OK, if tram drivers were to brake EVERY TIME someone got in their way and they had no room to stop, they'd be stopped most of the time. They just have to believe people will move out of the way, as they usually do. A normal stop braking uses their 90% brake power, unlike a car where we use line 10%. In situations like

There are reflections at the start. These are not reflections:

...and know which cars are around them, doing what speeds and where they may be going next. Timid just wait for a hole to shove their front and work out the rest later.

Look at the middle wheels as he bops around trying to stop. Sparks, he's braking... But these are pretty old trams, and steel wheels on steel rails have no grip. He just thought "nah, he's gonna get out of the way, they always do" but no.

Agressive drivers usually take advantage of small gaps, real fast and go away, sometimes it goes wrong. Timid drivers are moving chicanes to fast and normal drivers and usually end up causing a long mess several times a day. Usually others avoid them, but when they don't everyone excuses them cause they were going

Didn't recall the details, but sounds accurate and very likely. I remember this every time someone says idiot in a Ferrari (or any other supercar).

Nvmnd double posting :(

Now playing

Not sure it fits exactly, but it's pretty duchy to plow through an intersection running a red light and maybe getting yourself, passenger, or other car occupants killed:

Ha! Well played... rich guy buying his way into that car, makes a mess of if frequently, especially here rallying for politics in his home country and failing. And no one said it had to be a road legal super car, so you got my vote!

I agree. I understand family and friends wanting to remember her at her best, but I fail to see the inspiring uplifting story... If Danica (which is a bit more of an accomplished race driver) had crashed and died, people would be fighting around the crasher she was or she was only there because woman, or would they be

Lane spliting saves lives. He was very lucky this time.

Glad to see he didn't go with the trend at the time and change the plates. Many people started to change them but I love these. My Dyane and Datsun have original ones too. Not mandatory to change or add something your car hadn't when factory new and road legal. Goes for seat belts, fog lights, plates, and day running

No traction control = more tyre saving needs too. The more i think about, the more sense it makes.

So maybe this trend of getting Romain behind Kimi every time is somehow Lotus holding on, on the vague hope someone finds out what RBR are doing and maybe penalize Vettel. Makes more sense that way to me...

Sorry I assumed otherwise.

Saw one of those this weekend. Quite the Q T

Pff, in European cities you see women driving, talking on the phone, smoking and negociating traffic and intersections. On manual cars. I consider myself a good driver and I guess I could to the same, but when "something" happens, will I be able to swerve and avoid an obstacle with one hand? Maybe, but I'd probably

Updating the speed limits to accomodate to current road conditions and cars' passive safety (better brakes, handling, tyres) is just common sense. Where traffic is more intense you will still drive below speed limits because it's just not safe or even possible to do otherwise, and this does not automatically sanction

If not applying make up, shaving, using the phone, using the infotainment, people driving under the speed limit are at least listening to the radio and thinking about their life/work/etc, and mostly oblivious to what they are doing. Just automatically maintaining speed and direction. If cars were meant to be driven

I thought the wife was lucky against such a deranged empowered mob, and that Lien was lucky to get away with "little" harm. Now it's clear why. Begs the question: what if ONE of the riders (not even mentioning the undercover/off duty cops) had done the same? Maybe Lien would be charged instead of them. Only proves
