I remember when I was first learning how to drive and was driving with an instructor...almost plowed into some people in a crosswalk while attempting to turn right on red (instructor saw it coming and used the instructor brake pedal before I even initiated the turn). Scared me shitless, and you best believe I learned my lesson.

But this is an easily predictable outcome. You've got a situation where the person turning right is going to be looking 180° in the opposite direction to the pedestrians/cyclists crossing to their right because the driver doesn't want someone to plow into them. Completely stupid thing to allow, especially in cities.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
