WHAT HAZARD? he had his cones out to go around the vehicle - that's all thats needed

maybe don't gun it up a hill / turn in the dead of winter

Yes, we get it - those drivers were bad and dumb too. But also, if you see that many accidents happen in that short a timespan, maybe do something to help instead of smuggly pointing at how by the book you are sticking to the procedures that are failing for the current context.


Here's what the comcast guy could have done: just put some cones at the top of the crest. Additionally, when the guy came and asked him about it said "hey man, I don't know what to do, can you help - I don't want anyone to get hurt"

yeah maybe they shouldn't but people are stupid and you know that they are going to do it so you might as well put in place a cheap preventative measure for these easily predictable and avoidable accidents rather than dealing with the far more expensive and damaging fallout just to teach some idiots a lesson they aren't going to pay attention to anyway

so it's dumb to have a police car there indicating the hazard as a preventative measure but having that same police car there to ticket everyone who drives into a ditch is the correct answer?

yes because they're driving recklessly which is dangerous

oh god

he had 2 extra cones -- what else is there to do??

the only thing left is to go home

big flashy signs?

the only one beep booping here is your rear end thinking there is some other solution aside from "don't drive like a dick"

there is nothing the comcast guy could have safely done though?? he simply doesn't have any of the other equipment. nor would like a power company guy or anyone else doing a similar job.

i was reading this thing (definitely not cracked.com) where only 30 or so states issue a license that you can use on the autobhan

if your state doesn't make you do 80 on your driving test you're out

which is weird because it's not legal to drive 80 most places

I'm usually the first person to argue against tori when he starts crusading for grandma-driving, but even I agree that if you're driving so fast that you can't stop in the amount of road you can see, you're a huge gosh dang doofus

if the cars had come over the crest and hit a mattress lying in the road, would you blame the mattress?
