Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

This was me many years ago. Me, a friend and a friend-of-a-friend in the car, at like midnight, nobody around; there's this tiny roundabout that goes to a couple different entrance/exit roads for a community. We are on like lap 6 when a car turns on, stops, and sits. So we do a couple more laps and they light us up, lol. Pulled over, did the whole shebang, cop is very confused but it's not like I'm doing anything wrong so can't nab me for anything. Better than doing drugs, ya know?

I did this again, solo, at a larger actual-road intersection roundabout, again late and nobody around. I did it way faster because of course and after about a dozen laps, my oil level light came on. I guess the g forces pulled the oil to one side of the engine, presumably not to where the oil level check was at. After leaving the roundabout for a few seconds, the light went away.

Good times.

Just be aware that you'll be wearing out your outer front tire much faster than the others by doing that. That's the tire doing most of the work constantly turning your two ton vehicle.

That’s ok I drive in reverse halfway through to even it out.

Need to turn around or it's the same tires getting worn in reverse.

It'll just even out all the tight right turns we make.

Do you only do tight turns in one direction?

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Right turns are much tighter than left turns. Smaller radius.

Some cities around me have signs posted that the limit is 3. Land of the free amiright

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

at least in Poland there is no limit, you can spin for as long as your heart desires and legally they could only stop you if you were a danger to others whilst doing so

Origin of NASCAR.

You can't do that its against the law. I feel like its probably enforced way more than other dumb laws became people taking driving quite seriously.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

which country? i know in Poland it's legal, i checked UK and US and google seems to say it's legal there too

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Omg I spent ages looking through law trying to find where it said it was illegal. My dad has lied to me. I used to always ask to go around and around and he'd say "I cant do that because its illegal"

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

lol! don't worry, for ages i believed keeping the back light on while driving was illegal because my dad told me that when i was a kid
