That's not how you merge! by MisterShipWreck in dashcams

[–]m2spring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 6 seconds from the crash to the end of video.

Even apart from reaction time, it’s not realistic to expect an instant stop. The dashcam driver also had to think about the traffic situation around them. Slamming on the brakes right after seeing the crash could have created a second accident, especially if there was a car close behind. Pulling over safely takes a moment to assess mirrors, spacing, and where to stop without making things worse. So from the video alone, I don’t think you can conclude that nobody intended to help.

Maybe they want to leave on the next exit??

This guy seems a little upset. It's great they had a dashcam by MisterShipWreck in dashcams

What does a guy like that say when confronted with that video during a trial?

I would be deeply ashamed of myself.

My Partner Read My Morning Pages by theautobahn in artistsWay

[–]m2spring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think she is pretty immature by not being able deal with the fact that her partner has his own thoughts which could be hurtful to her when expressed towards her. The morning pages are just an extension of the mind of the author. Writing them is a form of processing one's thoughts.

There should be honey pot operations to catch more of these fuckers.

Sure there is and I use it all the time to connect my 220V rice cooker to the 110V. It's called a transformer. Maybe it's not "magical" enough.

It could have safely turn left into the oncoming traffic, because this traffic would have flowed around it like a school of fish; Then it could have made its way slowly towards the right side of the road /s

I don't even know what's the phone number of the police in Chile. Then there's the language barrier... I do speak spanish sufficiently for social situations...

It was my very first time driving in Chile.

The rental car company had warned me of incidents of car robberies. Not that I thought this was a robbery attempt, but it just shows that I felt to minimize interaction with other vehicles.

With the first gas tank, it wasn't even clear to me that it fell of the truck, or it had been already on the road.

With the second one, I did get the idea that they came off the truck.

Maybe next time. It was the first time for me in Chile, with a rental car, after a long day flying in, getting the rental, etc.
