Hot take:

No matter how good or crap you think the traffic laws are in your place are, the best bet is to follow them because if you don't you will likely have to pay a lot of money that you probably don't have to just throw away. Speed limits are limits, meaning maximums, merging should go like a zipper, yielding to traffic already up to speed is safest, driving without substances impairing your body is safest.

Its quite simple but a lot of people think they should be allowed to rebel against the laws and get away with doing whatever they want because the rules shouldn't apply to them specifically.

Be. The. Sunshine.

Be the honest dark cloud fogging up the narrative.

[–] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Just here checking in on the narrative.

[–] w3ird_sloth@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

It's dark and foggy. But you'll have to bear with it.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I know posts like that don't actually help, but the people on the road can't hear me when I yell at them for doing shit wrong and I need to get it out of my system.

[–] hateisreality@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Yeah in Florida they might have guns on them, because you have to prove to the state you can safely drive a car but you do not have to prove to the state that you have the mental maturity required to handle responsibility of a firearm concealed on your person. When I lived there that scared the hell out of me

Edit: That's when I had to make sure my windows were always up when I yelled too.. I didn't want someone uninvolved thinking I was yelling at them pulling firearm at me... Who am I kidding I don't want anyone pulling a firearm at me

Hot tip: if your bumper to bumper during congestion or construction periods. You need to have at least 2-3 (minimum 1) car spaces between you and the car/truck in front of you. This way you’ll maintain a steady speed (maybe btwn 2-9 mph) rather than coming to complete halt every stretch.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

That just invites people to keep pulling in front of you, and now you're driving slowly while the lane in front of you is moving faster, and you've become the traffic jam.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Yep. Tailgating causes fullstops.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Even hotter tip: on a highway, if the line on your right is free, switch to it. Left line(s) is only for overtaking.

Once drivers learn this simple rule, speed limits can be lifted on certain highway parts so whoever wants to go faster now can fulfill their desire.

[–] BlackVenom@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

But but but but

(Continuing on the meta where slowbros and campers took aim at a bumper sticker that said "keep right" with strawmen)

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 11 hours ago

If we didn't have to drive everywhere, we could eliminate these arguments 🤷‍♂️

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 11 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

increasing FB type paranoia

[–] dan69@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Um comparing this to my thread. Your off by two community posts..

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 4 points 13 hours ago

This post was sending me, none of yal know how to drive like a standard human.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 25 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

What discussion? Zipper merge is a well defined technique.

More like half the people know how to zipper merge and the other half try to justify merging a mile early and getting angry when people pass them and zipper merge properly.

[–] dan69@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

Let pedestrians and cyclists go first. Scramble walk is okay and sjould be encouraged

[–] ijustliketrains@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I hate scramble walks that act like you can’t still walk while traffic is going. The light is green just turn the walk sign on.

[–] dan69@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

50/50 about it. My premise was for stop signs and or yield signs in general. But for traffic lights I’d rather it red light all around and pedestrians go where the heck they need. Like in Chicago there is busy intersections in a densely populated neighborhood that has foot traffic of bars/restaurants etc. but pedestrians have to abide by traffic’s patterns?? Like that one-five driver decides to make a right turn and bam either you hit someone or someone rear ends or block the bus or just make long queue for the cars who go past the cross walk..
