Disgruntled Bovine posted:And people wonder why Brightline has the highest rate of crossing accidents of any passenger train line in the US. It's because Florida man is a loving idiot. You're aware that most of the people that live in Florida aren't from Florida right? That person is probably from somewhere in the north east I'd put money on it.

MODS??!??!!! I'm being doxxed. I've only seen someone almost buy the farm once at a train crossing. It blew my mind how close it was. Is it a depth perception/unable to gauge the speed thing? Or of course stupidity.

We went on a field trip in elementary school and the charter bus driver ended up getting impatient waiting for a traffic jam and ended up misjudging the length of his bus and getting it trapped under the wigwag arms at a level crossing. Luckily, he got the front end right, so the train went past with like a few inches to spare in front of the bus. Everyone was pretty pissed.

Olympic Mathlete posted:That legit looks deliberate, there's no way whoever was driving that waited until the train was on them until putting their foot down. Crazy. Never mind that if they had just stayed there they would have been fine, since the train was on the far track. did they even look, or just panic? of course they just panicked um excuse me posted:There's a little Florida Man in all of us. YOU TAKE THAT BACK! Besides, I'd bet Southern Boy puts Florida Man to shame, he just doesn't make the news as often due to the lack of Florida's open police records elsewhere.

A buddy of mine and I got done fixing his truck downtown and decided to wander over to Amalie Arena where people were lining up for a hockey game (Lightning vs. ?). My bud couldn't resist going up to some lady with the visiting team's jersey on and saying, "Welcome to Tampa. I got something for you!", reaching in his pocket and handing her a few greasy bolts we'd pulled off the vehicle. She told him to, "Go gently caress yourself, fatass!", and threw them back. We walked away howling with laughter. Good times.

Oh god, wish I had a dashcam. Waiting at the lights to cross a 4 lane highway. My road (2 lane road) that crosses the highway has a railway crossing opposite me. As I'm at the lights, I see a large B-train grain tractor/trailer unit coming towards me on the opposite side approaching the intersection. The train crossing is about 30' in front of the intersection, so there is enough room for 2 regular vehicles, maybe room for a semi with no trailers but that's it. As he creeps towards the intersection and about 20-30' from the tracks, a train engine starts slowly moving (they're just spotting cars) and is only about 50' from the crossing. The lights start to flash. Train horn blasts. I see the driver looking left/right, the train would be filling up the entirety of his left side view. Fucker decides to go for it. Oh boy, I'm thinking, this is going to be interesting. He's committed. Lights are flashing but arms haven't started down. Until now. Cab makes it unscathed but the first trailer (he has 2) catches the arm. Now he has to wait stop at the road intersection and wait for a gap in traffic for so this road equivalent of the USS Nimitz can make his right turn, so he stops. Meanwhile, the engine has stopped about 15' from his truck. Gap in traffic and truck starts to go. Arm get wedged, snaps, sort of thrown up, bounces off second trailer, ends up in a heap on the crossing. At this point I'm looking for any company marks on the truck but it's just solid white with no logos (farm truck of some sort, likely a hutterite) and fucker just keeps driving eastbound on the highway. Dude pops out of the engine shaking his head, picks up the remnants of the arm (which is still wired up and flashing) and tosses it to the side of the crossing off the tracks/road. Saw some people on the highway go right up to the back of the trailer and cab so hopefully dumb gently caress got reported, but jesus  I know the train will have a dash cam recording out the front so hopefully they had good enough detail to identify it. Idiots like that need to lose their license.

Funny, I would expect it to be an oldsmobile 88. Also I would expect the timeframe of someone covering their face from the inevitable dashcam and taking a tire iron to the car at single digits days.

Had a dream last night that I came across a hummer that was converted into a Ferrari, or at least looked like it. It had that H1 giant rear end and somehow transitioned into the 80s style low pointy polygonal Ferrari front. I got to drive it for a second and it had a lot of power, but when I pulled into the spot at the parking lot it's brakes were kinda weak for the extra mass I guess and I didn't realize I had to really step on them, so it *bonked* gently into the guardrail in front of the spot It was yellow
