"Hold my Akvavit and watch this!" Apparently the US doesn't have a monopoly on rednecks.

He'd better hope they never hit anything, because with his harness adjusted as badly as that, he's going to be looking at some serious internal injuries, if he doesn't just submarine out of it completely.

The US could use some hard-hitting PSA like those produced by the Transport Accident Commission in Victoria, Australia. One of their most memorable spots addresses the dangers of drowsy driving: "Kombi"

Driving down the wrong side of the freeway would have to be right up there on the "most dangerous" list. Doesn't happen all that often, but when it does, it almost always ends very badly.

Card readers at the pump have not caught on Down Under for some reason - you still pump your gas then walk inside to pay by cash or card.

I'm going to agree and disagree with this one. True, the stalk combines multiple functions into a single control, but until you get used to it, it's no more or less intuitive than steering wheel buttons. And once you've used the buttons for a while, you develop muscle memory just as you do for a stalk. Furthermore,…

I think you meant "Chevbrolet Tahbro"

"D'ya think the Secret Service would let you ride if I told them there are hookers in the trunk?"

Ah, but part of the reason for meters is to limit the duration of your stay. Public street parking relies on constant turnover - if there were no time limits, then there would be no constant supply of spaces opening up throughout the day.

Yeah, I think it would be more accurate to say "BOTH your mirrors are missing." A single missing mirror could just as easily be attributed to a third party, but if both are missing, then it's probably safe to assume that the driver either knocked them off him/herself, or doesn't care enough to get them replaced. …

"Ever notice how everyone driving faster than you is a lunatic, and everyone driving slower then you is a moron?"
— George Carlin

The Victoria, Australia, Roads Authority produced this PSA a couple of years ago. Sounds like #10 to a T.

What's Turkish for "You drive like an asshat?"

Well, duh, Stratos!

I'm not sure that classifies as a "save".

Not exactly infrastructure, but it was demolished by the Oregon State Highway Division: the infamous exploding whale of Florence beach.

These things should be freely available in the US, with the caveat that anyone using them automatically waives any and all insurance coverage. The gene pool could use a little spring cleaning.

And to think, they probably would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been wrong-wheel-drive.

Apparently some folks are unclear on the concept of an estimate. Plus it came from "one of the officials" at the scene - probably a cop or tow truck operator, neither of whom could be considered an expert in Hyundai pricing (or math, for that matter).

Couldn't have said it better myself.
