How about if we compromise and just say that they should have had her shot by a firing squad?

Like I literally don't understand how she could get such a mild punishment for simultaneously passing a school bus that I assume had its lights on/stop sign out and driving on the sidewalk both of which should be totally inexcusable on their own.

If you're someone who would even consider doing that, you should at the least never be allowed to drive a car ever again.

If she ran over some kid after that would the kid's parents be like "oh yeah sure she passed a school bus on the sidewalk but she had to hold a sign so nobody could have expected this; poo poo just happens"?

The sign thing is an usual way to try to shame someone but it's basically saying "we're not allowed to actually punish you for this for real because anything goes when you're driving a car in america so I guess we'll just try to embarrass you slightly"

i imagine if she had hit someone the punishment would be more severe but generally speaking courts punish people for what they did and not what they might have done hypothetically

personally i'm shocked she didn't eat a bigger fine, i thought you were supposed to get fat loving fines for speeding in construction areas or passing schoolbuses/fire engines and poo poo

What bikeway? This looks like a road divider. Feel like I'm missing something here.

edit: is it the white car on the far side of the road sitting in a bikeway? Help me out here please.

yes, you can tell it's the bikeway because someone's parked their car in the middle of it

The bike way is on the side closest to the camera

It has collected the wing mirror and bumper of a car that couldn't take the turn

Here is the context that just makes them both look even dumber. If another driver tries to run you off the road, you don't have to continue road battling them forever like this. Your car is capable of slowing down, stopping, and even turning onto other roads.

This convoy poo poo is going to get copycatted in the US and there will be deaths. If nothing else, the use of a vehicle as a weapon merits a reasonably proportionate response.

Vehicular homicide is already legal as long as you aren't drunk and stay at the scene. They just have to say "the sun was in my eyes " or"they came out of nowhere " or"i mixed up the gas and the brake ".

just had a giant SUV tailgate me in a garage (posted speed 5mph) and then peel around me,on a ramp, blowing through marked crosswalk where a family was waiting to get to the elevators.

car brain sucks and our laws encourage it. if this moron had run over that family at most they could claim it was in their blind spot or something dumb and (especially if they’re white) just get a point on their license or something.

I wish it were somehow possible to make it mandatory for anybody trying to get a drivers license to commute by bike for a few months first, so they can experience what it's like being on the receiving end of carbrain before they get to be on the giving end.

I feel like in European cities with huge cycling numbers this is probably a positive flow-on effect, if you and everyone you know cycles all over the place all the time you're going to behave a lot differently when you get behind the wheel of a car. There's probably a snowball type effect there where the more people who cycle, the more drivers who know what it's like and the less agro there is on the road which encourages more cycling.

Yeah, absolutely. The biggest problem is that most Americans don't ever ride bikes so people who ride bikes are just weird dumb people who are getting in the way if normal people

Actually even if the do ride a bike occasionally they probably only do it recreationally on paths so people riding around normal places for transportation are still weird other people.

That's totally different even from a situation where most people drive most of the time but still use bikes for short local trips.
