Driver has no option but to slam at 70 mph into stopped car!

HaricotVert says...

Almost all modern cars these days have rev limiters, which will minimize the potential damage one can do, assuming one properly stops the car and turns off the ignition as soon as safely possible.

Yeah but shift into neutral and you risk it overrevving the engine. . ..... ...

In the spirit of satirical suspension of disbelief, since Vietnam is one of the many countries in which sepak takraw is a popular and competitive sport, it's not impossible for a Vietnamese player to play for a Thai team, much like Ronaldo played for Real Madrid or Ronaldinho played for A.C. Milan despite neither being their country of origin. They just go where the money/talent is. Kinda adds an extra layer of "star player antics" to Nguyen's behavior, lol.

This is LMFAHS hilarious, except for the needle in my eye of them using a Vietnamese name for a Thai player on a Thai team who's speaking Thai to the camera. That's irksome.

One Way To Deal With A DUI Checkpoint (Refusal)

HaricotVert says...

Pretty much what I thought too. A citizen may choose to use their rights or cede them at their leisure. It's just like how I choose not to exercise my right to keep and bear arms, but the right still exists for everyone else, or in case one day I change my mind. I don't think the driver was an asshole either, as the cops are already there all night and spending an extra 1.5 minutes on a single driver makes no difference to them either way, other than slowing the cars per minute that travel through that checkpoint (perhaps preventing them from nabbing an actual drunk driver).

The police officers know the rights of citizens better than most citizens do themselves (one of the unfortunate consequences of eliminating civics classes from school curricula, a la budget cuts), which I presume is why their initial persistence and robotic repetition of the carefully-worded phrase "Have you had anything to drink tonight?" is eventually ended when they realize the driver knows his rights as well as they do.

>> ^L0cky:

So a guy calmly exercises his right to not incriminate himself; and the police allow him to do so courteously.
