"He should have slowed down before getting on that grade if his truck wasn't capable of stopping there."

"If he was hauling fuel that's all the more reason to avoid wrecking 8 other cars, all of whom can catch fire as a result, and risk dozens of lives in the process."

The driver probably stopped just before the barrier would be out of his sight, so that he could still see it when it goes down. However, if you watch the video closely, the BMW moves about two feet forward in the time the barrier is down, before it comes back up. two feet is easily enough to put the barrier in his…

"Until you've been to Tazer training multiple times and been zapped during said training like I have, and are required to know which part of the use of force policy applies in each second of any given incident, please don't try to tell me when it's appropriate to use it or not."

You want to taze someone, causing muscle contractions, while they have their foot near the gas pedal? Not to mention that, unlike when a person is standing or lying on the ground, could cause additional unpredictable injury when used while a person is in a confined space? I'm open to corrections on these points by…

An RC hobby aircraft is not colloquially called a drone or a UAV. In fact if you search the page you quoted (and didn't link to), you'll find that RC hobby aircraft aren't mentioned anywhere, and certainly not in a large section devoted to their long history.

How do you feel about being lumped in with the rest of the media hysteria over the "new drone problem" ?

Looks like a remote controls aircraft, not a drone. There are UAVs that size (and are quadcopters) that have a bit of autonomy, but most of them are radio controlled just like any RC plane of the last 20 years. Example:

I'm curious why the Z4 made the list and not the M3?

I think your mistaken premise is that Bungie has shown their hand. I believe Bungie hasn't come close. But while I have faith they have a lot more to reveal, you may believe the game will be more of the same. Neither of us will know until the game is released.

Oh come on. You could have said "I'm done with this conversation" (or not replied at all), which I think is what you really mean, but instead you tried to tell me what to do...over the internet... as a stranger that admits to not listening to what I have to say... since when has THAT ever worked?

*sigh*. Responding to someone when you claim to have not read what they wrote AND back it up by saying nonsensical things that bear no resemblance to what I wrote, does make you look sorta silly. This "real man" is just fine when someone else offers to drive and they have better gas mileage, more comfort, more hauling…

HAHAHA trust me?? I'm a grown man, and I own 2 cars to drive myself. I don't need to drive my friends car, and I don't hang out with people who are too irresponsible to handle their own.

Looking in ones mirrors *is* the basic act of driving. To compare looking at your surroundings (those things that could hit you, or you could hit) is var different than looking at the dash while you are driving. If your nose is stuck looking at your indicators while driving you are doing something wrong. In fact the…

I've also noticed that when the fuel guage is either left or right of the center of the instrument panel, it is typically on the same side as the fill door.

How is it possible that people need to be told this? What did you think the little arrow was for? Unbelievable.

or don't forget. You're making time to learn this, so learn to walk around your car. You should have to anyways to mark any previous damage to the vehicle before signing the documents.

"Wait, this wasn't common knowledge? What else did you think the arrow was for?"

I suppose that could be what he's thinking, though he says nothing about liking or disliking the design or look of the car :)

Okay, I can follow that logic for the Prius. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on those statements since I don't know or care much about the Prius :)
I'm still not sure how this applies to the car at hand, and specifically how choosing 19" caused the OP to desire the author of the pedestrian impact standards…
