And then uses a 16:9 player :?
Must be a way to do it, tons of Youtube vids are widescreen.
I don't bother with my horn because it's no louder than a mouse coughing. Fucking Honda horns.
my car is automatic and I hardly ever use the brakes to slow down.
Neither epic nor a failure. Unless I'm coming to a stop, brakes are unnecessary.Epic fail.
Why? It's called planning ahead. You take your foot off that pedal on the right BEFORE you need to decrease your velocity. It's rather amazing really.
Yup, engine breaking works quite well even in fake manuals.
Although I wasn't letting him in (which I also didn't have to at this spot), he forced his way onto the road. Then, he used a lane for left-turns to overtake some more cars in front of him and, again, forced his way into a spot that wasn't really available before.
that's why you replace it with an air raid siren or a tornado warning siren.
Epic fail.
So I was going home through quite heavy city traffic the other day. At some point, I came across a guy in a black C-class estate, seemingly in quite a hurry. I noticed him first when he overtook me and the Fiat Punto in front of me on a road which has two lanes for a few meters at a very high speed. Also, his lane ended before he had passed the Punto, so he simply ignored the white lines on the street and even stopped at the upcoming traffic light on a space that was not meant for cars to drive on. Clearly, he was waiting for the light to turn green to gun it and overtake the Punto. The light turned green, and he did. To my surprise, he flashed his hazards once to thank the Punto driver for letting him pass at the lights.
A little later, the Punto turned away from this street, so I was directly behind the Merc. Then, we hit some really heavy traffic, with slow stop-and-go due to a construction site further down the road (I know that, he probably didn't). So after realising that this will take some time and seeing that he can't possibly overtake due to loads of oncoming traffic and a quite narrow road, he quickly decided to turn right to gain some positions on a parallel road. A few minutes and probably 500 meters further, he came back out of nowhere from some small side road. And where would he end up? Of course - right in front of me, exactly where he left.
Although I wasn't letting him in (which I also didn't have to at this spot), he forced his way onto the road. Then, he used a lane for left-turns to overtake some more cars in front of him and, again, forced his way into a spot that wasn't really available before. I still saw him for a while, basically going for a meltdown in his car because of not being able to go anywhere, but soon, I lost sight and interest.
Anyway, what a moron!
I had a woman stop at a green light and wave me through when I was turning left...
lol i had something similar, except it was the guy in the next lane suddenly stopping to let this man jay-walk through when the crosswalk was 2 meters down and we were all going around 70 km/hr
needless to say, the guy right behind him wasnt very amused
Where I used to live, this would have been a freaking legal requirement. Pedestrians had the right of way period full-stop no questions asked. It was STUPID! No matter where you were people would just step right out in the road expecting you to stop no matter what. I can't imagine how people weren't killed right and left.
that's just asking for trouble... i mean if that was the case, why bother putting up crosswalks
