Man, more cities need to do this. Letting people figure out how to work that bike rack on the front of buses when not under the collective stares of the entire vehicle would be great.

Cars are actually building seeking missiles

I live in Louisville and there's a bar here that for some inexplicable reason over the last few years had had vehicles plow into its front entrance multiple times. It's in a fairly quiet residential neighborhood and the intersection it's on isn't that busy, somehow it just attracts lovely drivers. Regulars don't sit by the front any more, but no one has gotten hurt, luckily.

the first time I tried to get my bike on one of those things was probably in the top five most traumatizing social experiences of my life

ok but if you look at the street view




the building was along the edge of the road, possibly obscured behind a truck. then if truck started to drive through the building was still there. the driver saw the truck start to move and took its turn, planning its move so that it would pass behind the rear of the truck. as the truck accelerated, it moved past the building which was still along the road. the driver spotted the building at this point and braked hard but it was moving too fast and it hit the building.

drivers do the exact same thing all the time. it's a dangerous situation for buildings and you have to be extremely careful not to get into it. countless times on my drives there are places where i know the building is invisible to drivers. you just have to be cautious.

the first time I used one of those I thought I was being a Cool Helpful Person by using the position closest to the bus so as to allow the next person. the ability to load their bike without having to crawl around mine first.

then the driver honked at me and yelled at me to put it in the furthest-out position because it makes it easier for them to know how long their bus is with the rack out.

quote:


MCCANDLESS, Pa. — Charges have been filed in the deadly hit-and-run crash that killed Donald Leach, 78, in March 2023.

Leach was crossing McKnight Road at the intersection of Blazier Drive in McCandless when he was struck.

Karl Scott, 36, of Gibsonia is charged with accidents involving death or personal injury, a felony.

According to a criminal complaint, he told police he “believed it was a deer that he struck and continued to proceed home.”

Scott was interviewed in the immediate aftermath of the crash.

It’s unclear why it took 11 months to file charges.

Scott is due in court next week.

As clear a case of vehicular homicide as you can find and it took nearly a year to file charges.

Believing he hit a deer is a complete lie, if you think you hit a deer you stop and get out and see how hosed up your car is.

He absolutely knew he hit a person a fled, good luck proving that though.
