one of these days some guy is going to SPEED UP trying to scare his passengers into thinking he's hitting a real person and sure enough, guess what's going to happen.

That won't be 'pavement Patty' he's bulldozing through.


You canadians have issues.

ha ha, i don't know man, it just seemed to fit.

rev wouldn't have to worry though, i'm sure he could talk one of his many stalkers in to taking the rap for him... a-la Matt Leinert style.

Rev = unconscious murderer
Jedi = Voice of reason
Atilla = Down syndrome

Anyone catch this bit:
As for drivers who become can't process optical illusions, Dunne argued that they have no business on the road in the first place.





Am I allowed to get grammar **** on a jouralist?




Terrible idea imo. There are such a thing as a speed bump that wrecks your car when you take it too fast.... which will never condition people to run over kids.

2cp.

, that was hilarious 2tone.

This is not needed, there are speed bumps around here you do not want to speed over. I once got into an altercation in my old neighborhood when some dip **** was speeding through. He flew by, I screamed "slow down *******", he stopped and yelled some bullshit, I yelled some bullshit, he backed up, I walked into garage and got breaker bar, he drove off.

LOL ...

I would prefer some other images mentioned in the comments, like a cinder block or a giant pothole. An image of an Abrams tank with the gun turret pointed at ya would do the trick too. Heck, if it was an image of some foxy girl showing some leg, I'd even stop

Nice!

Hard to believe that they expect you to get use to running over a child....

The politicians in Vancouver are a bit 'different', 'special'
