Yeah. I carefully analyzed the video and noticed that it was a terrible place to overtake, with an upcoming blind curve.

Someone passes illegally over a double yellow line, and your logic is, “Don’t be angry at people who want to drive faster than you.”

What the actual fuck...

Yeah... you’re dumb. The fact that nobody in the comments agrees with you should indicate this, but you’re probably too dumb to understand that too.

Why does everyone seem to think that just because you have a bezel-less screen, means the device necessarily needs to always register fingerprints at the edge of the screen? How about the insane notion that you can hold the edge of the screen, and the device simply ignoring your fingers there unless you’re in a…

Cold starting your car with a loud exhaust at 4 AM for work is a great way to get on all your neighbors’ bad sides.

You raise a valid point, and also raised a valid reply. As I said in my OP, I don’t expect this to me something that automotive enthusiasts would want on their vehicles. We want separate gas and brake pedals for a whole host of reasons...

Something to note, however. I haven’t driven those hybrid-electric buses for…

Our operation generally stuck to under 35 MPH, but we did operate above that too. As I said, neither of us knows the specifics of how the buses operate. I often wondered if there wasn’t a capacitor bank somewhere that would store up excess charge during braking, but I never got around to asking about it. My point was…

I appreciate all the math you’re throwing at this (I have an aerospace engineering degree). All I am saying is that, from experience, the regenerative braking system on those buses (however it functions) is enough for most of your daily driving functions. I’m not talking about panic braking, or extremely hard braking.…

I have no idea. The car was still slow, lol.

The regenerative brakes don’t come on violently. They engage quickly, but smoothly. That is still a change in acceleration, but I’m not talking about an instantaneous change equivalent to tapping the brake pedal. My point was that the regenerative brakes could significantly decelerate the vehicle, and made use of the…

My first attempt at learning stick was in a friend’s Scion t|C with a light-weight flywheel, and a Stage 7x10^4 clutch.

I remember coming out of that experience defeated, embarassed, and depressed, thinking I’d never be able to drive stick, despite it looking incredibly easy, and having been something that all drivers…

My experience driving hybrid buses would disagree with you. The regenerative brakes could knock standing passengers over.

A lot of people here are shit-talking something without ever having experienced it. Allow me to offer my $0.02.

For several years, I drove transit buses. In our fleet, we had a bunch of hybrid-electric buses. These buses had all the same features as a hybrid car: brisk low-end acceleration, funky noises, and regenerativ…

Agreed. Not his fault, but I would say he could be considered a “contributing factor” had the collision occurred. Proper defensive driving would have been to move over a lane. You NEVER blow past a stopped row of cars like that. At least not without your butt being puckered.

As a fellow BRZ owner, I concur with you. If anything, you have to be extra-defensive in this car, because people don’t see you half the time, lol.

I couldn’t hear the audio very well at work; you’re right, he did hit the brakes. I stand corrected on that aspect.

However, you don’t have to crawl through intersections to apply what I said. Good defensive driving means looking ahead. You can’t always prevent these kinds of accidents, but you can mitigate them the…

You’re right; we don’t know for sure. I’m just going off of what I can see in the video. It looks rather clear, and the truck was a tall, white object, but anything is possible :)

This video is a good argument for always paying attention when entering an intersection. It looks like the poor Hyundai driver had no idea what was about to happen until the moment of impact. Always scan the intersection as you enter it!

(Before all the trolls come in, I’m not placing fault on the Hyundai driver. The…

CTA buses have like 10 cameras each...

I get 34 highway in my BRZ! But that’s a low, aerodynamic car with almost as little power :P
