I encounter them occasionally on hiking and biking trails outside of town. It's pretty annoying to be flying down a nice piece of singletrack on my mtb and come across a huge pile of fresh horseshit dead center in the trail.

I live so deep in Amish land that Verizon won't run fiber optic cable out here because I'm literally the only person on the road requesting internet service. The worst is trying to avoid 10lb of fresh damp horse poo poo when you've just washed your car. I had a guy smash into an Amish shed-wagon at 55mph roughly in front of my house and drag his hosed up crippled Prius into my yard instead of stopping at the top of the driveway like a sane person. You can see the wagon-shed in the background of the first picture, facing the wrong way after the incident and with Amish guys collecting their bits and pieces from the side of the road.

I know it's to prevent people from "touching up" a 0 into a Q or whatever, but still seems dumb to have to get a whole new plate. I wonder if the state pays to replace it in case of an obvious manufacturing failure like that.

My plate is starting to do that too. I'm in WI, and I think we can get replacements at no charge. I'm guessing it's a defect with a manufacturer that serves several states.

Do people do this in the same places where they have to take care of dog crap? That's pretty stupid. I've only ridden horses in rural northern MI and Amish central MI and the only poop on the road is definitely gonna be on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. Obviously Amish have to take actual highways, but they're not usually in the road. Eskaton fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Jan 31, 2016 |

Illinois must have identified the batch of license plates they'd sent out with corrosion issues, and they sent out replacements by mail. My aunt received a duplicate set, surprised her because her original set was still fresh and clean. She parks in a heated & dehumidified garage every night, so jealous.

Snitched on this guy after he almost hit the first parked car. Don't think the cop caught him though  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ky2_wkBbFD4 Could smell MJ despite my closed windows, which is something I've never experienced before. Would guess MJ plus alcohol.

I was dreading the day I would hit one on my motorcycle and crash in a big pile or horse poop. Who does this poo poo? I've been a tourist in a lot of cities and "ride around in a horse drawn carriage" appears no where on any list. Though admittedly neither does "take a tour bus" and a lot of stupid people take those.

I was dreading the day I would hit one on my motorcycle and crash in a big pile or horse poop. We have those in the small, older downtown area in Omaha (the Old Market for any goons here). Usually the horse carriages just have a couple blocks near businesses to do their clip-clopping and I haven't seen much in the way of accidents or messes. Then again, there are cops on horseback, bicycle, and also tending to each street corner to make sure things are clear and organized, so maybe that's the difference?

I was out for a motorcycle ride this evening and it seemed every 30 seconds or so someone decided I was having too much fun and had to cut me off in the far left lane without actually passing anyone, just jerking left, brake checking, and either staying at the same pace or moving back over once they were sure I wasn't having fun anymore. I was only doing about 70 in a 55, not flying down the road like a retard at 100 like half the bikes here do.

The small car touches the brakes for a brief moment just before the impact. If he'd gone hammer down he might not have been collected. Indecison is a terrible thing.

It was reasonable to brake, if someone was trying to pass me and it was going to be close my first reaction would be to slow and let it happen instead of hammer down to prevent it.

It's situational, really. If [nasty situation] occurs, the options are pretty much (A) brake (B) accelerate (C) move (D) hold your line (E) poo poo (F) go blind. It looks like the guy collected only had a second to react and started with (A) and then switched to (B) and ended up at (E), hence the indecision is an awful thing comment. Monday morning quarterbacking but it looks like (C) was a viable option. Go for the shoulder/grass and take the ditch rather than eating truck tires and axle for your last meal.

apparently the washington state patrol doesn't see zipper merging as an acceptable way of entering traffic in a lane ending and merging down to the left, lol. got pulled over and beligerently yelled at by a state patrol officer for attempting to do this...and written a ticket for dare trying to explain myself. so, headed south on i5 from highway 18 through the fife corridor (gently caress fife) headed to tacoma i usually just cruise the right lane during rush hour. it tends to move at a steadier pace than the usual stop and go through this whole area. the lane ends about 4 miles after the highway 18 -> i5 interchange. i'm coming up toward the merge point and see a good spot to merge in, probably 300 yards or so before the lane actually ends, turn on my signal and as i'm about to merge the douchebag behind me to the left decides his ego can't handle someone getting in front of him and speeds up to pace me long enough to flip me off while yelling some poo poo at me. the lane is coming pretty close to ending so i slow down enough to get in the gap behind him. as soon as i get behind him the fucker brake checks me in the pouring rain. we're only going about 35 and i wasn't right on his rear end so i had no problem stopping...unfortunately right past the merge point in the break-down lane to the right was a state trooper. as soon as we get past he lights us up. for 30 seconds or so i was genuinely excited and thought that he had seen what the douche in the ford SUV did and was going to nail him for it.......lol aggro state patrol dude (ASPD): care to explain what the HELL you were doing back there? ME: i was attempting to merge and the guy behind me sped up, wouldn't let me over and then brake che..../ ASPD: there are signs THREE MILES BACK TELLING YOU THE LANE ENDS. (it's actually 1.25 miles.) ME: well sir, i've always been taught that the proper way to merge is to zipper in with traffic at the merg.../ ASPD: NO...the PROPER way to MERGE is PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE LANE ENDING. ME: i was prepared..i had plenty of room to safely merge and the guy to my lef.../ ASPD: APPARENTLY A VERBAL WARNING ISN'T ENOUGH FOR YOU...LICENSE AND REGISTRATION PLEASE. ME: officer...i'm just trying to explain that what i did wasn't dangerous...that guy brake checked..../ ASPD: YOU CAN EXPLAIN IT TO THE JUDGE. LICENSE AND REGISTRATION PLEASE. I WILL NOT ASK AGAIN. so i hand it all over and my mind was just like...reeling at how this dude was acting. seriously wouldn't let me get a word out, wouldn't even acknowledge the fact that the dude who sped around me was the one driving like a dangerous rear end in a top hat. i really hadn't broken any laws, spoke to him slowly and calmly the whole time. didn't do anything wrong in the situation. nothing. *ASPD comes back to hand me my poo poo* ME: officer, can i please have a second to explain what happened without being interrupted? ASPD: you already told me what happened. you didn't feel like merging when you should have and decided you could just go around everyone else.
