e: in the gif you can see the cars dip too!

Thanks for adding those map links - watching the video, I thought “oh hey, that looks like the curve on SB I-5 before the exit for SeaTac” but I was immediately chiding myself for confirmation bias’ing everywhere to be where I am and there’s a like 50k miles of interstate out there, stop it.

Vindication.

(I've stopped giving people the benefit of the doubt on the internet. The "wobbling the aim all over sideways" is usually when people try to keep their eyes on the road and the phone simultaneously. I withdraw my objection.)

Wobble also seems be extra pronounced because they're zoomed in too

I've seen this bumper thing on a mini as well, wonder if it's common on vehicles that have been repaired at some point

This fucker took out my favourite happy hour patio this morning! Also managed to hit a pedestrian, apparently. I think given he’s mounted the sidewalk on the wrong side of the road, he might have been going a bit over the posted 40 km/h limit…

I think there’s really something to be said for Cuba’s policy of treating collisions causing injury and damage as criminal offenses by default.

Five degrees to starboard!

Someone in a truck with an impenetrable British accent was following a car that was making a terrible noise. They passed and stopped the car. The car's front tires were essentially gone, and the front end was badly damaged. The car's stereo was blaring bagpipe music at eardrum-rupturing levels. The driver of the truck snatched the keys from the driver of the car. It was implied the driver of the car had crashed into a van back in town, and had been drinking.

I was like "how the gently caress did they hit the telephone pole yet end up there" until I zoomed in and saw that they caught the wires on the box and pulled so hard they snapped the pole.

Holy gently caress :psyduck:

Wires aren't strong enough to snap the pole, but they are strong enough to support it once it has been snapped

Truck hits pole, breaking it near base - tension of the wires supports the upper unbroken piece

Edit: Well the one on the ground looks pretty rotten, maybe it was just a really bad sistering job?

Apparently a bunch of people, including professionals, people who are paid to drive, decided to drive through Donner Pass at the same time a blizzard was forecast to drop 10 feet of snow.

Wonder if they will receive overtime pay. Also wonder if they had a choice. If the dispatch tells the Walmart trucker to join the Donner party how much autonomy do they have to go another route and be late at the destination.

they will be penalized for using extra gas and also being late, even if they lose less time and fuel than getting stuck would have been

that's why it was nice having a human being as a dispatcher. when 80 got closed, she told us just to go south and enjoy our extra miles. she didn't last there long.
