You need concrete and inert masses to keep cars out of places where they don't belong. Looks like the parking lots are located less than two meters from the shop front; almost the same level... no barrier. |

It's a ID4, a full electric. He was probably just looking for a place to plug in and didn't have a long extension cord. |

Anyone want to buy a 'slightly dented' car? Train Obliterates Car-Hauling Semi in Texas — No Injuries Reported A quiet Sunday morning in Schertz, Texas, turned chaotic after a freight train barreled into an 18-wheeler loaded with vehicles, scattering debris and shutting down roads for hours. The crash happened just after 10 a.m. at Schertz Parkway and FM 78, where the semi ended up stalled across the tracks with no time to clear out before the westbound train struck. |

Chicago delivery robot crashes into bus stop, shattering glass You know that moment when your GPS confidently guides you into a dead-end alley? A Serve Robotics delivery bot just had that experience with a CTA bus shelter in Chicago’s West Town, except instead of awkward three-point turns, it shattered glass across Grand Avenue’s sidewalk. |

How Did This Happen? Semi Crushes Car Into Colorado Gas Station *" crash photos in above link linked article ** A semi-truck crash at a gas station in Littleton, Colorado, left a passenger vehicle crushed against the building, caused part of the wall to collapse, and sent one person to the hospital in what could have easily been a far more serious incident. The article also says that the truck driver and the company he works for have had numerous safety citations and traffic accidents! |

https://www.youtube.com/@BoneheadTruckers Thanks for the link! Sadly these Boneheads don't belong behind the steering wheel of any vehicle. Recently here in Texas a 'trucker' was stopped on a road side safety check by the State Police and was wearing shorts and sandals! |

What's the issue? That's the usual clothing and footwear of all long-haul truckers in Europe... mostly poorly paid Eastern/Southeastern Europeans.https://www.youtube.com/@BoneheadTruckers I think many even wear comfortable felt slippers behind the wheel. Road side safety checks are almost non-existant here (just the mandatory annual technical inspection attested with a sticker on the license plate). And I doubt that highway policeman know all the different tech inspection stickers on the various license plates. There are trucks from twenty-something different European countries you will see here regularly on the Autobahn. Impossible for highway patrol to check them while simply passing a truck. If you don't drive obviously recklessly (e.g. drunk) or with visibly poorly secured cargo, no highway patrol or the few Federal logistics authority cars (to catch toll evaders) will ever stop a truck. |

Any foot cover that can slip off the foot will and then jam in the foot pedals. Now as to the shorts, that is just a danger to the driver themself. Zero self protection if something goes wrong. Of course it looks very professional when they pull into the customer! |

(Translated from Norwegian to English) Norwegian 14-year-old stole bus – drove to Sweden A Norwegian 14-year-old boy stole a bus and drove across the border to Sweden. He was stopped by Swedish police in Stenungsund. According to a travel calculator on the www, it's approximately 131 US Miles or 210 Kilometers - a 2 hour and 17 minutes drive between Vestby, Norway and Stenungsund, Sweden. |

I also think women shouldn't wear these ankle tie sandals when driving a car. My argument just was: there are almost no police patrols in Europe. So a sober 14-year old can easily drive a stolen bus for hundreds of kilometers, even to a different country (open borders) without attracting attention of policemen. Just like lazy reckless truckers in felt slippers won't. |
