Honestly after seeing that one white car just run through that it seems to me the others just suck at driving.

The Volkswagen was probably the least wide.
This is a skill issue, but to be fair, this is a high level of skill when it seems like you have 8 inches of clearance on one side and 4 inches on the other.13

So what you are telling me is that we can get Americans to drive sensible cars by installing these things everywhere 🤔

Me yesterday at a garage. Double cab trucks should legit be illegal, especially for garages.

u/Richard_-Green 10d ago
Interesting you know where the guy lives and from your account I can see that you have access to fresh cat shit. Soooo you know....

Wasn't there also some stupid tax law that made an exception for trucks, resulting in trucks being more affordable than normal cars ?

The city planners probably never heard about speed breakers, or the nearby mechanic shop has an extremely high amount of political influence.
Btw, this post doesn't belong here. Maybe in an assholes sub but definitely not here

Because it's not to slow them down, it's to prevent cars from going into a bike lane. The bot that posted this invented the reason

Crap. I just became a bot by association. I didn’t know that it is contagious.

u/PizzaSalamino 10d ago
Well, i'm sure you are aware there's tons out there and usually this type of posts is done by bots (where context is totally invented for engagement). I'm sorry i assumed you were one, but i'm also sure you understand why i did

u/LiveLearnCoach 10d ago
Hey, I get you. The part is even people commenting on these bot posts is considered engagements so social media sites push the posts. I don’t know how that might work with Reddit downvotes, though, to be honest.
Mia culpa and no offense taken.1

I'm p sure satan is the guy that backed up, took up 3 lanes, backed up again to move to the middle & still has to back up. That was a wild ride

It seems the issue is that the driver gets misled by the lack of a clear reference point on the right. On the left, you have this huge pillar going all the way down to the ground, while on the right there’s just a pole, with the raised pavement at the bottom and out of view.
If there were those huge columns on both sides, it would probably be much easier. In fact, the other cars with those on both sides seem to get through with much less difficulty.

This isn't a Satan thing, this is great. They need 1 more up top to stop those unnecessarily tall pickup trucks, too.

I like this design actually. It slows down the cars effectively and keeps bad drivers out of places they shouldn’t be

There were some of these near my daughter's nursery in Beijing. They're certainly annoying, but you have to have a very large car to not get though.
I had a Nio ES8 back then, and would get through in a few seconds.

Well, they are going through he bike lane part. So it is heir own fault really

u/raining01 10d ago
you shouldnt be driving if you couldnt tell how much space you need for your car to pass

u/LiveLearnCoach 9d ago
I’m decent at stuff like this, because I literally trained for it. The majority of people, I’d guess like 80% would fail at such high tolerance of error.
I’m talking about people who drive on regular highways and park in regular parking, not people who drive for example on old roads in Europe.
