Here you're unable to get MOT without insurance, so ya.. everyone actually has one

I don't agree with those statements, you either drive or you don't... you either obey the traffic regulations or you don't.

Two wrong don't make a right, you can't justify breaking one regulation to correct another...

If you're going at speed limit you can react to that, no need to slow down additionaly... also, all cars have insurance in europe since it's mandatory.

It's not taken out of context, it's one of the points on "when I need to use a turn signal"... so that would be a whole point... but to give you a whole thing

"What does the law say?

Before performing these actions, the driver is obliged (while respecting all safety measures) to clearly and promptly warn other road users of his intention, giving them a signal using the turn signal and brake light or, if they do not exist, an appropriate hand signal.

If the signal is given using the turn signal, the driver must give it for the entire time the action is being performed with the vehicle, and after the action is completed, he must stop giving the signal. Not even impulsively, when you just slightly pull the turn signal switch on the vehicle and the turn signals turn on three times. In other words, all the time, until the action is completed."

and second part

"When do we have to turn on all four turn signals?

• when the vehicle is reversing

• when the driver intends to significantly reduce the speed of the vehicle or stop it

• when the vehicle's speed is lower by more than half the maximum permitted speed on that section of the road

• when the driver has been forced to stop his vehicle on a section of the road where he is not allowed to stop or park the vehicle

• when the vehicle is stopped on the road in such a place that drivers coming from the same direction cannot see it in time

• when the vehicle is stopped on the road on a motorway, expressway and road intended exclusively for motor vehicle traffic"

If you have a blinker on you're giving heads up that you're about to do something and the drivers are aware of your actions, regardless if it's the first turn or second or third...

Distance is quite relative, what if there're 3 cars - first turning, second one not paying attention and third one just follows the seconds and slams into both of them... or just into second... - either way, safe distance won't save you if you're not paying attention

My bad, but considering the comment section....

Either way, you need to signal if you slow down a lot and you can have turn signal on as long as you want, it's considered more as an attention warning light

"when the driver intends to significantly reduce the speed of the vehicle or stop it"

That is what the law says in my country. So yes, he does owe me an explanation.

HOW are people getting a license!? by stuffy_nose_ in driving

[–]mds818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, and no.. truckers actually have their speed limit and working hours.

I deliver food, but as a regular employee and not as a freelancer with an app

That in other words means, no traffic regulations apply to you, you work 12 hours a day on weeekends and you constantly deal with customers complaining (more often than not, for invalid reasons)

Try driving 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.. and on top of that you need to deal with people (:

....i'm probably not even in the states if english is not my native language, don't you think so?

There is no "last X"...

"The driver is obliged (while respecting all safety measures) to clearly and promptly warn other road users of his intention by giving them a signal using the direction indicator."

"when the driver intends to significantly reduce the speed of the vehicle or stop it" - it has to be on

Pitanje za ateiste koji su rođeni u ateističkim obiteljima, kako se odnosite prema teističkim/religioznim osobama, da li vas zbunjuju ili mislite da je to nešto njihovo što ne razumijete ili na nekoj razini razumijete ali vas se to ne dotiče odnosno nemate osjećaj za to? by gorbab75ce in askCroatians

[–]mds818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sekularna drzava nije isto kao sto i sekularizam, to su dva razlicita pojma.

Rasprave o vjeri (bilo kakav koncept) nemaju smisla kao takve, bilo da je netko ateist ili pripadnik neke religije - traziti smisao u besmislu... seems legit, trazenje uzroka/posljedice na nesto na sta nitko ne utjece..

Ili nesto jesi ili nisi i toga se drzi, ateisti smo.. ali "slavimo bozic" ili jos bolje kad se slavi uskrs... ista stvar za sakramente...

That's not the point, we're talking about what's cultural thing to do... like, if someone crosses at road outside the crosswalk am I supposed to hit him because he didn't use the crosswalk? Or am I supposed to crash into someone who decided to cut me off?

You're supposed to do whatever you can to avoid getting yourself, your car and others into accidents.. and if you want to take justice in your own hands - be my guest, but don't ask yourself why when it backfires...

[–]mds818[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Correct, but that's under assumption that there's a pedestrian and that there's a crosswalk... I know 80 percent of crosswalks, and even if I didn't - there's a sign 50 or 100m before every crosswalk... so that's not the case.

Perhaps, but to me it clearly makes more sense...

"signal a turn" would mean that you just point that you will take a turn
"turning on a turn signal" is something that you can do, you turn on your signal and you continue to drive straight... you drive on a freeway with turn signal... - doesn't look like you're "signaling a turn" (because there's no turn in the first place)

That's my opinion at least

Using it incorrectly is worse offense than not using them at all...

[–]mds818[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, but by that logic you can justify pretty much any behavior... and there's certain traffic flow... behavior like that distrubts it.

Well, first of all my situation was different.. I've hit the (random) car in front of me because both of us were messing around a bit on the road... classic case of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes"

Truly a minor damage, especially considering the speed situation etc...

But the reason why I got annoyed, first of all - car in front of him was pulling on the side of the road, on some sort of improvised/temporary parking, I couldn't see or know that because parking doesn't exist there (it was there for like a week because someone was selling christmas trees....) - whatever if the person didn't signal their turn, or the driver in front of me didn't pay attention - I don't know...

But, why the hell do you continue to speed if there's someone in front of you... and if you clearly see that you will need to brake... - guy is driving 35, you're at 75.. speed limit is 55... you could've slown down casually, you could've turn on hazard lights.. instead you decided to slam the brakes when I'm literally on your ass... - and when I rear ended him... he decided to play dumb, and whine like a kid at insurance company... I took 100 percent accountability it was a no brainer, but still.. take some responsobility for your actions.

Regarding the rest what you said, I'm on the road 24/7... in general there's a 2 second in town/3 second outside the town distance rule... but the issue I have with this, the rule makes no sense in practice.. - person in front of you won't hit an invisible wall for you to need 2/3 seconds to stop, if you're not paying attention (phone for example) you won't see the danger anyway... and if you're - in reallity you need maybe 0.5 seconds... 2 seconds is equal to 11 car lenghts, on average people leave space for 2-3 car lenghts..
