I didn’t see this in the notes yet. So. If you crash cars with someone. You stop, you pull over to the side if you can, you don’t leave. If someone is hurt or crying, call 911 or your emergency number. Never hurts to get checked out. You write down the other person’s license plate and car make and model and colour, and get their driver’s license number. You write down what happened and how it happened. If you both can drive and no one is hurt you can go after exchanging information (don’t try to agree on what happened. Don’t make deals with the person.)

When you get home, call your car insurance provider. Describe the damage to your car and any injuries and how it happened. They’ll ask for the info I told you to get above.

You’ll probably have to take your car to a registered provider who can get an insurance approved quote for repairs.

See your doctor if you are still shaky after a couple of hours. Whiplash gets worse for the first few days so you might think you’re fine but when the adrenaline wears off, you’re not. Symptoms include headache dizziness nausea as well as neck and back pain.

If you see an accident happen, don’t leave. Be the one to call the emergency number if people are injured or not getting out of their car and walking around. Give your phone number and name to both people or to the emergency providers and expect a call from the insurance company. They’ll ask you to tell them what you saw. Be honest.

Drive safe out there, and be prepared. You can call your dad later and he’ll be so proud of you for handling it.

i really do think about this video every single time i’m on the freeway

i think about this every time I’m behind a truck

Finally, they have a witness. A survivor of an Autopilot mishap who can testify that the driver was using Full Self Driving mode at the time of the crash.

See, this has been impossible thus far because (1) survivors are rare, and (2) Teslas are programmed to automatically disengage Self-Driving milliseconds before the crash so that when investigators review the telemetry it clearly shows FSD wasn't turned on.

And due to this technicality, Musk has been able to claim Autopilot has never killed anybody. Until now.

Happy Accident

*Pause mid sentence to glance at the tire on the ground* “I don’t where the fuck that came from.”

the red light (2023)

When the GPS lady tells me to make a U-turn I do it no matter what. I'll do anything women ask of me

Damn!

I looked it up, for those wondering this is how that exit is designed:

At first I was like "wow idiots" until the actual map. You would genuinely never expect the freeway to just suddenly be a normal road like that. You would still be looking for the proper exit and preparing to BEGIN slowing down by the time you notice only from the cues of your surroundings that you've already "left" the freeway and that fucking overpass would make it impossible to see those cues coming until you're in them?!?!

I’m shitting at these tags

yea this is Montreal, do you want to know how bad Montreal drivers are? only on the island of Montreal, is it illegal to make a right turn on a red light. because they don’t fucking look. it’s the only place I’ve ever been that has lost it’s “turning on a red light” privilege

but yea powdered snow is slippery af and the island is hilly and full of narrow streets. not designed for wheeled vehicles.

Montreal also has pedestrians with no sense of self-preservation, cyclists with no sense of self-preservation, every road sign either hidden behind a tree or within an intersection, detours inside of detours, and a choose your own speed limit on every major artery. The unofficial name is the City of Cones.
