We need common sense
We need common sense legislation to ban irresponsible drivers from owning cars and put people in jail for not properly securing cars from unauthorized use. The governor could send letters to all licensed drivers in the state reminding them of the changes in traffic and operation laws and demand they be responsible owners and operators of their vehicles.
I see what you did there
And I don't even disagree
Agreed. I can't think of an
I can't think of an easier way to save lives than by taking dangerous drivers off the road. The parallels between the entitlement of gun owners and dangerous drivers in this country is evident and disturbing
Please expand?
I'm curious about your correlation and would like to understand better.
I suspect Kinopio means that
I suspect Kinopio means that both cars and guns are deadly weapons. And both are too often treated with cavalier disregard for their safe operation, both by the weapon's owner and society as a whole. And even when an operator kills or injures a fellow citizen with one of these weapons, the punishment is rarely commensurate with the risk to the public.
Not good enough
I would like to hear from Kinopio. You don't need to answer for him, he's a big boy, if he makes comments he should be ready to clarify if necessary.
He's pretty great at pulling pins and tossing grenades like the one above. I would like some clarification from him as to what exactly he meant.
That would be nice
A friend of mine toppled her jeep like that - with the help of a hit and run driver.
(in other words, it may not be the driver of the flipped vehicle who caused the flip)
Any driver who leaves the scene of an accident should be required to immediately forfeit their right to drive.
Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!
Anon, you left out the part about giving out free locks to secure cars.
Popular place to have accident
This can't be more than 20 yards from this accident.

Highly predictable I think
Car in same place facing the wrong way. Turn just isn't driver friendly. No picture - don't take pictures while driving.
Nasty curve there...
It's a nasty curve there. It starts at one radius and then tightens up significantly as you approach the No. Harvard St. underpass. If you go too fast starting into it you'll be in trouble later. Add a wet road and top heavy SUV and somebody's likely to have bad day.
Even worse
Realize 3/4 of the way through the turn that your exit is on the right and traffic has backed up into the lane and you're in the wrong lane too.
Considering everybody is
Considering everybody is going AT LEAST 50mph there (and on the even more dangerous part after the bridge where you have to change direction), I'm surprised there aren't more of these.
goddell? reports?
I don't believe a goddamned word he's saying.
Jeeps are dangerous if your
Jeeps are dangerous if your driving fast on a sharp turn, they will instantly tip right over, the pillars on these jeeps are unsafe.
