Does the policy apply to car drivers as well? They have WAY worse rates of traumatic head injury.

More than a year passed with no news about the crash or charges against the driver. Then, in the winter of 2022, the Waller County District Attorney quietly closed the case without a public announcement. Because the defendant had been handled as a juvenile, the court proceedings and final verdict were sealed. Had the case been dropped? Was there a settlement?

The boy would soon graduate from Waller High School, walking across a stage in front of a large crowd. The victims wondered what level of remorse he felt in the wake of the crash, and whether he might go on to impart some measure of good on the world?

“I don’t think they ever could prove it was intentional,” DeToto said, getting into the legal semantics of recklessness versus the desire to do harm. “I’m not defending rolling coal on anybody. But that’s probably not going to be a Class A assault where you could go to jail. It’s going to be a Class C. It’s just like a ticket. Is it offensive? Yes. But it’s a different level than intentionally hitting a group of bikers.”

If we are talking about the rolling coal kid, he did get off with an oopsie.

Nope. In New York, the law for vehicular manslaugher/homicide only applies where DUI is involved. Perhaps you are thinking of regular homicide/manslaughter, but those require proving intent – which as previously stated is hard to do where an automobile is involved.

The max penalty for 2nd degree vehicular manslaughter is only 7 years. In theory he could be prosecuted for 1st degree or even aggravated, but those require DUI or multiple fatalities.

Numbers are almost identical to 2019 Amtrak ridership, so kind of a stretch to call it a new record.

Workplace shootings are nothing new. Where do you think the term Going Postal comes from?

Probably going to require front-facing camera. Similar to how they dealt with the rear visibility issue.

That’s really a minor issue compared to all the other challenges. The main one being the secure passport/luggage control the UK requires for any station stops.

What are passengers expected to do with this info?

they solve far more problems than they introduce.

It is worse for pedestrians, who now have twice as many traffic signals to wait for. It is worse for cyclists, with “gauntlet” bike lanes running between through- and right-turning lane. It is only better for cars…so hardly the “best” interchange in existence.

I think he means take a right onto the freeway on-ramp, just before the diverging part.

Some cities will install bike racks for merchants if requested. In fact, some cities require bike racks as part of any planning permit.

It is “fuck cars” content because 1. the lack of proper bike infrastructure is what led to the crash, and 2. making road victims have to hire lawyers just to get their medical bills paid.

Most likely one contraflow bike lane, plus one car lane with sharrow, like this.

Also, bike needs to be in the center of the lane to avoid the door-zone.

While I know things are generally more expensive in Switzerland, $685,000 is crazy expensive for just 18 kW (48 panels).

This type of collision involving a sober driver and drunk pedestrian is included in the tally of alcohol-related traffic crashes. As a result, it exaggerates the problem of DUI – which the road lobby likes because they can blame traffic fatalities on the “epidemic” of drunk drivers rather than their dangerous stroad designs.

The low-emission zone only reduced total car traffic by around 5-10%. The reduction in driving to school is much higher than expected.
