Powershift posted:Saw a new one today. coming up to a red light, the guy in front of me turned right onto a side street, immediately did a u-turn in the middle of that street, and then turned right back onto the street on the other side of the light. I'll do this at certain lights that take forever if you miss them but for whatever reason have little traffic coming from the right. Feels good man.

In CA the carpool fine is ~$500, but it's not a moving violation and it doesn't count as points on your license. Once I realized that, I did the math and decided it would probably pay for itself in gas / wear and tear vs being in stop and go traffic, let alone my time. Never actually had to pay a ticket for it, but had a cop write one then not put it in the system, then another cop try to pull me over from the shoulder but he dropped his bike into the carpool lane lol.

I don't mean he fell off his bike as he was riding, he was standing next to it and tried to jump on it, hosed up, then dropped it. I could see that he was fine, but I was doing freeway speeds when it happened so wasn't like I could just pull over and help out. Not like I was trying to knock him over, he just slipped because it was lightly misting.

As Aaliyah said, lanes ain't nothing but a number. I thought this was automotive insanity, not automotive follow all the rules. (My commute took me the entire length of a freeway, with most of the traffic being people taking interconnecting freeways in the first 2/3 of the drive. Since the carpool lane was always very light in cars, taking that past all the connections wouldn't have slowed down any cars in the carpool lane, and I didn't cause any slowdowns like others did who had to get out into the traffic to make their connection. )

How much do those graders weigh? It doesn't look that big, I'm shocked at the difference between the truck and the grader. I'm assuming the truck was going roughly 200mph, based on the damage.

I think they made changes to it, but Waze used to do poo poo like direct you to make a left turn onto one of the busiest streets in LA, at rush hour, at places without a light and where the cross traffic never stops. Then you'd realize it was trying to do some dumb poo poo to save you 30 seconds, and if you had just continued on your usual route you'd already be farther along.

PT6A posted:Also: our Lord GOD gave us the reverse gear, in His infinite mercy, so we could back into places easily, not back out of them. Driving vehicles without the ability to back up teaches you some things about where and how things should be parked. Conversely, every person who backs into a spot in a parking garage takes way longer than it would it take to just back out later, I hate it when people fancy park. 99% of the people that do it are absolutely horrible at it.

Do you guys never drive in crowded parking garages? In an ideal world where people can drive, maybe backing in makes sense, but a lot of the garages around here have a no backing in policy because it majorly fucks things up in the morning when some guy who needs to park hard takes 4 tries to get it right. Also, for tighter spots your average driver is more likely to ding the neighboring car backing in than they will backing out.

Devor posted:Is that traffic signal purple? The speed limit has “i” in it. What does an imaginary speed limit mean? I'm pretty sure they're already intentionally doing that with some of the new signals they put in my area, it ends up being hard to see if it's green until you get fairly close to it, which I imagine is designed to slow you down.

It's pouring in LA this morning so I had a number of people going 25 in a 40 (on a street where people are usually doing 55 when it's dry) and generally holding up traffic, but the odd thing was every car that really sucked also didn't have their lights on. I'm used to people in LA not putting on lights when it's raining, but you'd think if you're that terrified of some water you'd want every advantage and put your lights on. Or it could just be that when you suck at driving, you REALLY suck at all parts of driving

I ignore a red left turn signal near my house to get on the freeway when the light is green to go straight, but it's one that really doesn't need to be there. You can easily see there are no cars coming, so why sit there and wait for minutes.

I saw a variation of the incher the other day where they left a huge amount of room, then would go up a foot or two, then stop for 10 seconds, then go up, then stop. It was more irritating than the slow inching, but I just leave the gap until it's time to go.

BOOTY-ADE posted:Worse, because we shouldn't need that crap to protect idiots. Same goes for anything like auto braking or lane departure - pay the gently caress attention & we can stop pandering to dipshits. Take those features out & let natural selection do its job. I'm waiting for those features to be on all vehicles so I'm less likely to be taken out on my bike by someone in a car not paying attention. The closest I've come to getting hit so far is a lady in a SUV who was picking her nose and veered into the carpool lane. I guess that's better than her sucking because she was texting?

It doesn't matter how slow you're currently going, make sure to always slam on your brakes and drop your speed by 10mph if you see a cop.

Lamborghini doing 100mph down the street hits a Jeep, then a tree - I'm impressed the guy driving the Jeep only had minor injuries. I'm assuming they must have just barely clipped him.

Went to a restaurant tonight and had to park kind of far away on a street where the cars parked probably weren't at the same place. I parked behind a car and left plenty of room, no one behind me. I get back to my car and there's a different car in front of me and a new car behind me, both parked CLOSE to my car. I ended up just going slowly forward and back until I bumped into each car, after hitting each car four times I had enough to just barely scrape by the car in front of me without putting a nice long scrape on it. I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do to get out of that situation? I doubt it even left a mark because I went so slow, but if you're going to pull that close to me I also don't care if it did. I'm just thankful I was in my wife's beat up car rather than my newer car.

I should have clarified I went back and forth an untold number of times trying to get just enough room, but I don't have any kind of sensors that beep so eventually I just went until it bumped because I wasn't making much progress.
