The Shinkansen has these special yellow test trains that are used to assess the condition of the track. People call them ‘Doctor Yellow’, and seeing one is meant to be good luck.

Idiots don’t notice the 99.9% of cyclists that do.

Remember when that guy in the big truck tried to roll coal to “own” a bunch of cyclists and ended up plowing into them, critically injuring some of them, and wasn’t charged with anything? And it turned out his dad was a cop I think?

Any of them happen to be the last of the V8 Interceptors ?

Ironically hitting Mitch with a hammer is how they reboot him.

“A bad apple spoils the barrel” is the saying, so calling individual cops bad apples says everything you need to know about the police.

There is indeed a person of obviously “limited value” in this story, it wasn’t the student that was killed.

Yes. It is well established that police cannot kill someone merely for running from them.

This is what gangs do, 1312. End Qualified Immunity. I’m certain this is outside of acceptable scope for use of force.

“Then he took a U-turn and was riding on the sidewalk. ... The cop then took my cooler, which was filled with soda cans, water bottles, and hit him.”

There’s nothing that makes this act acceptable. The only outcome would have been severe injury or death. Unfortunately, police are rarely held to the same standard as the general public and he’ll claim immunity and will be supported by the union and chain of command.

It sounds like he should have been fired long ago. I’m not saying what the suspect did was right, he did brake the law. I don’t know of any other position where you can receive that many complaints and cause a lawsuit and still be employed. I would be interested in knowing more about the previous complaints and how…

While certainly nowhere near as bad as your completely broken second world country, it’s still quite incompetent and ineffectual thanks to the dumb/backwards LNP interference. But when it comes to licenses, it already takes 4 years minimum to reach full unrestricted license (L, P1, P2, then finally Open), if the…

Almost none.

Yeah, but it’s at least something.

Yeah, but it’s at least something.

According to the article, a person who just mastered parallel parking their parent’s Honda Civic can go drive a super car still. They just have to sit through an additional online course about it.

“These new driving laws have been introduced after the driver of a Lamborghini Huracan killed 15-year-old Sophia Naismith back in 2019.”

I don’t mind the intent, but anyone who has worked for a large corp know how ineffectual most web-based “training” is. And showing people the potential consequences of their actions results in a ton of “pffft, but that won’t happen to me, I’m too skilled.”

This makes plenty of good sense. Now extend it to include additional licencing and training for larger and more powerful trucks. And probably other types of vehicles that are so dynamically different from what people learned on that it makes little sense to assume they’re competent simply because they got a basic…
