I saw the Tesla Robotaxi:
- Drive into oncoming traffic, getting honked at in the process.
- Signal a turn and then go straight at a stop sign with turn signal on.
- Park in a fire lane to drop off the passenger.
And that was in a single 22 minute ride. Not great performance at all.
I know many people who believe that “right on red” means they have the right of way to make the turn and don’t have to stop first or yield to traffic.
I almost failed my first drivers test because I stopped at a stop sign instead of just yielding on a right turn. Still to this day it seems… wrong.
Why would you have failed? You are supposed to come to a complete stop at a stop sign.
No kidding, they fail you if you DON’T come to a complete stop.
Where I live, a few stop signs have a square white sign below them that says “EXCEPT FOR RIGHT TURN”, i.e. you don’t have to actually stop if you’re turning right. It’s incredibly fucked up - it works fine if you’re a local and you’re familiar with these signs, but people new to the area don’t know anything about it and if they’re on the crossroad they actually expect the other driver to stop since all they see is the backside of the octagon. It’s pointless to have these signs anyway since people usually roll through stop signs as it is.
We should arm pedestrians so we can shoit the subhuman filth who take rights on red.
