lemme guess, 2 was a beemer / merc / audi?
You can't park there, mate
For all parking disasters, not just simple bad parking (for that see yplac.co.uk).
Also includes "you can't park there, sir" for the police equivalent.
Rules:
- No deaths or serious injuries because who would be around to get told they couldn't park there?
- Be excellent to each other
Funnily enough, I was the one driving an Audi at the time.
FTFY
I especially approve of using what looks like PowerPoint to make your diagram
Google slide was the one I had handy while on my sofa, but in principle you’re right as it’s a copy anyway.
Seems like 2 was the asshole here. 1 was waiting for 3, and 2 likely wasn't paying attention.
Having seen it unfold, I’d struggle to assign the blame to a single party, because they were all dumber than the others. Here is how it happened:
- 1 stopped far too early in the junction to wait for 3, which was an entirely unnecessary wait anyway (1 being dumb)
- 2 moved to the lane even though 1 was blocking them (2 being dumb) — I presume 2 did that because 3 was far away and surely 1 would make their turn well before 3 arrived at the scene
- 3 drove close to 2 and blocked 1 instead of allowing 1 to turn, thus completing the gridlock (and trifecta of dumb)
I’d argue #2 is completely at fault as they pulled out into the path of 3, who had right over way over 2 and 1.
1 had to wait for 3. They might have been overcautious but there might have been something going on down the road where 3 was coming from that wasn’t visible to the others.
2 was supposed to wait until their exit is clear before moving.
they were all dumber than the others>
And this is how we have reached the state in which we currently find ourselves; an infinite loop of dumbness!
Edit: too many ins. I’m dumb.
