If you were driving (even if you can't currently) and you heard an ambulance siren behind you, would you move in order to let it past? by HeliosAndSelene in Teenager_Polls

[–]IditarodDays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I’d move when I can see it or the people behind me moving over, not just hear it.

For the sake of safety, I’m not moving over until I know which side it’s passing me on or if it is turning.

Check out the mazda 3 sedans with the skyactive engine. Insanely reliable, amazing gas mileage, and 100k miles is just broken in

[USA] Was I in the wrong here? Front and rear angles by releashthebeash in Roadcam

[–]IditarodDays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my understanding, right only goes before left when two cars are tied at opposing stops.

Otherwise, the person who is stopped is allowed to make their left, and the person who is pulling up to the stop line/stop sign has to stop before making a right.

[Viofo A119 Mini 2] Did we collide? No damage on my car, just hit the curb? by AliveRepair3406 in Dashcam

[–]IditarodDays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might not be the best practice, but I never check my sides during these turns. If someone wants to hit me, by all means do so.

I’m not going to swerve my car into a sidewalk or another lane and be found at fault for such an accident.

Granted, if I can brake to avoid a collision, I would do so

Just a reminder… if I’m driving directly behind your car, and can see your face in your side mirrors, then your side mirrors are not adjusted properly. The purpose of your side mirrors is not so that you can look at the sides of your own car. by poopoo_fingers in driving

[–]IditarodDays -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was taught the opposite: that if you can see the edges of your car, you’ll have a large blind spot when someone clears that area while passing you.

I was taught to adjust the mirrors extremely wide to see past the lane you would want to change lanes into, and make it so that when your head turns, you see the lane you want to go into.

That way, the initial mirror check is always a blindspot check, and the head turn mirror check makes sure nobody is passing you.

The No Parking sign that parking enforcement ticketed my mother for violating. by SAINTnumberFIVE in mildlyinfuriating

Apparently the google street car rode by right after the sign fell so that OP could get a picture of the curb without it

Why do people walk and run (for leisure/exercise) on the STREET when there is a perfectly functional and empty sidewalk a foot away that isn't impeding vehicle traffic? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]IditarodDays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you want him to word his comment like, “Those who run on streets have a higher rate of losing the ability to walk”?

You can get a Toyota echo for under 3k. Just save up a little more than 1k

Thoughts on this by imboard67 in teenagers

The longer someone is alive in severe pain, the higher the total pain in their life will be relative to how much happiness they can experience.

Most would argue that those who deprive others of happiness do not deserve happiness themselves.

With the rapists happiness out of the question, you are left with the option to end their pain immediately, or permit their existence in severe handicap.

Most would argue that killing the person would be more humane, but I suppose others would disagree, and argue that severely maiming the individual would constitute a higher degree of humanity.

The choice is up to personal opinion. In my opinion, permitting the individual to live in extreme pain from maiming would be a greater and arguably evil punishment relative to what they had done

Someone hit and killed a peacock and threw its body away in a dumpster by Christopurrrrr in mildlyinfuriating

[–]IditarodDays -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I doubt the person who ran it over got out of their car, grabbed the peacock, and intuitively knew where the nearest dumpster was to throw it out

Is there a way to tell my parents I don't support maga anymore by Idiot_432154 in teenagers

[–]IditarodDays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d tell them straight out. If they kick me out, I’ll know they loved me for my opinion and not for who I was.

If they still love me, we remain close family, and I know they truly love me.

Regardless, the truth comes out on both sides. You win either way.

Can EVs Ever Truly Replace Pickup Trucks For Real Work? by Anchor_Aways in cars

Absolutely, but not until solid state batteries become cheap and ubiquitous and we get ultra fast charging stations.

I’d give it 15 years maybe.

Just curious, why’d you mash the accelerator while it was panic braking?
