Is it a concidence that two of the stupidest kids I knew growing up are both reposting this poo poo on my Facebook?

One went to law enforcement academy and failed to make it into the Winnipeg Police Service and now works for a beer company or some poo poo. Reposts these videos with comments like "beat all anti-fa" or "muder the left"

The other has a major drinking problem and she became a paramedic, later actually made it into the WPS and makes "thin blue line" poo poo all the time like she sames something in common with the cops who shoot black people in the states or some poo poo

What I'm saying is throw piss at every neo-nazi everyday

There was a judge that threw out a ticket because the courts were taking too long in Manitoba, but Vic Towes(lol) threw the case out

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/court-delay-decision-manitoba-1.4013802

But more recently another judge threw out a ticket citing delays again

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-judge-throws-out-2nd-traffic-ticket-citing-backlog-1.3598233

Could probably end up in the Manitoba Supreme Court I guess? It takes like 3 years to get a court date in Winnipeg

One thing that continually surprises me is how few collisions we have on a daily basis.

Almost every person in a major city North American city operating something the size and speed of an automobile on a daily basis. Ripping the machine at 100+ km/h beside a line of oncoming traffic doing the same maybe a meter away. Each and every one of them a twitch of the hands to the left resulting in death.

Pretty good testament to the versatility and flexibility of human beings. Cool poo poo.

But still, we gotta let the robots drive once they are good enough. It would be both speedier and have way less deaths. It's a lot longer off than the Elon Musk's say, but there's no reason we can't get there eventually.

Of all the virtues one could extol on traffic laws, "smooth traffic" is absolutely not one of them. Our primate brains are too dumb to accelerate/brake simultaneously, we need to account for reaction time, so one person suddenly braking on the highway can effectively end up causing a minor traffic jam as everyone behind needs to brake and then accelerate. The only thing that will make traffic flow nicely is removing the primate brain part of the equation altogether.

Removing the primate brain from the equation is probably the only way a lot of social problems could be solved tbh

Zipper merge at the end of the lane, do not change early, that's exactly what part of the problem is.

For the most part it's worked but at least half the time, some loving rear end in a top hat on a time trial in his mind will blow right through the crosswalk. Cyclists are loving idiots because vancouverites are loving idiots.

This isn't just limited to Vancouver. About once a week, I nearly get hit by some idiot who thinks it's acceptable to ride on the sidewalk, in a crosswalk, or blow through a red light (and sometimes a no-right-on-red sign) through a crosswalk at speed. Hint: if the name of the place where you are riding ends in "walk," then walk your loving bike.

Look, these guys probably have their own reasons for doing that. Heeding pedestrians is not suitable for commuting. Suck it up, buttercup.

THIS. It's not wrong to merge at the end of the lane! It's wrong/inefficient to merge early. Use the whole road and use all available lanes and then everyone will be able to nicely take turns because you're all merging in the same spot instead of this weird hodgepodge of passive-aggressive driving.

Also, for fucks sake, leave a good distance between you and the car ahead of you! The whole "one person brakes unexpectedly and that causes the whole lane to slow down" poo poo only happens because everyone is right on each other's asses.

One more. I'm guilty often of this one myself, but change lanes less. Changing back and forth to try to always be in the fastest lane barely helps you, occasionally backfires, and always leads to people behind you having to brake and thus creates worse traffic.

The one that gets me is the car doing 10-15 under the speed limit on a highway, and then 10 over the speed limit the instant a passing lane appears, then right back to the previous speed as soon as it ends. Let us pass you.
