Driving On Sidewalks Doesn't Make Me A Bad Person
-
I posted something a long while back. It was a post about my speed records driving on sidewalks. How Fast Do You Drive On Sidewalks? [^] I have a little bit of housekeeping I'd like to do. I won't name any names, but one individual decided to reply to a thread of mine with a rant. He wasn't very nice. He and a couple dozen others immediately piled on, attacked me with derogatory slurs, incessantly mocked everything they could about me, and even expressed humor about the death of one of my family members. That's the one reason that I post this thread. The individual who instigated the whole mess by posting his rant needs to be called out for subjecting another person to such defamation. For those of you who participated in this, take a look at the truth. Review the evidence, and then take a look at yourselves. If it doesn't amuse you, it means you shouldn't take yourself so seriously. Below is a post that I wrote in another thread. It demonstrates the humor of the truth. That was many months ago, and no one saw that post. For the record, here it is. :laugh:
Ah, ha! Yes! Do any of you remember my thread asking you guys how fast you drive on sidewalks? :laugh: **Yes, I have driven 63 mph on a sidewalk! OK, back on topic. I think GTA is a great game! I used to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas back in 2007. I never actually learned how to play the game. I still haven't a clue how to play it. I had every cheat code memorized. I spent most of my time shooting down police helicopters by the dozens with an endless supply of rocket launchers. Then, I discovered how to turn off gravity. I would magically materialize a military tank out of thin air, turn off gravity, get inside the tank, and repeatedly fire the cannon. The recoil would accelerate the tank in reverse, and once I got up to speed, I would take off into the air. Sometimes, I'd land the tank on the road and, *GASP* veer off the road and onto the sidewalk! :omg:

Dude, I just read the original thread. It seems that instead of telling everyone else to stop taking themselves seriously, maybe you should begin to take yourself less seriously.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I live in India, and we have footpaths; i believe the same as sidewalks. As per traffic rules in India, it is forbidden to drive on footpaths. However a number of two-wheelers, I mean bike riders, do ride on footpaths. I have myself stopped a few such ones, some years ago. Nowadays, most metropolitan cities in India, and even smaller cities have a number of traffic cameras installed, and photos of such violations are stored in databases. And the traffic ticket is sent home. Hopefully these cameras act as deterrents.

Of course. That's a very important law. I should clarify that the context of my original thread about driving on sidewalks was in the context of a video game. That's what makes it funny to me. The game is commonly referred to as GTA for short. It stands for "Grand Theft Auto", and its setting is meant to be in San Andreas, California. Driving on sidewalks is prohibited in Cali, too. But, remember, the context is in reference to how I play a video game. Here's a link to the game on Google if you're curious. GTA San Andreas [^]

Agree, now it is clear. As you said, context is important. And this platform being global, it isn't obvious unless context is set.

GTA is a "fantasy game" - it allows us to do things we wouldn't dream of is the real world. And as such, it is heavily rigged towards being pretty much impossible to play without breaking the law! So yes, in the game, I do drive on sidewalks sometimes. In fact, if you give me a delivery van, there is a very good chance it's going to be painted red by the time I get to the destination - it's that kind of game. And I can live with that because no real or virtual sentient beings (and I'd start with cats being sentient and go on up) were harmed in any way. IRL, I'd never do that, even if I believed the sidewalk was empty! And yes, if you install a good mod menu you can turn off gravity and such like in the latest game and do what you want - just don't do it in a populated online session as you will wreck the game for everybody else and that isn't fair!

If it is any consolation to you, at the moment I'm driving on sidewalks too in small mountaineous villages near the Mosel river. The roads are very narrow and winding, and this is better than causing a collision with an oncoming vehicle. So far I have managed not to hit any pedestrians :-\

I like "the cheese grater" You drive an ambulance - has nice large flat sides - sirens on if you prefer barreling down the street so you can ragdoll peds by sideswiping them. Except you do it when there's a chain link fence to grind them against. Good times.

Have you tried attacking motorcycle NPCs with the Ramp Buggy? :-D (If you haven't got one, you can borrow mine).

Went the through the whole thread and no one called you any names, however You seemed pretty triggered by some of the comments. You chose to bring it back up 7 months later, holding a grudge maybe? You are the one gaslighting people. What a toxic sense of humor. Maybe you're just a troll and nothing more. Reported you for being one, if more people will agree we'll not see you around.

That's exactly the problem with GTA Online, and R* has never done much given the impression of doing much to prevent mods like that - unless a mod is affecting them financially (like removing incentives for the noobs to buy so-called Shark Cards). That's why nowadays I'm mostly playing in crew sessions. There's always an a-hole who will teleport right next to you, in god mode, as you're trying to sell stuff in an attempt to make a few miserable bucks, and kill you/destroy your merchandise with no way for you to retaliate.

Oh my, you're more evil than I thought. :-) One thing that always amuses me takes place on Grove street (the dead end with street gangs). Every once in a while, there'll be a purple Mananna or Tornado parked at the end of it, with a driver and passenger sitting in (just about to drive away as you show up), and people on foot walking on the sidewalk on the other side of it. If the car's there, I'll plow into it on the driver side as fast as I can go, which will push the car into the pedestrians...so they get upset at that driver and start shooting at him. Or try to get them shooting at me (with no star) then I call the cops on them, stand back and watch the ensuing chaos. Other members of my crew like to antagonize the mugger. :-)

Oh yes! Ramp Buggy | GTA Wiki | Fandom[^] It's a load of fun driving the wrong way and just flinging cars around. Otherwise pretty useless, but good for a laugh!

I was in Maracaibo, Venezuela, enjoying a good cup of coffee when I heard a commotion. Turned out some guy drove up on the sidewalk a smashed a bicycle parked there. The commotion wastwo ladies hitting the policeman with umbrellas and yelling at him to leave the driver alone. They couldn't understand why the bicycle on the sidewalk was in the way of the car.
