Wait these were banned? In Seattle Cap Hill on Sundays iirc there were nighttime street parties with hydraulic lowriders. They'd line the suicide lane, blast music, and do the hydraulic car dancing
Today I learned what a suicide lane is, what a wild idea. Turn lanes like that I'm familiar with but I've never heard of it being a passing lane
Oh my god, how were those ever a thing
I always heard it called the “chicken lane” when you had wide roads you were trying to make a left across but couldn’t get all the way over.
Ah, yeah I suppose turn lane is more accurate here. I grew up somewhere with the suicide lanes because rural farming highways but not really turn lanes because my town had a single traffic light that people ignored anyway and just used it like a stop sign lol. Never got used to saying turn lane
Never knew they were banned. Grew up going to car shows and meets and there were always homies pulling up with their Dayton’s and drag plates. The cops would just sit at the corner and make sure the meet didn’t turn into a takeover but no one ever got arrested/impounded (which is pretty amazing for Central Phoenix).
it's a case of selective enforcement, when a cop wants to abuse their power that's when they take advantage of laws like this one.
I mean, same deal with music festivals. Its not like the cops don't know there are drugs there. They just don't care as long as the organizers keep it in check.
Didn’t know they were banned. Just thought they didn’t do them here because the roads are so full of potholes that never get fixed. TIL.
All. My. Friends know the lowrider.
Make a little drip. Make a little drip. Make a little drip of pee-ee
I can't read the article because of ads. But I vaguely remember when they were outlawed, it was supposedly due to them being road hazards. Was that all propaganda?
Post-WWII, white folk saw groups of Mexicans having fun with cars and decided it was a nuisance, or had some connection to gang activity, or a bit of both. Heaven forbid people be allowed to show off their custom cars by driving slowly and safely down the street.
Hello, Cascadia friend :)
