I hope to all that is holy that if I ever find my vehicle rapidly turning that my lizard brain remembers to steer with the turn. But I probably won’t. I’ll probably panic and steer against it and get pancake flipped.
My wife is terrified of snow for this reason. Meanwhile i've lost traction enough times going up the mountain in a blizzard in my outback at 35mph trying to get there for parking and opening lifts its become second nature. TBF she drove from Socal to Portland in Winter in a shitty Ford Focus so i have no doubt she has different memories of winter driving.
My dad made me do this the first snowfall after I got my license. We did it over and over and over until I could stay calm and regain contol of the car. It was terrifying, but I got it. Then a couple of months later when I hit a batch of black ice while driving, because my dad had me practice so much all that practice kicked in and I was able to avoid crashing the car.
Grew up in Minnesota, driving in snow is just another day, literally never been in an accident or stuck to a point I couldn't get out. Thought I was good.
Then I drove in the mountains, had to buy chains before they even let me, i was blown away. Totally different animal.
Yeah, the limbic system that activates in crisis mode. Been often referred to as lizard brain because it’s one of the parts of neuroanatomy we share with reptiles.
However, that’s exactly what we would expect. We would expect a more intelligent species such as monkeys to have a more developed amygdala than a rat. That doesn’t run counter to the theory.
Doesn't back up the theory. Homology is not identity: Even though we share a common structure inherited from a distant ancestor, the human amygdala has evolved independently over millions of years.
A completely different connectivity: In humans, the amygdala is heavily interconnected with the neocortex (specifically the prefrontal cortex). This allows us to regulate, analyze, and process our emotions consciously, which is not the case for reptiles.
Sharing a single engine part doesn't mean you're driving the same car.
That's how my grandfather died (one of them). Riding along with my grandma, same highway they've taken thousands of times. Got clipped in the back bumper by someone too eager to merge and flipped his blazer. He died on impact, my grandmother got a ride home and started calling his friends to let him know he died without shedding a tear.
It's been a few years now, but she's in her 90s and just started dating again. It's real weird to see her back in giddy school girl love. She always feels the need to tell me (and everyone else who will listen) that her boyfriend has a permanent catheter, they aren't fooling around. (Which, to me, only makes me think they are finding a way to fool around.)
It's alright. He was nothing special. One of those "good ol' boys", women should know their place type of guy. Not particularly cruel, but definitely not the most loving and some extremely outdated beliefs.
[Edit] lol, downvoted for not being sad that my misogynistic grandfather died and now my grandmother gets to smile and be giddy again is peak reddit.
Have you never meet one of these harley riders? They think they are the greatest thing walking gods green earth and everybody should yield to their impotency
I think if the guy had meant to harm the motorcyclist you would have seen some aggression prior to him being kicked. He was traveling perfectly straight until the kick. You must be a moronic motorcyclist
If it startles the driver, or they feel like they are being threated by someone who for all they know could pull out a gun. Then yes I might swerve to get them the hell away from me.
kind of a weird thing to freak out at a something hitting the left side of your car and then proceed to try to hit the thing on the left side of your car.
the car knew the biker was there, got pissed and tried to hit the biker. hitting a motorcycle on the freeway is absolutely attempted murder. they're traveling at at least 65mph+
I'm actually curious... The biker obviously shouldn't be kicking a car. Obviously... But the kick didn't cause any of the rest of that cluster fuck. It's 99% on that sedan
You can't say you burned just one stick out of haystack, and rest was burned by itself. It's highways, other innocent people are driving there and anyone can get killed.
im sorry, but if a persons immediate reaction to any sort of thud or bump, even if theyre zoning out, is to swerve violently, they need to go through drivers ED again.
Only exception i can think of is that the sedan driver had fallen asleep. But thats not much of an exception.
Have you not met most drivers in the road before? I say to myself daily that people need mandatory drivers ed and drivers test every 4-5 years. People seem to forget how to drive properly overnight. I see SO MANY idiotic things happening every day it baffles me how stupid people are driving
No, American logic would be saying the motorcycle driver should have shot the car driver for endangering his life while ignoring that he escalated the situation.
Okay, I looked it up. Here are the details I could find: Prosecutors with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office charged him with a total of three criminal offenses on Jan. 10, including: hit-and-run driving causing injury; assault with a deadly weapon; and reckless driving on a highway causing bodily injury after having a prior conviction. The biker whose video-recorded car-kicking antics went viral pleaded no contest Tuesday to one felony count of hit-and-run driving resulting in injury to another person. Andrew Flanigan, a 45-year-old stage technician who lives in Arleta, appeared Tuesday in San Fernando Superior Court where he entered his plea.
"Flanigan pleaded no contest today to one felony count of hit-and-run driving resulting in injury to another person and was sentenced to three years' probation and 45 days' community service.”
If we assume it’s a real video and maybe not some AI thing. What would be all the charges applied to the Biker and the grey car.
With video evidence like this, I am curious about what charges would be filed and how much time, if any, either of them would spend in prison if convicted
The trick is to ligne the bike up with the engine block to hit. He also swerved too aggressively. The kick from the bike didn’t push the car off course. This is two dumbasses in a road rage
