I’ve been involved in two car crashes. One was when somebody backed into my parked car. The other was when somebody rear-ended me at five miles per hour in stop-and-go freeway traffic. I have no idea why you think that I am trying to be a moral or legal authority, or how personal experience affects objective facts. Do…

Guilty until proven innocent? Sounds terrible.

Is that meant to be a one-sentence summation of the article?

We all really need to get over the “underwater” thing. It’s a car. You agreed to pay $x over y months to pay it off. Who cares if it’s “worth less than you owe on it?” You agreed to pay for it, and as long as you can make the payments it’s irrelevant.

Studies show that 90% of cyclists need a sense of humor.

The slippery slope argument is a logical fallacy, which is perhaps why it’s being ignored.

Interesting perspective - shows why it couldn’t effectively be implemented except for the richest people.

Just don’t forget to pay your taxes. Alternatively, dress as the other Wesley Snipes.

Who cares? It’s not like any deities are real. Why show such deference to idiotic superstitions? Dress up as the Christian god for all anybody cares.

Exactly. People seem to have forgotten what humor is for. Or have defined it as, “the high-pitched voice in Jim Gaffigan’s head in his standup.”

The only proper response to this article.

It’s not like Life of Brian was particularly makeable in 1979, either... it got banned from how many countries?

Maybe true, but I don’t want to live in a world of constant video surveillance and I don’t want to contribute to it. Bigger issue than maybe getting screwed over in a 1 in a million chance where something nuts happens.

The issue isn’t who hit whom, it’s who was , in the words of the FIA, “causing a collision.” The leading car in a rear-ending can very much be the one who caused the collision.

What I wonder is, for reliability, would it be cheaper to just place a bunch of redundant new chips into a system rather than dealing with the highly-reliable but out-of-date ones?

But bad drivers are the least likely to pay attention to these idiotic devices!

Seriously. This site might as well be run by the Spandex Mafia these days, for all the love for traffic "calming."

FFS. Fuck off.

Carmel, Indiana - literally the birthplace of the traffic light - figured it out. And Indiana only entered the 20th century last year.

Bacterium.  A single lonely bacterium.
