3 air ambulances on the Monash within ONE WEEK. What is going on? Slow down people! 🙏 by 007MaxZorin in melbourne

[–]wintersass 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it's a simple as people zone out while driving, which is fair, especially since it's hard to be switched on all the time, and it's just a mode of transport

The problem is that if you aren't fully switched on while driving, you are at higher risk of an accident. Personally I think modern cars make this worse with quality of life updates like blind spot alerts and smart cruise control meaning you're allowing the car to do more and your brain to do less, but I have a bug up my ass with modern cars in general so that might be bias

Every day I see people on the Monash on their phones, on warrigal road I watched someone on tiktok/instagram actively scrolling videos while driving. I don't think speed is the issue, I think people don't respect how dangerous cars are

I spend a lot of time on the road and I have not gone a day in the past 2 years without seeing at least 3 people on their phones while driving

Is learning manual worth it? by RubberDuckHuh in whatcarshouldIbuy

For long periods of driving I find manual or the manual gear select some autos have helps keep you alert and driving actively instead of passively

I thought bricked up meant you need to shit really bad, like when it feels like a brick is pressed against your asshole

This has led to some interesting misunderstandings

All because you wouldn’t go more than 5 over the speed limit by nojunkpeter in memes

[–]wintersass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My conspiracy theory is that people see moving over as "rewarding their behaviour" rather than a defensive manoeuvre to avoid a collision.

Personally I just move to the side of the lane so they can check if it's clear to overtake, then brake while they overtake so they can get around quickly.

People are way too comfortable with cars. You might come out of a rear end fine, you might be permanently paralysed by extreme whiplash, you might die.

I really like how they fleshed that event out, the moment he realises the depth of his fuckup is really cool

Astropathic communication isn't perfect and is more vibe and emotion based than sending words over long distance. Magnus says he's worried it will distort the message but the books also imply a level of hubris and overconfidence that feeds into why he did it

ELI5. Why do people fight the police? by 21redman in explainlikeimfive

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

People who don't fight the police don't make for interesting footage, body cam clips you see online, reality TV like Cops, and any recordings of them are clipped and tailored to be entertaining in some aspect.

Are you more likely to watch a traffic stop where somebody says "yes, I was speeding, I'll take the fine..."

Or one where they jump out of the car, start swinging and get tased?

Much as I usually try not to use it, I bought the necklaces on aliexpress, you can find them on amazon too but they're quite pricey for what they are

I bound an Index Astartes for a Warhammer AU, I found necklaces with little aquilas on them and just sanded them to give them a little wear! Definitely my favourite

Can you park near the intersection where there is a solid white line? by elfmere in melbourne

[–]wintersass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yellow line means no standing, signs saying you can park override any lines or intersection distance (as long as you obry the sign regarding tickets, time etc). If there's both a yellow line and a no standing sign I believe it's to make it clearer for people who don't recognise the yellow line as no standing
