>guy behind starts honking .1 seconds after its been green
You lost track of time so it was more like 3 to 5 seconds. In driving experience across 2 decades, I only hear people honk after at least 3 to 5 seconds.


>light turns red at crosswalk
Some of the Homeless people here walk across the street even if it is red against them. They force traffic to stop. I see that happen frequently. It is annoying how they make cars wait. I wonder if they are trying to do a "you hit me" scam.

Might very well be. I know here stuff like what happened to me is pretty common so I figure that if I got hit he (or his oil rich dad) can pay my tuition but I don't go out of my way to get hit. Sometimes it's just out of stubbornness

It crossed my mind but then I'd probably lose my skateboard

I love when I see cucks stopped at a red light slowly inch forward, while the other light is still solid green. Eventually they get right underneath the fucking lights, can't see it when it turns green, and end up taking a couple seconds to realize it and drive off.

This was staged. That's a dealer car that was already scheduled for a windshield change for some reason(loose seals I think) and the dealer setup this video to "go viral", lel.

(This message brought to you by the league of Concerned Urban No-Texters)

why does everyone wait for the car in front of them to go. If we made rear-ending someone the fault of the car in front and everyone waiting at the light hit the gas and went as soon as it turned green, we would all be at work a lot faster.

I fuckin hate poor people.

Fucking people man. Happened today.

That's when I "stall" my car. Have fun sitting here for more green lights.

Yeah but it's not like the road is prepped, so I stopped that after I blew through a set of tires in a week

>A/R receptacle open like a fucking slut

Because following distance

>I fuckin hate poor people.
You mean you hate "low quality" selfish drivers. Those kinds of people exist rich or poor. They consistently make the driving experience significantly worse for everyone.

>light turns yellow with car in front of me
>continuing at full speed expecting to run yellow/red light
>begin to browse smartphone touch screen maps
>nearly end up in collision with driver who obeyed state law

Unfortunately for those who consider yellow as the speed up light, I tend to slow down and stop per state law. So if you depend on racing through the red as so many do, you'll be unhappy with me. I got a red light citation once because I went when it was yellow. As those things go, if any part of the car is still in the intersection when the light is red, that is a ticket. Because of that ticket, I usually slow and stop when it turns yellow.

lel people that do this are always way too slow.

Fucking this. Heaps of people in Melbourne inch forwards, none of them take off quickly. Why bother if you're not saving any time?

Fuck New York, what a hellhole

welcome to Puerto Rico.

Everyone creeps.

At least 5 cars run every red light every time.

You have to be rolling into the intersection before the light turns green.

Passing on exit/on ramps is common and expected.

>inching
never drain the free space in front of you. That's your platform for potential maneuvers.

When you take off, it should be from the point you stopped at.

This is essential for managing a clean driving profile with smooth entry curves - facilitating a smoother ride into higher gear, and better fuel economy.

>why does everyone wait for the car in front of them to go.
At lights, particularly the short time length left turn signal, I leave a big gap to the car in front of me. The gap is proportional to the number of cars in front of me. When the light turns green, it takes time for the cars in front to start moving. This is the hysteresis time. I cure that for the cars behind me by starting to creep forward. By the time the car directly in front of me starts to move, a lot of the cars in back of me are already rolling forward.

By doing this trick, more cars make it through the turn signal because their hysteresis time was eliminated.

Happened to me yesterday, I am going to do everything in my power to fuck these assholes up. I'm definitely going to contest the ticket.
I fucking hate fat people, they all need to be euthanized.

if they're fat, there is a high likelihood they are mentally ill and perceive the world in a way that is so alien to the rest of us that we can only imagine the delusion that happens in their every day lives. These people will run a red light, cause an accident and then say "You should have seen me! I was laying on my horn!". They will blame everyone but themselves for their actions because they do it with every meal, every action and with every person they encounter.

>he got outsmarted and scammed by bunch of fatsos in a shitbox

Damn user. Shit like that really makes you think about getting a dash cam. Sucks you didn't have a witness in the passenger seat.

You have not driven much in major cities. I can promise you, they do honk less than a second from change

That wouldn't be very smart considering most would just drive off because they have no soul or noticed the bum is commuting fraud in which case, personally, I'd proceed to get out and punch the hobo in the nuts. Just a terrible idea all around, no wonder they're homeless.

My favorite scam video

Fake or not, you can't fuck with people like this. It could be their last straw. If nobody's around to record it, it's more beneficial to just kill you as a scammer. If you piss them off, they won't give a hundredth of a fuck as they make sure you won't live to try to cash in on it. The insurance scam model only works on the other person's pity. If they don't have any, well...

Puerto Ricans bring their 'advanced' horn semaphores to NYC. For example
- two very short honks mean "I don't see any cross traffic so I'm going to run this light"
- two long honks mean "there is someone on the street I recognize"
- one very short honk means "I am an unlicensed gypsy taxi, do you want a ride?"
- four or more very short quick honks means "I am going to cross five lanes of traffic without looking and then park in the bicycle lane"

>if they're fat, there is a high likelihood they are mentally ill and perceive the world in a way that is so alien to the rest of us that we can only imagine the delusion that happens in their every day lives.

Some people dream of getting insurance payouts. It's more likely than having a rich relative leave you money, or winning more than twenty dollars in the lottery.

This is why Mother Russia is winning with in-car dashcam deployment.

A woman in the lane next to me was doing this. The difference though was that she would blow her nose and every time she would take her foot off he brake, roll back, then inch back forward. Then blow her nose to repeat the cycle.

I was so entertained I nearly missed the light change.

>at red light waiting to turn left
>light turns green for me after straight ahead only cycle

>dude from perpendicular street goes through red light at 40mph and plows into my door

How do some people even manage to get their driver's license

>waiting at a light
>SUV beside me inches forward when the fucking opposite light is still green
>eventually completely blocks off the pedestrian walkway
>it's a woman driver

GODDAMN it is always a fucking woman driver. Maybe if they were prohibited from driving large vehicles that make them feel safe they wouldn't drive like powertripping cunts. As a pedestrian, I've also been honked at by women who are turning. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO FUCKING WAIT FOR ME TO CROSS BEFORE YOU TURN BITCH IT'S MY RIGHT OF WAY.

They only need someone to give them the barest touch in order to fake injury and milk it to register for permanent disability status. Then they will receive a stipend and transition to permanent housing at one of those many discount older apartment complexes where a zillion such cases are housed. Our city has over 10,000 (ten thousand) of new disability cases in the past 12 years. Finding ways to meet disability requirements is a challenge for applicants as very many are disqualified. Almost all of the costs are furnished by both federal and state social welfare, so thankfully the city isn't slain by the costs.

>highway patrol has the nerve to fucking say to me "everybody processes things different"

Welcome to DIVERSITY mindset.
Epilipsy people get to drive too apparently.

Sometimes you have to inch forward (even into the pedi crossing) to get the sensors to trigger. You better not be one of those faggots who stops 20 fucking feet from the stop line and wonders why the light doesn't change to green...

>Drop clutch and spray with rocks
I don't see the problem

Why not just stop AT THE FUCKING LINE like everybody else in the first place? The sensor is there, you don't have to keep creeping to set it off.

You can move off when you see the amber light, you dumb cunt. Otherwise you're expected to use the time between the amber light appearing and it changing to green to prepare to move off when you see the green. Not doing so just creates traffic.

Clearing through intersection at filter(amber light) about to turn red, retard in oncoming slows down to almost stop then blasts through as I'm making turn, slow to stop and laugh as he smashes into the metal bumper on the F450 and shreds his entire front end.

He gets out, admits fault "need to get bro to airport, inna hurry sorry man"
Just a dent on the bumper so I say fuck it and just let him go after taking his insurance.
>He never made a claim so I didn't either.

This is why you don't buy the new plastic/aluminum trash.

>The sensor is there, you don't have to keep creeping to set it off.
If I am on a slight hillside, I will let off the brake and the car slides backwards, then I let it inch forwards again over the sensor in the road. That makes the light change sooner in the places that count cars as opposed to those that only check if there is one car or not.

why are you driving in downtown manhattan?

>You better not be one of those faggots who stops 20 fucking feet from the stop line
I hate those "super safe" drivers. They drive overly safe and thus cause problems. Like the ones at the stop light waiting until there is one and a half car lengths of space in front of them before they start moving just in case the car in front of them needs to stop or does a brake check. Fewer people get through a traffic light if there are 2 or more of those extra safe drivers in the queue.

>mfw

They sit so far fucking back from the stop light that if somebody decides to blow through a red they're fucked. It boggles my mind as to why people do this.

>mfw
You don't need to wonder why. Just think about how society has changed. There is constantly less courtesy and more selfishness. Thus, it is okay to be an asshole on the road because there isn't any more civility. Sure, there are still courteous drivers out there, but they are getting less and less under pressure from the selfish drivers to also become selfishly non-courteous themselves.

>crowded street with cars parked on two sides of the road leaving little room for cars to pass
>honk at you because you've waited for him to pass and his rearview mirror nearly bumped on yours

Sometimes traffic in general doesn't help. Fuck people that just leave their cars on a street taking away the space.

Pay attention to your driving. Don't tailgate and you won't rear end people.

>tfw I'm guilty for this

It's just a chance you take. either the lights will be on green or they won't. I usually do it if someone is going 10mph slower than the speed limit

>Don't tailgate and you won't rear end people.
You still have to be alert because others do not drive perfectly and may shove the rear of their car into your front end because they either don't see you in their rush or are just looking for a new rear bumper assembly from your insurance.

Like today, I avoided a rear end when some black dude raced up 2 lanes over in the HOV lane. Of course he was illegal (single occupant). He cut across two lanes (another illegal move) and moved within one foot of me and shoved right in front of me in order to make the right off ramp of all things. I thought he was going to hit me, but without thinking, my reflexes automatically took over and I braked and moved over slightly without panic hitting any other cars because my brain was already aware of them. I'm amazed my subconscious reaction went that way without thinking. I guess if you drive enough and are always thinking of defensive driving, your subsconscious may also learn to cooperate.

But damn it all, that guy was a real jerk of a driver. There would have genuinely been an accident if I had not _*actively*_ avoided him. He shoved right in and braked to get to the offramp. AND he had the left brake light NOT working too.

Welcome to Chicago, where it's possible to flip a van on it's side in such a limited amount of space.

This, you should never ride someones ass, if you rear end someone, it is ALWAYS your fault.
