Most rural carriers use their own vehicles, not post office ones. I’ve lived in rural Texas for over 35 years now, I have yet to see a postal vehicle out here. Most are Jeep Cherokees or pickups with caps.

This would have been a good opportunity for an electric fleet, even natural gas would have been better.

Your speed doesn’t matter when they run perpendicular out of the darkness (woods especially) alongside the road like that, there is no preventing a crash. I’ve been there and seen others hit them at around 40 mph. The only thing high speed does is make the spray finer.

Having lived my life in a rural area not unlike where that happened, the chances of encountering a pedestrian are extremely slim. Deer strikes are exponentially more likely. And I’d imagine he was more than able to see lights of vehicles ahead.

So it was over pretty fast?

Hit your mom like that last night. ZING!

Research and fact checking was never a strong point on gawker. Seems it still holds true under new management.

“Yet while it cut the 17-hour flight from New York to London down to seven,” You seriously stand by these numbers? In what dimension does it take 17 hours to fly from New York to London?

take as many stars as you can fit into a handicap spot

Meanwhile, across the street, the BMW folks are hopeful that they’ll be able to squeeze in a second car.

How does a second floor hold so much weight?

The driver of the van:
after dude jumps into his windshield: HOLY FUCK..
after he’s tackled off the roof: Do i just uhh.. stay here.. or .. pull over or .. what?

I wasn’t aware my seatbelt would save me if my plane burst into flames due to a collision with another jetliner

Driver could’ve done better but in terms of FAULT for if there was an accident and insurance purposes the driver entering the lane is 100% at fault. When executing a lane change it is the responsibility of the person initiating the change to make sure it can be completed safely.

You’re terrible. Have a star.

That’s one Tesla owner who managed to keep his head.

Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.

In a two-engined plane, if you lose one engine, you still have just enough power to make it...all the way to the crash site.

Yes. Yes, we did.
