#5: In the US at least, a bicycle being riden is legally considered a vehicle. Illegally riding on the sidewalk, she deserves what she gets. If she wanted the rights of a pedestrian, she should have gotten off the vehicle and walked it across the street.
Anonymous 1:08 look before she caused the accident. You don't pedal while walking.
Anonymous 6:13, in the US if you're riding the bicycle, it doesn't matter if you're in the side walk or not. Consider if she was on a motorcycle. Being in the crosswalk on a motorcycle would not put her in the right. Riding a bicycle is legally like riding a motorcycle in this case.
Riding on the sidewalk varies by state. In mine, it's not only legal, but recommended, except in two specific cities.
There are literally hundreds of miles of "dual use" trails as well as sidewalks to ride on in my area, and I use them exclusively. No way I'm getting out onto the street on anything with less than 100hp in my right twistgrip.
#8 NYC subway during a serious rainstorm. Seems that system has been so "wonderfully" maintained (need I add a sarc tag) that some of the water pumps are pre-1930's and often don't run at all. Seems the old white guys that used to wrench them into action have retired out.
#1: This is an extreme example of why puddles on the road scare me. You just never know what's hidden under the water. #5: Without assigning blame here, especially given that the yellow car is stopped, if I'm a cyclist (that's never happening) I'm gonna pay attention to my surroundings, and stuff like "Will that car stop or will he crash into me at 30mph?"
# 1 I've got photos of me walking thru the "puddles" (up to my knees) In the Australian Outback ahead of our truck. Most everyone did this except the truckers.
#10) So dumb I can't even...just stop hiring morons to save money, people. The concrete truck driver should be part of the lawsuit. He should have refused to pour the moment he saw the flimsy wall forms and lack of deck shoring. Morons.
Even if the operator shuts the pump off, all the concrete on the downside of the pipe still comes out. There can be about a ton of concrete depending on the pipe size.
A friend of mine had a house built with giant styrofoam legos that you stack and fill the vertical holes with concrete. The concrete company brought a truck like that, which made a hell of a mess as the operator had trouble figuring out when to shut off the flow as each column filled.

ReplyDelete#10 - Someone didn't calculate the form capacity right.
Who needs cell phone cameras when you can remember every dumb thing you ever did?

ReplyDeleteBugger, you wanker!
DeleteShe was walking it, not riding it.
DeleteWhether she was pushing or riding the jackoff driving wasn't about to stop.
DeleteYou still cannot force your right of way.
DeleteWhere did that guy at the end come from? Look close, she was peddling, not walking. But usually, those in a crosswalk have the ROW

ReplyDelete#6 Nerdrage, distilled.
#10 is going to hurt the budget a little.

ReplyDeleteNew Orleans has pumps that were installed 1913 and as far as I know they are still in use.

ReplyDeleteSeems appropriate to me.
DeleteThe pour could have collapsed because the guy on the left may have over vibrated the concrete.
