An investigation determined that the crash was “intentional” and charges are pending, Pennsylvania State Police said.

    isn’t it fun to think that ANYONE could decide to do this at ANY TIME? Literally all that’s keeping you from being crushed is people constantly deciding specifically not to do so.

    God i am so glad i decided to stop using cars unless strictly necessary.

        Probably because they don’t have to spend as much time around idiots who decide to do this sort of thing.

          But if other people are responsible for deciding to do this how does their decision on driving make any difference.

          Is somebody drives into my house with their car I don’t see how my driving licence has any bearing

            If you live in a city where it is possible to live without a car, a smaller percentage of the population drives, thus you don’t have to be around as many drivers per capita, so the chances of encountering someone like this are lower.

            The point is that by staying off the roads i put as much distance as possible between me and cars, which makes it very unlikely for me to be hit by one.

            Look up the statistics, cars are one of the leading causes of death in the US and certainly not a small cause worldwide.

      Doesn’t not driving mean traveling just as nearby to cars, but without the protective metal box around you?

      Or do you mean a specific incident where you considered crashing into the roof of a house but decided to stop driving before you did?

        no? i just walk/bike/use public transit.

        Keeps me much further from the cars (or inside a very big car) and it’s more enjoyable anyways.

        Also wops i should have written “decided to stop being driven” as i have never driven a car myself lol, gonna edit that

          Ah, you must live somewhere nice where the bike lanes aren’t just the leftmost 1/4 of the car lanes.

            Yeah, we have 2-3 meter wide shared sidewalks for bikes and cyclists, very cheap and easy way to guarantee that people can get by without a car.

              meter

              That explains it. In places where they use feet, but the bike lane only gets like one, maybe two of them tops, and that’s assuming there’s a bike lane in the first place and that there’s any enforcement when a car just parks right in it.

      I don’t know about everyone else, but attempting murder isn’t something I have to talk myself down from on a constant basis. Might want to see a therapist.
