Title: Excellent driving, Part Deux
Post by: Unisaw on January 04, 2015, 10:42:12 PM
I think the 92-point turn lady moved to the UK:

The only thing that saved her from an endless loop was the VW Beetle.

Some people have problems with spatial awareness.  Others are space cadets.

stay safe.

Makes me think of a recent new bus-driver student who got into a traffic circle and couldn't get out.

My ex made a new mercedes option package one day. That'd be the nozzle and hose off the gas pump. Her car was in the shop so she borrowed her dad's 2013 Siverado. Hey, who put that concrete filled pole in the drive-thru! A similar fate awaited her boyfriend's truck, just weeks later. The other episodes all sound the same. Side-swiping the back of a log truck was hairy. Yet I'm the dangerous driver.  ;/

I used to occasionally have fun with the side-saddle tanks on my truck.  Filled from both sides. Pain in the tush if the gas station was crowded.

I seem to get stuck behind the ones who can barely squeeze a <8' wide vehicle into a 44' wide street because there's another <8' wide vehicle waiting to pull out and it somehow blocks too much of the road for them to fit.

File that under "People who should not be allowed outside without adult supervision"

Did you ever try to parallel park on the left side of a one-way street? 

We used to sit outside our building on our breaks and have high fun watching people do this.  Sure, it's the same technique.  Only reversed, right?  Nothing to it, right? 

I, being Mr. Loudmouth, laughed loudest and longest and made the most creatively derisive remarks.

Until one day, as Cosmic Justice would have it, I myself had to unload some stuff into the building. 

And, as Cosmic Justice would further have it, this was just as my compatriots were on their break and  could watch me, Mr. Loudmouth, park my car on that left side of the street.

Then they called me Mr. Zigzag.

I never lived that down.

But we stopped laughing at other people trying it.  All that would happen was someone was sure to say, "Remember when Terry did that?"

Cosmic Justice.

I used to do the dual fueling thing. But if you want to see apoplectic fuel one, lay the nozzle down then get in and turn the truck around. Idiots came running out like I was a drive-off.  =D

But let's see him pull out after loading his groceries in the trunk.

stay safe.

I learned quick enough to go tell the cashier what I was going to do.  Sometimes I could see them writing down the plate number as I manuevered anyhow.

My truck had been T-boned on the right side before I got it and that tank only held 15 gallons after the truck body was repaired.  I understood that saddle tanks were deemed to be somewhat hazardous, like the tank on the infamous Pinto, and it bothered me a little that the tank had been crunched once already.
