She's worried about getting rear ended and being pushed into the car in front of her, which would involve her insurance. So she leaves room in front. Accepting her premise, once the car behind you has come to a complete stop, the move is to not let him get pushed into you by pulling forward. Let the gap propagate down the line at that point.
When the light turns green there is enough gap to let the light computer think the line is depleted and cycle, particularly in left turn lanes. She goes through on yellow, but everybody behind her waits another cycle.
There's a reason for that law. In the 19th century it was common for someone upstream to divert the entire river. The downstream uses then blow up his dam. Then the shooting starts.
If dams downstream of you are spilling, it is generally legal to collect rainwater. If you can afford lawyers, you could even end up with a water right. The dams water rights will always be senior to yours. Goes by date, older gets priority.
Also the rain barrel example is silly, technically illegal, but not enforced.
Chanting over plants won't make them grow in near vacuum. Socialism doesn't work for frontier societies. Nationalizing another planets investments would result in Mars starving, not becoming a 'workers paradise'.
When airports do a shitty job and end up with anywhere close to a monopoly airline, ticket prices go crazy and service goes to shit. I'm thinking of MSP.
For electric generation, local distribution is a natural monopoly, there can only be one control center so Independent system operator (ISO). All the other functions (generation, interconnect) are best run as a competitive market.
Sure you get situations like PG&E 'owning' the bay area because they own the links. The fix for that is more transmission into the bay area. SF would PUD out in a second, but they know they're captive to PG&E anyhow. They should run high tension lines above/below the high speed rail/caltrain right of way. But greenies: 'Oh noes EMF.'
Your post: 'complain a lot about everything in or from Germany.' Not everything...
In fact, it's very _easy_ to find things to complain about regarding the engineering of VWs (circling back to the beginning of the conversation). Water cooled VWs are just terrible.
If Pakistan and India go nukes, why would anybody else get involved?
If N Korea launched you think the Chinese wouldn't be part of the invasion (just to protect their own interests)?
The status of the big arsinals hasn't changed. You haven't thought this through.
This group has all the credibility of the Nobel Peace Prize committee. They're spending on a credibility 'credit card' like drunken sailors at this point.
I'm part of the one branch of my family not living in Germany. Dual citizen.
Not my experience, sure everybody complains.
# of complaints about German beer I've heard from Germans, zero.
Before Matthias' last VW, # of complaints about German engineering I'd heard from Germans, zero.
Sure they like French reds...but frog cars? Never, they do sell better than frog cars in America, where they have to be branded Nissans, but I digress.
My German relatives aren't a whiny group (but they won't touch WalMart quality stuff either). Have you ever been anywhere in the NE of the USA? Talk about whiners...
Longer ago than that. There were a few years that Enzo said: 'Fuck the USA, I'm not putting 200 kilos of bumpers on my cars.' Despite the fact that the majority of his suckers/customers were from the USA at the time.
You can't have heavy steel bumpers and high CAFE mileage requirements. Pick one.
I bet they got the car fixed, nothing for diminished resale value.
It wasn't mentioned and most people don't know to even ask. If you ask they'll say 'we never pay that', knowing they _always_ pay it after being taken to court (specifically in CA).

The idiotic 'subject of the story'.
You just put every low productivity 'worker' out of work. Congratulations.
Without sin.
Punchline: 'Mother...'

If you Allante battery died, there was no way to move the passenger seat to get access to the battery.
But you could jump to lugs under the hood.
You don't own a drill?

Idiotic books. Exactly how it _won't_ be done.

Bullshit. Not what Marx predicted. Marx said capitalism would die due to zero profit margins. He was wrong in just about every prediction.
There isn't capitalism, at all, in industries like banking.
What we have in our non-capitalist system elements is closer to Marx's solution than Smiths. Which is why it sucks so bad.

Dad: You can't just plug non-ATT phones into the wall. They can tell by resistance on the ringer...
Kids: Lets try. The worst thing they can do is make us disconnect it...We'll turn off the bell.
Dad: But rules! Rules you heathens.
Our only mistake: Putting an extension in my sisters room. Pre call waiting.
Consider a control: Did rates in nations that didn't breakup their phone monopolies also go way down?
msmash should post at -1. Story is obvious troll.
They are free to create their own internet, this one is for porn.
Financial wizards are now looking at P/R ratios? Who knew?
I suppose your also an advocate of 'Burn to Book'? Price and Earnings are good metrics.
CNN was already mixed up with the king of these mistakes though. You'd think after getting financially sodomized buying AOL they would have learned.

SAP is even worse.
Frogs = French
If it will keep the Originos north of the border I'm all for it.
Terrible drivers.

Their credibility has been gone for a _long_ time. Should be ignored.
No Germans I've ever known. Rather the opposite.
Bumper covers are also cheap and easy. It's the paint that kills it.
Getting a bug painted won't be any cheaper.
Also have you seen the prices on genuine German bug parts these days? Bugs haven't been cheap cars for a couple of decades now.
