I heard it once that drivers in Boston don’t use turn signals because it gives away your plan to the enemy.
I’ve had the opposite experience. Everyone used turn signals and drove aggressively. I got cut off a lot, but I always knew it was about to happen.
As a kid I was once driving back with my dad from a specialty lumber yard trip, where hed gone to pick up a ~1.5 ton, 40’ teak beam, with about 10’ hanging off the back, down low. Wed just gotten south of the city, and trafic was finally easing up, when he finally saw chance to get out of the middle lane, and went to take it.
So he threw on his right turn signal, and the guy in that lane immediately started accelerating to close the gap.
My dad just went for the switch anyway, Forcing the guy to drive off the road into the grass median ditch of lose his windshield to a massive piece of wood.All he said was “a turn signal is a signal of intent, not a request for permission.” And we kept driving.
USians clearly don’t know what the word “socialism” means.
I watched a bro dozer coal roll a prius doing 60 in the left lane a few days ago. I get it. I still think rolling coal should be illegal, but I get it.
I went to a no kings protest today and some jackass stopped in front of the bulk of the protestor and rolled coal intentionally. I’ve never seen a cop go after someone so fast in my entire life. I’ve also never seen a cop actually support the no kings cause. I had a good conversation with the dude earlier in the protest and he is a brand new cop and seems to me like he won’t be a cop for long. Acab, because the ones who aren’t bastards or don’t turn into bastards don’t make it as cops for long.
anybody who isn’t using the left lane to pass while we drive past three “KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS” signs deserves to be shamed and fucked with
the light was green for 0.3 seconds and prior to that, you rocketed up behind me and cut me off to take pole position at the red light, then spent a minute slowly creeping into the crosswalk
if you’re not ready to go on the fucking green, smarten the fuck up
There are shitty drivers everywhere. You’re probably average, and the average driver in the U.S. is pretty good. We’re all guilty at least occasionally.
Give people a break, we all want to get home safely.
No we are not, we are collectively horrible drivers.
Your take of “give people a break, we all want to get home safely” and in contrast of a few comments up, “crossing three lanes to make a left turn”, are taking me for a ride.
I don’t think everyone wants to get home safely honestly. Some of us are having bad days, overtired, on drugs, raging, and who knows what, all while driving next to the mom with four kids in the backseat who hasn’t slept in a week.
