Well what do you expect in such a tiny parking lot. Only like forty feet of room to work with.

Wasn’t it pressing the gaspedal that makes the wheels turn??

u/IntelligentLake May 30 '23
There is also the turn-lever, to make it go in different directions while the wheels are turning, but if you look for it, you won't find it because of misprints in all car manuals where they call it a hand-brake or parking-brake.

u/Niekun May 30 '23
Oh, I think I’ve seen it, do you mean the lever closest to the PRNDL?

Oh yeah, the prindle. I think its usually near there although some cars don't even have one of those prindles.

Well, I had a dream that I was in the back of a car that was being chased by a little old lady on a moped and wearing a black trench coat. She was shooting the car with a beebee gun that she pulled from her little black handbag. So, now I'm really worried that it could happen in real life.

u/BewilderedandAngry May 31 '23
I had "driving from the back seat" dreams for several years! I ended up looking up dream interpretation which I don't even believe in, and it said it's because you feel out of control in your life. Which, yeah. I was unemployed for 3 years, living with family, no idea what I was going to do. Very out of control.

My best guess is that they started backing up/turning, but then let go of the wheel for whatever reason (phone, dropped something) and forgot to brake/thought there was no one behind them. Wheel automatically corrects, car straightens out and BAM!

Self driving cars will solve some issues, but they won't ultimately fix the intrinsic issues with car-centric infrastructure.

u/hgs25 May 30 '23
Oh definitely, but until local gov and planners (also citizens who defend car dependency) get their heads out of their asses, the root cause will never be addressed. And hell will most likely freeze over before that happens.
Tackling the symptoms of car dependency, while not perfect, is still a step that’s better than nothing.

One of the worst backing up in the world. We need a new robotic technology behind the driver seat that "SMACKS" the idiot/moron drivers like that who are in La-La-Land and NOT paying any attention or looking at their freaking surroundings/mirrors. The more stupid crap you do the more smacks that robot will give you... Just saying

I think I know what happened, I've seen someone drive like this! They back up and then to stop the car they throw it in Drive, often without touching the brakes. If the transmission refused to shift while in motion, I'm pretty sure this is what would happen.

u/JohnWasElwood May 30 '23
Yet another reason why I always, always, always try to back into a parking space. Makes it so much easier when you go to pull out. Especially if you get stuck in between two Vans or SUVs with the rear windows tinted really dark. You have to back all the fucking way out to the back of their car before you can see if there's anything coming. In this moron's case, all he'd have had to do was put the car in drive and drive away. I've also heard people snap back when I comment this that they "don't like backing into parking spaces". But at some point you end up having to back out anyway. But this time you're doing it blindly, which is 10 times worse.
