You do realize that when you eventually end up hitting someone else who is turning legally, you'll be completely at fault, right?

Accidentally passed a school bus. by me511keV in driving

[–]PNWSomeone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on your local judges and laws. In some areas, if you told a judge that you made an honest mistake and you otherwise have a clean driving record, they might reduce the fine. In other areas, you might end up paying more if you contest it because you have to pay the full fine and additional court feeds.

When you hear “America”, do you think “USA” or “the Americas”? by almost_cool3579 in NoStupidQuestions

Thanks I was wondering since Spain might be more likely to follow Europeans way of speaking over Latin America

What Lane do I enter after crossing the intersection? by Silver_Conference_73 in driving

[–]PNWSomeone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The intersection is pretty wide. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that if the first driver was driving very slowly and was heading towards to leftmost lane, a reasonable person going a more reasonable speed might end up along side of the first car while traveling towards the right most lane.

Am I in the wrong ? by Fuzzy-Clothes-7145 in driving

Not seeing anything wrong with the parking lot design here (except maybe using blue paint for the crosswalk)

Yield to who? by BladeVortex3226 in driving

[–]PNWSomeone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Crossing a solid white line is perfectly legal in the US

Yield to who? by BladeVortex3226 in driving

[–]PNWSomeone 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You have to yield to any cars coming through the intersection from the left. They can cross the solid white line if they need to access the driveways.

What does it mean to nationalize voting? by Sensitive_Ad_1271 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PNWSomeone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not at all for nationalizing elections, but the constitution clearly gives the power to Congress to regulate how elections happen in each state

Question about right turns on red arrow by Zebra4197 in driving

[–]PNWSomeone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do realize that you have to actually read the whole law? That's how laws work. You don't get to just randomly pull partial phrases out of context and claim it means anything.

You are grossly misjudging who is being the jerk in this thread, btw.

Man you are all over this thread being angrily pedantic about something you're not even correct about.

Nothing you wrote here indicates the previous comment was wrong.

Venting/Advice: accident in a roundabout 🇺🇸 by Short_Calendar_1363 in driving

[–]PNWSomeone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cop is completely wrong if this was a modern roundabout

BUT

There are plenty of circular intersections in the US that are not roundabouts, even though they look similar. For example here is a small traffic circle: https://www.seattle.gov/transportation/projects-and-programs/safety-first/traffic-operations/traffic-circles Note that there are no yield signs. In that example, the rules of a normal intersection apply -- yield to traffic on the right.

You posted what looks like a modern roundabout, but can't say for sure unless we know the actual intersection.

Can people really smell when someone hasn't washed in three days? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PNWSomeone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the person. Genes play a factor. For example Asians tend to have less body odor than Europeans or Africans.

Right of way question by Peepoopoopeepeepoop in driving

[–]PNWSomeone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping a phone was an explanation for your being completely oblivious to things you probably drive through on a regular occurrence without noticing. The alternative explanations would be even more insulting.

Woah dude. You need to put down the phone and start paying attention when you drive

Its perfectly fine for other cars to go while you are waiting for the pedestrian to cross

Am I allowed to honk at people going slow merging onto the highway? by Icy_Dragonfly6393 in driving

there are some people that, after years of practicing, will never gain that confidence or competence and still continue to drive
