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!

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? 
(If you haven't got one, you can borrow mine).

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!

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.

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.

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

Then please stop typing messages while you are driving, it could be considered dangerous.

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.

Those movie advertisements they show in theaters before the main feature, why are they called "trailers?"

I would be more curious how popular that specific question is on google.
I couldn't find an answer to my question. I did find the Wikipedia page for the OP question. Wikipedia was launched in 2001 and the page for that question was added in 2005.
And then I thought about looking up the oldest page
Wikipedia:Wikipedia's oldest articles - Wikipedia[^]
Kind of interesting not because of the pages but rather the history of why they really have no idea what the original page was.

So I am not the only one asking about that Now that there are two of us, I took the time to see if Wikipedia could help me, and found this:
Due to trailers initially being shown after, or "trailing", the feature film, the term "trailer" was used to describe the promotion; despite it coming before, or "previewing", the film it was promoting. This practice was found to be somewhat ineffective, often ignored by audiences who left immediately after the film.
So, historically, they were trailing the main feature. Thanks for making me look it up

Thanks for doing the legwork on that 
I suspected as much.

Well, at least until someone comes up with a dumb name for them, like "prequel".
Preler?

Nowadays they're also called teasers, isn't it?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks. Never knew the technicalities of these terms.
|
|
|
|

They're meant to tease you.
And there's a tease in every trailer court.
Hence trailer, because they called call them ho's.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?
