The only place I’ve had to drive the “wrong” side of the road was the island of Totola, part the British Virgin Isles. There they drive right hand drive cars on the left side of the street, and everyone drives like they’re running 30 minutes late. Fun stuff.

“4.) Put up warning signs like they have in open grazing lands warning that there might be livestock in the road.

“When they’re bored, tired, or drunk.” the only thing they left off the list was “too old to drive myself around”

Looks to me like the guy that caused the accident was focused on the oncoming car. Also this shows why wearing a helmet without the chin strap fastened is absolutely useless. Looks like that box on the back of his bike knocked off his helmet just in time for his head to hit that back of that car. I’ll bet that hurt.

One thing you can say for the Nepalese, They’re smart enough to not shoot vertical video, and they didn’t cut away just as the bridge fell. Good job.

I would assume that the reason Tesla only needs the data from the sensors doesn’t lie, where humans are less reliable in that area.

I liked it better back in the 60s when we were optimistic about the future. Then in the 70s dystopian science fiction started up, and it’s been a slow downhill slide ever since.

It’s amazing what a plane like this can do when you leave the roughly 200,000 pounds of the humans and their baggage that it was designed to carry on the ground.

“Exactly why these crashes continue to occur remains unknown.” The problem is corrupted data behind the wheel. Make it idiot-proof and we’ll build better idiot. Still probably safer than half the drivers out there.

I’ve always loved micro-cars, though its always looked to me like Crosleys were designed by children. It’s like they asked a small child to draw a sportscar, station wagon, car, or truck, then took that child’s rendering to their engineers and said, build this.

Who would think there would be a photoshopped image on the internet? I'm shocked.

It’s common to cut VW engines in half for use in experimental aircraft.

This is a perfect example of what happens when two assholes meet in the wild.

About ten years ago I was living in San Francisco, and I had two cars. I had an 87 Toyota 4wd LE van and an Acura Integra. It was 4th of July weekend so I parked the Van in a place where it wouldn’t get towed, and took the Acura up the coast to Mendocino to spend the weekend with my kids (newly divorced).

This brought back memories from my junior high shop class where we all had to disassemble and reassemble a Briggs & Stratton lawn mower engine. If your engine would start you passed the class. Fun times.

I used my 73 Fiat spider as my daily driver here in California for the last 5 years, and an 81 spider for the 5 years before that. Cars built before 75 are exempt from smog checks, Though the law does get a lot of cars built after 75 off the road, as the smog check doesn’t just check tailpipe emissions, but also…

Also in nature the birth rate is skewed slightly towards male. Males tend to take more risks early in life though, so it tends to even out to roughly 50/50. Could part of this be due to our new tendency toward risk aversion in modern society?

Seeing how a good part of the global economy, and in all of some countries economies are dependent on the continued use of fossil fuels, many people will suffer if this changes, and many people will suffer if it doesn’t. Truly on the horns of a dilemma. One thing is certain though, there will be suffering. Welcome to…

Remember though that is 11,025,505 out of roughly 150,000,000 registered voters in the US. Half of which can usually be bothered to actually vote.

“I’ve never ridden a Chinese step-through scooter, but if I had to guess I’d say running was probably the better escape-option”
