Background: drunk driver on a road closed for the Armed Forces Skyway 10K Race. It's held on the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.

This the size of the crowd she was speeding towards, and the reason the trooper intentionally got into a head on collision with her.

That seems more like a bitter laugh than a not acknowledging the severity of the situation laugh but it also seems like the kind of thing that would be said by someone who feels like this is something happening to her rather than something she did.

It's amazing how no matter how many times you hear stuff like keep your arms down and don't brace, you just can't help it. At first her arms were in her lap where they should be, but at the very last second she put her arms up at 10 and 2 and stiffened them. I'd probably do the same thing, but it's really interesting to see it in action.

I would bet a lot of the time they don't wear them because the lap belt portion probably is super uncomfortable with the crap they have on their belt. Which is a stupid reason, but people can be stupid. Evidence: this thread.

The crash also illustrates why you should limit the amount of random crap inside the interior of your car. It all becomes a missile in the case of a crash.

I know this is a joke, but Turo actually does it right. The renter has an insurance policy FROM TURO that covers that car. That's part of the service. So this is a legit service, not just a platform to skim money off of your transaction.

Police sought the public's help Monday to identify a hit-and-run Tesla driver who crashed while attempting a stunt on an extremely steep Los Angeles street while spectators recorded videos.

The department said the Tesla was abandoned at the scene and there was no description of the driver.

“A misdemeanor hit-and-run (investigation) was completed, and detectives will be following up with the renter,” the police statement said.

I was joking about the Turo thing but holy lol

I do that and it's also why I don't trust cross traffic sensors. Every time I back in my garage they alert me that my garbage cans are about to t-bone me.

It probably detects them as pedestrians :)

I hate a lot of these assists, but rear cross-traffic is super useful if I'm in a busy parking lot between big-rear end vehicles in my small hatchback. It simply sees more than I am able to.

I should probably get back in the habit of either backing in or pulling through where both spots are clear, I used to work in a parking lot where the spots were absurdly small and I wasn't even going to try backing in with a compact hatchback since parked perfectly I had just enough room to get out on my side and no room on the passenger side.

Really the worst was when I had a job that required me to go to wal-marts constantly in a windowless cargo van. I had a backup sensor to make sure I wasn't backing directly into an unaccompanied child but aside from that it was just stop and start creeping out hoping people would realize I can't see a drat thing.

This is why I back into every parking spot. My son who just got his permit is also doing this everywhere we go. It’s drat near impossible to see around all these goddamn giant trucks and SUV’s if we were to back out in our tiny-for-the-modern-era cars.

No need for rear detection stuff if you park it like that. Win-win

I don’t mind the rear collision detection but I wish I could like, turn it off locationally because my garage is quite small and my car screams bloody murder every morning when I’m trying to back out. My poor neighbors.
