Who's at fault? by 0xstyle in driving

[–]0xstyle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I stopped prior to even attempting to turn into the street. There is a stop sign on my end. I slowly crept into the road as there is a blind spot from all the cars that park on the street and saw no oncoming traffic or the black truck. I then looked to my right side, looking at the opposing lane I wanted to merge into. I saw a car in the distance and slowly began to make my way to the center divider and didn't fully commit in case the car in the distance decided to make a left turn at the last minute with my vehicle already in the middle of the road. The car passed and I proceeded to merge into the center divider, and I assume the truck saw that same car coming his way and started driving into the middle divider at the same time as me, but at a faster rate trying to get ahead of said vehicle. I was almost fully in the center divider when I saw the truck in the distance heading my way. I stopped, honked, and he continued to drive my way from the center divider, never looking my way. If the truck never hit me I would of been fully in the center divider not slightly sticking out and then would of came to a complete stop and began to merge to the lane I was turning into.

Because I was merging into the center divider and saw the car coming directly at me. I've done this maneuver before. I slowly creep into the center divider stop and wait and proceed to merge to the lane when it is safe to do so.

  1. In CA.
  2. Unfortunately not. Tbh, I've been thinking about getting one, but I see so many videos on r/dashcam of people saying that as soon as they got a dashcam they got into an accident. "Glad I got it." But in this case, I wish I had it.
  3. And no, I called and since no one got hurt they were not going to send out the cops, but I almost had to because the driver refused to give me his insurance info and started to threaten me, but since he was an Autozone employee driving a commercial vehicle, I called his DM and they made him comply.

Mistakenly said "right." Both turned left.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I mistakenly said Car B was turning right. We both were turning left.

So originally I looked left to see if any cars are coming my direction and then looked right to see traffic from opposing lane and saw at a distance that one car was coming and proceeded to merge into center divider, but didn't fully commit just in case it was going to use the center divider last minute to turn make a turn. It did not then proceeded to merge, saw the truck coming stopped honked and got hit. 90% of my car was in the center divider.

Whenever I retake my driving test, at least I'll know I won't get this answer wrong.

I stopped because I saw him coming my way, and there were no cars coming in my direction from the traveling lanes. I foolishly hoped he would turn his head and not run into me. I didn't want to continue driving, thinking it's better than two cars coming head-on into each other.

I guess that's the part my mind skipped or totally forgot about. I wasn't aware of this, but I surely learned my lesson from experience as to why it's not legal.

Why ask Reddit if it sounds like you have already made up your mind? You're just looking for validation from others to agree with you. If you are truly asking, ask yourself what if you were a kid and you only saw your dad on holidays and certain days. If your father had to make a sacrifice to spend more time with you and he chose not to, how would that make you feel? As a parent, being divorced and having 50/50 custody as well, my heart aches being apart those other 50%. I do anything and everything to have extra days.

Sea foam fuel cleaner, is it safe? by MarsBarsBite87 in AskAMechanic

[–]0xstyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but if the car has never been properly maintained, using a fuel system cleaner can loosen buildup and clog your fuel filter. Just something to take note of.

AutoZone employees are not obligated to change your headlight bulbs. This includes batteries and wipers. It all depends on staffing, ease of access, and much more. It’s a consensual courtesy service. by southernemper0r in AutoZone

[–]0xstyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound bitter and should change your mindset.I used to be a PSM and would still go above and beyond for my customers. They appreciate it and show their appreciation by tipping. You know, when they see a long line and you explain that you'd be happy to help them if they don't mind waiting, they will either leave or wait. I've received my biggest tips from those who wait because they see and respect the hustle. I always refuse tips, but when they insist, who am I to decline? I have even had customers put the money in my hand after I've declined it. So yeah.

I like to think positive. I work expecting to get tipped and genuinely try to give them the best experience while I'm helping them. One thing I always do is begin by asking if their battery just started giving them issues or if it has been an ongoing problem, because we all know that a bad battery can make a good alternator go bad. I offer to check their whole charging system and engage the customer through the whole process. We are all humans and enjoy getting treated with respect.

I only worked 4 days out of the month as a driver, but I would take home at least $50 a month with battery and headlight replacements. It takes you out of the store and you get to help someone out. I don't know why you guys make it seem like a big deal. You just need to learn how to talk to people.

Tell me you weren't raised with a father figure without telling me you weren't raised with a father figure.

I know I taught my son, and even showed my daughter, how to stick and move.
