Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / November 2007Red light camera catches Darwin at work
http://www.whiotv.com/video/index.html Click on, "search," and use the term, "red light camera," and it should show a link to the video. Sorry for no direct link, bu I couldn't find a way to estract a direct link to the video.  SignatureS&DDAM indicating that it runs red lights: "You're making a left turn right behind some semi or fedex or ups truck and you can't see the light but you follow the truck anyway while he slowly makes the left and when the light is finally visible to you it's red." --Speeders & Drunk Drivers Are MURDERERS, 8/8/07 Ref: http://tinyurl.com/26x4o2 Message ID: 13bl47n4ut7fib6@corp.supernews.com > http://www.whiotv.com/video/index.html > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Sorry for no direct link, bu I couldn't find a way to estract a direct > link to the video. So much for the effectiveness of the red light camera preventing this sort of thing. Got a nice clear picture of what happened though. >> http://www.whiotv.com/video/index.html >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >So much for the effectiveness of the red light camera preventing this >sort of thing.

Hey now, you can't blame the Trucker in this instance. The 4-wheeler clearly ran the red light. Let's not do what GPSTroll does and tell flagrant lies simply to impugn someone else. >On Mon, 19 Nov 2007 08:38:40 -0500, "Murderous Speeding Drunken >Distracted Driver (Hector Goldstein)" [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >Let's not do what GPSTroll does and tell flagrant lies simply to >impugn someone else. No, I'm not blaming the trucker. The guy was driving his car to one of gpstard's classes when the event occurred. Anyone dumb enough to be one of gpstard's students is dumb enough to drive under a trailer. -- Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. - Admiral Hyman Rickover, U.S. Navy On Mon, 19 Nov 2007 10:33:48 -0500, "Murderous Speeding Drunken Distracted Driver (Hector Goldstein)" <drunk_and_distracted@the_wheel.com> wrote: >No, I'm not blaming the trucker.

Why didn't the truck have a side barrier to prevent such an "under run" accident occurring? Surely this would be a requirement in the most litigious country on the planet!! Sir Lex: > > http://www.whiotv.com/video/index.html > > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > accident occurring? Surely this would be a requirement in the most > litigious country on the planet!! Nope. No truck I've seen has such a thing. As poorly as some RR crossings are in the US (i.e. the grade crossing is up to a foot or more higher than the highway), sidebarriers would cause a lot of trucks to get hung up on the tracks. Overall, though, IMO, if someone is stupid enough to drive up under a truck like that, they deserve what they get. Signaturenecromancer Deadly Psychopath.

They are not that close to the ground in my memory, but it has been some years sinve I've been overseas or even looked at picture of a truck so equiped. Guess I'll go a googling... http://www.underridenetwork.org/Portals/0/bestCrash_1.jpg http://www.emercedesbenz.com/Images/May06/11DetailsOftheMercedesBenzSafetyTruck/ 102501006b1925.jpg > Overall, though, IMO, if someone is stupid enough to drive up under a > truck like that, they deserve what they get. Well I think they should be there because it's not always some idiot in the car that is the problem, but the trucker or a collision punts the car of someone entirely innocent under the semi. >> Sir Lex: > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >years sinve I've been overseas or even looked at picture of a truck so >equiped. Guess I'll go a googling... It's not that they are necessarily close to the ground; it's just that in some locations the grade itself was either designed or fabricated by morons. Over the past 10 years or so, as time permits, they've been doing some clean up of the mess in this area, but as it is, we're not to the point where trucks can clear all our local crossings. >http://www.underridenetwork.org/Portals/0/bestCrash_1.jpg >http://www.emercedesbenz.com/Images/May06/11DetailsOftheMercedesBenzSafetyTruck/ 102501006b1925.jpg [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >the car that is the problem, but the trucker or a collision punts the car >of someone entirely innocent under the semi. -- Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. - Admiral Hyman Rickover, U.S. Navy >> http://www.whiotv.com/video/index.html >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >accident occurring?

The cops are saying "driver inattention". Uhm, ya think?? If this mope ever drives again, I'm SURE he'll be looking out for red lights AND large trucks - as he should've been doing in the frickin' FIRST place. John B. |
