If someone is going the wrong way down a one-way, you really want to know about them.
It happens more often than you think.
It’s true, I don’t think very often.

I personally see it on my street once or twice a month, seems unlikely I’d happen to see it every time it happens
And the person doing that is a bad driver and/or has attention problems
I remember a vid of a cyclist going the wrong way down a 1 way street. Pedestrian didn’t look that way and bam. Guess who the cyclist blamed.
You should always be looking both ways, if not for vehicles, then at least for pedestrians who have no direction.
If you do it every time, you won’t forget when it’s important.
My friend complained that there is no reason to use turn signal to show me parking on the side of the remote road in the middle of the night. I just said “It’s a muscle memory”. Later he bought himself BMW and things came clear.
Yeah well looking the ‘wrong’ way on a 1 way street has stopped me from getting run over, and looking both ways before going on the green has saved my life from a red light runner when I was on my motorcycle.
Almost died once to a woman going 75 on the wrong side of the 4 lane divided road. I dodged her but she hit a car behind me. :/
Always. Look. Both. Ways.
You never know if someone will be going wrong way down a one way street
This is actually a good tool to explain the difference between those RPG stats that can be easy to mix up:
Perception is noticing you are crossing a one-way street.
Intelligence is understanding cars are only allowed to come from one direction.
Wisdom is looking in both directions before crossing anyway.
I’ve seen my fair share of people driving the wrong way on one-way roads. Can’t rely on people following the rules.
Rules are meant to be broken
One word: bicycles
Two words: electric scooters
You forgot dipshit drivers.
Three words: dip shit drivers.
Four words: I can’t spell well.
You never fucking know, dude. Better to be safe than sorry. The other driver can be at fault and still leave you with a permanent disability.
Being in a situation where I was on the highway being passed by an on coming car on the same side… you ALWAYS look both ways. Stupidity has no bounds.
Pedestrians and cyclists exist. Even on 2-way roads I’ve personally almost been run over multiple times on the right side of the road. A vehicle would drive up to the stop sign, look left, see no vehicles, then almost hit me as they turned right because they didn’t actually look where they were going…
You have to look the other way anyway in case there might be pedestrians or cyclists crossing your path.
Or another car

How did you post image?
PFM? Pure Fucking Magic. Dammit guess I will never know.
Lemmy uses markdown, so almost any “how” question can be answered by looking up “how to x in markdown.”
For example, the first DDG result for “how to post an image in markdown”: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/markdown-markdown-images
Thanks!
Any time I can spread the good word of markdown, I’m happy to do so.
By the way, I don’t know which ones, but many Lemmy clients have buttons to simplify common markdown (links and images are notoriously easy to mess up). On my client, Connect, there are a row of buttons below the text entry area to help with formatting and syntax. It’s also how I upload images if posting from my local client rather than somewhere already online.
I don’t know your client, but it might be worth checking whether these buttons exist for you so you don’t have to remember / look up the syntax.

Considering some of the horrible drivers out there, this isn’t a bad idea
