Thread 716158402

Do you ever brake in racing video games? Tapping brake to enter drift doesn't count.

All that money wrapped in a car that had undersized brakes and sticky throttle. Retards.

If the game isn't overly arcadey and requires breaking to fit in corners, then yes. Also, when a an unexpected turn appears that I didn't see coming.

>>716158402 (OP)
QRD?
why aren't those old men wearing seatbelts

>>716159061
Leaving 2 points of their harnesses unbuckled and the driver locking his arms/elbows should tell you everything you need to know.

>>716159061
1000hp, undersized brakes and a sticky throttle thats the QRD.

>>716158402 (OP)
I have always wondered what kind of a retard doesnt put his seatbelts on
Even that guy who went full schizo in UK and stole and crashed 3 cars put his seatbelt on.
He plowed to a fucking house and the seatbelt is the only thing that kept him alive there

>>716159217
>>716159279
yeah i just found it online https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oO226PgSkg and it's all about them and how hurt they got, nothing about the person they rear ended
fucking kikes

>>716159305
Hope they got sued to the poor house.

>>716159061
when you put new brakes on a car, you have to pump the pedal to build pressure in the brake lines so that they work, otherwise the pedal is mushy and does nothing. forgetting this is a great source of accidents in car repair shops

>>716158402 (OP)
just money shift if your breaks fail.

>>716159061
They are wearing lap belts.
Otherwise the would have gone through the windscreen.

Story is, guy build up a muscle car but cheaps out on the brakes. Youtuber goes for a test drive, brakes fail, nowhere to go but into the rear end of the cars stopped at the traffic light in front of them.

Both live, car totalled though, something like 200k and a decade of work down the drain because he didn't spend extra money on decent brake discs.

>>716159061
Because they are BADASS MANLY MEN and not sissies.

HOLD OOOOONNNNNNNNNNN

Wow, cool expensive car, I wonder if it has airbags?

>>716158402 (OP)
Does it still count if you don't release the gas while braking?

>control f "break"
>2 results
ATTENTION: THERE ARE 1, POTENTIALLY 2 RETARD(S) ITT, LAUGH AT THEM

>>716158402 (OP)
context of webm?

>>716158402 (OP)
I drop gears because most games don’t account for using the option and it’ll automatically slow you down to a pre-determined speed (even if you alter transmissions and gear ratios), without any finicking you’d need to do because of braking.
It’s pretty funny to dominate online lobbies because of doing this.

yeah I do
got loadcell pedals

>>716159692
lol perfect

my irl gas pedal is sticking but i don't want to take it to the mechanic since i just blew a bunch getting the alternator + gas pump fixed because the former was giving off some crazy smell and the pump had a hole in it
what should i do? tried looking under it to see if there was any dirt or whatever snagging it, but there was nothing there.

>go full speed for as long as possible before the turn
>brake quickly but only as much as you have to
>make the turn
>accelerate out of it
>repeat

>>716159571
both live? i was so sure one guy snapped his neck

why isn't there an emergency break

>>716159692
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>716158402 (OP)
>removed the handbrake handle because it was supposedly ruining the interior look or something like that
>purposefully gimped the seatbelt because he's too cool for them
Both should've died then and there.

>>716160623
No, the driver broke his arm though

>>716159292
He has a lap seatbelt

>>716159571
They also crashed into a minivan and pushed it into live traffic, almost killing the entire family. They didn't care about that though.

This also wasn't a brake failure. The throttle got stuck. They also knew about this beforehand but still went out recklessly into traffic.

>build 1000HP monsta
>use brake pads found from a rusty bicycle he pulled from a river in 1982
>3 point seatbelts are for the crybaby generation, lap belt is fine
>car doesn't even idle properly, so has to ride the brakes while shooting the video
>turns out running your chibi brakes hot makes them pretty bad at their job
>YOLO straight into parked cars at traffic lights
The only thing he didn't do that would've topped it off is to blame the kids these days.

I wanna see what the car looked like

>>716161049
Please tell me they are least got raped in prison for reckless behaviour.

>>716158402 (OP)
just noticed if you pause at the very end of 0:14 (right before the camera fucks off) you can see the driver's arm bent the wrong way

>>716161049
actually thinking about this a little more, your brakes should still be able to stop your car even if the throttle is stuck open. it's just that this car was too powerful
>>716161252
yeah here

>>716161046
Yeah and that only protects you from flying out the windshield
They still slam their upper bodies on their fucking knees
That driver also seriously could have gotten his arms snapped because he locked his arms too
How the fuck is a lap belt even allowed, its like a joke

>upload a video proving their fault
Their insurance company must have been fucking livid

>>716161376
I don't think you should be required to force reckless people to survive.

>>716161487
The video seems to show exactly that happening.

oopsie

>>716161330
yamete

money shift it. Throw that shit in reverse if youre in this kinda situation. A new transmission and engine is cheaper than these hospital bills and months of lost wages.

>>716161259
>>716161681
If only there was some kind of invention that could've kept them in place.

>>716161793
Probably lying about the same place as the thing that could have stopped the car.

>>716161319
They didn't. His insurance also supposedly covered the damage to the minivan, which insurance is known to not cover anything they would deem criminally negligent.

I don't know why I come to this website full of assholes you can all go fuck yourselves. Eurofaggot hours are the worst.

>>716161724
Does mis-shifting actually slow the car down?

>>716162070
enjoy your broken back from your crotch seatbelt

>>716160336
what terrible games are you playing

>>716161331
>even if the throttle is stuck open. it's just that this car was too powerful
do they have some sort of dipshit retarded drag racing transmission with no true neutral disconnect?

>>716162107
mis-shifting could potentailly destroy your transmission, which would obviouslly stop your engine power going to your wheels
but downshifting properly is also a way to slow the car down
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking

>>716160074
this is rakshit territory now

>>716162070
I hate muh yoro walkable bikable citys circlejerks too, I can hate those and slso hate negligent drivers like the ones in the video who recklessly endanger everyone around them.

One of the most insanely fucked up things that's happened to someone I've met. Damn shame because they were legitimately great people.

>>716161376

That's exactly what happened.

If I was the owner of the car they crashed in, I would have come out and beat the shit out of them, all the teeth they had left wouldn't be there when I finished with them.

>>716162704
man

>>716159061
theres a funny edit the guy in the passenger seat posted of this
>driver says car doesnt need better/bigger breaks
>passenger says fuck it no need for harness/seatbelt
>proceeds to lose most of his front teeth and require multiple surgeries

>>716162704
it's crazy how there isn't more of this stuff happening, cars are incredibly powerful and humans are basically retarded
damn shame about the family, imagine just getting ripped out of existence like that randomly

>>716162704
maybe mudslimes are right about alcohol

>>716162908
>it's crazy how there isn't more of this stuff happening
wtf are you talking about
its happening constantly you just dont hear about it

>>716161793
and perhaps some foreknowledge about not locking your fucking arms against the immovable steering wheel during a crash

>>716162908
i find humans to generaly able to be very competent

he takes a fucking massive BITE out of that dashboard btw

>>716163178
fuck no, it's called taking the easy way out

>>716161694
That does it. We need more ragdoll physics in driving games.

>>716163178
I think it would have been better if lived, sobered up, and did something positive with his life to balance it out, but I can't say I was too upset or surprised when I found out. That's some horrific shit to have to live the rest of your life knowing you did, drunk or not.

>>716163319
I dunno at least he won't be wasting taxpayer money in jail.

>>716162704
In my corner of the world there has been a long standing trend from the government to put put horrific public awareness adverts (mostly dramatised incidents where it goes from zero to everyone is dead and mangled) and the like about driving under the influence which - combined with the long arm of the law dropping the hammer on people found guilty - went a long way to curbing incidents.

>>716162107
Yes. It's called J braking or engine breaking. Of course if you're way above redline, you slow the car down by ejecting the tranmission.

>>716163429
I think we used to have commercials and shit of stuff like that here and I used to laugh at how unrealistic and goofy they seemed sometimes, but that helped me realize that yes people are actually that retarded.

>>716163413
Cool it with those remarks bro

Watching videos from channels like Just rolled in fills me with horror at the state of cars in burgerland.

>>716161259
Kek, they must have mangled their balls with those little underpants belts.

>>716164156
and the fact they can just be driven away even if they'd fail the equivalent of an MOT

>>716161331
>actually thinking about this a little more, your brakes should still be able to stop your car even if the throttle is stuck open. it's just that this car was too powerful
Completely untrue on anything except the weakest engines. You proof brakes exactly by overpowering them. A muffler disspates about 2HP of power, driving a gear down dissipates about 5HP, regular braking might dissipate around 100HP and performance brakes can go much higher. But even a shitbox 2L can overpower its own brakes.

>>716158402 (OP)

>>716164649
some of that shit can't be road legal

When states have no mandatory check for the state of a vehicle then it sure as shit is.

>>716165294
Protip: in most of the civilised world these sorts of checks are preventative as they are often yearly so it is hard for a vehicle to get in that bad of a state through normal wear and tear.

brakes won't stop shit if you've been riding it all the time, doesn't matter how powerful the car is the same would happen in a every day commuter 80hp shitbox

that's ludo

>>716162107
yeah I engine brake all the time, it's a fun game to try and make it to stop signs without using the brakes
on country roads of course, I'm not an asshole

I've never understood not wearing a seatbelt.

>>716167145
that's like driving behind teslas that have aggressive regen braking on
when they regen brake their brake lights don't turn on even though they're clearly slowing down

>>716167204
My uncle once went off on a tangent about how much he hates ralph nader because one of the small kids was worried about a 3 minute drive being in the bed of a pickup lmao

>>716167028
It is what you don't hear or feel. Smooth rides, quiet cabin and comfy seats.

>>716167204
Seatbelts are only needed in overpopulated shit holes and hazardous road conditions. It's like locking your door at night. Don't need to if you're in a high trust community.

>>716166590

okay son, but freedom never goes over 85mph

Only thing personally I remember is a friend’s younger sister got brain damaged from a car accident. But the worst is that her speech is slurred and she’s not as fast thinking. But she can still walk and such. Really sweet girl, haven’t seen them in over a decade tho cause I moved.

or the opposite with much more power, exhaust sounds, stiff ride, comfy but hugging seats. When I got rid of my '94 A to B shitbox and got a 'sports' car from the early 2000s that has 3-4x the hp I nearly hurt my hand squeezing the steering wheel so hard while flooring it

Does it not put an excess strain on the engine?

>>716169295
The engine has pressurized air passing through it regardless. It's basically just running the engine in reverse (not directionally but in terms of where power is supplied from, the wheels in this case).

>>716169095
Not for long.

I hope it was worth it.

>>716169295

But of course I mean proper engine braking. If you're going 100km/h and downshift to second gear yes you are absolutely going to fuck up your car.

It was a car full of illegals that fled the scene. The driver deserved to get assraped legally on general principle, but this is what happens when we have millions of people driving around that are outside the system. If they hit you or you hit them the law just shrugs most of the time.
