- nash 1y agoGenerally that's not actually breaking the law. Avoiding accidents, following reasonable directions from road crews and the like explicitly override other laws.
- nradov 1y agoHow do Tesla Robotaxis handle unreasonable directions from road crews? The other day there was a crew patching potholes in my neighborhood and one worker was standing there giving vague hand signals with no sign or anything. I just ignored him and went around when it seemed safe.

- reaperducer 1y agoHow do Tesla Robotaxis handle unreasonable directions from road crews? The law where I am is that human traffic directors (police, sheriffs, construction crews, etc) take precedent over what's in the book. If they didn't, nobody could ever get around a fire truck at a fire. I just ignored him and went around when it seemed safe. And that's where you get a ticket. Plenty of cops around here sitting at the exit of construction zones waiting for people just like you.
- nradov 1y agoNah. If there was a cop around he would have made sure the road crew had actual signs.
- reaperducer 1y agoHow?
- nradov 1y agoBy telling them what to do.

- moralestapia 1y agoExcuse me, what? I get that nobody's perfect and you might do it by mistake (going 35 on a unmarked road that was 30 max or something), but the way you write your comment makes it sound like it's something one does in a deliberate way? Drivers like that shouldn't be on the road.
- nradov 1y agoExcuse me, what? If there's an obstruction in the middle of my lane then obviously I'm going to deliberately go around it. Have you ever driven a car?
- beAbU 1y ago> like crossing a double yellow line to safely get around a lane obstruction That's not breaking the law though.
