and another, related wild take. you can miss an exit or a turn and keep going straight. it may take longer to get where you're going, and it may be frustrating, but it's safer and better than cutting people off
The only time I've ever said fuck in front of my mother was when she cut across 3 lanes of traffic to get to the exit, and ended up getting stuck in the zebra divider until there was a big gap in traffic.
When she slammed on the brake and jerked the wheel, upon realizing she wanted to make the exit I just yelled "What that FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?"
Surprisingly even though I was still in high school, she never mentioned it. Either she realized she fucked up and let it slide or she didn't hear me over the honking of cars, a semi, and the yelling of my dad and sister.
A bad driver never misses their exit.
😂 I imagined this in Domenic Turettos voice
“It doesn’t matter how many lanes the highway has. I’ll cut through all of them to get to my family.”
Ffs, I wish people thought this way. Oh shit, I need to cross five lanes of traffic right now!
This exit or death!
It should also be a lesson to pay better attention.
The only people who need to hear this won’t listen.
My partner backed into a space yesterday and asked me, "are we good?" I said, "not great." She opened her door to check the line, laughed, re-parked. Some people understand.
LOL I've done this many times. It's a matter of pride. I don't want people to be like, did a cat park this?
Cats tend to be exactly inside the box, I would expect them to park inside the lines every single time.
You haven't met my mother's Siamese. The cross eyed bastard will scratch around in the box, line up, and spray all over the wall/floor outside of the box.
Lmfao I had to start using the covers for litter boxes since one of mine does this. I feel bad, like I know it's not great for them to feel confined but...I am not letting that continue
maaan, one time i pulled in awkward to the corner of a parking lot at a trail head to wait for my friend. i was pulled forward and at an angle so i could see past the other cars and know if my friend had driven past the lot. the was no cell service so i had to go flag him down when i saw him since the rail head wasn't very well marked. I made sure i wasn't in anyone's way, but it was an ugly ass park job if it had actually been a park job.
as I was sat there with my windows cracked two dudes walked past and spent like 5 minutes shitting on Subaru drivers because of my park job. they didn't see me in the car i guess. like, they were just making incorrect assumptions, but it still kinda hurt...
Even my cats gets up and moves when he flops on my lap the wrong way. Don't blame all cats for this.
Is a cat park kind of like a dog park?
Similarly, if you're not in an extra long vehicle, you don't need to veer way out to the left to make a right hand turn. A KIA Sonota isn't an extra long vehicle.
Also on this note, if there's a turn lane get fully in it before turning. It may as well not even be there at all if you're gonna sit half out into the driving lane to slow down.
Blinker, turn lane, brakes. People tend to apply these in the wrong order.
And most importantly: always believe in yourself.
But they are going to miss the racing line!
depends on how 'unsuccessful' you were the first try.
I remember going to a post office and a car had gone in partially through the wall. They weren't able to try again.
Wait people need to hear this? I thought this was common knowledge and that ass holes existed
While I get the point, this does overlook the seeming law of physics that if you fuck it up once, you will fuck it up every subsequent time.
Explain how
get out of the car
disassemble the car
reassemble everything in an appropriate location
Smh, can't believe my secret to perfect parking got leaked 😒
git checkout -b car
git rebase new_parking_spot
git push --force-with-lease
Let's say you turn right to park in a spot but your turning radius sucks so you're at an angle and your rear right is really close to the car sitting in the space to the right.
Crank the wheel right as far as it'll go and crawl forward a handful of inches so the front of your car is equally close to the car on the right and you're parallel with that car but really close.
Straighten your wheels, reverse out all parallel to that car until your front bumper clears that car, then crank the wheel left and crawl in reverse a handful of inches, until the rear of the car is aiming in the other direction.
Straighten the wheel and crawl another couple of inches, until your rear axle is centered in the space, then put it in drive and pull right in now that the rear is centered.
You'll see some people try to straighten out but they just straight up reverse out of the spot and wind up back at square one, you don't want to do that, you want to use a bit excess room in front of and behind the car to essentially guide the offending axle into place, once that's done rest follows
Floor it?
I once saw a lady struggle to park in her spot for like 30s, back out, then leave. Another valid technique.
Money can be exchanged for goods and services!
No. I take my cat as an example. If it fits, it sits.
