Pet Peeve #465

Why the heck are you putting stuff up on a vehicular dashboard? Don't you know that someone is LOOKING through that area so as to avoid a massive collision! And that furthermore, have you noticed how those items tend to shift back and forth distractingly, in a way that may contribute to DEATH? Are you somehow unaware that there is a plethora of places to put extra items in a vehicle, such as the glove box, side pockets, or the floor in front of you? And how did you get such an item into the vehicle in the first place, why don't you simply put it BACK there instead of littering my car! My dear friend, get your crap off my dashboard!

Mexican Bike Race Hits a Snag

From the department of amusing yet horrific trivia: a Mexican bike race met with tragedy recently after the front runners were hit by a driver who was asleep or on drugs, or both. Police were on the scene immediately, and apprehended the suspect. One racer was killed, and ten others were injured.

The SA thread that sparked discussion over the event quickly and happily devolved into an argument between motorists irritated with slow-moving assholes who clog up traffic, and bicyclists irritated with dangerously vapid drivers of two ton death machines.

The one thing all agreed with is that the image is absolutely awesome.

If you are a driver or a bicyclist, please add your thoughts on the issue in the comment section below.
