Howdy SE++,
With our diverse community, there are lots of forumers who drive cars, bikes, and all manner of vehicles.
If you do, you are sure to encounter some interesting peers on the road.
Heck, even pedestrians encounter oddities out there.
This is a thread for discussing all the fun scenarios one might encounter on the way to school / work / etc.
I'll start off with my experience this morning.
I happened to be waiting to make a right turn, on a busy intersection, aided with traffic lights.
Now normally at these intersections, you might not wait for a green turn arrow/light
and go ahead and make a right turn if you had easy visibility and knew there was no clear traffic.
I encountered an interesting lady who decided she didn't need,
1.) Visibility
2.) Green Turn Arrows or Green Light
3.) No Cars in front of her
Her decision was to honk her horn, and then when they didn't see any reaction,
(presumably she wanted me to suicide into traffic on a red light with no arrows for her)
, finally decided to dangerously drive between my car and my neighbors into straight into cross traffic.
Thankfully everyone reacted and slowed down for this "interesting" driver.
There was a nice conversation to be had, with rolled down windows at the block down the road,
as sure enough, there was a string of red lights and intersections down the road, she turned on.
Several comments of
"Lady that was incredibly dangerous!"
"Hey! you almost hit me, Never do that again!"
with unrolled windows
To her
"They weren't turning!"
Ultimately, no time was saved by their shenanigans, and they found an awkward moment around a bunch of ticked off peers.
I generally try to be humble on the road, as heck we've all done dumb stuff.
That's my story, What sort of drivers have y'all encountered?
Feel free them to share here.
