Anything to avoid that ticket.
Beautiful evening.
Coloring inside the lines.
Cyberpunk.
Normal day on the highway.
To prevent a crash.
I feel like there is some sort of untoad story behind this.
Just make me a shower.
Never in a million years would I have guessed how this was going to play out.
My car people need me.
Cop forces the driver to clear snow off of the car!
My split in half truck people need me.
Older gentleman demonstrating some impressive driving skills.
That's his daily.
The Kelpies are a pair of 30-meter (100-foot) tall, 300-ton stainless-steel horse-head sculptures located in Falkirk, Scotland.
An suv is trying to exit from the passing lane.
The dangerous of road.

#2 as a driver I feel that. Gotta stay on schedule, on route.

I'm wondering if they tried to do the "block the truck in, steal it" robbery method and the truck driver just said "fuck right on off"

#12 I thought your caption ruined the surprise for me until it split in half the other way
Evenmoreuselessname
Would a truck split in half like this? Or like this?

#13 Yes, you clearly know what you're doing, BUT your head sticks out beyond the very simple roll cage. Please wear a helmet.

#2 Truck driver is nervously checking his mirrors, "What is that noise?".
butcherfan0301
I like how the person in the small car can be seen hitting the truck's grill. Dude, if the truck driver didn't notice hitting your car, your little slaps aren't going to do anything.

This happened to a friend several years ago on the interstate. She was pushed for a long time going about 65 mph (105 kph). She's been incredibly traumatized ever since.

#3 They reacted like that has happened several times already that day.
TerribleBot
Their working place is insufficiently seen; they must have more lights and serious speed limits .
deadtedw
They just calmly stood there like "Hey man, that reminds me. I ate at the new sushi place last night and it gave me some really bad diarrhea. Now THAT was a mess."

#10 I was in stop and go traffic and saw a fender bender, the poor young woman looked dazed an confused, got out of her car, cell ohne in hand and that car just started rolling down the hill and she was looking at it trying to process the whole situation, the members of the other car like older/ experienced and seemed level headed so I think they helped her out

#10 happened to me with a forklift once. Had to get out to open the warehouse door, so I parked it on the ramp in front. Found out later that other people knew the parking brake wasn't working, but nobody told me or roped it off. I see it start to roll downhill, right towards a drop-off where it would land directly atop several parked cars.
Chased after it, and luckily had the presence of mind not to try to climb in, but instead put my hand on the gas pedal, bringing it to a stop.
TerribleBot
Well Played.

#11 I wonder if they got a ticket?

"Unsecured Load"
TerribleBot
Good question. My guess is no, they were not fined, but it's Belgium here.
SnoiD
No way that’s Belgium?
TerribleBot
That's not what I said.
OddOod
Assuming US, it was probably a warning for "operating vehicle in unsafe condition"
Seriously, if you don't pull that snow off the top, it can easily end up going through someone else's windshield
cttypo
Saw cop giving a ticket, 18+ inches of snow on the roof. In CT last week

The most benign consequence is trailing a fog of snow that fucks up visibility

#3 what did he hit
TerribleBot
The compressor with the paint stock

Yea honestly I watched it a couple more times and realized what it was. The first time I thought the paint stock was the car kinda exploding

#8 Encouraging people to divert their car in your direction on a wet downhill slope towards collected water? What could go wrong?
prcal
And suddenly its not a fun idea. Ya I agree now that its pointed out, likely not a good idea.
LenWeirdracin
Hydroplaning!!
OmegaZen
If you know the physics of this, the car can slightly be pulled to the water but as long as they keep going it's not a problem. Problem only exists if they are trying to turn on a curve.
LenWeirdracin
Thing is, only one side of the car goes into the deep part & the water can cause steering pull effect on that side, make the car pull left. Bad tires, hidden potholes & inexperience could lead to a sudden over correction or loss of control.

#14 Took me way to long to see the snorkle.
Ivain
Yeah, my initial reaction was "That is not going to end well for you buddy". Then it kept going after almost floating, and I spotted the pipe, and realized this genius used a stovepipe to put a snorkel on his damn car.
InconspicuousLampshade
I was so confused until I saw it too.
whothefeckknows
Still not a good idea. That water definitely ended up in the AC intake and penetrated the door seals at the bottom at a minimum. Most of any regular car is not meant to be submerged under water even if exposed to the outdoors 24x7. If there are any electronics in the engine bay, you better hope to god they are potted.
whiskeywonka
Yea I assume he did more than just a snorkel but who knows
whothefeckknows
By the look of that snorkel, I wouldn't bet on it.

#10 I tell myself that he could definitely have jumped in and saved it knowing it has that small stop to get the back wheels over. But at runtime there was no way to know that and it was too much of a risk. I don’t know what I would do after that. Sucks bad man.
TerribleBot
There may also be administrative issues : was it a company car, was it well assured, ...
It helps taking less risks

#3 They needed signage ahead of the worksite, road flares, lighted batons if they want to direct traffic in the dark, and possibly a more tapered lane closure, depending on the speed limit. The car saw everything at the last second and you can hear the tires as they quickly change lanes to avoid the cones. It's possible they driver was speeding, but the road crew set up for failure
stercusmoriturussum
AI told me that yellow/white pedestrian crossings are only(?) used in Russia and Kasachstan. Which rules would in theory apply there?
DongleDingler
Depends if they value worker safety... So probably none

It's not about rules it's about what couldn't been done to avoid it.

#16 Eveythingy is wrong! - Bro cruising in the passing lane. Our guy passing the cruising lane.
PrPlump
No, guy in cruising lane is cruising, other dude is slowing down is all.
Burglarsonarceny85
And nobody stopping to help
017renegade
At least some people honked, I guess! 😅
Frobizzle
Yup both are at fault.
MechaNinja
The vehicle in the cruising lane could well have been going the speed limit for all we know, not so much passing as just ... driving. Certainly the moron changing lanes wasn't doing so in a brisk fashion, so I'd tend to guess they were also driving too slow for a highway.
BillyM00n
Wouldn't the one changing lanes be responsible for making sure the destination lane is clear first?
gablestout
Yes. Generally, the only exception is if a car was traveling so fast in the new lane that a reasonable driver would not expect it...which generally means they have to be driving recklessly.
gablestout
Wrong. There is no law that states vehicles in the right lane must travel slower than the left lane. You don't know what there speeds are, so you don't know whether anyone was speeding, in the first place. AND, even if the car in the left lane was going the speed limit, and the car in the right lane was over, it's not over enough to cause partial liability. Vehicle in the left land made an unsafe lane change and failed to use a signal device.
017renegade
I guess it depends where you are - but here where I'm from it's completely illegal to pass on the right unless you're on a ramp. If someone decides to slow down in the left lane that's legally like if they blocked the entire highway. And people here will treat it as such and honk the hell out of that idiot blocking the road like this.
gablestout
In most U.S. states, it's not categorically illegal to pass on the right, it's illegal to drive slower than surrounding traffic in the left lane (29 states) or to use the left lane for anything other than turning or passing (11 states) (of course, with exceptions for heavy traffic conditions).
Otherwise, you end up with situations on roads like this where a car travels below the speed limit in the left lane, but you can't pass because passing in the right lane is illegal.
