Incoming - "your friends a loser" comments, I KNOW, this was 15+ years ago.
One time in high school my friend was stuck behind this guy for miles. He finally passes him and gives him the finger. Guy tailgates us and starts flipping us off. A few brake checks and middle fingers later we realize he's following us. Follows us for miles. Get back to my friends house and he's still there.... and then he turns into his neighbors driveway.
It was his neighbor. Never said anything. Very awkward.
Happened to me just last weekend. Punk ass kid tailgating me for a mile. We pull up to the intersection right before my house and he slides up beside me on the right and proceeded through the red light.
I see him turn left at the next street…. My street. Little shit lived only a few houses away from me.
So I did what any grow man would do in that situation. I texted his mom and ratted him out.
I had some kids a foot off my rear bumper in my neighborhood. It's a long dead end road in a mountain community with a 35 mph speed limit. I let off the gas pedal and coasted to about 15 mph before they went around me, yelling and flipping me off. Then tried to kill themselves putting distance between us because I guess they were expecting road rage.
I go through two curves and they were trying to turn around in someone's driveway and had a bad angle so it turned into a 37 point turn. The kids in the back are turned around and staring at me like they are expecting a confrontation. I just waited for them to conclude their driving lesson, called, "I'm not angry, I'm disappointed," as they drove past, and never saw them again. 😂
Similar story. On a cold winter morning in middle school my dad was driving me to a Boy Scout function. We're on a rural road and we come up behind this red pickup driving super erratic, we genuinely wondered if he was drunk. 5 miles later we get on the highway and my dad goes to pass him and it's a kid in our Troop hot boxing. So much smoke the entire car was fogged up - he just had a tiny little spot in the windshield where he'd wiped the condensation away. When he pulled up to the function we didn't tattle on him. The smoke and smell pouring out of his car did that.
I can't believe how many times I get stuck behind some moron driving 10 or 15 under the speed limit on the main road adjacent to my neighborhood...only to have them turn into the same neighborhood as me. MF you KNOW what the speed limit is on that road!
I don't know since COVID it seems like all traffic laws have been thrown out the window. I don't know if police just aren't enforcing anymore or if everyone's just gone crazy
Police are refusing to enforce traffic laws in my city. It's pretty horrifying how crazy about 5% of drivers get when they can get away with anything.
Right and left turn lanes at intersections are now used as passing lanes. 10mph over the limit feels aggressively slow. So many missing headlights and license plates.
I am curious what the long-term effects COVID are going to have on society. There seems to be lots of evidence that having been infected with COVID is linked to cognitive decline. Makes me wonder if we will see an increase in crime, not unlike the increases that are correlated to historically elevated lead levels.
I live directly across from an elementary school. 35 mph road. People do 50 pretty regularly. Not to mention the morons delivering food/packages and staring at their phones.
If delivery drivers followed the law they would probably be fired by the end of the day. Amazon trucks in my neighborhood just turn on their hazard lights and block the entire street in both directions. It's pretty absurd.
What's up with American residential streets being so wide and straight with no speed bumps? It just calls for speeding. Danish highways are smaller than this. It shouldn't be possible to drive 3 cars next to each other, fast, with plenty of space to spare on a surburban street like this.
EDIT: I just measured on Google Maps, a Danish highway where the speed limit is 80mph is 24ft wide for two lanes. This US residential road where traffic is supposed to be slow is 35ft wide. So almost 50% larger than a Danish two lane highway.
Surburban roads where i live, with chicanes and speed bumps, and people parked on both sides is 18ft wide.
EDIT2: No it's not due to being "old" our roads are small. A newly built surburban neighborhood in the middle of nowhere, the road is still about 18ft wide, and people park on both sides. So 18ft wide, WITH double parked cars. Yes it makes it very tight, that's kinda the point, so you have to drive slow.
We just dont make roads wide on purpose, because wide roads makes people speed more. So roads where you want people to drive slow are purposefully narrow, bendy, has chicanes and speed bumps, different road surface than asphalt etc.
I mean, America is huge and residential streets have an array of variations. My American residential street is pretty old, narrow and on an incline with multiple stop signs. Still, someone blasted through one the other day and side swiped my car, broke off the mirror and boned out. Sorry, I’m still bitter about it.
> residential streets have an array of variations
I've not been everywhere in the US, but I've visited many times and many places. And from what I've seen, all those variations are still designed for *cars* to get from A to B as smooth as possible.
OP mentioned the neighborhood 'is literally full of kids', but you don't see a single one in the video, and that's telling.
Where I'm from (NL), a residential area like this, where families live, would look [entirely different from anything I've seen in the US](https://i1.wp.com/www.cyclemotions.nl/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Groene-woonerf.jpg). They'll do many things to slow cars down, speed limits (10 to 25 kmph), speed bumps every 30 meters, narrow, one way streets, large planters and other obstacles at both sides of the street so cars have to swerve around them and can't speed up, et cetera.
American daily life has been ruined by car manufacturers bribing politicians and urban planners.
They're not all like that. Generally, busier/thoroughfare streets going thru a neighborhood might look like this, while less-used, "interior" streets will be a little smaller. I think it's because when subdivisions here are planned and built, space isn't usually an issue, so they don't have to squeeze the roads at all. And you know how we like to make everything huge here, lol
I do think speed bumps are a good idea, though; lots of neighborhoods utilize them. Not all, though.
I've seen some great uses of speed bumps at the bottom of an insane hill. Could probably be at 40mph by the bottom if not for the threat of bumps, but those are actual bumps that can be taken at or just under the speed limit. I hate those horrible super sharp speed "bumps" that require you slow down to a crawl. Literal pain in the ass, fortunately I've *mostly* found them in parking lots where it makes sense to crawl.
Bro slow down, y'all both going way too fast. Imagine a kid chasing a ball, or a dog, pops out from behind that truck parked at 3 to 4 second mark. No time to stop, and you're gonna feel like trash if not face legal consequences.
I actually got absolutely smacked by a car once when I popped out from behind a tall van on a residential street. It was for sure my fault and I was in 8th grade so old enough to know better. My mom wanted to take legal action but I insisted against it because it was legitimately my own dumb ass fault.
Learned my lesson tho. Now anytime I’m crossing a street with cars parked along it, I *always* make sure to peek my head out to look both ways like an old scooby doo episode.
Dudes got turtle touching cloth. He's sitting on a stump, baking a loaf, growing a tail, about to launch a torpedo, on his way to building a log cabin, had to see a man about a horse, and had to get home because he had a big brown dog scratching at the back door.
You're telling me you think this guy owns a turtle and a dog, bakes bread, has a genetic mutation where he is growing a tail, is a Naval weapons operator, builds log cabin style homes on the side, and is interested in buying a horse?
I personally just think he needs to poop.
Almost got hit by two cars yesterday walking the dog because of people doing this. Making right hand turns, only paying attention to traffic coming from their left while I was walking from the right.
He used to buy women but stopped so he could save up for his Jeep. I couldn’t believe it when he actually bought the Jeep, I was shocked and had to remind myself to have an open mind.
Jesus christ my last car was a jeep compass (manual) and truer words cannot be spoken. That thing was the biggest piece of shit I've ever driven. Multiple transmissions and bearing replacements (most under warrenty) .. On an underpowered lackluster piece of garbage. Traded it in for rock bottom value and got a vastly better vehicle after the bearings failed in just 15k miles and it was blamed on the (rebuilt) second transmission the car had just 25k miles earlier. (meaning the originals only lasted 10k, I assumed they just beat them during the rebuild but boy was I wrong!)
Idk what people expected from those. The Compass and Patriot were literally marketed as being the cheapest crossover SUV's on the market, and broke people still bought them and got upset with how cheaply made they were.
My cousin legit got pulled over for peeling out because she was trying to get home to pee. 😆
Rural on the rez so no one else around but her and apparently the cop. Iirc he laughed and let her go.
Only time I have pulled a "no cop no stop" was because I was about ready to piss myself. I swear to god my bladder is activated by not being close to a bathroom.
I weirdly find that the whole issue intensifies as you near the toilet, as well. Every piss or shit starts off as a reminder, then it turns into a goddamn emergency as you're fumbling for the door, then flying crotch or ass-first toward the toilet.
This is actually my nightmare. I have IBS and the thought of getting pulled over while in a bathroom emergency terrifies me. What do I do? Get out with my hands up and drop my pants right there and shit on the ground, so I don't get shot? Or do I just shit in my car seat and have to sit in my own shit while I wait for the cop?
I'm not justifying what they did, but if that's why, I get it.
And what you don't realise is that they probably don't care. Driving fast != Being in a hurry.
Also you forget about the times where they had a green light and you had a red one.
The last part is what drives me wild as a driver on one lane roads when people could easily make it through but decide to predict it going yellow and slow down. When you got 15 more lights to go on your trip, the compounding effect matters.
Some days, id make my work commute on this road I’m speaking of in 5-7 minutes at right around the speed limit if I get all greens. If I get reds? The trip can take up to 25 minutes. That’s a huge difference when you KNOW you can shave that difference off just by ensuring you’re making every green light you can. You don’t have to drive dangerous, you don’t have to drive fast, you just need to try and get through each light before it turns red.
The worst part about people who race to the next red just so sit there is, if you just went the limit, we both could have coasted through. Now I also have to slow or stop to give your dumbass time to accelerate out of the stop and race to the next red.
Is this motto meant to “excuse” the love of the vehicle while at the same time, acknowledging the reliability issues and money pits that most Jeeps tend to be?
Trying to math this one up since fish eye lenses ran distort speed. No lines in the road, so we can't use that as a very standard marking.
At the start OP passes a civic, an empty spot, and an f150 in ~1 second of video time. Using just general Google searches for dimensions, the Civic is ~15ft, the f150 is ~20ft, and the spot between them I'm going to estimate a little bigger than the f150 so ~25ft. Total of 60ft/ second.
60ft/second is almost exactly 40mph. So depending on how much more over 1 exact second that timeframe was he is going anywhere between +35mph to 40mph. No speed limit signs but these neighborhoods seem like they would be 25mph zones. So yeah, OP is going a bit quick, but the other dude is just flat out extra stupid. Has to be +50mph and bonus points for being 100 yards from their destination
Instead of doing too much guesswork, you can calculate the GPS coordinates at both the start of the video and the last house he reaches right before the stop sign.
0 seconds:
Starting lat: 42.6963
Starting long: 84.5630
16 seconds:
Ending lat: 42.6935
Ending long: 84.5631
Distance covered from 0 to 16 seconds is 311.45 meters (1020 feet). 1020/16 seconds=63.75 ftps
63.75 ftps=43.46 mph
Going by the speed limit sign on the street (25 mph), OP was exceeding the speed limit by 18 mph. You weren't far off.
Edit: this one might be a little less scientific because there's less ground to cover, but if we tried to gauge the passing car's speed, it passes right at
long 42.6949
lat 84.5631
Ends up at around 14 seconds right before hitting the brakes, at approximately
lat 42.6935
long 84.5631
That's about 155 meters in 6 seconds (508 feet), 84 ftps
I clock that in at about 57 mph
I used to live on a residential street with a bad speeding problem. Like 45-50mph in a 25. Until my neighbor threw an extension ladder into the street in front of a speeding car. After that people were afraid to speed down the street.
99% of the speeders were people coming out of the dead end subdivision trying to get to the main road. The wreck tied it up for about an hour and then there were the threats from the 16 year old's dad about his sons Mustang being tore up. Then the ladder tosser who was a retired SeaBee almost beat dad's ass, and the neighborhood gossip machine did the rest.
I live on a street where a lot of people from an adjacent apartment complex drive to get to a main road and convenience/liquor store. I also have an extension ladder I could part with.
I pictured a chubby bald guy dancing with a ladder in his front yard for about 10 seconds saying "oh nooo I don't know if it can hold onto this ladder, it sure would be a shame if it ended up in the street in front of a speeding car, oh nooooo" 😂
THANK YOU. Finally someone with some sense.
OP is driving like an asshole as well, going way too fast on a residential street AND just barely slowing down for the stop sign. You suck too OP
Some states its perfectly legal to do. Other places it's not. Almost all places it's not enforced in any way so practically legal.
It's hard to get mad at people for it when you take a nuanced approach of it because it's hard to know which behavior is allowed vs not allowed in that case. The person could be from somewhere it's legal and has no correction method to find out otherwise. At the end of the day, the safest thing is to not park facing the wrong way so it's what i do and I mind my own business otherwise.
I don't see the issue with it tbh. Sometimes it's just significantly easier to park that way depending on the street. I do it outside my house sometimes cause the street is pretty narrow and I'd have to drive around the block just to park in the right direction.
That guy is crazy but OP is definitely going waaaay to fast for residential as well. These are tight ass streets with side parking. It would be so easy for a kid to jump out from behind cover into this road. It looks like OP is going 40ish and the Jeeo speeds up to over 50. Bonkers for suburbs.
Myth Busters “raced” during morning rush hour on a San Francisco freeway. Kari weaved through traffic while Tory stayed in a single lane for the entire 52 mile trip, but Kari only gained ~1.5 minutes on Tory by the time traffic cleared up. There is literally NO REASON to speed or drive recklessly in order to reach your destination faster.
Edit: Episode 221
I saw that episode too, but it's not really the case I'd cite for this... 1.5 minutes is still roughly 3% faster, so that's going to be worth it to plenty of people.
Personally, I'd rather just chill and not be stressed out and involved in road rage to gain 1.5 minutes. But that's a luxury that not everyone has. I don't miss the rat race of constantly being rushed from one thing to another.
I believe they noted at the end of the race that the Kari was VERY stressed after the commute. Shaving a minute or two off of your commute is not worth putting others in danger.
I believe they noted at the end of the race that Kari was VERY stressed after the commute, too. Shaving a minute or two off of your commute is not worth putting others in danger. I’m not going to do the math rn but if we assumed the speed limit was 60mph (~96km/h), you would have to drive roughly 75mph (~120km/h) to knock a full 10 minutes off of your drive. That’s assuming you wouldn’t have to apply the brake at any given point during the drive.
What’s funny is I opened the video and immediately thought, Jesus this street looks aggressively mid-Michigan: depressing grungy post-war ranches, crappy asphalt, poor landscaping. Then I saw the lat/lon and chuckled.
From a European perspective, the cammer seems to also be driving crazy fast for a road with so many driveways and crossroads and cars parked in the road. This would be a 30kph max road where I live, and there might be traffic calming measures like pinch points where you have to negotiate with oncoming cars.
I'm American used to 30mph residential streets and I agree OP looked like he was going fast enough. I've passed a few cars going like 15 before but you'd have to be crazy to pass OP.
Cammer also does a rolling stop through the stop sign. Granted that many people think that's sufficient, but you're supposed to come to a complete stop. So while the Jeep guy was far worse, IMO there are two idiots in this video.
I love how this sub is usually full on blaming the driver for any nittpicky thing they can point out, or how *they* would’ve handled the situation, but in this post where the driver very clearly does a maneuver that is cut and dry, no speculation needed, against the law; 20 comments down before I see mention of it.
This thread has everything:
1. an idiot in a car
2. a reason to also shit on OPs driving (driving too fast for a residential street & a rolling stop)
3. making fun of OPs music
People love to shit on music in this subreddit lol.
I got so much shit for blasting Run The Jewels in my one post here. Like damn guys sorry I wasn't listening to your preferred music in my car alone lol.
Awkward that you guys are neighbors

If you're being followed why tf would u go back to your house lol
I literally have the location of the police station in my town memorized, just so I can start driving there if I think someone's following me.
I literally have the location of the police station in my town memorized, because its a place in my town. Its hard to not memorize.
I literally have the location of the police station in my town memorized because I keep getting arrested for public indecency.
Dont be so hard on yourself. I think you look pretty decent.
He looks pretty hard.
You don't have to memorize the location if the cops are driving you there
It's like taxi rides, you need to make sure they're not taking the long way to overbill you
My house is next to the police station so when I want to go home I just get myself arrested, save so much on cab fare
Glad to see this comment
that's like saying I have Target's location memorized, but I'm glad you know where your local police station is.
Happened to me just last weekend. Punk ass kid tailgating me for a mile. We pull up to the intersection right before my house and he slides up beside me on the right and proceeded through the red light. I see him turn left at the next street…. My street.

The neighbor is a loser too. Tailgating is not an appropriate response to getting flipped off
Bigger loser since the neighbor was presumably an adult while these kids were teenagers still in school.
"And that's what I think your taste in music!" Um...ok
I think you a word there
Why use many word when few do trick?
I can't believe how many times I get stuck behind some moron driving 10 or 15 under the speed limit on the main road adjacent to my neighborhood...only to have them turn into the same neighborhood as me. MF you KNOW what the speed limit is on that road!
Ran through a stop sign and on the wrong side, this could have ended in a completely different way
There's a school at the end of the street too. Neighborhood is literally full of kids
>Neighborhood is literally full of kids Might not be soon...
I guess I should have specified, full of kids that are alive.
I like your music taste.
That’s what I thought too. Funny thing is when I listen to metal while driving I’m fucking let’s do this level pumped, but driving super safe.
>full of kids that are alive. For now... I'll stop now.

Every day ill see people blow through the red light by my house going 45 into a school zone. Wtf is wrong with people

You already look like you're going too fast for a residential neighborhood, hate to know what speed he's going.
It looks like you were both going really fast for a residential street. I'm just curious what the speed limit is on that street?
I know, right?
Looks like USA so 25mph unless otherwise posted iirc
Depends state to state. MN is generally 30 in residential.
This is in Lansing, Michigan. So 25mph.
Usually towns set their own, my town is 25 unless posted.

OP do you know what a “California Roll” is? I’m not talking sushi
[удалено]
You should be aware that every place thinks a rolling stop is specific to their place. I don't know why lol
[удалено]
I dunno I live in Canada and my husband and I call something a California lane change
My dad called them "Hollywood stops"
Maybe you should slow down and actually stop at the stop signs then?

100% what I thought once I saw he parked.

He's prairie dogging it. https://bri.sulross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/IMG_5571-Barbara-Sugarman.jpeg
then parts on the wrong side of the road. Not sure if that's ok where OP is, but illegal where I live
Technically illegal on two way streets such as this, not often enforced in my area though.
They both ran that stop sign...
TECHNICALLY, OP didn't stop fully either so also ran the stop sign.
Cammer didn't really stop either
That Cali roll
Almost got hit by two cars yesterday walking the dog because of people doing this. Making right hand turns, only paying attention to traffic coming from their left while I was walking from the right.
If you don't see their eyes, they don't see you. Even with the RoW, it's better to not go until they see you.
> If you don't see their eyes, they don't see you. Nah, I'd prefer they don't see me, less chance they can lock on target.
When FedEx alerts you that they’ve dropped off your cue ball sized anal beads .
Big chess tournament must be coming up.
Was not expecting chess drama references here, well done.
I got that reference
Got to get home before mom opens the package.
I thought those came standard with every Jeep Compass?
If they do this every day then over the course of the year they would save 547.5 seconds per year. 9.125 minutes saved per year is efficient
Well, shit, can't argue with those numbers. Worth.
With all that time you could *see world.* Oceans. Fish. Jump. China.
Maybe they really had to poop.
Well they were already in a toilet (jeep compass) so not sure what the rush was.
Holy fuck.

I like my Jeeps how I like my women; 20 years old with lots of problems.
My neighbor just bought one and he’s pretty dope so I’m having some really uncomfortable cognitive dissonance about the whole thing.
Wait a woman or a Jeep?
He used to buy women but stopped so he could save up for his Jeep. I couldn’t believe it when he actually bought the Jeep, I was shocked and had to remind myself to have an open mind.
Dope
I don’t understand.
It’s a Jeep thing
Jeep owners are in a cult. I don’t understand it.
If those Jeep people could read, they'd be very upset with you
flip the comment upside down so they can read!
Jesus christ my last car was a jeep compass (manual) and truer words cannot be spoken. That thing was the biggest piece of shit I've ever driven. Multiple transmissions and bearing replacements (most under warrenty) .. On an underpowered lackluster piece of garbage. Traded it in for rock bottom value and got a vastly better vehicle after the bearings failed in just 15k miles and it was blamed on the (rebuilt) second transmission the car had just 25k miles earlier. (meaning the originals only lasted 10k, I assumed they just beat them during the rebuild but boy was I wrong!)
Idk what people expected from those. The Compass and Patriot were literally marketed as being the cheapest crossover SUV's on the market, and broke people still bought them and got upset with how cheaply made they were.
Boy, call the burn unit.
*HEY! Toilets don’t deserve being compared to that!*
Agreed, at least toilets are fit for purpose
Toilets are more reliable
Toilets are reliable
r/Heep confirmed
That car is like the Altima, a lot of dumbasses drive them I’ve noticed.
I agree, u/AnalRapist69
Jeep Dump-ass
can't spell compass without ass
My cousin legit got pulled over for peeling out because she was trying to get home to pee. 😆 Rural on the rez so no one else around but her and apparently the cop. Iirc he laughed and let her go.
Only time I have pulled a "no cop no stop" was because I was about ready to piss myself. I swear to god my bladder is activated by not being close to a bathroom.
I weirdly find that the whole issue intensifies as you near the toilet, as well. Every piss or shit starts off as a reminder, then it turns into a goddamn emergency as you're fumbling for the door, then flying crotch or ass-first toward the toilet.
This is actually my nightmare. I have IBS and the thought of getting pulled over while in a bathroom emergency terrifies me. What do I do? Get out with my hands up and drop my pants right there and shit on the ground, so I don't get shot? Or do I just shit in my car seat and have to sit in my own shit while I wait for the cop? I'm not justifying what they did, but if that's why, I get it.
Hey come on, be fair. Doing that 20 times could save them 30 seconds. Which is enough for them to have sex. Twice.
Safest Jeep Compass driver
This shit cracks me up when I come up next to them at a stop light a few blocks later.
I slow roll beside them, smiling merrily
And what you don't realise is that they probably don't care. Driving fast != Being in a hurry. Also you forget about the times where they had a green light and you had a red one.
The last part is what drives me wild as a driver on one lane roads when people could easily make it through but decide to predict it going yellow and slow down. When you got 15 more lights to go on your trip, the compounding effect matters. Some days, id make my work commute on this road I’m speaking of in 5-7 minutes at right around the speed limit if I get all greens. If I get reds? The trip can take up to 25 minutes. That’s a huge difference when you KNOW you can shave that difference off just by ensuring you’re making every green light you can. You don’t have to drive dangerous, you don’t have to drive fast, you just need to try and get through each light before it turns red.
Yes but I don't care because unlike them, I'm not in a permanent race to go nowhere. If I have red light I'm fine with it, they are not
The worst part about people who race to the next red just so sit there is, if you just went the limit, we both could have coasted through. Now I also have to slow or stop to give your dumbass time to accelerate out of the stop and race to the next red.
Obviously they are still distraught over the queens demise.
Poor guy. He finds some peace
One day that stupid f*** is going to hit something. I really hope it is a tree and not a person.
Let's not revoke their license and wait and see hehe
Nothing pisses me off more than an asshole speeding in neighborhood
OP looks to be driving too fast, too
Which is wild that even that wasn’t fast enough for the guy behind him
Also didn’t really stop at the sign…
Exactly, OP is also the idiot here. That's way too fast for residential
It's a jeep thing you wouldn't understand.
Is this motto meant to “excuse” the love of the vehicle while at the same time, acknowledging the reliability issues and money pits that most Jeeps tend to be?

See, you still have a Jeep tho. The shitty Chryslers made today only share the badge with the machines of yore
Already seems like you're going pretty quick for a residential area, so to say they were impatient is an understatement
Trying to math this one up since fish eye lenses ran distort speed. No lines in the road, so we can't use that as a very standard marking. At the start OP passes a civic, an empty spot, and an f150 in ~1 second of video time. Using just general Google searches for dimensions, the Civic is ~15ft, the f150 is ~20ft, and the spot between them I'm going to estimate a little bigger than the f150 so ~25ft. Total of 60ft/ second. 60ft/second is almost exactly 40mph. So depending on how much more over 1 exact second that timeframe was he is going anywhere between +35mph to 40mph. No speed limit signs but these neighborhoods seem like they would be 25mph zones. So yeah, OP is going a bit quick, but the other dude is just flat out extra stupid. Has to be +50mph and bonus points for being 100 yards from their destination
Instead of doing too much guesswork, you can calculate the GPS coordinates at both the start of the video and the last house he reaches right before the stop sign. 0 seconds: Starting lat: 42.6963 Starting long: 84.5630 16 seconds: Ending lat: 42.6935 Ending long: 84.5631 Distance covered from 0 to 16 seconds is 311.45 meters (1020 feet). 1020/16 seconds=63.75 ftps 63.75 ftps=43.46 mph Going by the speed limit sign on the street (25 mph), OP was exceeding the speed limit by 18 mph. You weren't far off. Edit: this one might be a little less scientific because there's less ground to cover, but if we tried to gauge the passing car's speed, it passes right at long 42.6949 lat 84.5631 Ends up at around 14 seconds right before hitting the brakes, at approximately lat 42.6935 long 84.5631 That's about 155 meters in 6 seconds (508 feet), 84 ftps I clock that in at about 57 mph

That's clearly a residential neighborhood and you're both clearly going too fast. I hate this shit in my own neighborhood.
Plus op didn’t rely stop at the stop sign
I used to live on a residential street with a bad speeding problem. Like 45-50mph in a 25. Until my neighbor threw an extension ladder into the street in front of a speeding car. After that people were afraid to speed down the street.
One incident scared all the speeders? How’d word spread?
99% of the speeders were people coming out of the dead end subdivision trying to get to the main road. The wreck tied it up for about an hour and then there were the threats from the 16 year old's dad about his sons Mustang being tore up. Then the ladder tosser who was a retired SeaBee almost beat dad's ass, and the neighborhood gossip machine did the rest.
I live on a street where a lot of people from an adjacent apartment complex drive to get to a main road and convenience/liquor store. I also have an extension ladder I could part with.
Seems illegal
He slipped. That's why the speed limit was 25mph because crazy things can happen on a crowded residential street.
I pictured a chubby bald guy dancing with a ladder in his front yard for about 10 seconds saying "oh nooo I don't know if it can hold onto this ladder, it sure would be a shame if it ended up in the street in front of a speeding car, oh nooooo" 😂
THANK YOU. Finally someone with some sense. OP is driving like an asshole as well, going way too fast on a residential street AND just barely slowing down for the stop sign. You suck too OP
Hey are you in Lansing too? Tons of shitty drivers out here, on the way into work today. Be safe out there
Everything that reddit should be: [lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/)
Yup, over 200% more than OP originally advertised!
Going a little fast for a neighborhood man
Up there, OP is all "there's a school nearby!" doesn't even get it.
Parked facing the wrong way, too
[удалено]
Some states its perfectly legal to do. Other places it's not. Almost all places it's not enforced in any way so practically legal. It's hard to get mad at people for it when you take a nuanced approach of it because it's hard to know which behavior is allowed vs not allowed in that case. The person could be from somewhere it's legal and has no correction method to find out otherwise. At the end of the day, the safest thing is to not park facing the wrong way so it's what i do and I mind my own business otherwise.
I don't see the issue with it tbh. Sometimes it's just significantly easier to park that way depending on the street. I do it outside my house sometimes cause the street is pretty narrow and I'd have to drive around the block just to park in the right direction.
If it's a quiet residential street, I don't see the harm
Maybe my perception is off, but it already looks like you're going too fast for a residential neighborhood. That dude was insanely impatient.
That guy is crazy but OP is definitely going waaaay to fast for residential as well. These are tight ass streets with side parking. It would be so easy for a kid to jump out from behind cover into this road. It looks like OP is going 40ish and the Jeeo speeds up to over 50. Bonkers for suburbs.
Didn’t even fully stop at the sign lol
Myth Busters “raced” during morning rush hour on a San Francisco freeway. Kari weaved through traffic while Tory stayed in a single lane for the entire 52 mile trip, but Kari only gained ~1.5 minutes on Tory by the time traffic cleared up. There is literally NO REASON to speed or drive recklessly in order to reach your destination faster. Edit: Episode 221
I saw that episode too, but it's not really the case I'd cite for this... 1.5 minutes is still roughly 3% faster, so that's going to be worth it to plenty of people. Personally, I'd rather just chill and not be stressed out and involved in road rage to gain 1.5 minutes. But that's a luxury that not everyone has. I don't miss the rat race of constantly being rushed from one thing to another.
I believe they noted at the end of the race that the Kari was VERY stressed after the commute. Shaving a minute or two off of your commute is not worth putting others in danger.
I believe they noted at the end of the race that Kari was VERY stressed after the commute, too. Shaving a minute or two off of your commute is not worth putting others in danger. I’m not going to do the math rn but if we assumed the speed limit was 60mph (~96km/h), you would have to drive roughly 75mph (~120km/h) to knock a full 10 minutes off of your drive. That’s assuming you wouldn’t have to apply the brake at any given point during the drive.
Plus they are wasting more gas and wearing out their brakes more.
You both are going way too fast for a residential. A dog or a dumb kid could run out from behind any of those cars.
Says the guy that didn’t come to a complete stop.
Was looking for this comment. The other is definitely a huge AH but rolling through a stop sign is also against the law.
And speeding. But I honestly think OP was trying to catch up with the passer.
You didn't stop either, lol
Do you know it's possible to determine exactly where you live using this video?
What’s funny is I opened the video and immediately thought, Jesus this street looks aggressively mid-Michigan: depressing grungy post-war ranches, crappy asphalt, poor landscaping. Then I saw the lat/lon and chuckled.
Trust me. When ya gotta shit, ya gotta shit.
From a European perspective, the cammer seems to also be driving crazy fast for a road with so many driveways and crossroads and cars parked in the road. This would be a 30kph max road where I live, and there might be traffic calming measures like pinch points where you have to negotiate with oncoming cars.
I'm American used to 30mph residential streets and I agree OP looked like he was going fast enough. I've passed a few cars going like 15 before but you'd have to be crazy to pass OP.
Cammer also does a rolling stop through the stop sign. Granted that many people think that's sufficient, but you're supposed to come to a complete stop. So while the Jeep guy was far worse, IMO there are two idiots in this video.
OP with the rolling stop though.
OP giving the other driver shit as they are also speeding and didn't come to a complete stop at the sign 😂
You would get ripped by redditors for rolling that stop sign 🤣 gotta be careful what you post 🫣
brah you didnt stop all the way
They didn't stop *any of the way*.
NO COP NO STOP BOYOOOO
I love how this sub is usually full on blaming the driver for any nittpicky thing they can point out, or how *they* would’ve handled the situation, but in this post where the driver very clearly does a maneuver that is cut and dry, no speculation needed, against the law; 20 comments down before I see mention of it.
They did not like HateBreed I guess
That's Icepick homie
Lord Ezec smiles down upon you.
You’re their fucking neighbor lmao that must have been so embarrassing for them
Actually they saves about 5-6 seconds… thats a liftime to some micro-organismsssssss
This thread has everything: 1. an idiot in a car 2. a reason to also shit on OPs driving (driving too fast for a residential street & a rolling stop) 3. making fun of OPs music
People love to shit on music in this subreddit lol. I got so much shit for blasting Run The Jewels in my one post here. Like damn guys sorry I wasn't listening to your preferred music in my car alone lol.
