Not mine. Can't wait for the pedants to dissect it.

I-95 in Massachusetts (photoshopped, obviously).

Such is actually two images placed/photoshopped on top of each other.  The first one is indeed that of I-95 southbound in Westwood, about 2 miles from the I-93 interchange in Canton (the BGS is the 2-mile advance sign).  What's below the overpass is actually a separate & unrelated image.

Here's the actual sign and surroundings.

Don't know about the lower image, which appears mirrored.

I KNEW the BGS looked familiar. Good ol' 128.

Lol. That actually reminds me...does anyone here actually parallel park by intentionally bumping the cars around them? My car is small enough that this isn't an issue for me, but I could see someone with a larger car w/o backup sensors or a camera utilising this method. Or anyone trying to park in NYC.

The first dumb SOB that bumps my car while parallel parking is gonna get a dumptruck load of whoop-ass dumped on them.

SOP in New York City is to tap the car in front of/behind you. It's the only way to fit so many cars in and the reason why so many cars have bumper pads. I do love how every ad for those things featuring real license plates uses NY plates.

Never knew that was a thing....the pads or the procedure. Are y'all taught that in drivers ed classes?

[cl94]

It's possible they teach it in the City. They definitely don't Upstate (but outside of the Hudson Valley, few places parallel parking is the main parking option). I only know how to do the tap thing because I was taught to parallel park by my grandfather, who spent much of his life in dense parts of Queens and Brooklyn.

I don't know if parallel parking is still part of the Kentucky driver's license road test or not, but it was when I took it. If I had tapped, bumped or otherwise struck a vehicle while parking, I would have automatically failed the test.

That's technically the case in New York, too. But so is pulling onto a street if anybody is visible, responding to waving, hitting a bump, etc.

Hitting a bump?

[cl94]

This has been a very common gripe lately.

You can say the same thing for New Jersey.

[cl94]

Yeah, it's often not worth detouring for gas in NJ anymore. Why get gas there if Ulster County is only a few cents more expensive?

By the mid-90s, they weren't requiring it as part of the road test in Florida.  Apparently all, or most, parallel parking spaces had been converted to diagonal parking.

Me, I wouldn't say I go out of my way to bump cars ahead of/behind me when parallel parking, but I don't sweat it when it happens, either.  The way I see it, they put bumpers on cars for a reason.

You could never drive in Seattle without hitting bumps.  At best you can miss the potholes big enough to cost you an axle.

Not exactly a meme, but i just saw this in Imgur and thought it appropriate here.  Unfortunately, it keeps applying to more and more people.
