LEAVE AMPLE ROOM


Would anybody find this funny? I am thinking this is practical because certain people leave no room for error when parking on a hill. Might give me some leeway half the time.

Also thinking of a certain Gandalf quote.
Wouldn't help. By the time they're close enough to notice what it says, they're already too close.

Don't think about it. Just get off the break, blip the gas, and feather the clutch. I always do the same motion at the same speed whether I'm on a hill or not. Even if the car behind you looks to be really close in your mirror, you probably have at least 2ft of space. If you can't manage it in 2ft... find a steep hill and practice I guess. I'm more embarrassed if I accidentally rev too high and make a lot of noise as I set off, rather than rolling back a bit. I see that all the time. They're so afraid of stalling, it sounds like they're at 2.5k as they get going.
