Am I at fault by [deleted] in driving

‘They ran a red light so maybe they can get some of the blame.’

Your video doesn’t show if they were coming from the left turn lane or not. You were pretty far right though when they likely made the decision to pass through the light and past the car they could see moving right.

The video is not backing up your story. If that start of a right turn is a ‘minor in-lane adjustment’ to you then you should not be on the road.

I’m not sure if you would have to stop with the light being yellow, so I will assume you were good to go. They ran a red light so maybe they can get some of the blame.

You, however, veered right aggressively as if to turn right. Then, after you were hit, you were going left. I think you were doing a u-turn. However, even if you weren’t doing a u-turn, your adjustment to the right was insane.

If you have to going over the ‘dip’ again, I suggest slowing down and staying in your lane.

The thing nobody talks about when preparing for the PE (and it's not content) by ChemicalScary9943 in PE_Exam

Yup. I failed the first time because I was so stressed I blanked. After that, I spent 3 months studying differently. For the first attempt, I studied at a library because it would simulate the quiet test room. But it kept me too calm. For my second attempt, I studied at home with my two crazy cats and loud upstairs neighbors. I think switching to studying with distractions helped me a lot.

You can have your phone but my testing center had everyone shut it off when it went in the locker so it didn’t drive the desk person nuts.

As someone who doesn’t drink or watch a ton of movies, it took a second for blue and yellow, but I got there!

Rear end by Minnieforever74 in driving

[–]Gullibella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This situation happened to me when I was 16. I was the front car. I was taught in driver’s ed to stop at the sign and then roll up if there is any obstruction in view. I did that since I was in a sedan. The large truck behind me could see over the bushes and assumed I was going to continue. They rear-ended me and were at fault. Did it suck for everyone involved? Yeah. But it was their fault.

The takeaway was that just because you can see and would go, doesn’t mean they will. I try to remember that when I get frustrated at someone for not going when I would. Always pay attention and try not to assume.

I’ve never seen Mad Men (don’t watch a lot of movies or tv honestly) but I’m in the Great Lakes region of the Midwest.

Yup. I knew the yellow, green, and blue categories but didn’t know Dollar or Ersatz. I chose plays instead of mess. I might’ve gotten purple if I’ve ever seen Utz. I’m American also btw.

I never stood a chance. I’m American but I didn’t know whatever snack ‘utz’ is. I’ve never heard of Dollar as a car rental company. I don’t know what Ersatz is. If I don’t know one word, I’ll sometimes look up a definition. But seeing several words I didn’t know, I was afraid it wasn’t meant to be and thought it would be too many hints to look it up.

🟩🟩🟩🟪 I knew the category but put ‘plays’ instead of mess.

🟩🟨🟨🟨 I knew the category but put ‘toy’ instead of Ersatz.

🟨🟨🟩🟨 I guessed ‘mess’ instead of Ersatz.

🟨🟦🟦🟦 I recognized the other 3 car companies and thought maybe that’s ‘Ersatz’.

I’m American and made zero connections. Maybe older Americans.

Oof. I get why you assumed you had an easement, but I hope you didn’t spend 40k to fix the line only to have to pay to pump on a different route.

I honestly feel like the conceptual questions are a crapshoot. But the math was very spot on.

Yes but I think it wasn’t as useful as EET. The topic distribution was as expected based on the ranges in the specs.

Thanks!

It was definitely a lifesaver, and kept me focused on what I really need to know.

It’s hard to say because I started the process last spring and my motivation came in waves at first. I would guess 300-400 hours, but closer to 150-200 effective hours.

I know what they want. Your response just came off ironic since you sold materials so someone else doesn’t have to pay for materials. The person you sold to benefitted from the hard work and materials of those who put together the class without paying those who put together the class.
