Maed posted:that driver probably is a cop OP, did he have his plates scratched off? all the cops in nyc do that so the speed cameras can't get them could be a cop, but afaik DC doesn't have the same scratched off cop license plate problem NY does. there's just no traffic enforcement here in general, so he could just be a normal guy who realized that laws arent real. the big thing to do here is get one of those tinted license plate covers because then youre safe from speed cameras and therefore the entirety of law enforcement on the road in the district

Love Barry's optimism that it's the wily sign causing all the ruckus. I wonder if you could bait cars by riding quickly through it on a bike. I occasionally hear suspension bottoming out and body scraping behind me when I use my superior big bike wheels to take speed bumps above what's posted.

I laughed so hard that my dog spooked. The reason this is such a "problem" "now" is because cages have gotten much larger recently so they've got less room to fuckup in, and of course it's not legal to slow down for any reason in your cage so just wing it and hope lol. Weird how the news team filming the bollards had everyone going through without incident because they weren't speeding in a neighborhood. Like you physically couldn't enter that neighborhood with a lot of American trucks and probably some cars. This is a good thing, obviously. In the US you'd have to space them out 10' but they'd still serve the purpose of preventing speeding.

Harik posted:I laughed so hard that my dog spooked. I am extremely on favor of this idea. Someone hits a bollard with thier car they immediately get punished and if they have a problem navigating the gap maybe they shouldn't be driving. I remember there used to be a street in a town nearby that was residential but extremely wide. Speed limit was low, like 15 mph. There was a gutter that went across the road at one point and if you went even that fast you were extemely likely to bottom out your car very hard. There were huge deep marks carved in the pavement from people who didn't know better and ignored the BUMP signs just slamming the bottom of thier cage into it. Unfortunately the city got enough complaints and they smoothed it out. Now you can blitz down that road as fast as you want.

Airbags generally go off with force equivalent to driving into a rigid wall at 10-16 mph, he went through those guard rails hard enough to deploy the airbags in a car not made by morons

he doesn't drive head on into anything, the barriers do their job of containing the car and it slows down gradually. head on into a brick wall at 10mph is shitloads more force. the fact that hes whining about autopilot on reddit suggests the airbags and seatbelts worked fine

Just galvanized metal with raised lettering now. Isn't there RFID in everything anyway? EZ-pass, registration sticker, plate, license, gently caress knows what the car itself transmits that's a UID.

It's interesting how on the one hand that sort of car bloodthirst seems to be greater than ever, while on the other we're seeing maybe the most anti-car sentiment there's been in decades. I don't even think the two are that linked. i.e. anti-car sentiment is more about the built environment than traffic fatalities.

Auto manufacturers are aware that younger generations won't have the money, ever, to buy their high margin vehicles, so they're focusing increasingly on their most profitable demographic - the one with brain damage from decades of huffing lead fumes.

Maybe if we're incredibly lucky more cities will more away from car-oriented design and the suburbanites who refuse to give up their lifestyle will be increasingly marginalized. Your car is good for getting around your suburban bubble but not much else. Cities have to build housing so that people can afford to live in them though or this will just make them even more into playgrounds for the rich.

The good news is, the shantytowns built by climate refugees around every major city will be far too cramped for big cars to get through the narrow twisting pathways. The bad news is, by that point the homeless will be classified as a kind of invasive species and it will be completely legal to simply smash through the encampments, and all cars will be designed to do so.

Yeah my fear is that the current urbanism/YIMBY movements will fade once climate change puts a strain on otherwise pro-social people. Car-oriented design and suburban sprawl are the results of selfish, anti-social sentiment, and that's probably only going to grow as resources and habitable places become more scarce.
