This PSA brought to you by several would-be assassins who tried to wave me in front of speeding cars in the last month and who will have to try harder next time.

      Mirror the comic and make the guy want to turn right and you have the exact same problem

          … and this right here ladies and gentlemen, are the kinds of people who you share the road with. Someone that was competent enough at a time to pass a multiple-answer test, but somehow still knows nothing, and will argue about their answer and flawed reasoning.

          Just something to think about on the way to work. I was a first-responder to something like 7 collisions, from motorcycle riders getting cut off, to pregnant teenagers running red lights and almost losing the baby, to people getting rear-ended at highway speeds and trapped in their cars. Physics doesn’t give two shits about technicalities and what-ifs. Stay safe, everyone.

            This specific situation

            The original comment of mine and every one since has been a joke.

            Take that stick out of your arse and stop letting it post walls of text.

              Ever see a standup comedian try to repeat a joke when people didn’t laugh at it in the first place, and figured they just didn’t get it the first time?

              If a whole lot of people are collectively deciding it’s not funny, stop trying to make it work.

          Technically correct, the best kind of correct

      The issue is stupid intersections like this, roundabouts or bridges and slip lanes are the way to do this.
