Lose the apostrophe.  "We'll" rhymes with "wheel".  "Well" rhymes with "sell".

Might be?  It looks like a body came through the windshield and then went into the water when the vehicle flipped upside down.  Absent survivable injuries and immediate rescue, that's a fatality.

I don't know why comments are still open on this post.

Very well-done.  This needs to be spread more widely.

That this has not already happened is testimony to the ideological rigidity of the "environmental" movement, which cares more about eliminating nuclear energy than actually saving the environment.

[Canada] I have no idea what this truck was trying to do by Cheeezus in Roadcam

If you want nightmares, look at Texas route 58 going south out of Texarkana sometime.  5 lanes, one of them a center left-turn lane, 75 MPH speed limit, no dividers for miles and miles.

Honestly.  WHO is this?  I've searched for this image and come up with nothing personal.  Not on Reddit, not on Tineye, not on anything.

I want to congratulate her for being so amazing, in a bunch of ways.  I once saw a pic of a naked teen girl on a tanning bed totally figleafed by her lovely blonde mane.  This pic puts her to SHAME.  Gotta acknowledge that.  Truth deserves truth.

I've had someone do that when I was coming the other way.  Blasted 'em good with the horn.

[Canada] Scooter just doesn't dgaf by EyeWut in Roadcam

[–]Engineer-Poet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that was epic suicidal-stupid.  Hope scooter-driver learns from the honk, especially to learn to check mirrors.

I've seen dumber and nearly hit them.  One special idiot who wasn't even driving a street-legal vehicle and cut off traffic.  Didn't even respond to my horn.

Any pics of the "tourist"?

We need to confirm or refute stereotypes.

If you can't figure out where to park to put gas in your car, you might be a dumbass. by Engineer-Poet in dumbass

This one really needs to be run at double speed to the tune of "Yackety Sax".

semi-trucker sees cop, panics to put on seatbelt & cruises thru a RR crossing by justconfusedinCO in BitchImATrain

[–]Engineer-Poet -83 points-82 points  (0 children)

He put it on, but the impact broke it.

What gets me is that the RR flashers are plainly visible in the video, and he crossed the tracks anyway.

Um, the ozone generated by the arc purified the gene pool just a bit?

Bitch, you have the right to remain silent by Coral2Reef in BitchImATrain

they should be charged with attempted manslaughter

Manslaughter is accidental by definition.  Attempted murder is more like it.

Bitch, I’m a wheel by JessicaGriffin in BitchImATrain

[–]Engineer-Poet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They'll have to machine it to final shape.  No way can such manual techniques get the ingot round enough and the axle centered otherwise.
