He's not talking about traffic. The absurd hills (and stop lights atop them).

It stinks but does not suck. ie Not as bad.

The thing about San Francisco is not the traffic (at times it could be) its the going uphill on the main streets then having to stop while ur uphill haha. So ur on a hill and a car could be behind u and if you don't take off fast enough ur car can hit the other car, so yeah it can be a scary.

ahh ic, never been there, but I have witnessed downtown NY traffic, and its crazy. Guess some peoples description of places and how it is can be off, better to go experience it in person :tup::driving:

LOL better make sure your brakes are top notch before you attempt. :bowrofl:

Yea I'm not trying to attempt driving in San Fran, I can't even trust someone else driving my car to go to San Fran. I need to practice first

When I'm pulling up to stopped vehicles on a hill, I always check my rear view mirror for vehicles. If there is someone coming to a stop behind me, I will roll back a tick to make sure they know I have a manual - even if I'm already stopped, if someone looks like they're barreling down on me, I'll let off the brake to roll back and then pull back up to where I was originally.

Its just precautionary and I'm not near as aggressive about it as I used to be with my Ford Explorer when I was a lot younger. One time a guy kept inching up on me closer and closer at a red light. I had already done my warning maneuver twice earlier, so I got irritated and started letting off the brake slightly every time he inched forward (note: each time, I was rolling back a few inches each time while he was rolling forward a few feet). Eventually, my hitch was inches from hitting his hood and he honked at me. The light turned green and I got out of my car and made the idiot back up so I could go without rolling back into him. This was on a one lane highway road with virtually no traffic at the time - I wouldn't have pulled this crap in traffic.

I wouldnt either man, keep at it, practice makes perfect! GL :tiphat::tup:

in San Francisco, you also have to be careful if you drive a limo :eek:

+1 good story...:tup:.. I agree and would do the same. :tiphat: On the defensive driving scheme of things ...peeps with MT need to drive and practice on S.F. hills... for that any hill would do... :tiphat:
