What are the laws regarding carrying a hammer 🔨 on your person in public?
I’m walkin’ here!
MR MAMDANI NUKE THESE CARS IMMEDIATELY ‼️‼️
Zohran doing Maoist landlord purges to NYC’s cars
Leave space for crossing you damn carbrains!
NYPD used to be super strict about ticketing for “blocking the box”. Like it was their favorite thing to do. I know it’s usually worse in midtown but I guess they’ve fallen off.
There’s virtually zero traffic enforcement in NYC
Ironic given that the NYPD has a larger budget than what most countries spend on their military.
Huh, as a visitor I always had a different opinion about NYC traffic but I’m probably not really seeing it. They had “don’t block the box” for years, it’s not like speeding is even possible most of the time, and there are so many people that you can’t help but deal with them
Try parking during the street sweep
I’ve been in two taxis that have gotten tickets for blocking the box in NYC 10-15 years ago. I guess I was surprised to see this tolerated.
I like those videos where people open the back doors of cars stopped on crossings and climb out the other door so they can cross the road.
Absolutely insane. You know how many of our fellow americans have guns and zero chill!? It’s not fair, but protest in a manner that’s safe…
It’s safe because the videos are staged
I’m a relatively risk averse person but this is crazy. Do you fret the same amount every time you head out on our increasingly deadly roads? I can’t imagine leaving the house if I believed my fellow citizens were one small inconvenience away from blowing my head off in broad daylight.
It’s crazy!? Really?? Again, the commentator is advocating you open some stranger’s vehicle while they are stopped at a light and enter it. You don’t know if they have kids in there, if they think you are carjacking them, etc. And yeah, they might be armed.
And what’s this false equivalency about it being the same as driving on the road? That makes no sense and is completely irrelevant. Did you even read the comment I was replying to??
Anyone who’s driven on american roads knows how aggressive people can be. And the comment is talking about entering these same people’s vehicles unannounced and not thinking they will react badly or panic in the moment!? Also, I think it’s technically trespassing in most states…
- bang bang with your hand gets the message across and is legal.
- you didn’t even tell ‘ey I’m walking here’
Counter-point: They can kill you by applying pressure with their toe. Alternate plan: Make them fear breaking the law in the first place…
You bang bang backwards after passing.
The all-american solution: point your gun at them
Not if you’re off to the side
Needs an additional lane so more cars could pass and not block the crosswalk
Tap for spoiler
/s
Remove the crosswalks!
Problem solved, job finished! Give all of you a pat on the back and let’s go hang out at the strip club!
Seeing this always makes me consider carring a pack of stickers on me that say something embarrassing on it
Gallagher used to tell a joke that every driver should be issued a suction cup dart gun, that shoots darts with a red flag on it at any car driving like an idiot. When a cop sees a car with 3 flags on the fender, he pulls them over, and gives them a ticket for being an asshole.
I thought all he did was smash large fruits and veggies.
Hell no, he was a really funny, incentive, intelligent comic. He liked to do bits on language, like when he talked about being bald, and said “People tell me I don’t have hair on my head because of my genes, but I got hair in my jeans, I need it on my head!”
Just hold one of your keys out as you walk by the cars on the crosswalk.
Crude but effective
Or a waterproof pencil. Just to warn the other drivers, that they don’t know or care for traffic rules.
If you know no fear, climb on the cars blocking the path :p
SMOOTH MOVE, EX LAX
In Switzerland, we just bang on the window
Never seen a car this blatantly ignoring traffic rules here. And if they do, not for long.
That’s why you go through the cars. Leave the doors open.
Seems like a place that need a crossing brick to me.
My dude, hammers are nice but keys are ubiquitous
It’s 45th St. That’s absolutely NOT what every crossing at 3rd Ave looks like. Stay out of Midtown if you want people who behave like others exist. Midtown is a hellscape
better than lower atleast, surely?
In my country the law states that in crosswalks without traffic lights, pedestrians must be given unobstructed access. I’ve considered getting steel tipped shoes and just kicking the violators with those. After all, it’s basically the same as walking swiftly. I bet the case would be even stronger with a green traffic light…
It’s gridlock so there’s some amount of plausible deniability. They’d claim they thought they could get through but traffic stopped
I wonder if their mayor can do something about this. I do understand that this is behavior that he cannot impose. But as a leader he could rally them to be “self-accountable” and more importantly vigilant towards pedestrians.
If they actually enforced pedestrian law, it would be fixed.
