turn on red once because I had the nerve to stop at a light who turned yellow well before I was close. Sorry for following the law, guess having to wait another few minutes for another light cycle is the absolute worst thing ever.

I'm going to start doing this solely to piss you off. Real talk: it's why I tend to hang back a bit at crosswalks when I have no intention of crossing at the first immediate chance. Usually I stay behind the metal plates or at the light activation button.

Years ago, I had stopped at a "no right turn on red" light. The guy in the brodozer behind me started blowing his horn and yelling angrily out of his window, and then decided to jump the curb to make the turn. Unfortunately for him, he hadn't checked his mirrors. The cop who was right behind him turned on his lights, intructed me to go ahead and turn when safe (via his loudspeaker), and then chased down the brodozer. I gave the brodozer a quick toot toot of the horn as I passed. I do hope that that clown didn't memorize the car I was in, since I was doing a post repair test drive of a customer's car.

Do you not have yellow junction boxes or something similar in the US?

Lord Ludikrous posted:Do you not have yellow junction boxes or something similar in the US? I had to google what that even was.  No, I've never seen anything like that here in the US. The law already says that you're not supposed to enter an intersection unless there's room for you to get out of it, but a lot of people seem never to have gotten that message. e: Wikipedia posted:Several U.S. states have enacted laws intending to decrease gridlock at intersections, railroad crossings, and marked crosswalks which prohibit motorists from entering any of the three until they are certain their vehicle can clear it, as recommended by Uniform Vehicle Code section 11-1112.[9] Examples include California,[10] Florida,[11] and Ohio.[12] No special road markings are used to indicate this rule, but some governments post warning signs to increase awareness of the law at problematic intersections.

There are pavement markings to indicate this in the US. They're just not used enough. https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Fines-coming-for-box-blocking-motorists-9177901.php

We do have laws for a lot of this stuff but I've seen people straight up run a red light in front of a police officer who did nothing, so enforcement is definitely part of the problem.

There are loopholes with it too, like the law may say you can't enter an intersection unless you can get through without stopping, but another law might say that once you're in that intersection you have right of way if the light is yellow or red. Even if there was money or willpower to enforce it, how could you? Regardless, society has voted for their own "law" and it's acceptable to pile into the intersection as deep as you can get to try and make that left turn.

I once sat through 3 cycles of a light before finally getting out of my car and walking up to the person at the front of the left turn lane and (trying not to scream) explained to them that they needed to move more forward more because they weren't on the trigger thing, since the cars behind them honking and honking didn't seem to get the message across.

Some people just love stopping a full car length or more before the stop line. The same people also really like stopping at least that far behind other cars in a red light queue, ensuring the line is as long as loving possible.

I've been people stopping like 8-9 feet back from the stopline a lot more recently. Not really sure what's up with that. It makes sense to hang back if you're like, in the left turn lane and don't have the protection of a median or something, but pull up to the loving stop line otherwise.TotalLossBrain posted:Some people just love stopping a full car length or more before the stop line.

I've been tempted to parallel park in front of those people just to make a point but I'm a conflict avoidant goon so that's never going to happen.

The same people also really like stopping at least that far behind other cars in a red light queue, ensuring the line is as long as loving possible. They’re the same people who, upon the light turning green, let the car in front get approximately 5 car lengths ahead before beginning to accelerate. When I leave my office complex there is a very busy right if you hit it at 4pm, 5pm, etc. and you could easily squeeze 12-15 cars through a light cycle if everyone was ready to go when it went green but as it stands you’ll be lucky to get 8 through. Infuriating.
