That video seems a bit grim.

Both are school bus ones.

I may or may not have threatened to “fuck up” someone’s car after he blew past my daughter’s school bus as she was getting on board (and the red lights were blinking) the other day.

I’m happy to report he absolutely stopped for the bus 24 hours later.

They were from Austin, weren’t they?

Not compared to Houston...

And they say the Ridgeline isn’t a real pickup!

Why so salty about Austin?

I mean, I’m not saying you’re wrong...

If you like getting hit by trucks.

Oh well, at least the light rail takes revenge on our crappy drivers:

As a New Yorker, it befuddles me that pedestrians pay attention to crosswalk signals instead of the 4000lb metal bullets bearing down on them.

You’re supposed to ignore crosswalk signals and just go when there’s a gap in traffic. The pedestrian adjusts their speed so that the car doesn’t have to slow down.

Because their Tacos attack children

But only one is a Taco...

More often, it’s likely an F-150 or a Suburban that kills children in Austin.

C’mon, man! One Taco won’t kill your kids!

It was acting more like a Mustang than a pickup.

Nah, Mustangs go after people on the sidewalk.

PatBateman > For Sweden

I’m in Houston now, but yes, both of those incidents in the video occurred in Austin.

EL_ULY > For Sweden

Austin doesn’t have real tacos.

For Sweden > PatBateman

Then they must have been visiting from Austin

For Sweden > EL_ULY
11/02/2016 at 14:29

That sure looks like a Taco

PatBateman > For Sweden
11/02/2016 at 14:29

Perhaps he was originally from Austin. He lives down the street from me.

I really am a nice neighbor 99.99% of the time.

Wow. I that Honda driver makes a great case for “punishment fits the crime”. They should put the perp in jail until the kid can drive, then let the kid drive into the perp at 45mph.

nermal > marshknute

Yep. The cars are s’posed to stop. However, the pedestrian is also s’posed to look both ways before crossing the street.

When in doubt, it’s better for the pedestrian to assume the person in the vehicle is drunk / old / text messaging and prepare to yield if needed.

“I didn’t even see them” said the drivers about the big yellow bus with the flashing red lights.

Berang > EL_ULY

Austin doesn’t have real Mexicans.

Berang > facw

I like how almost every one of those collisions happened when a driver made a left where a left is illegal.

Maybe light rail is a good solution for getting bad drivers off the road?

What? Your view is Houston is better than Austin? For shame, For Sweden, for shame.

pues abuelita soy to nieto ‘mano, neta sin changarro los gueyes!

basically translates to, I agree :]

“Mexicans” (rich chicanos) in Austin won’t understand even with Siri’s help.
