If this was in North America, the hauling company would be in get-sued-to-insolvency level of trouble, if not least for not having a proper chase truck.

Oh, yeah, one of those trucks that has the big flashing sign going "DON'T GO INTO THIS LANE" or whatever? that would solve that issue pretty well. thanks for the explanation!

There's actually a ton of examples of transport/escort companies completely dropping the ball. And bridge. And embankment. And overpass. And surrounding infrastructure.

Something that overloaded in the US would require escort vehicles, a mapped route approved by the state DOT, and probably a couple of utility trucks to move wires where necessary. They also generally stick to daylight operations.

What if I told you I know a guy who can get it done for 30% of that cost, (cash only) between 1am and 5 am, but you can't ask too many questions?

honest question as someone who doesn't drive: who's considered to be at fault here? is the car supposed to know to stay away? or is the driver responsible for making sure there's no one in their turning radius?

I've seen some trucks with "THIS TRUCK MAKES WIDE TURNS STAY BACK" cards on them, but I don't see one there

if you're parked at a light and and ultra long loaded truck with zero blocking vehicles goes through the intersection and fucks your car up and you're just parked the whole time, it's definitely god's fault.

My understanding is that the precast elements in the parking garage of my city's largest art museum were so specialized in design (art museum) that they required illegal trucking under the conditions you suggest to make it from precaster to site without compromising the artist's vision.

People who don't know anything about tools (who bought this so they'd be totally prepared for anything) wielding it from both handles like a Bat'leth.

going by two youtube reviews of that omniblade, there's 5 tools in-one.

1)Machete Kukri, axe, saw, hammer (back of the axe), and a knife. because a Machete is just a big knife it contains smaller knifes.

Doesn't that happen fairly regularly with the Royal Guard? They pass out from heat exhaustion during changing ceremonies and stuff; I think it's even happened here in Canada a bunch.



Great that all that pomp and circumstance is more important than tending to someone with heatstroke.

It’s really more like a mek’leth, IMO.



EDIT: Well, except for the second handle. A bat’leth/mek’leth hybrid. This is appropriation of Klingon culture.

That shitass blade is almost certainly just a piece of laser cut steel that's 3mm thick and has been poorly ground by a bunch of Indonesian slave children in a sweatshop so it has no tempering on it at all. That would explain why it keeps chipping on cutting wood.

Iirc he tried it for himself with a child size dummy, realized the car doesn’t detect it and that probably running over a real child is a bad idea, then said something about continuing to test this further before pretending the whole thing never happened

Nah, he did some much slower tests in open space where the kid was just standing there instead of jumping in front of the path of the car, and it detected the kid most of the time. So he declared the other video tests faked.
