@lfg_uk He's trying to figure out if it's a tram or just light rail

[Ruminy Fish @Ruminyfish]

@RobIrvine14 @benhoobs I have no idea

[Ruminy Fish @Ruminyfish]

@_santabeliever Of those 30, I believe 18 actually show male mythical creatures rather than human men

[Ruminy Fish @Ruminyfish]

@timreay @rorysutherland Weird, I find the opposite!

[Ruminy Fish @Ruminyfish]

@timreay @rorysutherland Yeah American cars are tanks driven by 14 year olds!

[Ruminy Fish @Ruminyfish]

@timreay @rorysutherland I can kinda buy that but I'm mainly thinking of actual car parks, where everyone is already going very slowly and expecting others to be maneuvering. If the roadway was an actual busy road then for sure.

[Ruminy Fish @Ruminyfish]

@timreay @rorysutherland How can it possibly be harder to back out, when you're backing into a larger area than you're starting in? The bottleneck is opening!

[Ruminy Fish @Ruminyfish]

@timreay @rorysutherland I'm in the UK. I can't remember the last time I saw a car park with a roadway that tight, even a multistory

[Ruminy Fish @Ruminyfish]

@timreay @rorysutherland In that very narrow example yes, but that's rare

[Ruminy Fish @Ruminyfish]

@timreay @rorysutherland I understand the wheels. The fact remains, the seat and controls are in a forward facing position, therefore it's easier to drive forwards into any narrow space

[Ruminy Fish @Ruminyfish]

@timreay @rorysutherland It's still wider than a parking space, and longer too

[Ruminy Fish @Ruminyfish]

@Battsby @prieurdp I'm sure they do, you'd be amazed how many recommendations are arbitrary (remember covid?) Either way it's the same amount of forwards & reverse, same risk to pedestrians (random blue dots).

[Ruminy Fish @Ruminyfish]

@rorysutherland Yes but the forklift driver is still facing forwards

[Ruminy Fish @Ruminyfish]

@rorysutherland I don't follow. By that very logic, reversing out into a wide roadway is obviously less prone to mistakes than reversing into a narrow space

[Ruminy Fish @Ruminyfish]

@Battsby @prieurdp Either way you spend an equal amount of time going forward and backwards in both the roadway and the space. Pedestrians are equally likely in either position. Safety is the same either way.

@ianmiles You impaled a kid!
I don't think we did, mate.

[Ruminy Fish @Ruminyfish]

@Battsby @prieurdp Safer how? It's a lot easier to reverse out into a wide roadway than to reverse in to a car-width space. Makes no sense to me.
