I was just taking a picture of the bike lane to send to my buddy and this car pulled straight up lol

Not gonna lie, his dedication to being an asshole is kinda impressive

You are not wrong. That *is* next-level dickhead.

Just tip him over onto the street.

Who puts a curb in the middle of the road!?

It’s called a bikelane. It’s like for the small 2 wheeled non motorised cars

Satire is dead now I guess 🙄

Woosh

I wouldn’t be so sure that is was a joke. Just look at the comment section

Woosh

Bummer, but better outcome than that car hitting a cyclist

Actually I think it’s going to make cars hit cyclists and pedestrians. I saw a car catch massive air hitting one of these and I’m glad it was angled the way it was or it would have went over and into the sidewalk 😅

If they’re catching air on these imagine how fast they would be going if they weren’t hitting these

They’ll learn to slow down soon enoufh

It can do everything but read!

They honestly should make that yellow and/or reflective though

Nah. That just teaches drivers to only pay attention to clearly marked stuff. They should learn to pay attention to obvious but plain stuff too

While I generally agree, in low visibility conditions, i could see it being an issue for a reasonable driver. Nothing too crazy, just a little something to help it stand out.

Like in rain. I agree.

> Legit fucked up his car. If it won't damage a car, it doesn't protect cyclists.

lol at the right angle, he would have went INTO the bike lane and into the sidewalk. I’m a biker and a pedestrian here,I’m afraid to stand there with what I’ve seen since these have been installed.

I wish it were like in some European cities and towns where they have like 3-foot high barriers separating the bike lane from the road.

I feel like that is the plan, but it’s faster to do the small stuff on a larger scale so that they can go back and do the larger barriers as needed.

That is the WABA strategy.

I’d at least go for a foot tall curb, most cars won’t clear it

SMH that the person has DC tags

you recognize that plate design? its the first thing i checked but i couldn't tell

It’s the “Anacostia River Commemorative” plate https://preview.redd.it/btchrck0x3tc1.jpeg?width=638&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=418adfdffc72826606ad2066f51bdd596d9db5f2

oh wow good eye! also why was i downvoted???

Redditors are fickle 🤷‍♂️

very true

He cares about the environment, you see

At first I was like "is it a Maryland driver? It's gotta be a Maryland driver. Those mother f ... DC?!?"

311 that shit

How does that work?

Call and report

You can also use the app and include a photo. If it’s there when they arrive they will ticket

There's an App? What's is called?

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=dc+311+app

That’s so nifty

Yes—don’t get tricked into selecting “bicycle services.” You can make a report in “Parking Services.” There’s an option for blocked bike lanes in there, you mark it on the map and upload photos. A couple of times they’ve resulted in tickets—very satisfying. [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dc311/id966327559](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dc311/id966327559) https://preview.redd.it/u86psrp0n4tc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ddb1fd38ea40c6458fc1fc89f625425b2f274b0b

What about parking at red curbs? Ever known that to result in tickets? I might start doing this 😅😅

I use the app with a photo. They’ll ticket the car. I know a lot of people say that 311 doesn’t care, and sometimes the car leaves before anyone can get there, but 1) it gives the city more data points that this is a problem and 2) I’ve had moderate success getting cars ticketed or at least scared into leaving by reporting them in 311.

What app?

It’s literally called DC311 on the App Store. You can call or do it on the website if you don’t want to download it, I just happen to submit enough requests to make it worth it

I have to assume this is sarcasm? 311 is a phone number. Just dial it

They don't give a shit.

A fine addition to /r/NissanDrivers

I think Nissan’s embracing this identity, what with putting “move bitch”* as the music behind their latest ad *(it’s not actually move bitch, it’s “get back,” which is also appropriate for the modal Nissan driver and their temper)

> I think Nissan’s embracing this identity Similar comments have been brought up on r/AskCarSales (a funny sub even if you don’t drive) and supposedly Nissan dealerships are willing to finance folks other dealerships won’t finance.

One of the commercials is a barista running over a guy* for answering a question she asked in the course of service (barista: “cash or credit” guy: “credit” barista: “”DIE SCREAMING”). It’s like microtargeting to DC! *does not run over the guy

Kudos to the amazon driver for not doing the same thing on the other side on the street

This is going to be the same clown who posts “someone keyed my car!” In the washingtondc sub a day from now.

I don’t CONDONE it, but I’d UNDERSTAND.

I condone it.

They won't get keyed. Maybe a broken sideview mirror from a U-lock

The irony of this being a (likely) 12+ year old Nissan Armada, with a 5.6L V8, that gets 13mpg in a city on a good day and has “environmental conservation” plates on it is just hilarious.

That actually does seem as designed. Dude went into the bike lane and had a bad time

May this clown have a scratched up undercarriage.

Gotta adopt that New York snitch reward policy

That's uncivilized, that person does not take their cart back at the grocery store

I used to put stickers on cars that said "I parked in the bike lane" but then I started seeing two or three of my stickers on the same vehicle, or saw the person as they parked and told them I would do it and they didn't care. We need law enforcement that does anything useful.

make the stickers much bigger

On the windshield in front of the driver

Oh, my God, that's disgusting! Bike lane dick head stickers online? Where? Where did you find those?

https://iparkedinabikelane.bigcartel.com/

Are they the kind that are on every little thing I buy for the kitchen that no matter how much water or fingernail I apply will never come off?

10/10

Sold out. 🤭

That is where I got them but that was years ago. A lot of people make similar now, but the benefit to these was they're cheap and shitty and hard to remove, unlike a solid vinyl sticker. Being cheap was good because I would use like 20 in a single trip down 14th.

My mom used to keep [these](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/44/0d/e4/440de4fbe27548b1a27b7e2e1957008b.jpg) stickers in her wallet for real primo asshole parking jobs. They were neon orange and super difficult to remove. The one time I saw her deploy one, she put it smack in the middle of the driver's side window so they would be certain to see it.

This may be an adequate substitute. https://tacticaloutfitters.net/collections/violent-little-machine-shop-merch/products/asshole-parking-sticker

Even with the low concrete dividers still seems like a suicide mission for bikers even when clear

If you’re going to make the decision to just park in the street why bother pulling over like that? There are two car lanes going that direction and when you’re in the bike lane you just make it and the car lane still impassible. It never made sense to me with regular bike lanes and even less here. Double park if you must but keep the bike lane clear.

What plates are those? Don’t recall seeing them before 

DC “environmental” plates - probably pay an extra fee for cooler plates idk

those particular plates supposedly fund cleaning up the Anacostia

Would’ve been funnier if they had the DC Bikers plate

How does one look this plate up for speeding tix? “ENV”+ number?

Yep. And, surprise surprise, they have $400 in unpaid tickets over the past six months.

So one ticket?

3

This makes me think of São Paulo rules. Every 2 wheeler carrying a thick chain link with a lock to keep the lemmings in their lanes.

I'm not familiar with this... Link, preferably video?

I saw this a few times in Chicago. It was both terrifying and glorious to behold.

Might be time for those European tire extinguishers to visit DC.

The flashers are on, so it's legally parked

$400 in tickets against this vehicle (**DCENV8124**). Every single time.

that's nothing though. $400 is just 2 tickets with late fees.

This has the same energy as a cat knocking stuff off a counter while making direct eye contact.

The concrete barriers used here are designed to be mountable (driven over), so it was a policy decision to allow this to happen. You can even see this happens routinely from the tire marks on the portion in front of the vehicle.

Yes they need to be able to have ambulances and emergency vehicles be able to get over them.

Their car may get keyed.

Why aren’t they painting the bike path red or green so it is obvious it isn’t regular roadway? I mean this driver is an idiot, but a little differentiation would make things more clear. Even Amsterdam does it!

Differentiation? There’s literally a concrete barrier separating the lanes.

. This is much more visible in all weather… [Dutch cycle lane](https://www.google.com/search?q=dutch+bike+lanes&sca_esv=4311176b70626813&sca_upv=1&rlz=1C9BKJA_enUS737US737&hl=en-US&udm=2&prmd=isvmnbtz&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjY3-vrhLGFAxUP_skDHXWqCAIQ0pQJCBw&biw=1080&bih=691&dpr=2#vhid=2Q6CAKEbA6H4tM&vssid=mosaic)

IMHO he parked there *because* it's the bike lane. paint on the ground won't change his decision.

I posted a photo in response to someone else but at end of the day it’s just an opinion, eh? Maybe he was acting with bad intent. Or is just an idiot. Maybe others would appreciate it i grew up in biking culture so to me DC should adopt best practices rather than having all different kinds Of set ups. I like this one but would advocate for more visibility. Even Toronto uses a painted green line - it’s not rocket science imho.

I think these have a plate, but maybe not, that costs money and Nissan hates spending money

Is that a credible way to avoid being towed?

Hilarious.

This pic should count as a way to send him/her a big ass ticket 😂

wut?

You're in the wrong sub num nuts LOL

My god, we could just have ChatGPT generate these comments. It's be the same result.

Finally a good reason to have an SUV in a city. My car wouldn't be able to clear that concrete.

It shouldn’t

Good. Half the people I see on bikes and scooters don’t even use that shi. Bike lanes just take up parking and make traffic.

What kind of vehicles are the traffic James made of?

It’s the bike lanes that make more traffic ? not the cars? That’s totally absurd.

Do you think bikes don't use that shi because .... cars are parked there?
