They thought they could calmly move hand over hand all the way, forgetting what would happen the second they lost control of their speed.

Ak Gara posted:I see this type of reaction lots of times. Mostly with deer, is it safer to just say fuckit and plow into them? (while applying the brakes of course) When it's another vehicle or a pedestrian the overall math changes. It's still generally safer for you and those in your vehicle to not swerve, but obviously most of us would rather risk ourselves a bit more to avoid being involved in someone else's death, even if that death would be their own dumb rear end fault That said, I really hope that idiot was stopped in one way or another and screamed at until the cops arrived to write them every possible ticket that might apply. Beyond the obvious dumbassery of what they were doing in the first place it's quite clear they were in no rush to get up to speed wither. If you're pulling on to a highway from a stop for whatever reason the go pedal needs to be on the floor until you reach an appropriate speed.

At night I've switched the lights off and laid on the horn and the brakes at a pack of deer in the road... but that requires like, exactly the right set of conditions for it to be a good idea. As in, coming around the corner and a bunch of deer are within the braking zone? Lights off, horn up, pray they scatter.

So what's the intended purpose of that rope in the first place? How do you safely use it? I assume there's some sort of kit which is better than just a carabiner which would control your descent.

hemale in pain posted:So what's the intended purpose of that rope in the first place? How do you safely use it? I'm guessing it's a zipline and there are things you can use to ride a zipline that consists of a couple pulleys and I assume a brake. This seems like some dipshit who made a home made contraption and thought he could just lower himself down the rope by hand. After sliding down with just that clip, I'm guessing he totally fuckered that rope forever.

Get out to the middle point then drop, which is why there's a knot of abandoned ropes and tackle there to stop him.

wolrah posted:Both my driver's ed instructor and my insurance agent said at least with deer to just hit the brakes and hope they jump out of the way. Cars are best at taking collisions from the front, where if you attempt to swerve around the thing you risk losing control of the vehicle which could lead to a worse crash if you flip over, end up in oncoming traffic, etc. Also because deer are fast and stupid it's not unheard of for them to jump right in to the path of the swerving vehicle at the last second so you end up hitting them anyways. In the end cars can always be fixed or replaced, so if you're going to crash you always want the vehicle taking as much of the hit as possible. on a 4 lane road with a nice shallow ditch, the calculus is a bit different, but on the kind of normal 2 lane roads where we drive almost entirely around here, swerving has the potential to suddenly turn smacking square into a deer into a head on collision with oncoming traffic it also has the potential to cause a glancing collision with the deer, which could cause you to go sideways into oncoming traffic as well as for going into the ditch, plenty of ditches here also might look like a stable gradient from the road only to have a cement culvert come up quick. and that isn't even considering the danger of rolling i was taught to brake as hard as possible without hydroplaning or skidding on ice and to strike the deer as square as possible if they don't move. swerving or going into the ditch is basically gambling that you can get away with zero damage but at a greatly increased risk of much worse damage

hosed up that you gotta make the distinction, but doesn't hitting a deer fall under "collision" insurance while swerving into a ditch "comprehensive"?

Uthor posted:hosed up that you gotta make the distinction, but doesn't hitting a deer fall under "collision" insurance while swerving into a ditch "comprehensive"? Other way around; damage from hitting an animal is typically "other than collision" aka "comprehensive" - along with vandalism, theft, damage from falling objects, and other factors not typically in the driver's control. Rolling your car or hitting an obstacle like a tree or ditch is considered a collision.

Is it then that it's "worse" to have a collision versus a comprehensive claim? Tldr, I thought it was advantageous to hit the deer from an insurance perspective.

My grandfather hit a deer when I was a kid and apparently his insurance agent told him that yes, if you hit the deer it counts as something unavoidable and out of your control, but if you swerve to miss it and drive into a tree in the process then that was your fault.

You have moose in the states too, what is the driver/insurance recommendation for colliding with that? Because 500 kilos of meat and bone perfectly placed for landning in your windshield is almost never preferable to swerving.

Then you would want a car that can pass the "Moose Test" Although from the article: quote:Research showed that even though its name refers to moose, it looks like the test actually simulates avoiding a reversing car or a child running on the street rather than encountering a moose. This is because when a moose suddenly shows up on the road it is more advisable to brake and try to get through behind the animal, since it’s most likely the animal will continue crossing the road and will not stop or turn around.
