Trafic in România

Cristian Livadaru — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 10:22:19 +0000

Tocmai am primit asta prin mail, nu stiu exact sursa dar nu conteaza.

In orasul meu, inca o saptamana. Inca un weekend. A venit si toamna. Si
ploile. S-au tampit si mai tare cretinii in trafic. Dar daca saptamanile
trecute am avut parte doar de incidente periculoase care m-au facut sa
realizez ca pot sta linisita la stop si ma poate face un imbecil cu un
Audi praf, zilele trecute am avut parte si de ceva momente amuzante.
Joi am vazut o scena geniala

De la Podul Marasesti spre Budapesta, strada cu o singura banda
paralela cu linia de tramvai. In general, jmecherii merg pe linie.

De data asta, in fatza mea, o printzesa cu o mashinuta superba (imi
scapa marca, dar arata spectaculos), mergea ca toata lumea cu 2 km/h,
dar in stilul ei, cu cativa centimetri pe linia de tramvai, desi avea
loc o gramada in dreapta.

Apare si tramvaiul. Claxon. Inca unul. Inca unul.

Printzesa impasibila isi continua mersul de melc fara sa schitzeze macar
ca ar vrea sa elibereze linia sau ca, macar, ar interesa-o ca sta
tramvaiul dupa ea, ca asteapta oamenii. Ea vorbea la telefon si se dadea
cu gloss.

Momentul de senzatie s-a petrecut cand vatmanul si-a luat avant si i-a
zburat gratzios oglinda laterala! Ea, shocata, mai da si sa-si deschida
portiera si o infige in tramvai.

Incepe sa tzipe, sa-si intinda capul pe geam ca o lebada.

“*Nenorocitule! Te dau in judecata! Tu stii, ma, cat costa mashina
asta?*”

Vatmanul deschide si el usha lui si ii spune cu o voce ireal de calma:

“*Papushe, cauta-ma tu la depou, intreaba acolo de Nea Vasile. Si daca
nu iti dau io banii pe oglinda, poate iti dau baietzii o mue, sa mai
mergi si altadata pe linie, la misto”.

Blocaj total…

Cars need water

Cristian Livadaru — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 08:25:46 +0000

It is the time of year where I drive with my old MK2 Golf made in 1983. Although it’s pretty old, it’s still a reliable car. Doesn’t quite like cold days, but after some minutes it drives pretty good.
Well, yesterday I was reminded how old this car actually is and that you can expect some problems from time to time.
Driving on the A23, not the best freeway in Vienna to have a breakdown, I noticed the temperature was climbing very very fast and also the red light started flashing. This is never a good sign so I stopped, probably at the one only place on the A23 where you can stop, and called OEAMTC.
In the meantime I tried to see what’s wrong and it looked like there was a leak and I lost all the cooling water. Not good, not good at all.
But it wasn’t a big problem, the hose was shortened by the guy from OEAMTC, fitted back in and filled in new water and that was it. My old baby is running again. Just have to get a new hose in the next days since this one seems to be pretty old and it could break again.

Shit does happen …

For a second I was not careful and I hit a BMW on the freeway, well things could be worse

Winter is here

Cristian Livadaru — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 14:27:33 +0000

As expected and announced on the news, it snowed last night till today. But as every year there are some idiots, especially lory drivers, that think they are king of the road and they don’t need winter tires. Well the result of this was, as most of the time when it snows, trucks get stuck, blocking the freeway, by this blocking the complete traffic and also the cars that should clean the snow. Since last night, the A21 was blocked, thousands (as far as I can remember from the news) of people blocked on the freeway. All trucks coming from eastern europe trying to go towards germany where also blocked. The freeway S1 was a big lory parking lot. With lorries parked on the first lane and on the emergency lane for about 4 km. I would give them huge fines to driver and to the company that owns the lorries. But it’s not only the lorry drivers, also car drivers are stupid.
Yes, you don’ have to have winter tires, but at least don’t be so fucking stupid to go anywhere with your car with summer tires if you see the huge snow amount on the street. If you where to fucking lazy to put on your winter tires in time, then leave your fucking car at home and use the public transport. I mean … it’s middle of november, when did you intend to put on your winter tires? March? April?
