Well, yeah, it’s kinda the same thing here, just that the legal consequences are different. If, heaven forbid, you killed someone who jaywalked and you weren’t negligent at all, you’d risk vehicular manslaughter instead of homicide at the least?

It’s a shame that too many in both groups lack respect for each other. Car drivers should realize that they’re sitting in a very comfortable weapon, compared to the unprotected person out in crappy weather, so the driver shall be alert and considerate… and pedestrians shouldn’t take suicidal chances just to save a couple seconds.

E-scooters are considered bikes in the traffic laws here, and bikes need to yield to cars in crosswalks. But it’s not often that scooter drivers yield to cars, but most car drivers still stop for them regardless.

Pedestrians don’t always have the right of way, but the majority of drivers don’t want to kill pedestrians, and so most will still yield… Isn’t that why jaywalking is a crime in the US?

Sweden law says that cars are required to stop for people at the zebra crossings (övergångsställe), but at passageways without zebra (gångpassage example) it’s the pedestrians who shall yield to cars. Basically, a passageway is to be considered as a part of the roadway (you’re not supposed to run out into traffic), whereas a zebra crossing is a legal extension of the sidewalks (cars supposed to yield to people on sidewalks).

However, way too many pedestrians don’t understand the difference. In practical terms it shouldn’t make a huge difference, because you should always reduce your speed and be alert when nearing any kinds of crossings, and we usually have speed bumps directly before many passages… but still.

If someone collides with you at a zebra walk, they’re almost always losing their license, and maybe a couple years in prison if you got badly injured. But if you walk out into a non-zebra passage and a car doesn’t see you in time, you can actually get fined if the police are feeling cheeky, as you didn’t yield to the car/your behavior thus caused the accident.

So no, pedestrians are definitely not menaces. But if we want to continue to reduce traffic injuries, it’d be nice if both groups were a bit more concentrated and respectful.

I know right, I have no idea where a tram is going.

That’s also why the NSA and such stores sooo much encrypted data. They most likely don’t have the power to break it yet, but they will, and/or utilize when flaws are found.

I did this, and then my then-gf desperately searched for a cable one day…

Nicotine is synergetic with amphetamines, double win.

If you have no idea who’s using your car to break laws repeatedly, shouldn’t it be impounded?

Weird how a photograph wouldn’t be able to identify a driver… sure, you can cast doubt, but unless you’re wearing a mask it still should hold up in court…?

Except if the crackhead wrote what the AI wrote, he’d be prosecuted for conspiracy, solicitation, or whatever.

But Ukraine has a navy…?

Nah, but many are too dumb to say no if the opportunity were to present itself.

My keyboard psychologist also says that person has some kind of codependency issues… but if they’re truly happy, all’s good and I wish them well.

There’s nothing wrong with snitching if someone is unduly threatening you.

I never get back pain, because I get it all in my shoulders and neck instead.

How does that work? Aren’t you still paying quite a bit of US taxes, and then also paying UK taxes?

Nice thought, but the law says “sex at birth”, they probably know it from social security records or whatever. And your “incorrect” license isn’t valid while waiting for appeals… and it’s not like they’d prioritize it anyways. Messed up situation.

Just get a greyhound… it’s basically the same thing, except when they then turn around, and push you out of the bed.

Is Violet8 the evolution of Mickey7 ?

I think this particular lawsuit is legitimate and should proceed.

How? I’m not a lawyer, but the law says that gambling is when you’ll get “something of value”. The law defining “something of value” includes “exchangeable for money”… But you can’t exchange loot box rewards for money.

I don’t like the lootbox scheme, but it should be coded better into the laws instead of gambling on the courts.

sends a company to check if they still work every year

Wtf, isn’t it just pressing a button…? Though I guess you avoid the risk of people forgetting.

It’s also required in Sweden, but the building owner is responsible for installation, whereas the people living there are responsible for testing that it still works.
