It’s a bad idea, they could be made out of abs plastic and sheathed with sheetmetal reflective areas. I might have broken my wrist. I dunno why I did it, I just decided I was going to smack a traffic cone at 60mph with my hand.
Good thing I took my fitness test earlier today (nailed it BTW, with a sprained wrist and swollen ankle) and yes, now I have 2 bad wrists. Funny part is I took the paint off the cone, with my wrist. I have full mobility of all my digits minus my thumb, which I can move, but only slightly.
Edit: I didn’t take the picture, I don’t use the phone while driving. Both my hands are in the picture

Did you knock the cone over?

Your only mistake was trying to knock it over. You’re supposed to pick them up, toss them in the back seat and try and collect one from each municipality you go to.
[Good friend of mine may or may not have about 10 of these from various cities throughout SC and NC. Depends whose asking.]

I did that but hit the barrel with my suburban. It was dark & I didn’t see anything. Broke my headlight & light bezel. Whelp, won’t be doing that again.
I associate it to swinging a traffic cone or barrel at 60 mph to your hand. Or like swinging a baseball bat at your hand.
Good luck out there. Stay tuff.

Always keep your hands on the inside of a moving vehicle.

The real question is why your taking selfies at 40 mph ;)

Ouch. I can understand the desire to hit cones, but there are better ways than using your hand. At least this way it’s only a 2 second penalty:

You managed to find the one unsafety cone.

When did hitting anything at 60mph with your hand become a good idea?

That’s actually hilarious, I might have to go find it

Now exactly what would compel you to do that?

In college we had the bright idea to nail some cones in Hartford with the car door. I guess the DPW was expecting it as the cones were weighted pretty heavy, dented the heck out of the car door. Your pretty lucky you didn’t fully break your wrist.

There was some particularly idiotically placed traffic cones here on a major 6 lane for a while. One day I was driving and some passenger in a corolla opens his door to take em out.
10/10 was awesome.

Looks like you took the paint off the cone with your wrist watch

Google has proceeded to inform me that you now have cancer and are terminal. I am so sorry.

Stealing traffic cones was a
thing
when I was in high school. (Also in SC.)

That’s when my friend got started. I picked up a couple when I lived in Spartanburg. Ended up using one as a rack to hang my lacrosse gear on. My dad had collected a couple after a Charlotte Hornets game. But the goal there was to see how quickly you could pick one up and shoot it through the back window of the car into the back seat.

I’m not going to say I haven’t thought about it before. Thanks for letting me know of the possible outcome!
