Local Drivers - what's going wrong?

[rajagainstthemachine]

@squirrel my inner body spell check says you should use brake instead of break.

@JR8 you should you see the comedy that unfolds in front of my house everyday. Basically the road is a dead end, many drivers come along looking for parking and then discover the dead end, now there are two options here.

1. option 1: drive ahead a bit more and one will discover a gate on the left along with a bit of space for a car to nose in , back out a bit, straighten up and then drive out of the dead end.

2. option 2: drive in reverse for about 75m

97% of people choose option 2, at which point another guy looking for parking comes along, sees the car coming at him in reverse and then honks.
so reversing car stops reversing and moves forward, car behind him follows ahead. Third car comes along, car 1 wants out, car 2 is now stuck, car 3 thinks there is parking
meanwhile I am sipping coffee and a biscuit in it and watching the fun.

Bus drivers are underpaid, live in poor conditions and generally don't like their Sg masters. How do they get even? They take it out on their customers. They try to make their passengers as uncomfortable as possible by driving like taxi uncles.

Well, it's one theory.

Am I the only person who thinks bus drivers brake a lot and drive in a jerky fashion? I find it unbelievable that a bus can't be driven without having to jerk and throw people off guard.

that's the taxi uncles. after 5mins I am ready to get out of their cabs and throw up.
in London that's usually bus no.31

Is making a 19-point turn too much to ask for?

Spell checkers don't correct grammar!

I can show you, when you set auto correct to aggressive, it does amazing word replacements ..

Competitive inter-vehicle ego + lousy eyesight.

Those, plus lack of basic spatial awareness, whether driving or walking or standing, due either to kiasu or basic inability. Or both.
