Potential unstable neck injuries.
There are several, such as in Pittsburgh that were allowed to rot away but I-35 wasn’t one of them.
Just the right height for the sharp corner on bro-truck doors to put a can-opener chop. That pool noodle is too low for when they turn in the seat and kick the door because the hinges are rusty.
I parked 40 feet from all other cars and was rewarded by a plumbing truck with a steel C-Beam bumper hooking into the wheel well and then, having felt a bump, the driver pulled forward. To line up to the closest space to the door.
Yup. Around here the sport is to go down the street with a pellet gun, taking out a dozen or more street-facing car windows one after the other. Not pick one car and go to town on all of them.
The owner could have gotten a commercial policy, and chose not to, knowing he would not be covered. Seems the fault is shifted the wrong way for anything but misuse or abuse as the owner knew about the situation first. Home car insurance doesn’t cover any commercial use. Renter was dumb for at-fault exposure, but…
Hint - overtaking a long line of cars in a neighboring lane at a high differential speed makes yielding to cars that move into your lane tough. Was it the truck driver’s plan to just clap with joy at blocking in the white car and seeing it pulverize the stopped car? Looks like even worse planning by the truck driver…
Main lesson - don’t rent from Turo.
It isn’t to save time - it is to be safe. Backing in there is very low chance a car will be speeding in the parking space, where numerous times I have been backing out and either someone backs out from across the way or comes speeding down the aisle. This is a larger problem from extended cab lifted bro trucks parking…
The polite thing is to post the detour before the first exit closure, but a lot of places won’t do that. Not sure what he was desperate to get to, but it looks like they cut off half of downtown with no indication of an alternative.
He left the road to go around parked vehicles blocking the road.
Sometimes it is just a case of missing the edge of the brake pedal and slipping onto the gas pedal. If one believes they are on the brake they press harder if the car isn’t stopping. It is why cars have interlocks to prevent shifting from park if the brake isn’t pressed. The majority of sudden unexpected acceleration…
Remember when LAPD took down an illegal fireworks business, packed too many of them into a bomb disposal trailer and not only destroyed the trailer, a bunch of cars, and homes on the surrounding block? This in spite of one disposal tech saying it was too much for a shot and his boss told him to go f’ himself.
Yes - the ceramic element failed, blocking the exhaust. Took an Italian tune-up to clear the problem. Still passed emissions test for 4 more years. Got replaced with crap from Midas to pass after that.
As a sometimes bicycle rider in an area that has drivers openly hostile to the 5 or so riders I have ever seen, self-preservation is a high priority, so when no protected lane exists I take to the sidewalks that almost no pedestrian uses. The peak use is from the local high school for a half hour in the afternoon.
The walk signal is always aligned with green. The cross traffic has red.
I bet your seeing eye dog does it for you. Or, as in many places, you will wait forever as the drivers absolutely do not look to the right before giving it the gas. You can stand on that curb and never be seen.
Smart sensors are a better fix than a bad law.
Ford Pinto and a Mazda with a Ford Transmission.
Perhaps Spike would change the opening as well with the rape of Nanjing or that the atrocities by the Japanese dwarf what the Nazis were up to in sadistic cruelty.
