what’s the joke? Even from a motorist’s point of view, what is the joke supposed to be? Are we sure this isn’t intended for r/boomer_humor?
You know, today I was at an intersection with my bike, where I had a stop sign and the other street had a lot of traffic. Usually I wait for a car on my street to try crossing so I can cross with them because no car is gonna stop for a bicycle. But I made the mistake of staying on the right side when apparently most of the cars on my street wanted to turn right, going in front of me. Less than half of them used their turn signal. Seriously people?
Stop signs are a situation where I ALWAYS take the lane. Going through the intersection with a car is a recipe for disaster. I take my own turn like any other vehicle. I stop at the line right in the middle where a car can’t just slip around me like I’m not even a fucking there, I plant my foot, and make eye contact with anyone approaching the intersection before I pick up my foot again.
I kind of just stay behind the car in front of me and let their actions tell me their intent.
I can’t be too hypocritical because I fail to signal on a bike much - I’m using two hands to control my braking and direction, and signaling costs one.
You wait for a car to initiate crossing because the road is so busy that you need to just cross and hope the cars without a stop sign will slow down for you? That sounds like a horrible intersection for everybody.
Yeah, one of the places in dire need of a traffic light. But in the absence of it I will definitely blame cars for not following basic rules.
If you drive at all you’re a psychopath and a garbage human being.
That’s a ridiculous take. What about mass transit drivers? Ambulance drivers? Fire truck drivers?
Give your head a shake.
