When your day goes from bad to worse

An 18-year-old moped rider was struck by several vehicles on a New York City freeway on Monday, and his body was dragged about a half-mile before being discovered, the NYPD said.

*****

They allow mopeds on New York freeways?

  1. I am going to say no. Mopeds are not allowed on freeways.

  2. Most democratic cities are so unruly, it approaches lawlessness.
    Scooters, 4x2s, 4x4s, go racing up and down city streets constantly. Cops can't/won't catch them, so they persist. The stench of reefer pervades the entire island of manhattan.

  3. Yeah, could be a moped (or 50cc scooter) ridden by a 3rd world Hispanic that rode them EVERYWHERE in their home shit hole. Apparently had depth perception issues, though, not anymore.

  4. Allowed?
    New York City?
    In New York City EVERYTHING is allowed, except of voting for republicans.

  5. "Moped" has become pretty much a generic term for any small scooter. Vespa makes highway legal scooters, but but you'd be nuts to do it what with all the "me first!" drivers out there.

  6. NYC. The real question is. Where'd the dude steal the moped from?

  7. "...before being discovered..."

    Translation: Before the corpse got so wedged under the vehicle that it would no longer operate.

    Believe me, you do not stop on the Cross Bronx Expressway, or anywhere in the Bronx, for any reason, ever, under any circumstances, period.

    1. Years ago I was driving thru the Cross Bronx Expressway nd got atuck in traffic (surprise!). There was a broken down (or more likely stolen) car near an overpass. Two of Obama’s valedictorians were stripping it, placing parts into a shopping cart. Two more were on the overpass hauling things up. A NYPD cruiser was right in front of me, never flinched.

      NYC is a place I driv around or through if I have to. A few 25 Megaton weapons are required fix it…

  9. Just a couple weeks ago, while sitting at a red light just outside DC, two of the usual suspects splitting the lane. Ran a red light on one of those tiny motorbikes that stand about 18” high.
    That’s why you can have 10 kids for generations, and never break 13%.

  10. Driving on the Cross Bronx is dangerous in ANY vehicle, much less a scooter or a Vespa. That's a suicide decision right there. Not the brightest bulb I can assure you. I've seen motorcycles darting in and out of traffic on NYC highways a lot and surprised there aren't more fatalities like this. To Henk, re: voting for Republicans, please note that Staten Island is almost completely GOP
