Whats the appeal of racing games

>Black person actually thinks he’s a specialist cause he can drive manual.
All things start with reading how to actually operate the thing regardless of what it is.

But they’re taught it by something or someone. Unless you just guess worked it yourself which is worse then learning it properly.

>reading
how did you manage to take that so literally are you fricking stupid? this is bait

“learning how to from a source”

i'm linking the video i watched because my memory was wrong. they put a kill switch on the fuel pump, which immediately made the thieves suspect the car was out of gas. it seemed like a clever theft deterrent.

?t=566

the switch itself is definitely noticeable but they were so concerned in trying to pull this off quickly they didn't even notice it kek
you could definitely hide the switch in the engine compartment instead

People tend to be right-foot dominant and you want better motor control over your acceleration/deceleration, plus you shouldn't (generally) be doing both at once so having both on one foot tends to be better. Of course, moronic people who add aftermarket floor mats, or senile people who lose track of their foot and panic (and there have been a few stock mats with those problems but it's not super common) will still have issues.

>no functional benefit of manuals in the modern era
Imagine optimizing the fun out of driving

Honestly being able to swap between manual and auto would be nice, but most vehicles don't have that.

this shit is dystopic. any eurogay defending multi-roundabouts has stockholm syndrome.

why would it matter if they're exiting? There's no law nor expectation for people to signal on entry or exit to a roundabout, anon.

how congested are your roundabouts, and are you using single lane roads or something?

You signal your intent when you're altering the flow of traffic (merging, exiting the highway, switching lanes, etc). For a roundabout, you aren't altering the flow unless you're switching lanes, and the time at which your signals would be active in most cases wouldn't give any realistic forewarning. Me exiting a roundabout or continuing wouldn't functionally change anything about how the person in front and behind me would interface with it.

Obvious exception is in the case of a place where it's psuedogridlocked/congested.

if my speed doesn't deviate and there's an ingress and egress lane, it really shouldn't, no. You can tell their intent by their speed and approach vector/tire angling.

it's possible, noone around here in either single or double lane roundabouts has ever used a signal, nor would I expect it, nor do I feel a need for it. But who knows, like you said, maybe the drivers around you are bad at using it or something.

>You can tell their intent by their speed and approach vector/tire angling.
No, you can't that's the point, there's a frickton of people that look like they're going to get out just to make a quick turn and continue inside.
Plus, here's it's usually advised that if you're going to continue inside on an small circle one you put the turn lights towards the inside.

yes you can, dumbass? look at the picture above.

>trusting other drivers to notice things
Hope you ticked the organ donor box

Fortunately for me you'd be hard-pressed to impact someone in a roundabout given the design, and if you happened to, you'd be extremely hard-pressed to do any lasting damage to the vehicle occupant.

Think in my area there has been like 1 pedestrian hit at a roundabout over 3~ years or so, and it was during the winter so it was more an icy slide issue. Like 6 people gunning it and launching off the center island into a Walgreens Stone sign, though, funnily enough.

d-d-d-d-d-d-d-dual* is what i meant

Not the anon, but here you have to yield to anyone currently in the roundabout regardless of whether they're turning off. My driving instructor still made a big deal about signalling out of roundabouts even though almost nobody does it, though.

that'd be pretty impressive considering I'd've already exited 1/6th of the circle before him, and by the fact that my car wasn't turned towards the interior he'd have to be moronic to think otherwise.

>trusting other drivers to notice things

I blame stubborn boomers for the lack of metric. I would switch just to make things easier for everyone. I got taught both measurement systems at the same time so I keep jumping between the terms interchangably and I feel fricking moronic whenever I have to measure something because of it.
>muh globalism
Sometimes I wish some shit really was just globally the same.

>. It'll probably take 100+ years
brits, aussies and canadians will never admit it, but they still use feet and miles despite having gone metric long ago.

Sharing a border with America and living with boomers is why I will have schizophrenia. I never even know what anyone over the age of 50 means when they say mpg because Canada used British gallons which are different from American gallons. The dumbest shit in the world is that grocery stores will advertise a price per/lb because it's a smaller number then the store packaging will be in kilograms so I can't even find it, fricking bullshit.

I've never used imperial in Australia and the only people I've heard say anything in it are boomers.

what the frick is this
roundabouts alone are kinda based but this shit
holy frick
just gimme a 4-way stop at that point

Yo dog, we heard u like driving in circles so we put a roundabout in your roundabout in your roundabout.

Not really. We just have more space in America so we do better things. Ever heard of a cloverleaf?

Are you admitting your city planning sucks? In my country, The United States of America (USA) I would be driving on a freeway around the city going 80+ mph in my manual and never slowing down until an exit 1 minute from my destination, then parking in a massive parking lot full of space. Sorry you have to deal with the cramped spaces you were given. Don't be mad, be better.

Can I figure it out? Yeah. Do I trust random strangers to figure it out and not frick up me or my car? Hell no.

lel, to be fair I'm sure early on when they were new, if people had no real knowledge of them and whatnot, they might be confused. Real problem is if one person does something incorrect others might see it and go "oh, is that what we need to be doing?" and follow suit.

So, I have to ask. There's one entrance road there, and three exits. All of the roads are one-way streets, and the divider between lanes on each road ends within a hundred feet. What's the advantage of putting a roundabout there and not just an intersection?

Lame. This is the reason why everything is becoming worse, fricking morons can't go ten minutes without finding new ways to kill themselves.

you fricking what
>cars driving on both sides of the meridian in the same direction
>no signal lights or markings
do britbongs just drive wherever and stop and have a cricket game when someone is coming at them head on?

well, wherever it is, watch the paths from 0:08 on
unless that driver is fricking up, that's two lanes of traffic going in the same direction and would absolutely be a one-way street in burgerland since holy shit what the frick are you doing if you have traffic driving at each other head-on without any lane markings or signs

>cars driving on both sides of the meridian in the same direction
Americans are moronic. The first car went left because they got confused and most drivers followed. You can actually see them coming from the right side before going left.
>no signal lights or markings
Yeah.... because it's a roundabout

They're driving on the right until they hit the driving puzzle

>Marginally safer
Depends on how stupidly they designed it
The town I grew up in used to have a fricking 3-lane rotary connecting to the ramps to the highway and that shit was a deathtrap, they replaced it with a straight road and traffic lights sometime after I moved out and it generally seems like less of a pain in the ass.

>What's the advantage of putting a roundabout there and not just an intersection
Roundabout accidents usually are less mortal than intersection accidents, apart from them being less frequent to begin with.
Most accidents there are usually people entering the roundabout at an alarming high speed without looking and driving right at a car that was already inside.

>Nobody's going to come speeding through a roundabout at 110.
This homie doesn't dorifto

this image irritates me greatly but the only defense I will make of it is that when you see multiple other drivers going a certain way, even if you think it's wrong it's not unreasonable to think "maybe they know something I don't know" if it's an unfamiliar area

This just screams poor city planning cope. Probably an old timey crossroad that needed to be updated and there was no way to trim down the number of entrances. Little town to big city things.

it's just a 5 roundabout minigame you idiots
you pass one, you go to the next

>ackshually a bus isn't a public transport where you sit down and reach your destination, because you can also stand up
shut the frick up nerd

it's how you sound like moron
turning a truth into the wrong answer because an alternative exists
only autists with an ago do that

who the frick said they had to keep to the outside???
they need to yield even if they go in the middle, making it a 5 point roundabout

My city is getting California's first TURBO roundabout. It's not even done yet and these morons use the regular roundabout as a stop sign. This turbo shit is going to be awful.

>Look kids! Big ben... Parliament...
Looking back my family was basically the griswold's, complete with Cousin Eddie.

>X is great if [other drivers] have the mental capacity
And here is the fatal flaw in your argument. Everyone on the road is a moron. No exceptions.

I think that indicates a pedestrian crossing

pls respond

well that's exactly what it is, except with the british cultural tradition of queuing in a line as well

spooky

is this AI generated? Why the flying frick would you put roundabouts in your stops in your roundabout? That's a fricking enormous hazard and has no reason to exist

From what I've heard, high beams tend to exceed the recognition distance of the cameras, but take it with a grain of salt

My city planning? I don't live in London or wherever that thing is, I'm just not certifiably moronic.
Can you actually not figure it out?

Not really, but that's got nothing to do with me. My ability to comprehend something more complicated than a 4 way stop has everything to do with me.
You can brag about what other people have done all you want but it doesn't make you look any better.
You haven't even denied it. Lying about your intelligence would be more impressive at this point

Tell that to the women who hit people while backing out of parking spots because they weren't visible on the screen

It's a woman in all the stories I've heard

is grading things on album openings a thing? because i've gotta give that to farewell to kings

people chose them in the past because early automatics were generally inferior in terms of transmission and gas efficiency, and you could manually do better/control RPMs. For things like racing and whatnot the highest end drivers would still benefit from manuals, but modern automatics are leagues better and perform better than 99.9% of drivers, so no, there's no real reason. It's not 20-30 years ago, anon.

>People choose manuals for a reason.
Because they're stupid.

There is nothing fun about modern driving, I wish I didn't have to do this shit. Younger people don't drive as much as previous generations since Lyft and Uber are just better in most instances so the average person on the road is some old frick in his sixties that can barely see anything and think they have the right of way in every scenario. Half of the time it feels like I'm fighting for my life whenever I go run errands. Anyone who thinks driving is fun probably lives in the middle of buttfrick nowhere where they don't have to deal with traffic.

I can blame a lot of zoomers for being wishy-washy people who refuse to put effort into shit and just live their lives in fear, relying on other people to shuttle them around since they're horrified of responsibility or challenge.
Lotta my younger coworkers don't drive, or their GFs don't, and it's embarassing.

Yea, definitely a bit of truth to that.

Driving isn't hard though, inconveniencing everyone around you because you refuse to face a fear is the issue here.

>There's a reason everyone drives a fricking gigantic car nowadays
Because that is nearly all they make and all they really want to sell to skirt environmental regulations that give lenience for fat pieces of shit on the assumption that weight will go towards utility and not marketing more expensive vehicles to dumb women.

Yes, unironically

Suffer like G did?

I'll live to see it happen to you too, mark my words anon.

I don't see a point in driving when I can just have someone else do it for me. I got my license because I thought I'd like driving, but I don't. It's a formerly mandatory process in errand running humans all just sort of tolerated because they had to back in the day, but nowadays there's so many alternatives that it isn't worth doing. b***hing about zoomers not wanting to drive is like b***hing about zoomers preferring to just use a dishwasher or washer/dryer when they could be doing it all by hand. It's dumb and you're old.

There is no difference to me. They are both a waste of my time. Seeing as how you can't understand my point, you're not too bright.

this, you can do most things online or get it delivered and if you have to be there physically, just pay to have someone drive you there.

>they think their choice needs to be justified
My justification is that I don't give a shit about driving and so I'll welcome anything that makes it easier. What more justification do I need?

Most people don't kill for fun.
Most people don't drive for fun either and I feel sorry for them

At no point did I have a single clue what the frick you were saying ESL-chama

Freeways and such are generally safer since everyone is going the same direction as you. The only scary thing on them are people who do nothing but inner city driving who think they can just swap lanes whenever.

Actually, it's because I'm white that I'm not scared to death of cops. I know what they're actually looking for, and it's not a white person on a bike. Stay brown.
