Will someone please tell me what the fuck is with the seemingly new and growing trend of not pulling up to the fucking line at an intersection? Do people not realize that those large cuts in the concrete are sensors that tell the light that people are waiting? When you leave 2 empty car lengths between you and the line, the lights don’t know anyone is in that lane, thus you and the rest of us have to wait longer! What are these people scared of? What advantage is there in waiting 40 feet back? It causes more traffic, takes more space, makes the lights longer – seriously, what the fuck?
But, God forbid these fucking assholes pull up behind me on a steep hill at a light. In that case they stop 2 inches from my fucking bumper. I guess driving an SUV makes these people forget that some cars are still manual transmission and will roll backwards on a hill before going forward!
This is supposed to be the other way – you give people room, but you pull up to the line, which doesn’t need any room. Can someone explain to me when this changed and why? And can someone help me start beating these people with spiked baseball bats?
You roll back before going forward??
Sounds to me like you don’t know how to drive stick, son… 😀
Try easing off the clutch.
Actually, the more you ease of the clutch, the more you roll… because your foot’s off the break at that point so you roll back as you put your foot on the gas and ease off the clutch.
Sounds to me like you don’t know how to speak english, son… 😀
Try spellcheck.
Sounds to me like you actually have insight to the same annoyance that I do, people who insist on driving but do a really shitty job at it!
Hold the hand brake while easing off the clutch and giving it gas, when you feel it pulling on the hand brake, let it go, and go forward.
