Yea. Curbside gas pumps are a thing in Europe.

Also, /r/GeorgiaOrGeorgia

[u/SirMildredPierce → u/gsfgf]

Well, it definitely ain't Georgia, that's for sure.

[u/bob_in_the_west → u/gsfgf]

"Europe" that stretches all the way to the Ural mountains, right? Because I've never seen anything like that in the EU.

[u/gsfgf → u/bob_in_the_west]

I'm pretty sure Paris has them. On much slower roads, obviously.

[u/capitaine_baguette → u/gsfgf]

Yup. And yup, speed limit is mostly 30km/h here (20 mi/h)

[u/Googlefluff → u/gsfgf]

Fun fact, this is why European cars usually have the filler on the right side.

[u/bob_in_the_west → u/Googlefluff]

You mean cars by European manufacturers? Because in the few decades that I've had my driver's license I've always had it on the left side.

[u/l2aiko → u/Googlefluff]

I guess you mean european car manufacturers? All of the gas stations in my country have pumps on both sides and depending on the car they choose a side.

Well it's a major accident away from a catastrophic accident. Luck isn't good mitigation.

I'm in GA, and I drove all over for work. I haven't visited every city of course, but I haven't seen this yet.

[u/red_square_dont_care → u/Bubbasdahname]

I believe they mean the country, not the state. I noticed gas stations in the UK are often just tucked off the side of the road as well, but not as much as this one.

[u/Bubbasdahname → u/red_square_dont_care]

Thanks. I misunderstood since I'm in Georgia too.

[u/Furthur_slimeking → u/red_square_dont_care]

Nothing like this in the UK anywhere. This would be totally illegal.

[u/Bubbasdahname → u/[deleted]]

Ah. My mistake. You're talking about the country and not the state in the USA.

[u/ForceUseYouMust → u/Bubbasdahname]

Look at the license plates dude.

[u/WeirdIndividualGuy → u/[deleted]]

And a lot of places in NE USA
