Ten: . Although the pavement paint is worn/faded, the 'pedestrian crossing' sign looks new. . Irregardless, I am responsible for my safety... and the safety of my wheelbarrow.
Since when does crossing the street at the location of a neon green and blue crosswalk sign with white stripes on the road surface (albeit a touch faded) constitute 'jaywalking'?
Methinks there's more than one person who either needs to retake their driver's test, or get their eyes checked before their next renewal.
#10 The wheelbarrow guy was in a crosswalk, but the drivers lawyer will make hay out of the pictures showing how faded the stripes are. Still look both ways.
Winston Churchill also died from being hit by a taxi in NYC before the war, being British he looked... the wrong way. He owned up to it afterwards, refused to sue the taxidriver.
I dont care who has the right of way I can not understand how you can walk onto a street, not looking in either direction, and just expect everyone else to stop for you. Look before you cross the damn street. 90% of pedestrian/vehicle encounters are the cause of the pedestrian. Whether they had the right of way or not.
4) Time to pull Engine No. 1 shutoff. But then on the other hand a friend of mine was on final into Birmingham in a Cessna Citation and the Number 1 Engine blew up. He pulled the No. 1 shut off and it shut off No. 2. Wired Backwards. Glided in. Good thing they were on short final.
Good hit. Solid hit. Was talking w/a buddy about current NFL criminal posturing & in your face behaviour. Does anyone recall Ronnie Lott ever ever dealing w/that kind of punk ass BS. Mr. Lott would do bad things man! (As Dennis Hopper would say)

One reason I won't fly commercial is that I used to haul logs with another owner-operator who had previously been a mechanic for United Airlines. And I'm being dead (pun intended) serious here. I wouldn't let that guy change the oil in my pickup.

ReplyDeleteAll those cars that did not stop for crosswalks and hit someone/thing are in for a fat ticket or lawsuit.

Except #10 he was jaywalking, #8 has a case but still should have looked before going!!!!!grayman
Delete#10 is in a marked crosswalk. The street markings are faded, but the sign is clear.
Delete10 is also a crosswalk. Looks like its lit up too on the right side of the photo.

ReplyDelete#4 Doesn’t help my fear of flying any. I’d shit if I saw that while on a plane.

I wonder what the bad boy's plan was before he got flattened by the cop. Was he figuring on escaping capture by running over the top of the car?
ReplyDeleteI'll bet he was sore all over when they took his mug shot.
He was on him like a cheeta.
DeleteMust have been stealing donuts.

DeleteIt never ceases to amaze me the number of people that will step into the street without looking.
ReplyDelete"Deserve" may be a strong word to use but I've always thought that people who can't look before crossing the street are, on some level, meant to die.
DeleteWhat is that in the engine?? #4...
ReplyDeleteThe spinner from the end of the motor shaft. The motor looks like it might already be shutdown and just windmilling...
DeleteNose spinner for the turbine/engine......

ReplyDelete9 - I could watch that stuff all day. Kid got his head knocked pretty good too.
ReplyDelete#2 happened to me once. I had to hose my face off for 20 minutes before I could see again. Not fun.
