Amorous cicada blamed for causing car crash in Cincinnati The insect flew through an open window, striking the driver in the face on Monday night, Cincinnati police said. The motorist drove off Riverside Drive and crashed into a utility pole, damaging the vehicle. |

You might want to avoid I-45 between Dallas & Houston in the near future ... Especially if you see lots of JB Hunt Semi Trucks... Google’s Waymo Self-Driving Trucks to Haul Cargo in Texas |

Apart from the poor video quality which is "endemic" with cheap CCTV some people do mount their cameras in a most jaunty manner so the slightest whiff of a breeze sets them rocking. Pretty dumb place to park with plod so close behind, and no real attempt to take the bend. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Another reason why you should not trust A.I. and/or computers to do the navigation: Mayflower, the AI ship sent to sail from the UK to the US with no humans, made it three days before breaking down |

https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/23/us/pedestrian-bridge-collapse-washington-dc/index.htmlSurely the quotes below are mutually exclusive. A pedestrian bridge that likely was struck by at least one vehicle collapsed onto Interstate 295 in Washington, DC DC Fire and EMS said in a tweet. "We don't have any structural concerns about the bridge. It was last inspected in February," Mayor Muriel Bowser said. Or, maybe I am wrong and bridge designers, builders and inspectors, don't have to take into consideration the effects of a fully laden truck crashing into the bridge supports. |

We here had the same complacency until a sleeping road driver sleep drove off a road bridge embankment near Selby to block the path of a speedy train... A second train then added yet more carnage... Since then, (hopefully) all roads have been assessed and upgraded with wagon-proof barriers to stop any further 'collateral damage' from road vehicles. The crash protection added to protect bridge supports for our motorways look impressively expensive for the retrofitting... All an old SEP that came back to haunt? Stay safe folks!

That's about what I get on my current car. My tank takes around 42 litres to go from 'reserve' to full: I wonder how large theirs is? |

Some people should never be allowed out on the roads. Driver running late for work mounts his Subaru Impreza onto a Kia after failing to give way. I hope that he had good insurance. Cheers. |

Dude probably can't get a 5G enabled cellphone to work in the valley & mountain area. Only in California do you see things like this... Things that needn't be said: Don't plonk a massive Starlink disk on the hood of your car |
