There's a purple guy every morning trying to get into the AFB around here since the line backs up into the highway itself.

pileup in Montreal. One thing I never understand about pileups, people just stand there, and the next car comes along and ping pongs off other cars, and the people are nearly(and sometimes) crushed by it. Get off the road, and on to the shoulder.

This is where Waze comes in really handy. Also not driving like an idiot during a snowstorm. Actually I wouldn't be driving at all. Snow loving terrifies me more than anything.

I always drive under the assumptions that everyone else on the road is:
- texting or messing about on their phone
- actively trying to murder me

On the flip side I want to murder everyone who doesn't use turning signals. I also want to murder people that use turning signals the second they turn. Hey fucker, signal isn't doing poo poo if you turn it on as you're turning. It's like the one way we can communicate on the road and it takes a loving finger to flip on. Use it.

It does seem like it takes off before the other car completely falls over, so maybe somebody was paying attention!

Unlike some poor fucker yesterday. I was on the highway when the left lane was closing for construction, the traffic seemed to be moving smoothly so I merged right but it soon became clear everyone up front was braking really hard. I, as well as the guy behind me, stopped without issue, but soon enough I heard tire screeching and a bang from 3-4 cars back. On the upside, we were stuck there long enough to see that this didn't escalate to a huge pileup. Still, had a slightly lovely feeling over being part of this whole chain of events, even though the moron should've been watching the road.

There's one spot on my commute that ALWAYS has traffic stop to a crawl because of the braking build-up from a on-ramp. I make it a point to begin slowing down about a half mile away (as soon as I see the buildup) and just kinda idle to a speed that'll get me to where the traffic is stopped around the time it's picking back up in order to minimize / avoid a full stop for me and everyone behind me.

I'm not even sure the on-ramps are the culprits. It's right here southbound 675. Around 5:10-5:20 it ALWAYS loving just comes to a stop before picking right back up.

Dump truck's going at about 5mph on the highway without flashers or any other indicator, gets rear-ended by a tanker truck full of gasoline which instantly turns into a big FAE.

I can't figure out how the dump truck driver was the casualty while the tanker driver survived.

Open windows? I have no idea either.

Huge EXPLOSION as driver, 30, is killed as he crashes into an oil tanker driving the WRONG WAY on an interstate
A driver was killed instantly when the truck he was driving crashed into an oil tanker while heading the wrong way down the interstate.
The 30-year-old victim was engulfed in a fireball after the collision on the I-75 outside Dayton, Ohio which forced the closure of the north and southbound carriageways.
A video showed the moment the two vehicles exploded in a giant orange mushroom cloud.

Fortunately, the driver of the tanker, who was carrying thousands of gallons of gasoline, escaped without serious injuries.
The Dayton Police Department confirmed the 30-year-old man was driving the wrong way down the interstate when he crashed into the truck.
According to WHIO-TV, the southbound carriageway will be closed for several days as engineers repair the extensive damage to the road surface caused by the inferno.

I can't help but feel a lot of problems the Americans in here experience with intersections and stop signs would be solved by replacing intersections with roundabouts.

We (well, our consultant) just started putting together design for our city's first roundabout and we put up a website ahead of time to start getting that public involvement going.

Every single e-mail we've received has been negative. Defending this is going to own but holy poo poo I'm dreading it already.

That's more on the city to approve the development with inadequate parking.

Holy gently caress I wish I had a dash cam right now. Driving home from work and on I-675 northbound there was a police chase. Single cop chasing a pickup truck. Except the pickup truck was driving in reverse. When they came into view i couldn't process it until they were closer and sure enough here comes a crazy loving lady driving in reverse while being chased.

Good start to the weekend.
