Does anyone else think it's weird that in our closets we can reach and touch the other side but in my living room we can't and they both fit in my house?
Edit: Downvoted by the guy with the walk-in closet I guess. Lucky bastard.

Nope. My closet is thin but wiiide. I can touch its width, but not its length
Girl, I may not be long, but I sure am thin!
the walls of a bus are sheetmetal thin, while car doors are padded with soundproofing and foam and handles and speakers and airbags and multiple layers of metal. plus the bus seats are benches for easy side movement while cars have bucket seats and seatbelts.
I DIDN’T SAY I WANTED A MAGICAL REAL LIFE MYSTERY SOLVED ASSHOLE
My bicycle also fits in a lane. And I can cover its width with a single arm.
If my grandmother had wheels, she’d be a bicycle.
Plus a bus is wider than a car, and takes up more of the lane than a car.
they’re also taller than cars
Usually longer too!
Please use the spoiler tags people.
Not to mention buses can be up to 100% busier than cars as well
They bussin fr
Your car doesn't fill a lane so - and stay with me here - busses are wider.
Wait until they have to drive a dually truck where the truck is noticeable wider behind you.
It’s always funny seeing dually drivers who are afraid of how wide they are. You can always spot them because they’ll maintain way too much distance from the curb, and end up riding the line for the middle lane. Experienced dually drivers have no issues staying in a lane, but the newbies will almost always end up halfway into the middle lane as an overcorrection, because they’re afraid of curbing their rear tires.
Same vibes
Man discovers the concept of width
I think he's assuming all vehicles are the same width.
Ride a motorcycle behind a car - then ride behind a bus. You'll really understand the difference from that point of view.
As someone who regularly drives a large vehicle, I find it amusing how big a berth folks in little cars give. If my box truck can make it you don't need to cut half way into the next lane in your Fiat.
Mother fucking idiot 18 wheeler drivers sway out of lanes all the time. I do appreciate you being aware though. Some of those folks shouldn't even drive a 10 ft box truck.
Are you talking about those motherfuckers that turn a little to the opposite direction before turning? I fucking HATE that shit.
uhm that's counter steering and actually helps you reach the apex of the corner quicker.
rookie racer
The motherfuckers who do this take said turn at like 2km/h, they're not racing at all
It because they're bracing themselves with the steering wheel when doing a very exaggerated shoulder check.
My driver training course explicitly brought this up, but presumably not everyone took driver training.
But I don't think that's what they're talking about, I think they mean that little cars who give an enormous berth between their car and obstacles, so they end up taking up as much of the road as a large car would
You are correct that's what I mean. Little cars passing parked cars, rubbish on the road, or bicyclists in the bike lane going half way, or more, into the oncoming lane to avoid it.
It only takes one bike to wobble as you pass or one baby cart coming unexpectedly out behind the obstacle to imprint the need to give wide clearance
Quickest line and far easier to not hit those rims. You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
