170 miles per hour is so fast that you’d need the length of a football field to slow down to 100 mph, then another football field to bring it to a complete stop, and the reaction time it took to recognize you should probably hit the brakes covered at least half of a third football field.
You can’t drive your car over the cobbled roads of Northern France. They’re jagged anachronisms from a past era of…
Hello, humans of the Internet, and welcome to Letters to Doug, your favorite weekly column wherein Doug writes…
That doesn’t mean much. Prosecutors probably charged the easy to prove and more serious violation because proving the misdemeanor isn’t worth it. This is not the postal worker case. Far from it. Prosecutors decline to file charges when they could all the time. I have a case right now where the da charged for…
I feel like people are watching these movies for all the wrong reasons. Like, turn off your fucking brain and enjoy the superhuman slugfest for what it is, and then turn your brain back on afterwards.
Y’all need to straight up grow some balls when it comes to Jeremy Clarkson. Yeah, he punched a guy in the face but that was at the same time that he had a dying mother, job problems (the ‘slope’ investigation thing), and a divorce coming. And yeah, he’s said racist and somewhat sexist things, but who cares? He’s just…
Texan here...
That’s the perfect opportunity to have a beat up but reliable Corolla.
It’s the driver’s responsibility to not run over pedestrians in crosswalks. Looking both ways is good practice of course, but it shouldn’t matter if the pedestrian is distracted, the person in the fast moving two-ton SUV needs to pay attention to what they are doing. Hopefully self-driving cars and auto-braking…
People, please start believing that health care IS the miracle God sent you.
Not many would say Doug DeMuro is a reasonable person. I certainly wouldn’t. But compared to our commenters, I’m…
What happens in the not too distant future when robots take your job, yes. Your job. And your entire family’s jobs. And there’s literally no advantage to having you work? You can’t work 24/7, you require pay. You don’t require electricity. What then?
Save your hot takes for NASCAR accidents please... In no way is this on the cyclist, the entire lane was reserved for the race, and he is more than allowed to use it. Because of the wind most cyclist where on the left side of the road but doesn’t mean anything. Just like every other sport the athletes shouldn’t worry…
You’re an idiot. The rules state a cyclist can use the whole road. Support vehicles, including medical ones like this (it wasn’t for TV) should yield.
Are they televising TV motorcycles following a race? No. They’re televising a race, which to be impartial observers, they shouldn’t be altering.
Use your head before you…
Right that’s like saying if a pace car takes out a race car it’s on the racecar driver
It's a bicycle race. He is a racer. It's his track. All of it. It's the support vehicles job to keep out of the way
The “damned point” of the vehicle was to re-launch the Bugatti brand. It was meant to be a showpiece of engineering insanity. It didn’t NEED a W-16, but for historical reasons, and for the challenge of it, they went with one anyway. It was designed to be a car that would break the top speed record, while also being an…
If you're going to be a judgemental asshat you need to go fuck yourself.
