Too Fast!

Ron Rybs @Ronrybs (21497) • London, England 24 Nov 24

Came across this scene a couple of Sundays ago, next to Heathrow airport. Someone travelling a bit too fast has managed to mangle two sets of railings and doubtless didn’t do their vehicle any good either! The lower photo shows...

How does the "randomness factor" affect you?

The Horse @TheHorse (238317) • Walnut Creek, California 15 Jun 17

When I wake up in the morning, I can never tell what kind of mood I'm going to be in once I'm fully conscious. Optimistic? Depressed? Productive? Lazy? It's that darned "randomness factor." When I post on MyLot, I can never tell...

Secret of an Everyday Object

Ron Rybs @Ronrybs (21497) • London, England 13 Sep 16

anthony davis @lookatdesktop (27156) • Dallas, Texas 26 Apr 16

After about 50 crashes on these two blocks alone in about a 5 year period, they finally managed to install traffic lights at the corner. Now the folks who like to drag race from one end of the road to the other will have to think...

Slow down on yellow light

beamer88 @beamer88 (4259) • Philippines 13 Feb 11

The basic rule when approaching a yellow light is to slow down since this would eventually turn to red and thus you have to stop. I've been driving for almost half my life now and to this day, I still notice people apparently...

moneymakingtoday @moneymakingtoday (4061) • Philippines 5 Jan 10

Traffic lights change quickly in some areas and take longer in other areas. It is really boring to wait for the green signal. Even with the music playing inside the car, we sometimes experience weariness, listlessness and...

Do you realize how BIG the traffic lights are?

reinydawn @reinydawn (11642) • United States 17 Nov 08

I never paid attention to this until today, when I saw someone carrying one. Those traffic lights are HUGE!!! I mean, they're over half the size of a person. The round part where the light is can fit someone's head in it. They...

What will you do...

gr8life @gr8life (6251) • Malaysia 31 Jul 08

1) You're driving on a busy road and you give a signal to enter the next lane. The driver next to you just ignore it and doesn't want to give you way. Not long after, you see his car again. This time, he tries to enter your lane...
