Not wearing a seat belt?...

Or is there even more damage to a side of the Range Rover that has not been shown?...


Still all sadly mindlessly ridiculous.

Stay safe folks!

Passenger speaks out
Answers a lot of questions.
Personally, I hope the idiot collects a Darwin award.
Wonder if his family will stick to their "mechanical failure" B/S.

Florida Woman Performs Irish Jig During Sobriety Test
Video footage showed the deputy watching as the woman tried to walk along the line. However, she held her arms out and began dancing.

At one point she told the deputy, “Look, if you’re going to arrest me just do it now,” and continued arguing with the officer.

When she tried to walk the line again, she broke out into what appeared to be an Irish jig. Her dance then morphed into a ballet performance

I would want to be on any plane with this pair up front.

Pilots suspended after cockpit fistfight.

Two Air-France pilots have been suspended after a physical altercation in the cockpit, reports say.

The pilot and co-pilot exchanged blows as they flew an Airbus A320 from Geneva to Paris in June, Swiss news outlet La Tribune said.

Members of the cabin crew intervened after hearing the noise. One crew member stayed in the cockpit until the flight landed safely....

If my experience of other tomato, and other soft fruits, growing countries can be used as a yardstick, then this is probably not all that uncommon in California.

Traffic moving again on I-55 after 18-wheeler crashes, spilling Alfredo sauce.

Cheers.

Tesla faces Autopilot lawsuit alleging phantom braking
Automaker accused of hiding malfunctioning tech from drivers.

At issue is Autopilot's Automated Emergency Braking (AEB), which is supposedly designed to automatically slow or stop the vehicle if the feature is active and its sensors detect an object in its path. The suit alleges that Tesla knew of a problem where phantom objects would allegedly cause vehicles to unexpectedly slow or stop "for years, including before it put the class vehicles on the market."

15:45 UTC / 10:45 AM CDT UPDAT/Edit just heard on news that pilot has crashed plane and is is in police custody

This is an ongoing situation..

Pilot threatens to crash small plane into Mississippi Walmart
The pilot of a small plane has threatened to intentionally crash into a Walmart in Mississippi, local police said on Saturday, leading to an evacuation of the store.

The police department in Tupelo, Mississippi said they were notified about the situation earlier on Saturday and had been talking directly to the pilot.

"With the mobility of an airplane of that type the danger zone is much larger than even Tupelo," the police said in a statement on Facebook.

They added that Walmart and a gas station had been evacuated and people had been dispersed.

Social media videos, which Reuters could not immediately verify, appeared to show a small plane flying in circles at a low altitude.

The Daily Journal said the pilot worked at the Tupelo regional airport and the plane was currently flying near a Toyota plant.

Boys and their expensive toys that they can't handle.

$25 million Pagani supercar wrecked on camera.

Another expensive lesson, but will the lesson be learnt?

Cheers.

I think that a firefighter will be going back to driver training.

Footage captures moment fire truck and tram collide in Sydney’s CBD.

I'm sure that he soon learned that you give way to things that run on rails.

Cheers.

Internet pranksters send hundreds of cabs to Moscow street, cause gridlock
'Improved algorithm' set to keep miscreants at bay, web-based taxi service promises
Around three lanes of Moscow’s Kutuzovsky Prospekt — a major multi-lane road that runs east to west leading into the centre of the Russian capital, and is so broad it rarely has traffic jams — were filled with vehicles whose drivers were all apparently looking for the same fictional fare. The blockage apparently took 40 minutes to clear.

In a statement, Yandex Taxi said: "On the morning of September 1, Yandex Taxi encountered an attempt by attackers to disrupt the service - several dozen drivers received bulk orders to the Fili district of Moscow.

A good news transport story, Leeds: M62 motorist brings sick driver's car safely to a stop
A car whose driver had fallen seriously ill while at the wheel on a motorway was brought to a halt by a quick-witted motorist who had realised his plight.

John Barlow said he spotted the Audi going slowly in the outside lane of the M62 near Leeds on Saturday. The driver was slumped with a bloodied face.

Mr Barlow managed to get his car ahead of the Audi and eased it to a stop before getting out to help the man.

It emerged the driver had suffered a seizure but was well enough to go home.
