There are some VERY stupid people out there... 

[xrocketengineer]

And we got one of the best collections of them here in the US.

[nicklouse]

a few points here. Harley was out of there like nobodies. that truck went over very easily.

[r3k1355]

To be fair the front of the car hit the truck right between the front and rear wheels, then the back came round and smashed the truck sideways.  No way was it going to stay upright.

 

Driver of the car was a total mong, I hope that crash hurt because they deserved it.

interesting "Quiz" in the link. loads of different terminology and no way of knowing what you have pressed before going to the next question.

Here is comparison between driving knowledge required in the US vs. the UK:

Entertaining,

The car was obviously at fault first, but do hogs not have horns? What's the significance of the double yellows, I'm assuming you shouldn't usually cross them?

Interesting perspective on our highway code in the other link. National speed limits vary for different classes of vehicles so the sign makes more sense as "end of restriction". Still got me questioning my own rusty knowledge - I don't think there are any on motorways, except exit slip roads. The horn rule was wrong, but there's little evidence Brits know it either. The driving test know where you are bit was a revelation. When I took my test it was "at the next junction turn....". When did that change, I know there's talk of bringing satnav in to the test, but I don't see how any of that effects your ability to drive safely. Not cutting across lanes because you're about to miss your turning or pulling dodgy U turns on the otherhand 😕

Yes, motorcycles have horns, however, I think that something must have happened before the video begins...... the double yellow lines is a carpool lane. The driver can not be alone in the car.

First off,  why the hell does the guy on the bike think it's OK to kick a car.

 

Secondly, I'd like to know what happened in the 10-10 seconds before this to inspire them to film the incident.  The car seemed to be wandering into the carpool lane?

 

Thirdly, that truck flip is crazy.

 

Finally, R3k1355; please don't use words like "mong" as an insult.  I'd hoped we were past the days of using disabilities as derogatory terms!

Is there a list of acceptable insults? 

I didn't realise it was so 'PC'

[The Matt]

Just try using ones that don't relate to people with disabilities. That might be a start!

Are you living in a cave ?
It's 2017 mate, what you have written is offensive, not PC just plain offensive.
