Which then eliminates plausible deniability and assures a more reasonable application of existing laws.

I fucking hate most people on motorbikes. If they waited for a safe place to pass I'd be fine with them flying by, but they squeeze through the stupidest, tightest gaps ever and I have to look at them more than the road to know where they are and what they're doing.

Yup. Agreed.

It sucks how motorists can justify why they break the law like that, but when motorcyclists and bicycle riders try to explain why they do certain defensive things in urban settings, motorists are all bitchy and threatening about it. At least in your situation no one can really hurt you for what you do.

I just wish everyone could follow the law and get along. We're all just trying to get home.

thats because the majority of motorcyclists i see around houston are typically speeding 15 to 20mph more than the limit or even higher(ive seen some that had to have been doing 120), weaving through traffic, or in bumper to bumper traffic ride on the lane divider riding between cars or in the emergency lane. Generally endanger themselves and everyone around them. I've seen some do wheelies and indos going 60mph on a congested freeway.

I don't have any problem with bicyclists i generally give them room, but don't seem that all that often.



As for blowing a .08 after two beers, its entirely possible if you get tested right after you drink. On the breathalyzers that you can buy they typically say you have to wait 15 minutes after your last drink to get an accurate reading. Of course the one time i saw someone with one(we were at a family friends farm house all spending the night before anyone gets any ideas) people were trying to see how high we could blow it so people would take a shot of hard liquor and then blow, the readings would be off the chart, but then if you waited it would come down to a reasonable level.

haha, I love the work ethic. And I just laughed thinking about a fat Mac doing karate.

Back on topic though. That picture was funny, the rest were sad.

I guarantee you the average motorcycle rider is paying a lot more attention to the road than most cagers. Get over yourself.
 
What the fuck. Charlie is supposed to be the fat friend. And Mac is overly concerned with his appearance (he only works out his glamour muscles, according to Dennis). He would never become fat.

Fat Mac makes absolutely no sense. That's alright, though, since It's Always Sunny has pretty much sucked since season 4.
 
First of all, Big Mac is awesome. Looking forward to the next season of It's always Sunny.

Second of all,

The drinks from fans hiked Dunn’s total alcohol consumption to three beers and eight shots over roughly four hours, which La Torre said would equate to a BAC of about 0.19 for Dunn’s weight.
Click to expand...

3 beers and 8 shots will get you that .19 (at Dunn's weight) over 4 hours? During my earliest, immature college days that's what me and my friends called our 1 hour "pregame". A double shot every 15 minutes with a beer in-between, though usually around the 3rd beer it got too much...

But yeah, I agree with the cops' assessment. He probably got a bunch of "closing time" shots and the alcohol didn't kick in until they were on the road. I can see his BAC rising and his stupidity increasing as he continually sped up to 130+ mph on that road until his friend told him that their turn was right up ahead and then...you know.

BAC Calcs aren't 100% accurate, there is variability, but they are based on science.

To quote the DOT Natl Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "the value estimated will be correct for most individuals."

http://www.craftbeer.com/attachments/0000/1170/Computing_a_BAC_Estimate.pdf

If someone was really dehydrated, their BAC would be higher than usual for a given number of drinks.



If you watched someone get a DUI after only 2 beers, why would you say don't drive after having more than 2 beers ? Shouldn't your advice be, don't drive after drinking more than 1 beer ?

I find it hard to believe a full grown man blew a .08 or above, after consuming only 2 beers. If true, it's an outlying data point. FYI, you can get a DUI charge without failing a breathalyzer. If you're driving crappy and the officer smells alcohol on your breath, they can write a ticket. Maybe that happened to them.

Yeah I'm sure MANY people have gotten DUIs after having "a few beers" with dinner. Of course they all deny how much they've really had to drink. Ever watch COPS ? 90% of the time the DUI offenders tell the officer they had 2 drinks.

I happened to my brother, he had TWO beers then about 30 mins later left the bar, he blew a .081, and got a nailed a DUI. Looked your state website, a question commonly asked is will TWO beers get me a dui, and the CT website says dont bet your license on it.
 
Death Dealer said:
Are you kidding me ? Yeah I'm flippant about my law breaking.

You've obviously never driven on a highway in my city. Everyone speeds. You go 55 in the slow lane and you'll get tailgated, honked at, and flipped off. :D
Click to expand...


Just because other people are speeding doesn't mean you should :P If you tell that to the cop that pulls you over, it won't save you from a ticket.

Even if that's true, which I doubt, it doesn't make their actions any less dangerous.

I'm not going to waste my time explaining how wrong you are about that. You obviously don't ride or you wouldn't question what I said.

And lane splitting is not inherently dangerous if done properly. It's actually the safer option than getting surrounded by a group of vehicles with no escape route should one neglectfully invade your space.

Wow, really weird to see Knoxville without a hint of a smile. O_O
 
I think the biggest question here is why the fuck was he driving 130-140 mph? I realize he was in a Porsche which was highly capable of achieving such a speed, but a person would have to be utterly, utterly wreckless (zing!) and possibly have a deathwish to do that -- even while highly intoxicated.

It's fairly obvious he has no concept of riding. Even when I'm in the cage, I pay WAY more attention than before I got a bike. Also, lane splitting is far less dangerous as you don't become the creme filling when someone gets in a rear end accident/

All of them have rolling retests where you have to blow again. Usually every 15-45 minutes.

edit: Doh, double post!
 
Here is Big Mac not in a mourning setting.

The beard! The Hawaiian shirt!! This is going to be hilarious. I laughed for ten minutes straight when I first read that Rob McElhenney decided to gain 50 lbs for the humor of it all. Oh lord, that is going to be funny.
 
Crazy. I was at my GFs apartment less than 2 miles from the crash site when it happened. Apparently people (scumbags imo) have been looting the crash site for pieces of debris to sell on the internet.

It's also surprising to me how many people have been emotionally moved by this, considering hating Bam & Co and their bar is the "hip" thing in the college town and surrounding areas of West Chester. Everyone you run into has a "Bam is such a dbag" story about running into him.

What's a "Cager"? or is that a word only reserved for elitist, douchebag "riders" and not for me?

Apparently.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cager

lol

a popular word among motorcyclists and bicyclists for four wheeled motor vehicle drivers. The term is often used in a derogative sense, because the car body effectively forms a cage, isolating the said driver from having to interact with other road users.

The term was coined by motorcyclists.
Click to expand...

I've had zero issues with motorcyclists in the Seattle area.. of course they probably are relatively rare compared to warmer, less rainy, less hilly places.. but it's also illegal to drive between cars.
 
wtf I got spoiled on it's always sunny in THIS fucking thread? I was planning on not seeing Fat Mac until I watched the season premiere.

fuck this shit.
 
News ARCHIVES: Ryan Dunn column ... 'This rant is about you said:
By RYAN DUNN

Editors Note: Below is a piece that Ryan Dunn wrote for CC (Chester County Cuisine and Night Life) in 2009.

Ok, Ok, Ok … here we go, this rant is about YOU!!!

You don't know who you are because evidently, you’re an imbecile. You’re the forgettable human in front of me in the left lane, aka "passing lane,” that is way too oblivious to Earth to recognize your insignificance in the scheme of things. Not only are you an annoyance to everyone on the road behind you, but I assume a total let down to your immediate family and loved ones.

My only joy in life is the assumption that someone somewhere who is directly connected with you is in complete disapproval and embarrassment. I assume your parents have left much to be desired based on your imminent and obvious lowering of expectations. But I being a total stranger am eager to see you die in a truly disturbing, yet entertaining way.

Well, talk to me while your in traffic on your way to work, yelling at your windshield and punching your steering wheel like an idiot, all because some lifeless idiot can’t seem to muster up the thought process to recognize he’s not only useless, but affecting a good percentage of this town with his lack of point!!

Let me preface by saying, I’M A TERRIBLE DRIVER!!! Yet I can understand the concept of other people when it comes to commuting. I am what I like to refer to as a "race car driver," with that said; I’m an amateur driver in the Sports Car Club of America series (SCCA).

I consider myself a good /or very good track driver, yet on the road, I’m a d@#k! With that said I drive like a bat out of hell and while doing so, try and stay out of other people’s way and/or life. I may drive like a very large and extremely scary thing is chasing after me (or there is a very attractive case of beer on the horizon), but I don't affect other drivers while engaging in my very entertaining convenience. The human who, in his or her head, thinks that all lanes are created equal, can truly be run off the road in a fiery ball of flame.

You, single handedly, are creating all the traffic you are currently stuck in! If you were to get out of the way (while using your turn signal, which is a purchase option evidently ... that’s another story) and merge to the right/correct lane, we would all get to work on time, then out on time to hang with our significant others … or get to the bar in time to complain about our jobs, wives and most of all -- YOU!

I can only assume, you’re also the useless human who stops at the end of the onramp to "look both ways," my God, you are horrible in every possible way!!!! Do you think for a nanosecond, in your pea sized brain, that the state of Pennsylvania was just throwing away concrete and the most logical way to get rid of it was to create a meaningless merging third lane for no other reason than to park on the end of it looking stupid with a crowd of very disgruntled fans behind.

If I were a religious man, I’d currently be saying God bless you, but I’m not, and I’m asking in the most sincere way -- PLEASE DONT!! You’re not worth the blessing, whether theoretical or literal, you SUCK. And I’m saying right now, anyone in the car with you is worthy of an uncomfortable death as well.

There, I said it. Your welcome!

I used to lane split infrequently. Recently a law was passed legalizing it in my city. I do it all the time at red lights now. Last year around 10 Harley riders were killed when a inattentive heavy commercial vehicle operator plowed into them as they waited at a stoplight.
Click to expand...

To be fair, this could easily kill a person in a normal car too.

I have no inherent problems with people on motorcycles. But I have seen a lot of bikers doing a lot of stupid shit. Not that I haven't seen car drivers doing equally stupid shit, but it just seems slightly less stupid because they're slightly more protected. But I've more than once seen a guy on a motorcycle doing a wheelie at 65 miles an hour on I-95. Both times I was genuinely hoping he would fall.

No doubt there are a lot of idiots out there. We call them squids.
 
The WBC is going to picket?

Something good has to come from that. The Jackass guys and WBC people . . . it will be a contest of who can be the bigger obnoxious assholes.

Wow that's creepy, this along with the Youtube video of Bam's mother talking about Dunn's reckless driving habits, add to that his numerous speeding charges and drunk driving charge he got a few years ago by crashing his BMW, still.. add to that the course he took apparently to wise him up from drinking and driving again... saying "Not surprised" is an understatement.
 
"And I’m saying right now, anyone in the car with you is worthy of an uncomfortable death as well..."

This is just too damn creepy.

Someone somewhere in Pennsylvania, USA is removing all the pins out of his Voodoo doll right now.

vvYes, I know.

Wonder if he put the blinker on while flying at 140 and missing his turn at that speed. Also, I find that whole article hilarious in a post-death-irony way.

This is a man who wrote this because normal drivers are preventing him from maxing out his Porsche and being able to go 140.

For some reason, I am finding it hard to garner any sympathy for this person. He not only put his life in danger, but he put other peoples lives in danger as well. Imagine if instead of swerving into the guard rail, he went into the opposite lane and hit somebody with the ferocity that he did? All because he wants to drive "like a bat out of hell".

Considering how bad Sunny has gotten. Can't blame him, the show needs all the help it can get.
 
Skimming the thread, maybe I missed it, but didn't find the actual alcohol level mentioned... and police seem to confirm it at 0.194 or 1.94 per mil. That's a lot, and in my eyes places him into category of 'filthy DUI scumbag'. At least he killed only 1 person besides himself.
