The white Escalade at the end was so perfectly timed.

You're a bad person...

[–] madcaesar 23 points 11 months ago

Easy there Satan

[–] Optomistic 12 points 11 months ago

Goddamnit. Take my angry upvote. You son of a bitch, well done.

[–] Mamertine 75 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I love that there's just an endless supply of Escalades exiting the freeway.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure the drivers waiting for the light to change love it

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Getting stuck at a slow-strobing green waiting for the train of clones to pass by is easily the worst part of driving.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In Utah people try to bypass the warning lights and get killed by trains every day here. Some people try to 'drive around' the oncoming train if you can believe that. Yes, Utahns really are that stupid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yep, can verify. I live in Utah too, and that’s not all. Go to Utah county if you want to be constantly tailgated (no matter how fast you go), and Ogden is great if you love j walking (lived in inner city Ogden for years and it’s like a past time or something). Ogden is the only place I’ve been where I have sat at a red light and as soon as it turned green someone started walking across the street in front of me…someone she had been standing at he light. It’s happened to me twice, both times in Ogden.

Utah has some pretty good roads, but not the best drivers (I may or may not be included in that)

My cousin in Salt Lake would complain about the slower, bigger, and more full of kids in the SUV, the more likely they are to stay in the passing lane.

The Utah County part strikes me as odd. They’re like my go-to mnemonic/metonym when I want to imagine a US county that values non-individialism and social cohesion no matter the emotional cost. Maybe they value social cohesion and bumper-to-bumper cohesion equally. Hmm.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago

That's true in Salt lake also, constantly tailgated even though I go about 5 miles faster than the speed limit. I realize to a Utahn that's intolerably slow, but what really is irksome is that they are too stupid to understand the peril of tailgating someone like me, who is prone to slamming on the brakes just to see if they go flying through their own windshield.

As soon as they started putting TRAX (our public train transport) into place, my prediction was Utahns would be too dumb to get out of the way of the trains. And every day there's another story about a person who got run down by a Trax train because they ignored the warning lights or just didn't look to see if a train was barreling down on them.

But you're more lucky than I, I don't think I've ever seen a 'good' driver anywhere in Utah.

I read that as throbbing green, which I support.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

They don't call him the green giant for no reason.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

All we know for sure is there's more than 1. The previous one could be driving very very fast to get back up there and repeat.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 11 months ago

Aah, dangit! My lemmy client doesn't have a progress bar for videos and I kept watching it wondering what the fuck is happening

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That left front wheel… ooof

[–] db2 28 points 11 months ago (3 children)

And it was like that the whole way which means it's likely why flying down an embankment happened in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Yeah all told the driver and the car did great. Good job to luck showing up as well

[–] june 4 points 11 months ago

Yep, looks like it was already fucked before going off the road up above.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

To me it looks like the wheel was dragged by the ground on the way down, and only after the jump in the end it got shaped like a nope

Edit: rewatching it makes me uncertain, though. Maybe the original is the only way to be sure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

OMG they just keep coming!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

What are the odds that 45 similar SUVs crash in the same way? That road must be a deathtrap.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Was this filmed in Utah? Because this stupid dangerous stunt is the kind of thing a Utah driver would do without any care for anyone else on the road.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nope. Regina, Saskatchewan.

Yes, I know what joke you are going to make...come on get it out of your system. I'll wait.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)
[–] Warl0k3 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

In canadian, "regina" is pronounced like "vagina". Saskatchewan, everybody.

[–] Candybar121 5 points 11 months ago

hehehehe you said "Saskatchewan"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Can we blame newfies for it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

newfies

Is this Canadian for non-Canadian speaker or something? And does it rhyme with aboot or with mangina?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Newfoundland is like Canada’s Florida

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Hey, at least we aren't as bad as Alberta.

Oh yeah, I went there!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Might help to look up pronunciation

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I see stuff like this in Austin also, whenever traffic gets bad, they drive off into the grass to switch roads.
