shit. hit the pole at 50?
Support column built by the same company that makes telephone poles for GTA
I hadn’t played since it came out really and played some for the first time again last month. My dedecution has been if it’s metal, you can plow through it, if it’s wood it’ll plow through you.
And then all the sudden a few objects will defy these assumptions and you wind up driving through a fence and find a metal rod turning you into a pretzel.
The old shithead, leaning on the rear tire, is lucky his fuck-up did not start a fire. Revoke his driver’s license permanently.
Because everyone knows cars won’t start unless you have a valid license right?
That day is probably coming, where you tap your license to start the car.
That pole is incredible
That’s what she said
Thank you very much.
Absolutely amazing how intact the cabin is. Modern car safety is phenomenal.
I think that’s the driver at the beginning, sadly sitting against his wreck, but otherwise fine.
It is amazing how fast this car must have accelerated in this rather limited space to make an accident like this.
That’s exactly what I thought, that’s some serious acceleration.
What does this button do?
You can’t park there, mate
Thought that was blood at first 😱
Title is clean on Carfax
The spread of debris is honestly impressive.
Lots and lots of brittle plastic
That old corpse is the driver? Damn just stop driving dude.
Dude is very possibly a boomer, or I guess Gen X, douchebag, but he’s not necessarily much past 60. He looks like hell because he just totaled his midlife crisis car in memeworthy fashion and had half a dozen airbags explode in his face.
That’s a bit dehumanizing. Some people go grey early in life and the guy is probably crumpled over because he’s in shock. Someone with long grey hair deserves to be part of society as much as anyone else.
Second, I can sympathize with older people who avoid giving up their licenses. We have built an individualistic society that expects everyone to fend for themselves. It would be difficult to find/pay a driver every time you need something at the store, have a medical appointment, want to get your hair cut, want to take a walk by the water, etc. Even if they had the social network for it, they’d feel like a nuisance. Nobody wants to close the chapter on the independent part of their life, even when it is time.
Both my grandpas gave up their driving licenses this year after nearly killing themselves and other people, and were devastated. So I definitely understand how it feels. But they might’ve killed people. We really had to talk them through not driving anymore. Old people really must understand it’s not about them, it’s about the safety an life of others. I hope I remember that when I get old.
Yeah I agree that it’s a hard thing, even when it is ultimately the best thing for society. I think in our minds, we are always our best selves with the same capabilities as we have already had. It’s hard to accept if your reflex time is no longer adequate or if you aren’t as strong as you were before…even worse to accept it when dementia is involved.
I hope I’ll be able to set my life up to allow me to give up my drivers licence when the time comes, but I totally get why it is such a struggle for some. It’s going to involve moving to a more walkable area for me, and that’s got a big price tag that many can’t afford.
walking will sort their life out
Holey shit!
