they should make it so cars require 3-4 people to properly operate, i bet that would go a long way to fixing some of these issues we have

Larry Parrish posted:speaking of old freeways that need to be redesigned, the US-50/I-80 Business Loop interchange in Sacramento is God loving awful. Theres like three lanes that merge on at the same time theres a few offramps to midtown and downtown or to I-5 etc so if you're there between 8 am and 6 PM at basically any time you'll almost certainly be in a lane going 70 trying to merge into one going 15 or the other way around yeah the capital corridor is terrible. I remember going to department of water resources but the off ramp blended with 2 lanes merging on at like bumper to bumper meanwhile the lane I was in was like 70 so I had to brake to almost a stop and slip in across 2 stopped on-ramp lanes to get to the off ramp: I want to say this was like 20th/X st. I also think those were going to slow because they turned to 80 or something.

What was driving like before everyone had mobile phones distracting them? There's nothing more terrifying than seeing people obviously staring down at their phones while driving.

Lol don't know, but I do remember getting irritated at an increase in distracted drivers talking on their cell phones a few years after I learned to drive. Little did I know that they'd be gluing them to their faces within a decade.

I drive 5 mph under because deer have a habit of attacking my vehicle and it gives me more time to listen to podcasts and I get better gas mileage. Driving is the only time I get to myself where I don't have to worry about work or politics or internet slapfights.

slow drivers are OK with me as long as they pull over and let me go by, so shoutout to all those folks. everyone else is crap! edit: slow drivers in the middle lane of the interstate who just go 45 while people blow past them on both sides should be in jail, tho

I drive like 50,000 miles a year for work and the two things that are making me crazy are 1) people who go from the middle lane to the left lane with no one in front of them right as I'm about to pass them and A) people who touch the god drat brakes for no readily apparent reason You can go slow and it won't bother me, unfortunately the people who go slow are also usually the motherfuckers responsible for the two crimes described above which means you're in poor company you distracted, unpredictable bastards

I got three speeding tickets in the space of a year and am really paranoid about it these days. Mostly I just make sure there is at least one car going faster than I am and stay in the right lane as much as possible.

"Make sure there's someone ahead of you going faster" worked for me for a good 15 years, and then last year I got nailed doing 80 in a 65 with a guy doing at least 85-90 in front of me Fair play to the cop though - I didn't realize until he asked for my license that I had forgotten my wallet at home, and he could have made my life loving miserable off of that alone. He also ended up giving me a 74 in a 65 because it's a lesser ticket than 75+ in a 65 and I was "driving fast but not driving stupid" e: also I'm brown as hell so I was mostly just thankful I didn't get shot for getting pulled over in a car I couldn't immediately prove was mine

Arrhythmia posted:drat dude you are lucky that the cop didn't murder you, wow Yeah he pretty much told me straight "I could have you in the back of my car and your car on a tow truck to impound right now if I wanted" Not that it would have gotten me out of that outcome, but I've always heard that if you get a violation related to not being able to produce a license or insurance, you can get it dropped by proving you were licensed/insured at the time of the violation. Anybody know for a fact if that's true or false?

Depends on state law, but where I live you get a greatly reduced fee. But only if the cop writes it up as a fix-it ticket. Otherwise, even if it's fixable you have to pay the whole fine.

Or if you have a broken headlight and the cop is all wtf, you simply explain it broke during your current voyage. Then when he gets salt in his vag about why it's all rusted out, you explain it was a prior indiscretion, but of course the car was never on the road in such condition.

My wife got me driving faster. Nowadays I pretty much go with the flow in the right lane and pass if it's a truck or something. As for worrying about getting a ticket the rhyme in northern California is, "over Five you're fine, over Nine you're mine." Seems to work.

I think I realized why I hate getting stuck behind slow drivers so much. It’s like when I’m stuck behind a slow driver it almost feels like I’m not even driving the car. I’m just watching a really lovely movie of someone’s trunk. I get bored. I start to fidget... I start to brood... When I have road in front on me I can be 100% focused on driving.
