There once was a man from Nantucket
Whose newspaper told him to suck it
They did not approve
And told him to move
From public beach where he had stuck it

There once was a man from Nantucket

It would be a fair response to having microtransactions foisted on you after the fact.

Look man, if you’re trying to get new people into EVs, software paywalls for already purchased hardware is just not changing any more minds.

Were there pedestrians on the pathway that the cop car had just passed?

Just to make it clear where we stand: I’m in the ACAB camp, I am protesting against genocide in Gaza, I support the student demonstrators.

Did the driver of the ATV not injure himself? I mean, he chose to ride his vehicle without safety gear, at speeds too fast for conditions, in an area he wasn’t supposed to be. And then he crashed his own vehicle at a high rate of speed into a stationary object of greater mass. Seems like driver error to me.

Nah, bro. There are times when the cops should be skewered for their actions.

One was not an active threat to anyone, the other is a guy riding a vehicle that weighs a few hundred pounds at 30+ miles per hour on a path meant for pedestrians lol

Yeah, how could an All Terrain Vehicle circumvent obstacles placed on a path?

I am failing to see how the cop did not do *exactly* the right thing here. If moron was going too fast to stop in time to not hit a very plainly visible cop car, he was going too fast to not hit a pedestrian. Not like he came around a blind corner and there was the cop.

I’m trying to find an acceptable way that this could have been handled differently. Wait at the bottom hoping the ATV driver doesn’t run over anyone on the way down? Deploy spike strips, with probably similar results? Stand at the side of the road and shout at the ATV driver to stop, as he blows by and drives away?…

Two parties in the wrong you say?

If you were going too fast to avoid a stopped car, you were going too fast to avoid a pedestrian. I’m good with this one.

I’m normally on the ACAB side, but I’m really struggling to be displeased with what the cop did here.

You should try closing you finger in the door of a 75 Monte Carlo.

I really hope you bought it out

she told CarScoops that she wouldn’t be backing another EV startup anytime soon… so replaced her Fisker with a Tesla Model Y.
