IdiotsInCars

A classic

From cammer:

Just happened to me. Am I even the idiot, the light jumps from green to red (no yellow) when I was 10ft away from the crossing?

I loved that car...

Managed to hit the concrete barriers on both sides of a 3 lane highway. Luckily didn't hit anyone but traffic was about 3km long an hour later and caused another accident within the traffic jam itself.

Edit:grammar, and obligatory - I took the frame from my partner's video who captured it for me, as I was busy avoiding the debris scattered all over the highway trying not to get a puncture. I don't touch my phone while I drive, and hope you don't either.

Sorry for the terrible quality of the lights. Not sure what setting I have wrong on the dashcam.

use this link if video doesn't load

i guess i should read their minds.

From the article:

The man is blaming the automaker even though the manual door opener was under his left hand the whole time.

A man in Arizona says that he was recently trapped in his Tesla after getting in, closing the door, and then realizing that his battery was dead. What he didn’t know is that the manual release for the door was under his left hand the whole time. Now, he’s blaming the automaker and raising awareness.

Rick Meggison, 73, says that Tesla needs to address what he calls a “safety concern” involving how to exit the car when the battery dies. The main door latch actuator on all Tesla models is electronic so if the 12-volt battery dies it won’t work. To ensure safe exit of the vehicle Tesla includes a manual release. Meggison didn’t know about that and ended up trapped in his car for 20 minutes on a hot day.

“I couldn’t open the doors. I couldn’t lower the windows. The computer was dead, so I couldn’t open the glove box. I couldn’t open anything,” he told ABC7. Of course, he could’ve opened the door in about two seconds had he known that the manual release was just ahead of his window switches. His situation has many wondering who’s to blame in situations like this.

As annoying as this was, I did get to live out one of my petty fantasies: I had grabbed a coloring sheet for my toddler with some crayons, so I left a nice little note telling this guy that he could now practice staying inside the lines.

I've been watching Trucker Dashcam // Sweden while cleaning around the house today, so this is from another one of his videos. His one of the nicest truckers I've ever heard of. He mainly does dashcam compilations nowadays, and includes videos from friends and subscibers as well.
The GIF is severely cropped and small, sorry. Used ImgFlip again, will look into some better options soon.

In the clip (and the timestamp in the below timed link) you see the trucker approaching a toll station. Apparently "clever" car drivers think it makes more sense to take the pedestrian/bike path to avoid the toll station and instead save a few SEK.

• Original video is at: Trucker Dashcam // Sweden
• Here is time when the "bike driver" turns up
• Here is a Piped link to the channel

Edit: Changed link for the pic to another site
