      See, this one understands. Combo multipliers are important to winning new high scores!

      Ooh, an elementary school playground during recess! engages 4WD

        ALSHUALLY, 4WD drifts are less oversteered/less doublelaney than RWD (I actually don’t know if this is true, I’m just repeating what I understood of it from Initial D).

          …but you don’t drift with 4WD (in this scenario), you change to it because of the uneven terrain that comes with an outdoor mixed-environment like a playground, where one can traverse concrete, grass, dirt, mud, sand all in a few seconds. Locking differentials are a plus if the vehicle has them, especially in sand for this situation.

          E: also the skyline is technically awd as I don’t believe you can disengage the 4WD. 4WD implies the ability of 2WD and possibly a low/high range gearbox. It bugs me that the show uses the term 4WD for this.

    My truck is lifted so that I can safely cruise over all the babies in the road. Just gotta keep them between the tires.

    I’ve always been torn on this choice. The baby doesn’t have any history, and frankly, you can always make another. But on the other hand the old lady has already lived most all of her life (well all of her life depending on this decision). I mean there isn’t a good answer unless you try to go for a two’fer

      To be in this position the car has already ignored several warning signs and presumably maintained a speed that doesn’t allow it to break in time. So 1) Don’t let the car be in a position to have to make this choice in the first place. 2) Say fuck it, speed up and send that old lady flying. May as well give her the exit of her lifetime in the painless way possible…

    How about driving with at most that speed that would allow you to break to a full stop inside the range you can see. Or within half that range if the street is to narrow for another passing car.

      That’s my favorite thing about these images. The car is so far back even speeding it should be able to stop

    I still remember one of the questions on my written driving test from almost 30 years ago. It was something like:

    A group of pedestrians start crossing the road in front of you, just as the light turns green for you. What do you do?

    • Honk your horn and yell at them.
    • Nothing, just wait for them to finishing crossing.
    • Rev your engine to scare them into crossing faster.
    • Hit one to teach the rest a lesson.

    I was so tempted to pick the last option.

        Ideally the speed limit should be set such that it would always be possible to stop in time at such crossings. Even more ideally the road would be designed such that it would be impossible to exceed that limit.

        Unfortunately there are many places where this is not the case.

    no one calling this out for obvious AI slop?

    no one referring to R.E.M. “losing my religion”?

    we’re so cooked already.
