I really appreciate living in my neighborhood which has great access to public transportation! But you know what really grinds my gears; oh there is no bus at the moment let park here real quick. And then guess what the bus comes and now the bus riders have to bare the nuisance. Or even the morons who park over night like the one pictured above, blocking the sidewalk path.
Transit drivers should be allowed to photograph the offender and send the plates to the DMV for a fine if the vehicle does not move in 30 seconds after the bus arrives. And the fine should be $100 for 1st offense, $250 next, $500 third.
500 is way too low. They are blocking critical infrastructure. Should be a 1% of pre-tax monthly income per minute imo
Transit drivers should be allowed to bulldoze them out of the way
I’m a school bus driver. We are actually trained to push cars the fuck out of the way if they block us from completing a railroad track crossing. I actually ran into this situation my first day of driving training – I stopped before the tracks, put my emergency blinkers on and opened my door, and a car behind me passed me (which is illegal) and then got stuck on the tracks behind another car. My trainer was like 'GO! HIT HIM!" but I couldn’t do it. He was really pissed at me.
I live near a town that has a trolley that runs down the middle of the main (2-lane) street. Because the street has parking on both sides, cars can’t get past the trolley in either direction, so you frequently get the hilarity of multiple cars trying to back out of its way to the nearest intersection. But at rush times the parking spots are all full and you get multiple idiots double-parking, which just jams up the entire town. Like, how fucking stupid do you have to be to park on shiny railroad tracks?
In My country, parking next to a bus stop is illegal and will get you towed.
In my country, the police don’t do anything. It’s up to the community to put a rock through the windshield
In my country, I assume the police are just answering stupid calls and driving around and not taking cats off of tree branches either.
you got sidewalks? Fancy
What do y’all do when someones stopped in cross walk waiting to turn? I sometimes just want to hop on the hood; though, usually I just drag my hand across the rear window or hood.
Use a loud whistle, like an emergency whistle. When they see you, smile and wave.
When you accomplish a victory for humanity and don’t even get the royalties.
For 20+ years. Fixed in 2019.
Just in time to get that half of a penny per play.
Knock on the car. Just keep knocking until they backup
They make cards you can stick on people’s windshields, I am so tempted because I am driven by spite, but I also am tempered by age… and realize there are cameras now and I would quickly get a reputation.
you forgot the signs that say anyone walking on HOA grass will either be shot or arrested.
Bring your keys
So you walk in the street, and then get yelled at.
lol suburbs
Douchebags.
Douchebags, everywhere!
My neighborhood has good parking but people still feel the need to back aalllll the way in to the spot, putting their trunk well over the sidewalk. It’s annoying because the road has plenty of space and we have speed bumps through out the neighborhood so the fear of their car being hit is so minimal.
I have the opposite. My parking lot is so small that if one set of your wheels aren’t on the sidewalk, your car is sticking halfway out to the other side.
I can’t fucking wait to move into the city so I can walk and use public transport and not be so reliant on this fucking thing
I’ve never experienced this in my country (Sweden) but that has no effect on my agreement with this community.
Thanks, exactly this. Dont be afraid to do property damage as a pedestrian.
Great way to have your car used as a parkour obstacle!
Hear me out… A new sport! We can call it parkedcour!?
