Now I haz a sad... the good old days when you still could rely on saving/reloading in the middle of a mission. My crew always was maxed out.

Affirmation: you are correct meat bag.

“old school”

Nobody’s calling out the “always in the middle” thing? It’s my job as a driver to keep a safe distance between me and the car in front of me.

That’s not correct (unless they changed it again). You are allowed to go on the right lane and pass there, particularly if you don’t pull back right for no reason.

Why not both? Of course you can finish passing. But a) you shouldn’t start it when you know it forces somebody else to slow down (significantly) and b) let anybody who wants to pass do so when you are done.

As much as I want to like it and emphatically agree with the main message, this video is $hite. Nobody who claims that faster drivers are “forced” to do risky moves should be allowed near a car.

Didn’t have a parking ticket in DC for some time, but it used to be hit-or-miss. There’s certainly a lot of erroneous ticketing going on plus signs of the approximate word War and Peace (parking allowed on Monday between 10:38 and 11:23, Tuesdays between 4:32PM and 4:33PM if you wear non matching socks ...).

Doing something for the only reason that you like it is pretty much exactly the opposite of being forced. I really do appreciate you going out of your way and installing the switch, so apologies for calling you a douche bag. I hope the people benefiting from your whole sale defense of exhaust modding are as

Pro tip: if you think you are “forced” to run a louder exhaust you are, in fact, the douche bag. Make your choice to make others people’s lives miserable if you must, but don’t pretend that makes you the victim.

Well, find that arsehole and kick him in the nuts. This picture appears to show the 4 lanes going at about the same, extremely slow, speed. Zipper merging was created exactly for that scenario.

I may have missed sth in the conversation, but how did we get to road rage and people pulling out in fast-ish moving traffic to get ahead of another 2 cars. That has nothing to do with the animation above or zipper merging.

What’s your point? In the example above it would have been up to the truck to manage the space. It was clear that following the zipper idea he’d have to let the Camaro in.

Bollocks. Zipper merging has its applications even in the US. It’s not as useful if traffic is moving before the merge. But it’s infinitely better than the alternative in cities where traffic comes to a near complete stand still. Why artificially inflate the backlog by not using the available space? The real arseholes

Why isn’t this standard for the turn signals?

I think much of it is just crappy pricing and cost-benefit studies. There are loads of implicit subsidies for using cars (roads, non-internalized external costs of car use, etc). If those were priced correctly, I am fairly sure that public transport would be competitive.

Fair enough, but I doubt that this is the case more than 5% of the times I see cops speeding. Just as I doubt that they have a good reason more than 5% of the time to park where they shouldn’t and break the myriads of other rules the routinely break.

Yeah, cops following traffic regulations. Good luck with that. One of my most priced possessions is a photo of 5 fat cops on bikes running a traffic light simultaneously not 3 blocks from the white house.

Funny, I feel I know altogether too much about her.
