I'm still confused as to how/why motorists keep driving into these?
maybe he was trying to hit a cyclist. I once saw a guy get out of his car to try and chase down and attack someone on a bike
Same reason people like to vault over the center of roundabouts or merge through 3 lanes at once to make an exit.
they don't look at the road, like, surface wise or similar. They don't do this because we've trained every car driver for decades that they don't have to, unless you're on like a dirt road it's pretty much always gonna be fine and blasting over it at speed is going to be fine
suddenly it ain't
we really need to just laugh in these dipshits' faces and tell them to git gud at driving
Why do we think it's a good idea to make people spend like two months when they're 15 learning how to drive, and then they never have to think about it again? I bet Diane fucking Feinstein probably still has her driver's license.
95% of the country is a food desert with no public transit or sidewalks, so all you can do without a car is walk/bike for miles to go to the dollar general
a horrifying number of people think even that meager test of competency is government tyranny
and to be honest, the first point means I can't strictly disagree with them. their solutions are idiotic ofc and we need public transit
Yeah. Like, should 16 year olds be allowed to drive? Definitely not, but as it currently stands in much of the country that’s the only way to leave your home
There's a huge chunk of the USA where the roads are straight lines with nothing but wheat for several miles in a row. It could be the some of the people writing our transportation laws genuinely think driving is that easy everywhere. Get a few Bostonites on the council and they'd have a different attitude.
Look up how long Arizona drivers license last and weep lol
maybe I just haven't played enough video games, but I don't even see how it flipped, assuming the barrier is in the photo.
But I've seen drivers get their cars stuck (less damage) on more obvious traps. ACAB.

Yeah it's kind of wild how drivers are so reckless. There were concrete protectors that were added in ny neighborhood to protect cyclists and pedestrians from turning cars . This was like 5+ years ago and I still see cars driving up the protector and scrapping the bottom of their cars there. I also got hit by a car on one of these corners.
When threatened, they will expose their undersides as a submissive display
Sometimes tires glitch out the physics engine if they catch an edge just right. I saw some guy (probably drunk) nearly flip his car when he just barely made contact with the median on a highway, he went from flat on the ground to 60 degrees on two wheels in like half a second. He definitely would have flipped if he was driving an SUV instead of a sedan.
Yeah I saw a pickup go from ~50-60mph moving essentially straight ahead, upon clipping a curb with the front passenger side tire ended up turned 90 degrees, t-boning a vehicle in the opposite lane. In the span of ~1 second.
its an excellent photo, with the bike cruising by safety
I'm surprised the suspension didn't allow it to go completely over that tiny concrete divider. What's the point of all that size and weight?
It's designed to roll over squishy things like pets and families
Meanwhile, in my city, we get flimsy plastic bollards that the DOT has to replace every few months because people keep driving over them. :sicko-wistful:
