Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

What makes this story even sadder is the NFL and the players union negotiated ride sharing incentives to prevent this shit from happening.

Personally, I think the NFL needs to be held partially responsible.

 

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it think. It’s tragic for all involved but anybody that thinks it’s possible to prevent bad things from happening without everyone living in straight jackets is delusional. Freedom of choice inherently comes with the certainty that some will choose badly. Two lives ended that night and there’s not a thing that can be done to make it so it can’t ever happen again.

 

It’s not a question of prevention. If it were, we should already be there. It’s a question of a shitty decision making that led to the horrible death of an innocent bystander.

 

No question about it. I just wish more sober people would drive with the knowledge that they hold the lives of others in their hands since you don’t have to be going 150 to kill someone. Not gonna happen though.

 

Dude the roads out here during rush hour feels like everyone is trying to be Brandon from Nascar. Fucken scary. I seriously feel my blood pressure rise everytime I get behind the wheel

 

I feel like there’s a lot of pressure to drive. Whether it’s leaving your car in a sketch place, facing a tow for leaving over-night, or the stigma of being too drunk to drive—that sounds dumb but it’s like admitting you’re no longer in control, we could do better at encouraging people to find an alternative. I am hopeful autonomous vehicles will help give people incentive to leave the driving to someone else. I would be grateful if cities, especially those with nightlife scenes, would allow overnight parking when people feel they’ve had too much to drink.

Simple things would go a long way.

edit: And let’s not forget the stick. Harsher penalties for first time offenders. Including loss of driving privileges.

 

I personally would like to see it much more difficult to pass both written and driving tests along with more causes for suspensions. It’s too easy and once passed soon taken for granted. It’s a privilege with responsibilities not a license to commit mayhem. Drunk driving is just one of the many idiotic ways people put others at risk.

 

Penalties are already pretty harsh yet people still drink and drive. Autonomous vehicles are a great solution, however can't the driver still be cited if found intoxicated? Regardless, if the drunk driver is not controlling the vehicle then there is less chance of an accident or fatality.

 

We should just jave a stupid meter for stupid drivers. If we have a watch that can tell us when to eat sleep and shit well, its not far off. Maybe not more rules, if we have to many theres to much call for policing them and stangles those who actually have to drive for a living(its already in place and taxes us physically as well as our pocket books).
Hows the thought of just taking you license on the spot if found under the influence. I say take the license and its a minimum of a five year loss. After five years then you get the hard test with a blow starter for five years. Of coarse those all get paid for by said drunk idiot.

 

Penalties aren't harsh compared to the rest of the world. .5 in many (compared to .8 here).

Also, I by autonomous, I mean something like Zoosk--no driver at all.

 

But.... That doesnt stop people from driving. You know how many hit and runs i have witnessed on my street and nearby. Its fucken ridiculous. You know dey runnin cuz dey ridin durty

Lol. Funny when you see clowns with led bars on cars and they ride around with it on during they day

 

All I know is, they need to crack down, put harder fines/penalties on DD, electronic device and just straight up idiot drivers out there. I see so much of it all out there, its unreal.


Yeah I know, injured by truck driver, call us........

 

Anyone up for a mid week trip to a trail around sac/sierras? Wanting to get out in the next couple weeks.

 

If we are talking mild wheeling and fire roads I would go. But if it’s serious wheeling I would be forced to decline. Stock truck.

 

Depends on the dates, but I'm interested.

 

Fuckit! (Yes one word)
I might as well. I got nothin else as if yet.
"Say when"

 

Late to the party but i have a 2012 stock head unit i bought to swap in my 2006, but turned into a project that stayed on the shelf. $200

 

Anyone got a lead on a trailer for a 12ft aluminum boat? Scored a deal and just need a trailer to get it around.

 

Oooooooo a new boat, eh? Exciting! Can’t wait to see the bass photos pop up.

 

good friends dad scored a 12ft with trolling motor, passed on the deal to me. Gonna build a tiny bass boat over winter!
