Some twat splashed me on a wide open road the other day after I got caught in a hailstorm on my way home, still salty about that one
Not that it made any difference I was fully saturated anyway
It’s because you didn’t have a brick
I’ve nearly been bricked by a crazy and/or violent person while driving. Twice, actually. I can tell you with certainty that this will cause people to slow and potentially invite a wellness check. Bricks have so much utility.
Years ago somebody threw a brick off an overpass and shattered my Dad’s windshield while he was on the highway. He drives for a living so he was able to maintain control but it could have easily killed him and others.
There was a horrific video from years back of dashcam footage where a family was driving down the highway and a brick flew through their windshield, killing the wife in the passenger seat instantly. I can’t imagine going through that much trauma as a family.
That one is fucking haunting. At least nobody threw that one though, it fell off of a truck heading in the opposite direction. Makes you realize how much we have to just trust that everyone around us on the highway has their shit together.
We do, and they don’t… they definitely don’t…
Sounds like your dad was treated the same way he treats others.
Pollution is not a victimless crime. It causes famines, droughts, fires, and hurricanes. It kills people. The fact that you can’t see the people you’re killing shouldn’t be important. You’re not an animal, you’re a human who has been blessed with reason enough to understand the consequences of your actions. The fact that you and your dad choose not to use this faculty is not anyone else’s problem.

Are you saying my Dad deserves to die because he was driving a car and/or because he drives for a living?
His profile demonstrates he’s chronically insufferable. I wouldn’t pay much attention to him.
Ah thanks for the Intel.
That’s what he said! Welcome to the internet. People kinda shitty here.

Imagine being in a city so pedestrian hostile that you need flags to be noticed by cars (Salt Lake City, I’m looking at you). And of course it’s never the driver’s fault.
Do you mean a pole with flags on it that you grab and bring to the other side when you cross? I’ve also run into those in Jackson Hole
The last time I had to drop off my car at the nearest tire shop and walked the 1.5 miles on the dangerous road to get to my quiet road I had three different people stop to offer me a ride to get me out of danger. It’s just two narrow lanes and a ditch and cars going 45-55 mph. You 100% can’t ride a bike on it, I’ve seen one in 17 years.
Yeah, if you’re in SLC, just give up on walking anywhere and take the Blue line, or the Green line. Every place you need to go to is a little too far to walk anyway.

Fyi: is a joke, they’re foam.
Also, this crossing needs a dedicated light that ties into the nearby traffic light.
If this is America, the cars will just stop in the intersection or ignore the light entirely
I’m pretty sure this is canada, unless this has become an international trend in record time.
Yeah, zooming in the sign says Vancouver in the bottom right
struggling to find that video where one dude stood in the rain with a brick so cars wouldnt wet him.
Pretty sure it’s not “don’t get the brick wet,” it’s “if you splash me I’m throwing this at your car”
Why is he just standing there for so long? Is this scripted?
Edit: derp on my part
It literally says
Social Experimentin the titleYou know, I saw the japanese at the bottom and just kind of completely missed all the english… and I can’t even read japanese. My bad!
