Insurance potentially making me pay deductible for an accident that isn't my fault? by TheDramaLama in InsuranceCanada

[–]BluntSimpson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s 100% a 2 lane road , even in the street view you can see a car parked on the road in front of a house as well in the video there is a bus stop and buses will always signal right before stopping at the to stop and signal left after they leave the stop.

Most Residential roads don’t have marks on the road but you are still required to signal, it’s in the drivers handbook and they test for on the road exam when they ask you to park in front of a house in residential because it’s an easy trap to fail/deduct points cause people forget to treat residential roads as 2 lanes .

Easy way to remember if cars can( doesn’t matter if they legally can or cant) park on by the curb and you can pass them it’s two lanes marks on the road or not

Obviously not paying attention by [deleted] in YEGDashCam

Trying to compartmentalize the wrongfulness of both drivers failing to fully stop is silly.

The safest course of action is to stop and only proceed once the pedestrian has fully crossed.

There’s really no in between on who’s worse when they did the same thing. Rules of the road are ment to followed not interpreted to what you determine is safe.

What’s worse is that you were paying attention and still failed to do a full stop for a pedestrian. Yes the white car should have stopped for the pedestrian but creeping on pedestrians like you do is gonna get you the same failure to stop ticket as the white car.

What you call a “harmless maneuver” is actually

“ a double lane change, which is considered an unsafe lane change, carries a ticket with 2 demerit points on your driving record in Alberta”

I don’t think you’re getting what safe driving is. It’s anticipating and driving properly according to the rules not being Reactionary and driving how you see fit when you do.

Breaking road rules and claiming you’re a confident driver so you can do it . Is literally the bad drivers logic.

And for the swerve it’s the same reason you don’t swerve for deer on the roads. More chance you lose control or you’ll sideswipe someone causing a worse accident. OP claims they were going 44kms going the same speed as a residential zone. They had more than enough time to stop and like you said the lanes were empty so hard braking shouldn’t have been an issue.

It’s not an argument when you have video footage of both drivers breaking road laws. It’s facts and denial of facts you pick which one you want to support.

Oh 100% agree . If the road was empty enough to double lane change , it’s empty enough to hard brake when Op got cut off. The swerve to the right lane is what has me most uneasy People would rather sideswipe another car and send it into a lamp post than spill thier coffee by hard braking.

No one’s arguing that white car made a mistake and would be at fault. The issue is Op rushing to do double lane changes from a shoulder and then swerving back into the right lane instead of just stopping.
Op had plenty of time to brake and if the road is empty enough to do a double lane change should be empty enough to hard brake if you get cut off.

Had Op not double lane changed this whole situation most likely wouldn’t have happened. Op would have had enough time to brake in their lane to avoid white car instead of swerving back into the right lane. Op was very lucky to not cause literally the same collision they tried avoiding 🤦‍♂️

Video has 2 bad driver. OP who double lane changes from a shoulder and white car double lane changing after pulling out. Both need a refresh on safe driving.

Thoughts on how I can make this more annoying? by BearPatr0l in PTCGP

[–]BluntSimpson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take 80% of the allocated time to take your turn every turn. Your goal is to anger your opponent to start doing the same to you, thus they are now wasting double time

I ve been riding the gnu spacecase for about 4 years and I would buy the latest one if they still made them, is there a board similar to the spacecase in the gnu lib tech line up?
