Maybe he was already late for work and just needed to get back on the road ASAP? Only do the urgent stuff now, and come back to get anything else taken care of.

Years ago when I worked for a Mercedes dealer in the parts department, I delivered some brake pad wear sensors to a Les Schwab tire shop. I saw the car on the hoist, and the rotors were worn to the point that you could see the cooling vanes on part of the rotor, and the brake pad backing plates were about the thickness of foil. I don't know how many miles you would have to drive with the brake pad warning light glaring in your instrument cluster for things to have gotten that bad. Or the noise, or the terrible braking.

I need a rear dash cam again. Watched someone behind me at a stoplight hitting his bowl and sipping on a Miller Lite tall boy. I made a turn and took a different route.

An oldie but a goodie, this is in Chicago. In the full video you can hear terrible scrapes as the tow arms crunch the rear bumper.

I feel like that's an easy way to add an extra fine.

Thankfully the truck driver saved the day. The bus driver is being charged.

The two best days in a boat owner's life are when he buys a boat and sets that boat on fire.

Saw another car get whacked by the crossing arm by the C-Train crossing -- that makes two in a row at that intersection. gently caress sake, people, don't stop on the goddamn Xs, they're there for a loving reason. Then he just loving sat there when the light turned green for some reason.

Is this one of those things where you're supposed to ask if they drive fast enough will they put out the fire?

"Well we were headed to the boat launch already, may as well go dunk it before the trailer is destroyed."

Longer the boat is on fire the less money he loses in the end.

This is why you need a way to quickly detach a trailer from the cab with a flick of a switch, I'd do that and take the next exit. The perfect getaway.

I was behind a teenage looking girl in traffic today who spent 99% of her time staring down at her phone and only when there were 7-8 fresh car lengths open in front of her and someone behind me would lay on the horn (I wasn't in a hurry or I'd have gone around her long ago) would she notice and move. By that time there'd be 3-4 people pulling in in front of her and she'd panic brake immediately. I wish I had a dash cam and her parents' address to send video to.
