Kids on bicycles (RANT)
-
Ok, WTF is up with some kids in this town? My family and I were driving on 32nd Ave (heading east) yesterday and when we got to the 25th St Intersection a group of 5 black kids (the problem isn't that they are black, I've seen plenty dumb white kids as well....I'm just pointing out the facts in this case) procede to cross traffic on 25th Street. The first kid timed it so the car traveling across the intersection would have to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting him, then the next 4 shot across in front of 2 oncoming cars and DID cause an accident. As soon as they got across the street they just turned around and pointed at the accident and started laughing/high-fiving each other before they took off on their bikes again. Then as I'm getting ready to turn towards my house (22nd Street) the little fucks zip across the road in front of me (I figured that was coming of course so I avoided them). I tell ya, it was all I could do to NOT accelerate through the intersection.
I did some dumb stuff when I was younger, but damn, if my parents had ever heard of me doing anything like that on purpose I still wouldn't be able to sit down to this day.

If it was me in my Bonneville I would have floored it and then gotten out and shit on their face

maybe the kids were actually trying to get hit and were just laughing because they didnt get hit even when they tried to.

Reminds me of this commercial.

I didn't call them in, I was hoping they'd get hit at the next intersection or so. They were probably age 9-13

i love that commercial btw...
i prolly woulda just hit them, technically they have the right away.... but if they are crossing when there not supposed too on purpose i think you could get away with it.

Actually, no they don't. They are on vehicles (yes, bicycles are vehicles) and have to follow the rules of the road....technically they are supposed to be driven on the street, not on sidewalks.

It's because the vehicle is not motorized that many of those are allowed. If they get caught running a stopsign or stoplight they can be cited just like any other driver though.
And yes, you can get a DUI on a bike. My friends car got hit by a drunk guy on a bike and the cop that arrived to help him gave the guy a DUI. Rather stupid if you ask me, it's a lot safer form of transportation than driving...only person you're really going to injure is yourself. They gotta get their money somehow though.

I had a group of bosians in west fargo do that shit to me yesterday when i was on my way home with my two kids. You would think if you saw a car coming then you would wait for it to pass then cross the road. Not in this case. So i proceeded to let them cross then i turned around to follow them. I didnt do anything to them nor did i yell anything to them. Sure was fun to fuck with their heads for a little bit.
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you
