Drake is not a fan of the zipper merge

There is a thing called police escorts, all you have to do is request in advance.

There are a number of comments I could make to that, none of them particularly constructive.

Drake’s Canadian; he can’t afford an escort

Maybe I’m missing something. Why is there no security upfront?

Why would the driver of the car edge into traffic if there was a possibility of getting separated from the three security vehicles behind?

One security car should be upfront to check the way ahead so if there was a chance of losing the protectee they could plan another route.

Really shoddy work.

Though judging by the open top transport I’m guessing not a high security high threat protectee. More attention seeking celebrity pleb.

I’m a little sad he didn’t run the guy over.

Because it’s not actual high security, it’s an obnoxious tough-guy entourage trying to put on a puffy-chested show of dominance.

Svend > sm70- why not Duesenberg?

There was no doubt it wasn’t high security.

Ye’, sorry. In the U.K. Security is a generic term from bodyguards to truck park gate personnel.

Bodyguard in the U.K. is seen by many as such a pretentious term.

Yeah haha.

And no doubt they’re “bodyguards”. The celeb in question:

Why not just let the fucking suv go? Who cares? Being one spot back in traffic is not the end of the world.

Rapping, oh lord. Piss poor poetry to an annoying beat.

If they need to stick together like that, then it’s the responsibility of the lead car driver to secure a MASSIVE opening for the whole train. None of this “squeezing in” nonsense.

Smart tactic would be for one SUV to edge into traffic and block it so everything else in the convoy can get on the road. If they have to be obnoxious, do it well.

I was walking my dog last night and heard someone honk and then a guy got out of his truck and said hit me bitch I fucking dare you come on hit me. Then I heard tires screech. Not sure if homie got hit or not but he definitely shut up.

I can see where the cammer would be a more than a little pissed at the idea of some pretentious, big-money big shot thinking he can do whatever the fuck he wants because he’s got money and some goons.

Sovande > sm70- why not Duesenberg?

At the end of the day he ended up behind the suv. Sometimes you can be in the back and still win.

“I can see where the cammer would be a more than a little pissed at the idea of some pretentious, big-money big shot thinking he can do whatever the fuck he wants because he’s got money and some goons.”

A few months ago I was prevented from getting on the freeway so Trump could gwt to his hotel. This is exactly how I felt.

Because the car with the camera had the right of way. Because allowing the entire entourage of douchebags would have hung him out in the intersection when the light changed. Because it wasn’t just one SUV, it was 3. Because being wealthy or famous doesn’t allow you to act like no one else exists.

Also a proper security detail wouldn’t have the person they’re trying to protect in the lead car, and would have another car in lead that would wait for or work to create a gap for the rest of the detail.

Takuro Spirit > Sovande
10/23/2017 at 16:56

If he would have stopped to let them in he would be blocking the intersection when the light turned red. He sort-of mentioned that.

Plus right of way, illegal right hand turn by the SUV driver, etc.

This is stupid. All of it from the shoddy “security” to the asshats in the SUVs faces. I would have hit them.

Oh don’t even get me started on the Trumps, I don’t even live in New York City and never have but the fact that he’s insisting on keeping a family residence there is costing us as taxpayers an absurd amount just in upfront security costs not to mention the exponentially larger value of the time he’s wasting for countless New Yorkers.

The roads in Washington DC were planned around presidential motorcades coming from and going to the White House so they don’t cause a big disruption. A motorcade causes absolute fuckery in New York.

jasmits > Sovande
10/25/2017 at 12:28

You’ve got a point in normal traffic situations, usually just letting someone merge is quicker for everyone than trying to play chicken. Here it’s the principal, if everyone as wealthy and powerful as Drake thought they needed a motorcade for “safety” it would constantly cause problems, there are hundreds of celebs at his level. If he was actually concerned about safety and not looking baller he’d be better off in a nondescript black S-Class anyway. And don’t try to say he’s in a droptop Maybach to interact with fans because you can clearly see his goon shooing a fan away at the beginning of the video.

Sovande > jasmits
10/25/2017 at 13:15

This is incorrect. The disruption is widespread when a motorcade passes. The difference is that it is planned and well executed.

Sovande > jasmits
10/25/2017 at 13:17

I didn’t even realize who it was in the car. My only point is that with all the crowing the guy does in the video, all the “you’re not getting in front of me” nonsense, they got in front of him. Right of way or not, he got himself all wound up only to be right where he would have been had he just paused for 10 seconds and let the guys go in the first place.

jasmits > Sovande
10/25/2017 at 14:50

Minimal might have been a better word choice. Either way, it(or any disruption really) fucks things up way more in New York
