OK, a few things.

60 km/h is about 37 mph and although I don't know the exact speed limit on that street, it's not unreasonable to assume it's 50 or 60 km/h.

In the video, the light turns yellow approximately 1.5 seconds before he enters the intersection. He is going 54 km/h at that time. This means he is approximately 23 m from the intersection when the light turns yellow.

According to nacta.org, the safe stopping distance for an average driver at 35 mph is 136 ft or around 41 m.

From the Ontario Highway Traffic Act: Every driver approaching a traffic control signal showing a circular amber indication and facing the indication shall stop his or her vehicle if he or she can do so safely, otherwise he or she may proceed with caution. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 144 (15).

Also from the Ontario Highway Act: No driver or operator of a vehicle in an intersection shall turn left across the path of a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction unless he or she has afforded a reasonable opportunity to the driver or operator of the approaching vehicle to avoid a collision. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 141 (5).

1,2,1,2,3,4
We accept her, one of us, we accept her, one of us!
Gooble gobble gooble gobble!
We accept her, we accept her!
We accept her, one of us, we accept her, one of us!
Gooble gobble gooble gobble!
We accept her, we accept her!

(We-we) we came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
I was testing you - and you passed,
Dental plan! Lisa needs braces,
Be required to fart on a regular basis,
I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse,
Channel 13 - Eyewitness news!
Robocop, who is he?
Dead or alive you're coming with me.

In a hurry to be fed, beady eyes and big blue head.

I'm telling the truth Doc, you gotta believe me,
Why does everything I whip leave me?
My beautiful chocolate! Candy is dandy,
Fava beans and a nice Chianti,
You can count on Slippery Pete,
Suicide will be nice and neat!
I didn't build the Panama canal,
Open the pod bay doors please, HAL,

These aren't the droids you're looking for,
These aren't the droids we're looking for,
I am not a number I am a free man!
Rosebud.
To The Idiotmobile!
Right away Michael,
I-I-I-I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered.

We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
You don't understand I coulda had class,
Round and tasty on a bun,
Ooh Zippy look what you've done!
Finally! Cast off those lines!
No, I've been nervous lots of times,
Red Rum! What's the matter honey?
Just robbed Boss Hogg all of his money!

We came, saw, we kicked it's ass,
Writing checks your body can't cash,
I was elected to lead, not read,
I feel the need - the need for speed,
Watch out for snakes, a good man's loafer,
HQ - my hat looks like a muffin - over,
My god it's full of stars,
There was no driver in the car..

In the car (repeat)

Well you see I'm in hot pursuit!

There are only two things I love in this world - everybody and television!
#The Simpsons
#Run With Us!
Ugh - you must be shrooming,
Wait for me Moomin!
Cross live to meet the host of that show, Meat Boy,
I want to go to there.

We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
An oil tycoon - like a.. moustache,
Nice beaver! I just had it stuffed,
I don't give a shit, close enough,
Where's me washboard? I'll get me coat,
Y-y-y-you're gonna need a bigger boat,
What'd she say? I think she bought it,
Suck it monkeys! I'm goin' corporate!
C'mon let's take a drive! A drive?
Number 5 is alive!
It's only a laugh, no harm done,
Pickles, french fries, yum yum yum,
Bueller, Bueller, Bueller,
It's 2 degrees cooler,
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long,
Six words in the whole song.

We-we-we accept her, one of us, we accept her, one of us!
Gooble gobble gooble gobble!
We accept her, we accept her!
You are number 6 5 4 3 2
I am not a number, I am a free man

We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
Give me my 20,000 in cash,
We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
I think you woke up the dead with that blast
We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
I think fast, I talk fast,
We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
Lois, this is not my Batman glass,

I love this guy. His "no driver" pranks are good, clean, hilarious fun.

No driver licenses needed?

seems like it would be much safer (in this scenario) to have computer controlled acceleration. You know everything about the track so it's a relatively easy physics and control problem.




It would be even safer if there was no driver at all; also, they could also make the gap much smaller so they don't need to be going so fast. Maybe no engine, and scale the car down to an inch or so big. It would be pretty safe, then.

Or, actually, maybe just not do the jump at all. That would be very, very safe.

When I worked for the company that delivered packages for canada post in Kamloops BC, they literally told me just to leave it if no one was home, called a "safe drop" if you couldnt see the package from the road it was okay to leave it unless it stated otherwise. I didnt like doing it I thought it was retarded to do that. That was a horrible company, run by a bunch of east indian brothers or something, no background check, no drivers check, but I got to fiddle with your package.

Ali was my first and only true hero, Since then heros dont stand up to the test of time, like Ali has, and only Ali.
Most athletes are steroid users and thugs, abusers of everything, drug taking , no drivers licencse having,dope smoking gamblers,whoremongering unfaithfull dog killing wife beaters, no tax paying chaufer shotgunning liars.
I know I'm jaded now and I don't call anybody a hero, even if they may deserve it. There have been a very few that could possibly make the list. Muhammed Ali will always be on top of the short list of true sports Heros.

Lets name a few.

Clyde Drexler..., I'm running outa names, You name some.

There is no "driver behind the eyes", so to speak, but I know what you're getting at. Purely theoretically, molecules could form that made up the exact same "self" as the one I have now. But I don't see the difference between reincarnation and this? I don't think this could ever happen. The complexity involved is so enormous the the statistical chance of it being able to happen (again) is close to nothing.

Well, that's a different argument, actually: If the universe were to be infinitely old, in fact, you have probably existed before, with the exact same atoms and such. It's not infinitely old, but still an interesting argument.

But even still, it doesn't interest me very much that if in the future someone creates an exact duplicate of myself. My consciousness won't magically transfer from my dead body to the new one, so it's irrelevant. It's like those transporters on Star Trek - they annihilate one body and create a duplicate in another place. I'd never step on to one of them.

No, I'm talking about your conscious self, self-awareness, stream of consciousness, whatever it is that you'd like to call it. I think the only counterargument is that you're not actually a conscious entity. Which seems rather at odds with reality. Assuming, of course, that you do have conscious experience.

@Gwiz:
Aaah, I'm not going to flat out agree or disagree with that. "Life after death" implies that the life is sort of like the one we have now, or that "something carries over" to the second life. This I reject wholeheartedly, and the evidence does in no way support that idea.
Right. Which is why at no time did I claim that a reincarnated individual, for example, would have any memory of his past life.
The claim is about the you (the "you" sitting behind the drivers seat of your body, and not me) that could occur again after death. While it sounds wildly implausible, the fact that it has happened already is our only solid point of evidence, so it would be rather irrational for us to arrogantly claim it could never happen again.
Of course, in a "resurrection of the body" type environment, such things would be possible.

Love the dumbasses who sit and stare at the unoccupied vehicle moving towards them. Here's a clue for you, if a car, known to have no driver, is even partially moving in your direction, you might be best to take pre-emptive action.

...Just because there was no driver on the top!

Even though the Republicans are being way too overzealous on this issue, they do have a point. How do you make sure a person is eligible to vote in that area? You can't require ID, because that would eliminate poor people who have no driver's license or anything with their picture on it. So what's to stop them from registering in multiple districts and voting multiple times? It's a conundrum.

But I seriously don't think the problem is as widespread as they claim. They're just terrified of losing and are pushing every way they can to keep poor people from voting.

If she had got any closer, she would have noticed not only was it going backwards at 70 MPH, but also that there was no driver.
And a new government conspiracy theory is born!
