They don't even do that here. They merge into oncoming traffic doing 50km/h and cut in front of semi trucks doing 120km/h. It's dangerous as fuck. 7 out of 10 times it's a 20-something year old Asian chick in a AMG or M with 500hp.

I made the mistake once of turning in front of a car like this. The car came driving slow down the road with his right turn signal on so I pulled in front of him thinking he was actually going to turn. The fucking faggot came to a screeching halt and almost hit me, spazzing on his horn for 30 seconds straight. I realize it was my fault since I should've known or at least waited until he turned and the cars behind him were gone but it was a rookie mistake. I haven't made that mistake since then. You gotta learn sometime.

if it (>>16638024) was an auto it would've just picked the higher gear and you'd have no power at all

>>16637751
Pay attention to the other traffic lights if you're the first car, get it in gear and start creeping forward slowly once their lights go orange.
That way if you stall it you've still got a couple seconds to recover

>>16638060
retards behind will assume your going and if you stall they will re end you

Ok so what if I'm parallel parking in a tight spot on a hill?
Sure backing up I just keep the clutch in and use the brake, but what if I want to inch forward?
I could risk either rolling into the car behind me or blasting face first into the car in front of me
>sweaty.jpg

>>16638132
keep it in first and just let the clutch up some and inch forwards

>>16638129

>Backed up into spot by pressing the clutch in and modulating speed with brake
>Put car in first, brake in and let out the brake and clutch a bit to inch forward and adjust front
Is that right?

>>16638166
I'd start with the car in first. the other depends your cars torque and the severity of the hill. You might be able to just let the brake off completely and slip the clutch to move forward. The pieces are all there, just don't hit someone's car. Or find a better parking space

I have to do this every morning. I hardly ever use the handbrake for hills anymore in this particular spot, without fail, some fat BMW or Mercedes always manages to pull up within a fucking nanometer of my bumper and always starts slamming on the horn likena retard not letting me focus. One of these days I'll just let my dented used civic roll into one of these financed German cars to teach these assholes a lesson and maintaining a leading distance.

1. okay, the people who leave like two car lengths at a fucking light (esp in turn lanes) and end up blocking traffic behind them, or traffic backs up into the previsou intersection cuase they wouldnt move forward.
-not a problem in fly over states and suburbia, but in the city this fucking pisses me off

2. when the car in front of you wants to make a right. can fit and make a right, but wont attempt to try and make the right so they just block you from making a right.

likewise when that car in the very front could.
A. pull forward a bit so yall can fit and make a right turn on red
B. could have initially been a little more to the left so others behind him could make a right on red

like i said, these are city problems and generally not an issue in the county or suburbia

abcd

another thing that pisses me off is fuckers clutch braking in stop and go freeway traffic, ive almost rear ended a few fucks cuase i didnt realize they were slowing down right as everything had started to speed up

also im trying to conserve fossil fuels when i drive so i accelerate slowly yet some cities have thier lights timed so you can only catch the series of green lights if you smash on the gas pedal and accelerate like an aasshole.

even worse is those cities where the lights are triggered to turn red as you approach them, even if there are no other cars at the intersection, HUGE WASTE OF FUEL

even worse than that is when that light also turns on the 30 second crosswalk timer FUCK FUCK FUCK

even worse is when it is TINY city blocks like 250feet between each light

My hometown has all of those, except the lights don't always turn red as you approach. There are a few bad intersections, but one of the worst involves five different lights over about a quarter of a mile. First light going east has neighborhoods on both sides plus a theater, second light has railroad tracks and a special bus route that cut across it, third light turns into an incredibly busy shopping area and row of businesses/strip malls on one side and three car dealerships on the other, fourth light is the actual major intersection (no right turn lane of course), and the fifth light is across the major intersection that has hotels and big box stores on one side and banks and restaurants on the other.
Also all the lights are poorly timed, the train is ALWAYS there, and it's like rush hour from 7am to 9pm every day.
