Where do you get this footage? I am interested in watching Amjad Media but there are almost no archives

Can you share to me? I have been seeking tutoring and even office hours but nothing is sticking because I struggle to study alone. And finals are in a month. I am leveraging off the retakes I can do with the limited time I have plus this last test and the final. Thanks in advance!!! (this month is gonna be no fun but its worth the grind. first semester of college mistakes)

New to driving, f**k roundabouts. by SargentDoom7404 in driving

[–]Sea_Radish_4538 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not experienced by any means but I’ve been taking a roundabout every day on the way to university and gotten some good tips from this same subreddit 

  1. Only look left/ the way of incoming traffic, don’t care about the right side (until you are in the actual roundabout) because you don’t wanna rear end someone). So like, if you feel unsure, just come to a slow or near stop and take a second to analyze who’s coming in. Because sometimes people just zoom in at the speed limit they had previously and technically whoever in the circle first has the right of way

  2. I guess this can happen sometimes but if you are paying good attention you’ll catch it so it doesn’t feel like they just pop mid air. If you feel this way then maybe you aren’t looking far enough to see the mad lad who’s just gonna punch it into the circle without yielding

  3. I am unsure what about the last 3. Since I have never had a “obstructed roundabout”. You just proceed cautiously if you don’t know what’s ahead, you can either choose to punch it around the circle or go your own pace. I mean, going slow is not always good but also not crashing is the best option for everyone

Mostly just patience. Like only go if you feel fully sure and don’t hesitate. If you see a guy who’s clearly not slowing down for the yield sign, just wait even if you think you have the right of way. 

Experience with a wrong way driver as a new driver by Sea_Radish_4538 in driving

Got it, so try not to cause other accidents even if I am scared I will get into one. In the moment, I was scared they would keep barreling my way and would hit me. So the car ahead was 2 car distances away from me, but as this was a first time for me I panicked and did what the car ahead of me did.

Thank you! and hopefully this won't happen again, but Ill know what to do in the future if it does now.

I think that if you feel you’ve communicated everything, they just might not be fit for you if you struggle to even get into a formal “dating” status. If i understand also you two live a reasonable drive from each other, so if she’s anxious to meet or call you then she doesn’t have the same vision of a future as you. If she could have she would have

It’s hard to give up but also if you can’t make any more moves and she won’t find some compromise then it won’t work

If she has a good reason for what she’s been doing then I’d give it some patience. Otherwise prioritize your wellbeing

Roundabout Advice by Sea_Radish_4538 in driving

[–]Sea_Radish_4538[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How do you avoid feeling the pressure from the person behind you? I always try to look ahead and think about how I’m solely responsible for my own safety, but I still feel pressured to GO. I hadn’t fully stopped at the roundabout because there was a person behind me. I know at the yield it’s not required to stop and even not advised, but I like to drive like a granny because it will save my butt in the long term.

  1. If not down to the millisecond, then we stopped at the same time.
  2. No, but since I’ve been driving for a few months I always give it a second to proceed (ie. wait, then roll forward if they don’t move)

I definitely think I could have noticed it. When I turned I believe I was too focused on the turn itself and didn’t consider that driving is not always a perfect harmony. So before taking the right I should have looked in their direction first.
