I swear he was signaling to the train with the green flag, as if the train could possibly stop if he decided to wave the red flag instead... but the truck saw the green and went for it.

He should have had two red flags to wave at road vehicles with extra emphasis.

Here in San Francisco I once saw a guy in a Tesla double parked on a Muni track with his flashers on. A streetcar came up behind him and he stuck his arm out the window and did the "go around" gesture. :dumb:

Did you know that streetcars have horns? And that they are really, really loud?

I was driving to a doctors appointment this morning when I hit some black ice on a bridge. I was doing 55 and lost it on the bridge. Thankfully no other cars around and I didn't hit the retaining wall, was close.

Thankfully I'm fine and my truck seems okay. The tires on the right hand side had some mud and grass between the tire and rim, but still held air. I did change the front as it looked sketchy and limped to Big-O where they got the tires squared away, under warranty even.

Here's a clip from the dashcam.

Glad you're OK! That was fuckin close. It looks like the left lane was significantly less iced, you can kind of see it at the start. Was surprised that lovely beater made it across so I had to go back and look. Seems like you were just starting to get some of that grip up front but the rear end was already on its way around by then

Their natural state is either crashing, or throwing rotor bits everywhere. They will do whatever is necessary to return to their natural state.

We really need to normalize having videos posted of thrill-seekers going splat (or rather, post/talk about new articles discussing them go splat) more often. The bias of only seeing them pull of stunts perfectly really diminishes how dangerous and stupid what they're doing is, imo.

Everybody knows that skateboarders fall and bang themselves up a lot. I suspect many don't think the same trial & error applies to parkouring across building tops?

I have noticed a thing where basically every video showing wing-suit related stunts on YouTube has a comments section that entirely consists of things like, "RIP - a true legend in the sport"
