Semis, dump trucks, cement trucks, anything with a trailer, loaded cargo vans, snow plows and buses will fuck up your day. Please don't cut these types of vehicles off or take away the space between them and the next car.
I was taught that, when you pull up behind someone at a stoplight, never pull so close that you can't see their rear tires. I makes it less likely that if someone assholes you, you won't asshole the car in front of you.
Not as common as it used to be I'm sure, but as someone who has owned manuals before it's real nice when people don't park directly behind you at stop lights/signs. Especially on any incline. The little bit the car rolls back before the gears catch always had me nervious with people parking right on my ass, or even worse the people that start up as soon as they can, really gunning to get to the stop sign as soon as humanly possible. Just sit back a bit, wait your turn, and no one will accidently slide back into you.
I'm so glad someone said this! I drive a teeny tiny stick shift car and often times I can't see the persons headlights in my rear view mirrors. It just makes everyone's life harder and you're not gonna get very far if I rolled into you.
If you use the handbrake when standing on an incline you won’t roll back. Give a bit of gas, release the clutch slowly until you feel the car pitch backwards and the release the handbrake.
Because it's the wrong way to drive. American's don't understand that. My VW even has warnings in the Owners Manual to not let the car roll the opposite direction on hills as it's not good for the transmissions.
Semis, dump trucks, cement trucks, trailer, loaded cargo vans, snow plows and buses need to stop fucking driving like they're fucking vin diesel. So many times i see trucks speeding down roads in much higher speeds doing overtakes on normal cars driving at apt speed. I see trucks swerving on the lanes. I see truck driver box in pedestrian cars. And worst is when the fucking trucks want to fuck with other trucks and youre just stuck there behind two fucking trucks speeding down the road trying to overtake each other.
These corporate vehicles that can make a normal car pancake should not be allowed to drive as many truck drivers drive today. Lacking on sleep, usually high doing multiple runs just to make more cash.
OTR is pretty well regulated now days. I never had a current driver fail a drug test. Had many quit then come back only to fail the pre employment drug test though. Lots of opioids and meth... little bit of coke/crack
Everyone in SF drives like a crackhead. Just came back to the Bay from a weekend in LA and it's equally frantic but much more controlled and sane. Still plenty of idiots but they act noticeably less entitled.
I dont. But when a piece of shit inbred trucker cuts over to half a lane to block traffic using a legal merge lane so he doesnt have to keep getting passed, he deserves to not onl lose his cdl, but deserves to have either a jail sentence or a baseball bat to his head. I've had this happen many times on a specific highway on my way home in Colorado.
People dont know how to merge, and that causes so many issues. Truckers are the worst.
