This fucker has been doing this for forever now:
It looks way too slow to be 290 though...Too bad that the organs of those people are regularly unusable after they crash at such a speed.
Dying from crashing usually means that organs are useless regardless of speed.
This guy is the original for driving like an idiot in traffic and recording it, he's been at it for 25 years or so now. He's banned from the sportbike forum i hang out on for being a fucking twat.

US police, the best funded police force on Earth
It very decidedly ain't.
Or maybe—I don't know the numbers—they are by numbers, but in most of the USA police is severely short on resources for the job they should be doing.
-
@Bulb best funded, but definitely not the best at allocating those funds.
-
@Gustav If they are actually best funded by numbers, saying they are not the best at allocating funds sounds like an understatement of the century.
-
@Bulb we're talking about a country with 2 TRILLION dollar (that's 2 metric billions) annual federal budget - so not counting any of the 50 states' individual budgets - that's widely regarded as a total shitshow. Their police is no worse than their everything else.

The brain certainly will have been a useless organ in that case.

It's a pretty useless organ in a majority of the population regardless of crash status.

@Gustav I watched that almost live a couple of days ago.
Watching police car chases from news helicopters is one of the most decidedly American things out there. Guess there's a market, and a high supply.
It's really a Southern California thing.

Yes, it's a rare day that a news video of a chase in L.A. doesn't get posted to YouTube. Arkansas, Ohio, and Wisconsin also have a lot of chases, but those have dashcam videos posted, rather than news helicopters.
-
@HardwareGeek gotta burn all that aircraft fuel somehow.
-
A YouTuber I follow videoed somebody doing something dumb at a railroad crossing. And that's ok; it is dumb. But he titled it "Worst Driver In America." Dude, not even close!
-
@HardwareGeek the rest of the title is equally dumb. "Never do this on railroad" - excusez-moi? What else is they supposed to do in this situation!? Stay in place and get smashed by barrier? Escape forward and get smashed by train? I have a feeling the camera person doesn't even have a driver's license.

@Gustav said in Driving Anti-Patterns - Necro Edition:

Of course, then we would all have a good laugh
-
@TimeBandit not really. These happen all the time in Poland and results are very underwhelming.
-
Tried to look up example but couldn't find any. Instead found this.

Spoiler in title. Thankfully, Americans can't read.

Летят две вороны. Одна говорит:

- Careful! Boom gate!

with 360-degree collision avoidance sensors, a backup camera with full guidance, a heated embroidered seat, party lights, a touchscreen display, a USB charger, and a tow hitch. LED headlights, a seatbelt, and a horn come standard. There’s even a “trunk” (a pocket, anyhow) with 0.17 cubic feet of space for documents and / or a laptop.
20 km/h and 5 l.

Coming to a sidewalk near you!

Yesterday I AGAIN almost ran over a pedestrian. And once again, it would not have been my fault. And this time somehow worse than last time.
So I was driving home. Evening, so dark. Going down the offramp. Narrowly passing a guy in dark clothes with no reflectors or anything walking on the side of the road, in the direction of traffic so back turned towards oncoming traffic. 2m to the right of the offramp across a lawn there is a footpath for pedestrians and cyclists where he would be completely safe from large lumps of mostly metal going at bone-shattering speeds. What. The. Fuck. Is. Wrong. With. People?
-
@Atazhaia They simply don't think. Yesterday I almost created a "summer model" out of someone else's car because the bozo opened his driver's door without checking if there maybe was a car passing to his left...
-
@Atazhaia I had almost the same thing. But at least they were wearing reflective pants. Narrow winding mountain road, no shoulders at all, they were walking on the 2 inches of pavement next to the white line.
(that's a blind corner the sign is warning about)

At this point it's clear you need more practice.

@Gustav Obviously.
Missing a pedestrian is excusable, but missing a second one?

@boomzilla said in Driving Anti-Patterns - Necro Edition:
I was trying for 2 minutes to figure out what Polish word the owner tried to misspell. The word is 100% legible, it just doesn't mean anything.
-
@Gustav keep trying!

I kept trying to figure out what that had to do with QR codes!

@Atazhaia should buy a Mercedes. That's what the star on the hood is for: Aim assistance.
Near misses can be compensated for by opening the door at the right time.

I miss the manual windage and elevation dials. They say the electronics are more accurate, but it just doesn't feel right.

Glad to hear this joke (including opening the door) is international. I wonder where's ti's from originally.

Well, Mercedes is a German company, so...

Indeed. Like the Japanese, a peace-loving, engineering-inclined, orderly people, with no strange sexual proclivities or warlike nature whatsoever.

Would you pay an extra $1200/year to shave 0.9 seconds off your 0–60 acceleration?

If I was already dumb enough to buy a Mercedes EV? Probably.
I'm not though so no.

I wouldn't, you wouldn't, but there are enough rich idiots who would, and that's all that's needed to ensure things got more and more subscription-based every year.
On the plus side, maybe they'll finally stop this new-model-every-year circus.

They'll move to the "You need to buy a new car to get the upgrade. Oh, and this is a required upgrade - your old car will stop working in one week." model. And just wait until they discover agile development. New model every 6 weeks!

@dcon Just wait for the reboot while you're doing 130kph.
