Never worth it. Nah, if it's word vs word each insurance company will side with their insured and put the other party 100% at fault. In quite a few states, you can collect 50% from the other party if you're 50% at fault so no insurance company is paying that if there is no proof.

Dude whipped a U-Turn on the Trans-Canada right in front of me. Not at a lights or anything, just stopped in the middle of the road where the centerline barrier ended, and turned around. What the gently caress, people?

The trees are probably just fine with sharing, it's the landslide toppling them that's being an rear end in a top hat.

How much of a hurry could they have really been in if they stopped to chat about it? I would have expected them to either ram past her, or yell at her to move her car.

Huge traffic jam from a wreck today. Some idiot in a pickup managed to flip over without appearing to have hit anything. I guess someone could have pulled some dumb maneuver and hosed off, but due to the complete lack of rubber on the road and how hosed the grass was, I figure they were distracted and overcorrected hard when they starting drifting onto the grass.

Now that they are involved in an accident, they are obliged to see it through until it's done. Now another truck has to be dispatched from another station while this investigation is completed and the truck can be inspected, repaired, and cleared for duty. Being stupid enough to hit an emergency vehicle with flashing lights and siren not only lengthens critical emergency response times, it also costs taxpayers more money! Yay!

The fire truck wreck reminded me of this one (because I thought it was a fire truck in the wreck for most of the video) where a dude is extremely lucky to be alive. Wreck is just after 2:40 mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qicjDdBGZGA

I've been holding this story for a few days because I wasn't sure what information to leave out, but I've decided gently caress it, some things don't need to be anonymous. I'm old friends with a guy who works at a petrol station near Deakin University in south eastern Australia and he had one of their engineering postdocs come down to buy fuel for his car. Nothing unusual there, but he also wanted to know how he could get some petrol to his research car. My friend was all, "Sorry, what?" "The car is in the underground carpark at the university and, because it's a research car, isn't registered so I can't drive it on the road. But it needs fuel. How do I get some to it?" This stumped my mate for a bit because he couldn't believe that what he was hearing was what he was hearing, if you get what I mean. But he finally assured himself that, yes, this man with a PhD in engineering, working on a research car (and the future of motoring and all that poo poo) genuinely had no idea how to move petrol from one place to another. So he pointed out the petrol tin, explained what it was and showed the guy how to use it and off he went on his merry way. I've know my mate for more than thirty years and he's not one to bullshit, but I could barely believe his story. Then I remembered that the BMW i8 exists  How anyone gets to that level while being so loving clueless is just beyond me.

I thought the BMW i8 literally lacked a hood as well, but then I found the video showing that, no, it just has the world’s most retarded opening method. Superior German Engineering® Nazi procurement would be proud.

Some others knew that was nonsense, but were very nervous about the time between turning the gas on for the burner and actually lighting it. Anyone who says Big Bang Theory is nerd blackface is full of poo poo -- that show doesn't go nearly far enough.

My wife has a Ph.D and she often says it only means she is intelligent in that field, and often at a detriment to other fields. Makes sense that you spend so much time focusing on one subject that you neglect others. She enjoys saying "and I'm a doctor!" after she does something stupid or messes something up.
