In his mind at least he looked cool for Tik Tok in the 2.2 seconds before he lost control, that's what matters

Cop running without lights and sirens (because turning them on activates the dashcam) runs a red light while going 78mph in a 30mph zone and kills a completely innocent person. https://www.timesunion.com/state/article/high-speed-crash-troy-police-18294831.php

wow, elite body work right there, can barely tell it was modifiedOBAMNA PHONE posted:https://www.reddit.com/r/ThisIsButter/comments/15c4muh/dallas_pd_bodycam_shows_an_officer_shoot_wound_a/ The second is get a helicopter on it and immediately break off pursuit, grab the idiot once he thinks he's safe and goes to hide somewhere for a while. He's only running because he knows you're chasing him. Probably caused a million dollars in damages there by pursuing this fucker. They basically did the worst possible thing, drag it out and let him continue his dangerous behavior as long as possible.

they have already created a system for cop cars that will shoot a gps tracker onto a car they are pursuing and then they don't have to continue the chase

 ->  ->  ->  It felt like a decent shunt but all i got was some paint transfer. (the bump strip has been bent forever)    It was a pretty rapid cycle of emotions. From "oh poo poo, someone just hit my lincoln" to "wait, there's no damage, not a big deal" to "oh poo poo, that guy got punted into me." 5mph bumpers work, kids.

Probably some confirmation bias at play, but literally every accident I've come across for the past couple years has had a Ram involved, typically the instigator.

You're right to think that. I do too. It may or may not be true but... yesterday I decided not to get in front of one that had mismatched wheels and NO RF FENDER. Seemed wild to me.

Literally Lewis Hamilton posted:How many Ford Contours are still on the road? They’re just about 25 years old now for the newest ones That Article posted:There are a few other oddities as well. A few of the cars have been out of production for over two decades, and several manufacturers had multiple vehicles on the list. There's no clear reason why that is, but Insurify is just here to present the numbers. and it's not percentage of cars in drunk driving accidents, it's percentage of drivers of said car who've been in a DD accident. ford contour afficionados are just apparently booze hounds too

Motronic posted:"These Are The Cars Most Commonly Owned By People With DUIs" The funniest part of this is it's just 2500 owners, like apparently 1500 and 3500 owners are better or something. Also, if you combine the Silverado and Sierra, you get 6.03%, handily beating out the Dodge 2500. I wonder what the Dodge RAM 1500+2500+3500 stats would look like? Who is the true king of road sodas?

That's not how stats work, it's the percentage of drivers of this particular model are drunk drivers, not the overall percentage of all drunk drivers own this particular model. I'd still be 3%

I once saw an article that went something like this: Top 10 BMWs not to buy! 10... 9... 8 - BMW 3 Series Coupe (2008-2011) The BMW 3 Series Coupe (2008-2011) has issues with rod bearings in its S65 V8 engine 7... 6... 5... 4 - BMW E92 M3 - The BMW E92 M3 has the potential for expensive engine problems 3... 2... 1...

Do obnoxious street signs count, however tenuously? Some loving dentist near me has a massive LED sign that's on 24/7 and is mostly white. It's fine during the day but that fucker absolutely kills what little night sight I have. If I ever end up hitting a pedestrian it'll be some poor homeless dude I can't see because this thing isn't high beams bright, but it's drat close.

There's one I pass that flickers red/blue to catch your eye just before switching to the next slide in rotation, they absolutely know what they're doing. If your city or county has any balls they would have some regulations to enforce on the allowable brightness of road signs. If not, some regulations should be proposed at the next board meeting, voted on, enacted, and then fines imposed. Alternate is going  to the pedestal for everybody else's benefit.

If I ever end up hitting a pedestrian it'll be some poor homeless dude I can't see because this thing isn't high beams bright, but it's drat close. I wrote a whole bunch about these but the app deleted it. Instead I'll just leave you with the old Bill Hicks routine: "if any of you are in advertising or marketing, kill yourself..." That these advertisements are often so bright and installed in the middle of pavements to show ads to people who should be paying attention whilst driving is some of the most disgusting poo poo ever. There's people that go around throwing paint on them and these people are the best.

Big signs like those are generally governed and overlook by zoning, usually as part of the approval process for the site if it’s on the same lot as the business. Otherwise the zoning code or city ordinances will dictate height and brightness limits, if any.

Yeah, when I'm saying whoever own the road I'm making the assumption that this is already municipally allowed, mostly because I've run into that situation before. If it's on a state road you have a much bigger bat that will be aimed at your municipality for allowing something dangerous along "their" road.

There's a hitch store that just constantly flashes red and blue here and it always catches me off guard.  The whole sign is LEDs https://i.imgur.com/WtlSntw.mp4 On that subject though, I'm quite bothered by the most psychotic drivers in the city who feel like they can run red lights and go at whatever speed they want now driving Tahoes and F-150s everywhere. Cops should get priuses and smart cars.

Wasabi the J posted:Criminal somewhere. Whoever signed off on those brakes has blood on their hands. Starts with the driver who likely didn't pre-trip properly if at all. Can't wait to see how the tractor nor either trailer had any spring brakes. It's literally impossible to miss this three times if you're doing the things you're supposed to be doing before driving a commercial vehicle.
