Going down...

in a blaze of glory...

So what was he angry about in the first place. The car drives up to a red light and stops at the stop line. Is there something about Australian traffic rules I don't understand?

the music at the end was timed pretty great; I think a slow motion of the 2 seconds going into the faceplant would have added a lot

No, he stopped at the right place. From the gesturing I think the pedestrian thought he was coming in a bit hot and should slow down. Obviously that's not how the approach looked on the dashcam...

It seems pretty clear that the car crosses the white "stop here" lines after the arrows. He's obviously not a danger to the pedestrian though who seems like the type of person who enjoys taking offense at every opportunity.

Hah! The corner of Wyatt St and Flinders St here in Adelaide. I thought he was wearing a MAGA hat at first so I was confused why it seemed so familiar.

Adding video to channels (Downunder) - requested by Fantomas.

No, he stopped over the line. He's in the intersection. Illegal and dangerous.

The driver is on Wyatt St in Adelaide, South Australia. The pedestrian is walking along Flinders St.

I think your dog is cute.

I thought it looked familiar too but I thought it was Leicester in the UK. So looked on google maps but no Wyatt street in Leicester. Then I searched for Wyatt & Flinders and found I was off by just a little bit.

That's funny. Not referring to your shit joke but your poor ability in making it. Lol. Yeah, not me, or my dog.

Fantomas pointed out the location before I did (hello fellow Australian!).

BTW, I used to be a paramedic. I've scrapped lots of people up off of the road (alive and dead) from this sort of small driver error. This is just one of the reasons I'm happy about the advent of driverless cars.

Is road safety funny to you?

People walking out in front of cars and getting creamed because of their idiotic belief that simply being right makes them indestructible?

That's hill-AIR-ee-us. E. I. A.

Crash your car into a tree? That's 100% your fail.
Crash your car into a pedestrian? That's 100% your fail.
Fail to avoid getting hit by a car as a pedestrian? THAT is YOUR fail.

You don't have well thought out opinions. Your examples are very poor.

Failing to avoid getting hit by a car as a pedestrian may or may not be the pedestrian's fault. I could give you literally thousands of examples where it is not the pedestrian's fault (and I bet the statistics show this to be true the majority of the time) but I'll let you Google them yourself.

I sure as hell hope you're a spring chicken because if someone veers off the road at a high enough speed directed at you, you're going to have a hard time getting out of the way.

BTW, I'll let my mates who are still paramedics know to tell any pedestrians injured by cars (or family thereof for the deceased ones) that it was their fault, even when it wasn't.

This one is just for you:

Sorry, didn't realize until now you don't have a sense of humour or the absurd. Noted for future reference.

With comedy It can be very funny just like most things in life. Maybe you are unaware that Payback is ALWAYS poking fun.

I have a hard time finding suicide funny. A joke about suicide has to be pretty spectacular for me to not feel uncomfortable. We all have OUR things based on OUR experiences. If you want to get bent about someone joking about 'road safety', that's on you. I do however understand why you would feel this way based on your job as a paramedic, and what that has comes with.

Bonus hilarious joke about suicide

Oh don't I?

You didn't think to maybe ask (since I haven't said anything about what I find funny or not).

Hint: paramedic = sense of humour 10 x darker than yours.

You still haven't answered my first question.

Thanks Captain Obvious I know how humour works.

You're making an assumption that I'm bent about her opinion. I'm not. I think she's 1. not funny (requirements for being funny = being funny), and 2. not a deep thinker.

Yes, I've seen some terrible things (more than just seen, I've been right in the thick of it), but I was never bothered by those situation - they were the "fun" jobs. Most paramedics are like that.

Having previously lived in Adelaide for a considerable portion of my life, I can assure you he has every right to be miserable.

Well, you seem to be absolutely certain you know exactly where the front of his car is relative to the crosswalk markings. However, due to foreshortening, it's impossible to tell precisely where he's stopped. I'll admit that it does look like he's crossed the stop line a bit (but even that is not certain) but it seems clear to me that he hasn't crossed the nearest line of the crosswalk. He also has come to a complete stop before the pedestrian has reached the centre of the road so your characterization of this stop as being illegal and dangerous is rather hyperbolic.

LMAO! "Her"

You really are bent about it...

Have you ever walked through that intersection?

Did you walk through that intersection at the time this incident took place?

You haven't answered my question yet.

You're certainly a rocket scientist. No, I haven't responded to your irrelevant question as you haven't responded to my more relevant question.

Lol, you're looking pretty pathetic.

You bore me.

I think maybe not.
The joke was on point, clever, and clearly got your goat from my viewpoint, for some unknown reason.
Before saying other people look pathetic, you might take a cold hard look at yourself and think about how you might be looking to others. It's probably better to just walk away if you can't take a harmless joke. ;-)

And I think so. Who wins?

You're entitled to your opinion about the "joke". If I say it doesn't bother me it's because I'm telling the truth. If it bothered me, she'd know about it.

The problem with being funny (or talented in any way) nowadays is that you're going to get compared to the plethora of incredibly talented people on the internet. With this in mind I actually have a yard stick I'm comparing against. Maybe in yesteryear you could claim some person or another was funny (or talented) and it would be true in one's tiny circle, just like every ugly baby is pretty to their mother.

I'm happy to be percieved by others as pathetic - they're entitled to their opinions. But I'll happily keep calling people out as pathetic.

The social mores are clear in this case - it's rude to reply to a question with a question; and it would have been trivial to answer the question.

You're welcome to walk away. Don't worry, sooner or later I'll get bored of you as well.
