Nice. Now, let the snuff debate begin. <shuac rolls eyes>

keep your eyes open stay away from the traffic and you will be fine.

Also stay off the highways. Scenic Route much better.

Scary stuff, in fact *fear. Not snuff if they survived.

Adding video to channels (Fear) - requested by gwiz665.

I DO NOT want to be the guy in that Audi TT...

ALSO, after doing some googling, I found the article and some pretty disturbing pictures. Incredibly, no one died, a few injured, the truck driver was blamed for the whole thing.

And a news clip of the crash including some footage from the aftermath:

fuck trucks

fuck irresponsible truck drivers


Fixed.

Just don't go outside.

Trucks are like guns people,
It's not the trucks, it's the operators!

I just had a defensive driving course at work and some of the pictures we saw were damn graphic. Decapitations, disembowelments. Gruesome.

NordlichReiter, Just who in that video was trying to "survive at all costs, even the expense of other humans"?

You sounds like someone who leads a very fearful life. Do you have any idea how uncommon danger is now compared to any other time in human history?

Live in fear of everything! You have no control!

^I spend most of my day running around in panic, the rest is sifting..

People ask me why I don't take subways, or buses. This is exactly why.
Because when some one's back is against the wall, they wont care about you. It is human nature to want to survive at all costs, even the expense of other humans.
This is the same reason I do not take the roads in Player Vs Player MMO games. The same reason I don't follow the road to my car, or the gas station, seems like common sense to me. But then again I'm a bit strange about these things.


I sure hope you're being sarcastic.

What an insanely fearful way to live that robs you of basic joys every day. If you spend all your time worrying about what could, possibly, in a 1 in a 100,000 chance, maybe happen if you go out of the house... then... really... what's the point of life.

But then, I get the impression you are joking because, well, your post makes little sense... how has anyone got any back to a wall, and how does this apply to subways?

It's hard to without injury.

Um

So I've heard.

From the cars-guide.com article:

Truck driver Jose Ortiz, 49, of Winston-Salem, N.C., was cited with multiple violations, including a missing tax sticker, bald tires and improper registration for weight. He was also cited for operating an overweight vehicle.

The trailer, which had a gross maximum weight of 80,000 pounds, was 16,000 pounds overweight when it crashed.

"I feel bad I couldn't control it," Ortiz said of the rig.

"This video brought to you by the letter HOLY and the number SHIT!"

yea, idk about other places, but in Pennsylvania, if there's a three lane highway, trucks are not allowed in the left lane. my dad actually got run off the road once (no accident, we just had to get off the pavement).

Dunno if anyone is still reading this thread, but it turns out (from the cars-guide.com article) it was the TT driver's birthday. No kidding.

Moral of the story.. don't use the HOV lane.


This was hilarious on the news in Boston, a truck crushed the HOV lane concrete barriers and literally trapped a whole freeway worth of drivers in a one-way to nowhere. The video shows the lane.

Maybe the driver was just trying to get his poodle to the nearest vet and missed his off ramp...

leave a space in front way more than the suggested car lengths, and brake check those who do not respect thine rear (if at first you have given the knuckle-dragger a chance to respond to your courteous signals....)

No worries here,...Professional Driver....

Oh..and stay the fuck away from Truck Drivers.....notorious idgits, drug-users, and asleep at the wheelers, which is what looks like happened here....
