Krakkles posted:gently caress that dog owner. He was driving along a nice 4 lane US highway in southern Ohio, a road with stoplights and business entrances and lots of space. Coming from a stoplight he's got the heavy load up to a decent speed and then there's a car off of the shoulder in a nice piece of grass with two adult people and three beagle puppies running around off leash. The people grab two puppies, but the third puppy just bounces into the road as happy as can be. Well, happy for two seconds. There's traffic in the left lane, so my dad goes hard on the brakes, shouting "PUPPY PUPPY PUPPY!" The beagle stops jumping, and cowers down in the middle of the right lane. Luckily Class 8 trucks have good ground clearance, so the puppy was not hurt as he got to see the underbelly of a Freightliner Columbia. My dad came to a full and complete stop, the puppy ran out from under the truck back to his people, then my dad blew the air horn for 5 seconds while getting the truck moving again. gently caress those dog owners.

I just assume that people that walk their dog without a leash figured it was created by Tesla.

One of my neighbors lets their dog run around without a leash. Nice dog and I'm used to her now, but the first time I encountered her she tried to defend my mailbox from me. Owner apologized over and over "I'm sorry, I don't know what got into her, she has a mind of her own sometimes!" Yeah. She's a dog. By definition she has a mind of her own. That's why we have leash laws!

Aeka 2.0 posted:I'll just add myself to this list for tonight. The highway was funneled down to two lanes from 6. Well those brakes in front of me got serious real quick and I had a big rig behind me, I got on the brakes, ABS just slipping me down the road, my eyes darted at the rear view, the grill of the big rig filling my view, the impending collision up front... And loving just split the two lanes of traffic with a full size car. This is why I stopped driving the NA MX-5 except it was only a two lane road to begin with and the following vehicle was a lifted Prado with one of those ridiculous aluminium bumper/winch combos. I get why you'd want an off road vehicle like that but if you're going to commute in it at least take some extra care because it isn't going to stop very well and those modifications will make the consequences for other vehicles (or pedestrians) much more severe if you do run into them.

Whenever I come across some jackass in a parking lot with a hitch platform and ball sticking out 1.5' from their bumper I feel like taking it off and throwing it through their back window. Invariably a bro truck, generally a diesel. I've seen these idiots backing into things (generally other vehicles in the parking lot) and people smashing their shins into them. slidebite fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Jan 10, 2020 |

Remember to be careful when going round blind bends in the countryside: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUK16hxemKA He lived: quote:The 35-year-old suffered life-changing injuries after the driver, who was travelling 70mph, hit him on a country road. quote:"Thankfully, the motorcyclist was wearing a full leather, air bag suit which activated and inflated as he was propelled off his bike. Without it, in a collision at this speed, he would most likely have died.”

Glad the rider seems like the type to wear their gear. Jesus Christ, going 70mph around a blind corner. That Subaru driver isn't stupid, they're willfully malicious. Good that they got thrown in jail.

Target fixation possibly. [e] beaten  Also the reason I don't ride motorcycles anymore. Haven't ridden since the 90's and although I miss it sometimes I don't regret it at all.

 Hard to read but the signs say: “THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GOVERNMENT FUNDED IT’S ALL TAXPAYER FUNDED” and “American by Birth, Patriot by Choice” I think this guys got government figured out guys! Turns out they don’t just get money out of nowhere!

I wonder what percentage of Subarus have political bumper stickers on them. Here in the north east, probably some affirmation bias, but it's gotta be at least 50%.

Today it was me, took a uturn on a protected left and almost hit an M3 gunning head on, thought the guy was such a BMW driver for speeding up as he did his right on red instead of at least slowing. Nope! There was a no uturn sign I missed and he had the green too! Good thing I'm really paranoid about that poo poo and was able to stop pretty much at once. Haven't hosed up that bad in quite a while.

I've noticed it with political bumper stickers of all sorts. Anybody who's so sure they're right that they plaster their car with stupid bullshit probably thinks their driving is great and everyone else is wrong.

I think it’s even the special Air Force design. So, like, totally paranoid about gubmint and money, but still willing to give them money.
