Unless the CC companies side with the airlines.

The problem might be water

Similarly, just because two lanes of traffic have stopped and left a gap for you to make a left turn doesn’t mean that they’ve checked to see if there are any cars coming in that open third lane. I’ve seen a few accidents due to that over the years.

There’s a band somewhere in the 10's of GHz area I believe that has been carved out for V2V. The reason why I know that is there was a recent article saying that the cellular providers were wanting that band for 5G because they said nobody was using it.

With LED lights maybe lasting the life of the car, I’m thinking more like minor accidents becoming really expensive. An older car could quickly be totaled because a headlight and bumper needs to be replaced. The bumper: cheap. The headlight, not so much.

Maybe if settlements came from their pension funds they’d be a little more selective in who they hire.

Someone else pointed out that the actual valve is below the frost line, well below street level.

I’ve been at lights a few times where the lights suddenly when off-sequence, like they do when a fire truck/ambulance goes by, only to see an ambulance with no siren/lights drive through intersection with the rest of the traffic. Maybe in a hurry to get home?

Statistics say it’s safer to be a cop today than, say, 30 years ago. But don’t tell that to some politicians or cops.

Then the cop will notice that you have a dashcam and the flash card will mysteriously disappear after he takes it for “evidence.”

That cop may have been exaggerating. I’ve posted before about a case some years back about an 80+ year old driver making a right turn onto a downtown city street in front of a guy driving a Camaro doing over 100. I’m pretty sure the Camaro driver was charged.

I’ve heard that at least in some cities/states cops are not allowed to be the “responding or investigating officer.” This is an example that exactly illustrates why that policy/law is needed. 

Yeah, in my OP I should have mentioned that when I looked at the image in the article, I was like “nothing wrong with that.” While the woman was wronged, I’d like to think that the flight attendant just made a really, really bad one-time mistake. We’re all human.

Based on the photo, I thought that the romper was fine. I was just (admittedly very poorly) saying that any time you leave something to interpretation, someone’s going to get it wrong. And flight attendants have jobs that can be stressful, so while the attendant was wrong, I hate to attach too much blame. What’s that…

What an insightful and helpful comment! Thanks for that.

Maybe less dense: Strike first paragraph and replace with “I was careless/stupid.” Second paragraph: What my original post should have been. Better?

It was a joke, and intended to lead into my opinion about how any time rules can be interpreted, they will sometimes be interpreted poorly. As I said in another comment, flight attendants have stressful jobs, and I thought that people weren’t giving the attendant any slack for making a mistake.

I’ve read that site before. I was trying to make light of the situation, which on reflection wasn’t respectful of the victim. OTOH, everybody’s busy attacking me and not the poor flight attendant, so that’s a plus.

It was a bad call by a flight attendant. He/she will get some training. I made a bad attempt at humor. My bad.

I looked for a customer dress code on the aa site and couldn’t even find that. Thanks.
