About 1/3 of all traffic deaths are alcohol related

Chase Merrill is a 24-year-old living in the snowy Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York. He figured the $85,626 SUV would make a perfect replacement for his 2015 Ford Edge...

I feel bad for drivers facing these barriers. On one hand - yes, they are trying to save the lives of cyclists like me. But on the other hand, they make it tougher to watch YouTube while driving way over the speed limit. It’s a terrible inconvenience, that. What are they going to do next, force cars to stop before…

About 1/3 of all traffic deaths are alcohol related, and it’s estimated that alcohol related crashes more than $120 billion in damages. I’m not saying I’m for mandatory breathalyzer tech, but if the cost was trivial and the accuracy were 100% it would be hard to argue against it.

I have visited more than 2/3 of the states in the country and Mississippi is not one of them.  This is one of the many reasons I plan to keep it this way.

Maybe, just maybe, if your country didn’t allow everyone - including this delusional kid - to wear a gun, shit like this wouldn’t happen. Without that gun on his hip, this probably ends with the kid getting some (well deserved) fines. Yeah, he was a fucking idiot, but that clearly isn’t yet a death penalty offence.

Jalopnik covers all areas of transportation. Boats, airplanes, air travel, motorcycles, unicycles...

Giant Touch Screens. They are awful.

Tell me that was in the deep south. I bet the cop and judge split the cash.

These always worked well

Yeah, the adaptive headlights are a refinement of an already-robust inspection process in the EU which requires cars be correctly set up in order to be drivable. In the case of the US: it’s a band-aid.

If I had a nickel for every time the inside of my skull got X-Rayed by an oncoming Acura MDX...

the truck isn’t expected to hit showrooms until the end of 2024.

Yeah cars from that era weren’t exactly good to drive.

Counterpoint: These are better as an art piece than an actual vehicle. There is a saying that “old cars become valuable when they become so pretty that you forget how bad they were” - this car is valuable for that reason, but they are still really crappy cars.

will it come with a sound track or would one have to put playing cards in the spokes?

But it’s gonna take decades for this to happen, per the article. By then, most of those old white farts are gonna be dead.

They’re going to send out a signal that hijacks all bluetooth within a hundred yard range to scream “CHECK TWICE! SAVE A LIFE!!!” on everyone’s car audio.

Was wondering the same thing - how do you make an electric bike obnoxiously loud? And sound utterly awful at the same time.

He technically touched the license plate, which is probably actually owned by the State of NY.  And this is the most bullshit, crybaby excuse I’ve ever heard.  Especially since this is an obvious cop or cop-friend, because nobody else would be that fucking blatant about violating the law.
