There are places where cyclists are allowed to treat stop signs and lights as yields rather than stops. It's actually been shown to reduce accidents.

I nearly ran over some idiot that was riding through a crosswalk AGAINST MY GREEN LIGHT. Had I been an oblivious moron like most people that seem to drive around here he'd have ended up on my hood. It wasn't the first time I saw him do it either.

porkswordonboard posted:I was driving at about 11 pm one night when a woman blithely wandered into the curving, dimly-lit street. There was a crosswalk about 6 yards away but nope, that would be too hard. The real problem is that she was pushing a loving baby carriage. I missed that fucker by less than 2 feet, mainly because I was driving under the speed limit. I don't think I have ever seen my life flash before my eyes before, but those 24 inches were the only thing between me and a lifetime of heavy drinking.

In Baltimore people who live in the shittier neighborhoods seem to have adopted this "gently caress it, if I get hit I get hit" attitude and they treat the street like their personal sidewalk. They just saunter across at an extremely slow pace, and a lot of times they almost make a point of looking in the opposite direction on a one-way street as if they are challenging the universe to make paste out of them.

The other night, bout 8 oclock, I was driving down this road near my house on the edge of town. Its got no sidewalks and has ditches on both sides. I slam on the brakes and curse at what is apparently a motorized wheelchair going 10 in a 35 mph road with no reflectors. Pretty sure I almost killed a cripple and that wouldve made me real sad, but goddamn at least put reflectors if your gonna do that bullshit.

Dude walked right in between our car and the one we were slowly backing up to. My roommate honked and the kid flicked us off. I got out, grabbed the phone he was texting on, and threw it into the park. He called me mean names as I walked away.

Well I can't have that, so I put on my shades and said "Time to take out the trash!" and spin-kicked him into a nearby dumpster. His friend came after me with a skateboard, but I blocked his attack and threw him into the dumpster so hard that the lid closed on them. I feel really good about what I did for the community that day.

Mr. Mambold posted:In China (and Nepal according to my daughter) if you hit 'em, you better kill 'em. And they do. This is because in China if you hit someone with your car you are responsible for their medical bills and have to pay them a stipend each month if they have continuing health problems. If you kill them you just get a small, one time fee.

Solice Kirsk posted:What the gently caress did you just loving say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my driver's ed class in parallel parking, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on 20 somethings, and I have over 300 confirmed cell phone throws. I am trained in honking and I’m the top cell phone thrower in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another honk-ee. I will wipe your cell phone the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with walking behind my car while I'm parking? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of cell phone throwers across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re loving dead, kid. I can park anywhere, anytime, and I can throw your phone in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in throwing phones, but I have access to the entire arsenal of embellished stdh and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rear end off the face of the continent, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo fury all over you and you will drown in it. Your phone is loving dead, kiddo.

Comments had this "Investigation into the incident has taken on special control of the heads of regional traffic police. The collision seriously injured one child — Myron polutoraletnego. The boy has a fractured hip, broken ribs, bruised lung and a concussion. On Monday the aircraft he was taken to Ekaterinburg in the 9th children's hospital. The boy was placed in intensive care, awaiting surgery. His twin sister Alice, who was sitting nearby in a wheelchair, escaped with only bruises and is already at home. Released home and three-year-old Timothy, who are also physicians recorded only a concussion. Now the traffic police conducted investigation verification."

Jesus Christ. That Roommate is a jobless Squatter that somehow manages to scrap together just enough money for "most" of his share of the rent, and at least one bottle of alcohol a day. You know what, good luck to him.
