That's my entire point

>Also thought about buying some and just remelting it

I wouldn't suggest this until you figure out exactly what material you're dealing with, you might need to get the raw material in liquid state, and then it just hardens by being exposed to air

Fair enough, but it sounded like you were claiming that it's not a term, not that you didn't know of it, or were ignorant of it

Of course, but predictable driving is a defined term, ask any driving instructor, or educator, they will all be able to list you what is considered to be predictable driving

>risk assessments, reaction times and other factors

None of this changes the fact that when you turn on your right turning signal, people are gonna assume you're gonna be steering to the right, or when your brake lights turn on, it means your car is slowing down

>we both know that language can be quite a subjective experience,

Yeah, but not when you're thought what some phrases mean exactly, what is the case here

>I feel like you read my words but interpret them your way.

You're saying the post uses wrong wording, i'm saying it uses correct wording, and give a reason why

>Useless post, that's all

Yeah, i can agree with this since it's literally thebfirst thing you're thought in a driving school anyways, redundant at best

>Yes, but that was not what the post originally said

It literally says "preditable driving"

>good luck explaining 'predictably' to every single individual

They were thought about it in driving school, the wors themselves are there just to remind them of it

>language is so open to interpretation

You're getting philosophicall here, thr point of the post is that they use exact same terminology used in driving schools so people remember it as they were thought when they drove the first time

>What you might do in a situation might not be what someone else would.

Of course not, and i don't expect it, i just let people know what i'm doing so they know what i'm about to do, so they expect it

>Maybe better phrasing for this post would be drive safely, according to the law?

It's not the same thing though, being safe doesn't mean you're predictable, predictability does make you safer, also, this post uses the standard driving school language everyone goes through when learning how to drive, and i've heard the exact same wording in 6 languages, always using whatever word it is for predictable, this is the best phrasing for what the post is trying to say becsuse everyone is familiar with the term, and knows exactly what it means, those who don't, either didn't go to driving school, or have been driving for 20 years already anyways so it wouldn't matter what you told them, they're still gonna keep driving as they've been driving already

That's literally the first thing they teach you in driving school

>how do you define predictable driving?

Using turning signals at appropriate times, avoiding changing lanes for no reason, using your brake when engine breaking just enough so your brake lights turn on, so the person behind you knows you're slowing down, using the overtaking lane for overtaking, not the driving lane, etc.

But i'd say turning signals are one of the more important parts, i see too many people turn them on when they're already making the turn, like, what's the point in that, literally none, you're already making the turn, it's obvious you're turning right now, turning signals are meant to notify everyone what you're about to do, not what you've already done

>It's quite a subjective metric

I mean not really, just do stuff that lets others know what you're about to do and what you're doing, and that's driving predictably

I mean, some sort of an access panel, pick one slightly larger than the hole, expand the hole to fit it, and make sure it's level
