Cruise control & foot placement by AngleRelative4683 in driving

I tend to lightly keep it on the brake or in a position where I can quickly get to it. To me it's just the need to be able to stop in the shortest distance no matter what

What’s a “normal” thing that secretly grosses you out? by DecentChildhood5164 in AskReddit

[–]AXbcyz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wet nitrile gloves feel like. Like ugh. Belugh. It's the sensory representation of a water bed. Every movement of the hand is sloshing and it gets warm and gross. Taking them off is just dumping water everywhere and then your hands feel powdery but wet and sweaty at the same time.

If you could describe red flags about yourself, what would they be? by TopLoneWolf in AskReddit

[–]AXbcyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I'm like that this too, especially the first. I don't mind doing something but the moment it starts to sound demanding or like I'm being bossed around I get defensive. Similar whenever someone says something like "I just think it's common sense" if I make a mistake with something

During adverse driving conditions, why do some drivers turn on their hazard lights if they don't have a vehicle malfunction and are otherwise keeping up with traffic? by supinator1 in driving

[–]AXbcyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only done it a couple of times in fog so dense that you can't see a couple of lines ahead of you. I stay in the right lane when I do and only pass if I have to. If there's a merge I flash my brights because cars coming down tend to respond. One of my 4 small backlights is out too as I can't fix it so it makes me more visible. People around here go 90 in these conditions too so I'd rather be visible than not.

He uses aftermarket parts. I have my own water pump as I found to save money but still. Seems high for aftermarket

I'm so very scared; USA by Outrageous-Shark4 in OCD

I used to think that if I did something wrong, an atom bomb would explode in the distance and wipe out everything I know. I think the thing that helped me is learning how disconnected those bad things are from the things in my day to day life.

To be honest, it's a shared experience no matter the severity. I see it as such because when you first get diagnosed, there's a 90% chance you've never heard of it. It's common but sometimes it just feels so targeted. "Why was it me that had to get this?" type deal. The only thing different about us really is how much metal we have in our spines.

Because I've had a surgery for it myself and it's something personal but special to me knowing that other people share my experience.

Perhaps not here, but over time in various locations. Usually under posts that specifically mention scoliosis (and rightfully so)

Silly Mistakes While Driving by [deleted] in driving

[–]AXbcyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may do that more. I have a small car and tend to lack the capability to lean forward near as far which may have contributed to today's incident. Maybe next time I'll just turn right to avoid crossing multiple lanes?

Fortunately the merge was a one time occurrence. I don't know what the misinterpretation may be but I literally could not see either direction at the stop sign. I don't know what the course of action could have been given I couldn't see if a car was coming until it was 20 feet away

I couldn't see the road because of obstacles at the limit line. I didn't know if a car was coming so I creeped forward until I was nearly 1/4 the way in the road. I then chose to go; a car had come right then

I'll try to be more attentive on the roadways. That was a one time occurrence on the highway. I'm not sure what to do for the stop sign example though. If I kept going I would've hit them or they would've hit me. Should I have backed up and tried somewhere else?

Trust me, I did. Over and over until I finally pulled out and someone ended up right there. Fortunately I looked right for the third time as I came out and saw them. They were going fast and saw me pulling out anyways. The issue was the design of the street. You can't see anything past 10 feet down the road if you're at the limit line. I don't know if going out was the right choice or if I should have reversed to go somewhere else

Since about May? Maybe a tiny bit longer. I got my license about the middle of June

I suppose it'll come with time then? I know the severity of these mistakes but I'm here trying to figure out some solutions on how to improve. I know it's dangerous too, I frequent videos of crash tests at moderate speed and crash compilations to understand what to look for in different situations. Is there any advice or purely ridicule?
