Foxtrot_13 posted:The employer will be the guy in the driving seat. This will be Joe Bloggs trading as APC so it may look profesional but is just a guy and his mates doing building work. If it is he's pretty dumb. Everyone else getting held up behind in the middle lane can see the company name as they pass. I've been an employee in a marked van, plus also been self employed and I would never do that. There's no way of telling how much poo poo you could get in either way. I would never do that even if anonymous either it must be said. That's the work of a true lunatic. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Oct 18, 2015 |

Just watched an Impala back into a Protoge hard enough to move it a few inches, then drive away. I didn't catch the plate, but the ladies in the Nissan in front of me caught up to them and got it. They were going to add it to the note I left on the window. I took a photo and I can make out the last four or five numbers and I'm guessing they live in the apartment building they were backing out of, so hopefully they get a chance to pay up.

InitialDave posted:Yep. Thing is, having used it myself recently, this system updates really quickly. That thing is definitely a month past its last MOT. Over here if you miss your APK date by more than two workdays, you'll get a ticket in the mail pretty much automatically. Fail to comply and your license plates are flagged as being revoked. The second you pass any catchken equipped cop car, they will pull you over, impound your car, and bill you for the pleasure.

I'm not suggesting it'd be easy to find out where he lives and have some lads pull out his fingernails with pliers and dump him in a field tied up in a sack.

Saw an AMG just sitting in the middle of the road today with the right front tire just sitting about 100 ft further along. There wasn't even an accident, it looks like the bolts just weren't tight enough or something. Stupid loving thing to mess up on a car that fast.

Car driver: Crum was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on Monday afternoon. We asked Crum if he would like the chance to apologize. "To her," he said, referring to Sanders' girlfriend. "But to him, no. Because he was doing something illegal." Motorcycle rider: As for Sanders, police say he's now been cited for passing in a no-passing zone and driving with an invalid license. Motorcycle passenger: His girlfriend, who was riding with him on the motorcycle, remains in the hospital with serious injuries. ---------- Everybody loses!

What's important is that everyone can take a life (or most of it) with impunity, so long as they can make the case that their victim was the 'bad guy!'

"He crossed the double yellow, if i had had my shotgun i would have shot him, but i didn't so i had to improvise." (Not an actual quote)) Death penalty to minor traffic infractions. I wonder what else he thinks deserves the death penalty. Walking on his lawn most assuredly. Would he drive over pedestrians who cross where there isn't a crossing? He'd probably stomp on the gas.

I saw a guy a little bit ahead of me almost hit a curb with his car going down a straight road. I noticed his head was down and assumed texting while driving. I catch up to him and get a better look and, nope, he's just eating a plate of nachos.

Yes, that was this morning's rescue. I didn't catch the bit about shopping bags, holy poo poo. How loving entitled do you have to be to make a team of people come get you after driving into a flooded wash, and be mad that they didn't risk their lives for your loving shopping?

I've always been a little unsure of that as a name for a car, but I guess that there's not that much danger of people taking the message "Buy our vehicle if you like the idea of taking more than a decade to get home while dozens of other men try to bang your wife in your absence"

People generally have no concept of just how much energy is actually transferred by flowing water pushing against several square feet of car body.

While I'm filling up my gas tank this morning a guy pulls up to the pump next to me, and walks across the lot and into the building. I finish up and as I'm starting my car and getting ready to pull away from my pump, he gets into his car and pulls out ahead of me. Never got any gas, just wanted to park there. It's a decent sized station and there is plenty of parking along the front and sides of the building. I guess the side of the building was just too far for him to walk so somebody wanted to get gas can just sit and wait until he's done. So he pulls out onto the side street, and at the end of that street runs the red light to turn left (west) across two lanes of east-bound traffic without even slowing down a little bit. I don't know if he was just so caught up in his own little jackass world that he wasn't paying attention, or if he just didn't give a poo poo, gently caress everybody else.

I feel like maybe I've been overly considerate by, after getting gas, moving my car to an actual parking spot before going into the gas station to purchase whatever.
