The only issue with pulling-through in a parking lot is one-way lanes with angled spots (the majority of parking lots in my area) because then you're pulling forward against the flow of traffic or have to make an extremely sharp turn upon exiting. It'd be fine with straight spots or two-way lanes, but people still do it in the former circumstance and end up driving the wrong way.
All is fair in love and war... Or something like that
So those 'we're full' people will be upset about this too, right? Right?! Oh wait, we know full well their motivations for their anti-immigrant stance don't extend beyond their stupid fucking racist dipshit peanut-sized brains.
Not accounting for externalities, but yes
I certainly don't advocate people driving under the influence of any mind altering substances, and I believe if someone is found impaired at the time of an accident, the law should account for that.
However, and this is anecdotal, I grew up in a house where I knew from a very young age that my parents were smokers. There were far fewer days that my parents were not high. They performed all necessary driving without issues. They maintained focus and followed all (other) driving law and never got into accidents. I don't partake at all now, but when I did, I drove regularly and never felt unsafe. There were instances where quick reaction time was necessary (swerving to miss an unexpected obstacle on a dark windy road in the rain, accidents involving other vehicles in front of me, etc.) and my conscious effort to focus on the task was way more important than whether or not I was high.
Now I ride a motorcycle and am much more aware of what is going on with drivers around me. The amount of people I see in their cars on their cell phones or busy talking to their friends or just generally not paying attention, I want to say that is the bigger issue. Alcohol disables your ability to choose that focus, and at least for me or the people I've been in a car with, cannabis does not. I've ridden in cars with friends that touch their phones while behind the wheel and it has always made me feel much less safe.
But this is just my experience, and I wanted to share. You aren't wrong and I know it makes more sense advocating driving without influence, but to say it is just as dangerous as alcohol seems a stretch in my eyes.
I've made monthly contributions to WVPB for almost ten years now!
Shame we've lost our way. Next time the old guys at work cheer on and celebrate the stripping of whatever labor rights or safety regulations, I'll remind them, again, of Blair Mountain. Wish it stuck in their craw.
Organize/join an org. Talk to your neighbors/family/friends/coworkers. It's slow going at first. You may not see results for years, but building a community that resists takes effort. I see people doubt the efficacy of protest/organizing all the time, or they are discouraged by lack of numbers in the streets because it doesn't happen overnight or because there isn't absolute 100% alignment with what they think should be done, but we need to remember that these things are built over time and more important than complete alignment on prescription is agreeing that the direction we're going is wrong. The best time was yesterday, the second best time is now. There are people across the US in all states organizing to resist. I'm in a very red state and each subsequent meeting we have nearly doubles in number of people.
Uhh, Pour Some Sugar On Me and Shook Me All Night Long were both just posted in c/80smusic like ten minutes ago. Also, the answer is from about ten years before my time.
Edit: Oh, they were posted by you
Double Decker system, lower deck for road vehicles, upper deck for trains. Still a ton of work to do, but I really enjoy the result so far. I only have the one screenshot now, and some progress pics while I worked on the blueprints (not the finalized design), but I'm on mobile, maybe I'll share some more later.
Edit: Adding linked screenshots! These are all on my test configuration while working in the blueprinter.
For years, I worked in a large building that required all employees and visitors to back in for a few safety reasons, with approximately 600 spaces and an almost full lot most weekdays. It was stated in our safety training that it was easier to see other people and vehicles when exiting facing forward and faster evacuation in times of extreme emergency. It had the benefit that it did seem to quicken flow of traffic when everyone left around the same time at the end of the day.
If a parking spot is straight, I tend to back in for those reasons, but if it is an angled spot, it typically denotes a singular directional flow, and it makes more sense to pull in and back out.
