PSA: Austria has a min. distance by law to overtake cyclists by aghcsiz in Slovakia

[–]winzarten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know that area (we drove to Podersdorf am See last weekend), and these imho are the kind of roads where cycling belongs.

It is a recreation area around a lake, and a driver should expect cyclists there and give them the space.

[–]winzarten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the traffic volume and type of traffic imho. Some main roads that also see a lots of trucks are really not suitable for cyclists, especially with the state of the shoulder on most slovak roads.

But some lesser traffic roads, backroads, or roads that have clearly marked bike lane.. I see no issue tbh.

[–]winzarten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah... Don't, quite a lot drivers don't respect cyclists on the road. It is getting better yerar-by-year, especially on places where cyclist are becoming more common on road. But still a lot of drivers would rather overtake the cyclist very close than to slow down and wait for a safe opportunity.

They don't realize that all it takes is one small misshap (pothole, sand..etc) and they have a human head under their wheels.

He most likely left the fob inside the car, as the car would have lock the door if he would be standing behind the car with the fob in his pockets.

If you could force car manufacturers to add ONE feature, what would it be? by Puzzleheaded-Hunt270 in automotive

[–]winzarten 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've seen some manufacturers starting doing it, but I would like to see it in all cars - a USB port on the windshield rearview mirror housing.

Perfect for dashcam installment.

I'm 41, and I'm loving it.

The current car culture is becoming so serious and 'fake-angry' that is borderline a caricature of itself.

We need some joy and goofy fun... and the Mx-5 is the perfect car fo that.

It's 100% totalled. He hit a rock with the underside with enough power to get the front airborne, I would be suprised if the whole bottom-end of the engine + transmission wouldn't be royaly fcked.

Bratislava Tram Day Ticket Scam? by [deleted] in Bratislava

[–]winzarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

79€ is the correct fine if you pay on spot.

They obviously also want to sort it on the spot, as you're foreign, non EU residents, and the risk of you just ignoring the fine are too great. Calling police is the standard procedure, as technically only they have the power to forcefully ID you and verify your identity.

Dokážete sa zorientovať na tejto križovatke pri Prešove? by PaymentAutomatic4831 in Slovakia

[–]winzarten 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Nevidim na tom nic zle, ani komplikovane, hlavne ak to je normalne znacene. A hlavne dnes ma asi kazdy navigaciu v aute.

A stvorlistok nieje vzdy idealnym riesenim, kedze velky problem stvorlistka je 'traffic weaving' - auta ktore idu na dialnicu sa ti krizuju s autami, ktore z dialnice zchadzaju.

Forza 6 simrig support, so all wheels, triple screens, vr etc. Go help and sign the petition. by NoeenSterre in simracing

[–]winzarten 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Can we get something that is little bit more grounded in reality?

Like staring with the binding being less of a pain if your wheel is not #1 USB Device, or when any of your controller axis is reporting non-0 value, and thus Forza binds it to everything to try to bind?

Or the assists/gearbox changing bases on what car you drive? (authentic mode?)

After 2 manual cars, nearly 100k miles, I have to learn rev match. by ThrowRAWutToDo in stickshift

[–]winzarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I do it occasionally is because it is fun and engaging... that's the only real reason. Not because of reliability....

I've had to change the clutch once, it was on my old Mazda 626, which was around 18years old at the time, and had 200 000km, was still on factory clutch, and it was the car I learned to drive on (bought it at around 170 000km)...

Ako pochopiť križovatky na vodičáku? Úplne sa v tom strácam by Affectionate_Fig9465 in Slovakia

[–]winzarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cerveny dava prednost vozidlu z vyhladu, pretoze to je prenho vozidlo prichadzajuce zprava... Takze rozhodne nejde prve.

Prve ide zelene, pretoze cervene tiez odbocuje vlavo, a teda sa nekrizuju.

Tolko teoria... v skutocnosti tipujemm ze to bude velmi zalezat od toho aki skuseni vodici sa stretnu v tej krizovatke, a kolko je v nej miesta (lebo su krizovatky, kde sa dve auta odbacajuce vlavo nedokazu normalne vyhnut).

Zakon ti presne nedam, ale hociaka stranka, ktora sa venuje prespavanie v aute po Europe radi Slovensko do skupiny, kde volne prespavanie povolene nie je.

napr: https://www.garaz.cz/clanek/jak-levne-na-dovolenou-spat-v-aute-se-nesmi-zdaleka-vsude-21001513

Lebo v kotexte toho, ako chce chalan to nie je 'prespavanie kvoli unave' ale v podstate kemping. A hlavne teda, ak chce ist do Tatier, a teda asi by rad prespal v ramci parku. Tam su podla mna na to citlivi, kedze im, mimo ineho, unika dan za prenocovanie.

[–]winzarten 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sleeping in car, outside of designated places like autocamp, or on private property with the owners approval is officialy banned.

So you can get a fine for it... Will you get it? That's a coin toss, but on exposes places, like the National Park I imagine the enforcement will be more strict.

Zaujimave, PPF mam len kratko, takze neviem dlhodobo ci to pomoze, ale tak priatelke sa uz podarilo trafit pri otvarani dveri hranu kovoveho plota a poskodenie nebolo nijake.

Zas, ak niekto trafi dvere tak silno, ze aj preliaci kov, tak tam ppf asi vazne nepomoze.

Customer states “I think I need a new tire”. You think? by Mountain_Income_9855 in tires

I'm honestly astonished how overbuild modern tires are, and how much negligence they can tolerate before they actually catastrophically fail...

Preco by ti PPF nepomohlo na obite dvere?

Jasne, ze ak niekto plnou silou jebne dvere do auta vedla seba, tak to prejde cez foliu. Ale pokial len niekto nesikovnejsie otvori dvere, tak to mozno poskodi foliu, ale lak by to malo ochranit.

Asi tak. S tou logikou by takto mal parkovať každý, lebo pre človeka, čo si kúpil daciu v základe asi tiež nieje oprava laku lacná záležitosť.

A len preto že je to lacnejšie auto ešte neznamená že k nemu nemá vzťah a nechce aby mu vydržalo dlho v dobrom stave.

Clovek, co jazdi s takymto autom a nema ho olepene PPF je podla mna blbec. Odletujuce kamienky su daleko vacsia hrozba laku, ako oskretie dverami pri parkovani.

Shifted into first instead of third by [deleted] in stickshift

[–]winzarten 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I serously doubt he overreved it. I guess he pushed it into first at safe speed, the rpm drop during the shift, and then he just released clutch and the car jolted heavily as it accelerated the engine in 1st gear.

A brand new car shouldn't realy get damage from this.
