⚠️ Content warning: This post discusses a fatal road accident in Thrissur. Dashcam footage from Puzhakkal shows a scooter with two women riders suddenly wobbling and drifting into the path of the car behind it. Moments later, both were thrown off → and one rider tragically lost her life. Our condolences to the family. 🙏 What stands out here is how quickly a loss of balance became a life-threatening situation → the scooter moved into the following vehicle's lane in under a second, leaving almost no time to react. This is a reminder for every driver: unpredictable two-wheeler movement is one of the biggest hazards on Indian roads, and following too close removes your only safety margin when it happens. How much distance do you actually keep from two-wheelers in traffic? Be honest. Share this as a reminder, not a warning after the fact. RoadSafetyIndia ThrissurAccident FollowingDistance StaySafe

Dashcam footage sent to us shows a van driver stopping on Kingsway in Holborn, getting out and repeatedly punching a cyclist in the road. We don't know what happened between them beforehand, or the extent of any injuries. Whatever came before it, this isn't the answer. If you witnessed this or have information, report it to the Met on 101. [date/time it happened]

A car driving straight into oncoming traffic. On an 80-100 kmph expressway. For 30 seconds. 🚨 Dashcam footage from Dwarka Expressway, Gurugram Aug 18, 3:01 PM shows a red Honda Amaze heading the wrong way on the elevated, access-controlled stretch no escape route, concrete barriers on both sides. It stops dead in the fast lane, forcing dashcam vehicle to swerve sharply to avoid collision. No crash this time. But on a corridor like this, wrong-side driving is one of the most fatal risks there is. The clip has been shared with Gurugram Traffic Police. RoadSafetyIndia DwarkaExpressway WrongSideDriving

Imagine driving on a National Highway and the bus ahead of you suddenly stops - sideways, blocking the lane. Then the driver gets out and starts hitting your car window. This is what happened near Acharapakkam, Tamil Nadu - caught on dashcam. No crash. But every element for one was present: a stopped vehicle mid-highway, an aggressive confrontation, and traffic having to react in real time. What do you do if this happens to you - stay in the car, or step out? 🚌⚠️

Traffic cops in China have come up with the cutest (and most savage) traffic education program yet: "Elementary School Kids on Patrol." They send adorable little kids out onto the streets to spot motorbike riders who aren’t wearing helmets. When the kids find someone, they cheerfully sing in the sweetest voices: "Brooo~ Brooo~ You already look so handsome… But you’d look even more handsome with a helmet on!" The rider then gets to join the fun by holding up a big sign that says: "Follow traffic rules and wear a helmet!" With the kids happily chanting and cheering him on, he helps find the next person who needs a gentle reminder. It’s like a friendly chain of traffic rule education passing from one rider to the next. The best part? The kids are having a blast learning traffic safety in real life, and the adults get such a memorable, heartwarming lesson that they’ll never forget to wear their helmet again🤣

A biker was carrying two helmets. He was wearing one helmet and the other helmet was hanging in his hand. Most people will blame police here. But this biker is clearly wrong in this situation. If you want to carry extra helmet then put it in a bag and carry that bag on your back. Hanging a helmet or any other stuff on your hand while riding a bike can be dangerous.

The riders came off the road for one of their own. Delivery riders gathered around a lamp post in Romford this week to mourn a fellow rider, named by colleagues as Anwar Shinwari, an Afghan national killed following a collision while working. They describe a man of real decency, and they're calling for a thorough investigation into what happened. What the vigil showed is the bit that stays with you: riders from every background, Indian, Bangladeshi, Afghan, Pakistani and more, standing together for a man most of London only ever met through a doorbell. Next time a rider hands you your food in the rain, remember there's a person and a family behind the helmet. Rest in peace, Anwar. 🙏 🎥 Sent in by a follower #ub1ub2 #london #deliveryriders

Peter Thiel on the importance of having a definite view of the future “We’re always focused on very short time horizons because you have to figure out a way to get through the next month, the next quarter, how you get some customers. But it’s always worth thinking ahead 5-10 years. Why will this be a really valuable business in 5-10 years? How’s the competitive landscape going to develop? How’s the technology going to develop? How’s the world going to develop?” These are hard questions to answer, but Thiel thinks the great entrepreneurs always have some perspective on it. It might be wrong, but it’s well-reasoned. “A bad plan is always better than no plan. So have a plan. You can always change it. But don’t just pretend that you have no clue about what’s going to happen and that everything about the future is random. If you say that everything is random and out of your control, that’s the way that you set yourself up for failure… I do think we exaggerate the role of luck in our future.” The following is a related passage from Thiel’s book Zero to One: “From the Renaissance and the Enlightenment to the mid-20th century, luck was something to be mastered, dominated, and controlled; everyone agreed that you should do what you could, not focus on what you couldn’t. Ralph Waldo Emerson captured this ethos when he wrote: “Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances . . . Strong men believe in cause and effect.” In 1912, after he became the first explorer to reach the South Pole, Roald Amundsen wrote: “Victory awaits him who has everything in order—luck, people call it.” No one pretended that misfortune didn’t exist, but prior generations believed in making their own luck by working hard.” Video source: Forbes (2014)

This traffic circle has been a long-standing pain point for me on FSD. As you can see, the car consistently drives in the bike lane here. I’ve documented this behavior before on FSD 12, 13, and now 14. The issue appears to stem from outdated map data. This section of the circle used to function as a two-way roadway. At the time, there was no bike lane and vehicles traveled in the space FSD still prefers today. Since the redesign, that area is now a dedicated bike lane, but FSD doesn’t reliably recognize the change. Depending on the version, it will occasionally handle this correctly, but most of the time it does not. This is currently the only issue I consistently experience with FSD. It’s not safety critical. The car will move if a cyclist, vehicle, or object is present, but reliance on outdated map data in locations like this needs to improve.

An Awakening Is Happening In America Because Of The Attempted Donald Trump Assassination “I've had some time to process the assassination attempt on Trump yesterday, and I have one thing to say and one thing only. You can call me a coon. You can call me uncle Tom. You can call me a boot licker. You can call me a sellout. Whatever racist descriptor you may choose, but I'm here to tell you this. What we saw on that stage in Pennsylvania was the complete embodiment of what it means to be an American, to stand in defiance against the regime that would wish to cut you down by any means necessary. Most people, when they're shot at, they would turn and run or cower in fear. And the fact that that man chose to take that moment on that stage and stand stand and pump his fist and encourage us to remain fighting, to continue fighting even though he had blow on his face. If that doesn't stir something deep inside you, I don't know what will. ‌ But I'll tell you one thing. Trump 2024, and I'm not the only one.”

The Trooper found that the motorist had just left a bar, had a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.132, and had an open container of vodka in the floor board. Fortunately this motorist was stopped and removed from the road before a crash occurred. Driving impaired doesn't just put you at risk, it puts the lives of everyone else on the road at risk as well. This New Years Eve choose to be a responsible driver and plan ahead to have a sober ride, designate a sober driver, or use a ride-share service.

Florianopolis 🇧🇷 is the coolest spot in South America There, I said it The island has captured my heart over the last few days: ✅ EXTREMELY safe. Way safer than most cities in Spain, for example ✅ Great beaches, not crowded at all ✅ Any kind of sports you can think of. Surfing, sandboarding, kitesurfing in the lake, padel... ✅ Cool events (was invited to a talk by Founder Haus; couldn't make it this time, but love seeing this ✅ Direct flights to a lot of different places ✅ Not hot in summer, and apparently not too cold in winter ✅ Good infrastructure (although you need a bike/car) Really really nice. I can see myself spending one/two months per year here

These two were working in the barn in Appalachia when they hear a strange noise. It startles them and they decide to take a break. The person filming becomes fixated on a tree that seems so out of place. It is in a U shape, almost like a slingshot. The birds are still chirping so I think they were ok. But if you keep hearing a noise as if it followed you, would it be time to call it a day?

Gilbert Strang, the legendary mathematician who proved risk can be cancelled to zero, on purpose, every single time: "Take any bet you're unsure about and ask what happens if you're wrong. I proved there's an exact operation that undoes a bad outcome completely, not roughly, exactly, and almost nobody ever learns to calculate it." Nobody outside that lecture hall has seen the operation itself. here's the actual mechanic. write down the equation for your first move. now tack a second column onto it, the one representing the exact opposite outcome you're worried about. don't solve them separately. run the same elimination steps through both columns at once, together, side by side. by the time the first column simplifies down to a clean answer, the second column has already turned into the exact move that cancels it. you never solved a second problem. you read the answer off the same steps you were already running. most people treat the hedge as a separate calculation, done after the fact, once they know the trade went wrong. by then it's too late to get it for free. the exact cancelling move only comes cheap if you attach it to the original problem before you start. zoom out to any model that prices a position and its exact opposite in the same breath. it isn't running the numbers twice. it tacked the second outcome on from the start, ran one elimination, and pulled both answers out together. the takeaway isn't "hedge more." it's this: whatever you're solving for right now, the exact opposite answer is one extra column away, if you set the problem up before you need it, not after. People pay six figures to sit in a room and hear this. It's in this video. For free.

Think your e-bike is actually an e-bike? 🚲⚡ Officer Donaldson recently stopped a rider after observing what appeared to be an electric-assisted bicycle traveling more than 30 mph in the bike lane without the rider pedaling. During the stop, the rider explained the bike could be adjusted to different power settings, including one that allowed it to operate without pedaling. Under Washington law, those features can change how the vehicle is classified and what rules apply. As more high-powered e-bikes hit the road, it’s important to know the difference. Not every bike marketed as an e-bike meets Washington’s legal definition of one, and some may actually be classified as electric motorcycles with different licensing, registration and equipment requirements. If you own an e-bike, take a few minutes to make sure you know the rules before you ride. To view an accessible, audio described version of this video, visit: #vanpoliceusa #bodycams

Kenny Dillingham's in-depth explanation behind ASU's play call on Mississippi State's game-winning touchdown: "3rd and 8, 40 seconds, no timeouts, one sack wins the game... It's harder to play a game on the road in OT in that environment... You're playing to win. So if you have a call that wins the game, you call it. We called it. It didn't work. You lose... Were we expecting it to give up a touchdown? Definitely not. We were actually calling it for them to take a shot... When it doesn't work, it sucks. It's not nearly as fun as when it works."

Do you ride a bike? Or an e-scooter? Or walk a dog? If so, please take a second to read this. If you are on a bike or scooter on a shared pathway and approaching someone walking a dog, please be courteous and slow down a little. Especially if coming up from behind. I am a wheelchair user with a dog and we have way too many close calls with fast moving bikes and scooters. People not using a bell and whipping by within inches. If the dog turned it's head or stepped a bit wide, they'd be hit. I'll happily move as far to one side of the path as possible, and if I've got the younger dog who isn't as experienced around fast moving things, I'll stop at the very side and have him sit in front of me to give everyone as much space as possible. If I don't know you're approaching, I can't do that. So please, for the love of dog, use your bell. Don't wait until you're right behind someone with a dog. Use it while you're still at a distance, and if you aren't sure they noticed it, ring it a few more times. Give them as much time as possible to move to the side and prepare the dog. If it's a puppy or a dog that hasn't had much experience with bikes, being able to get them off the path or give them a little extra distance from the fast moving bike helps prevent them from getting scared. The vast majority of cyclists are great and really respectful, but there's always a few that aren't. This year the challenge is kids on e-scooters. They are going fast and having fun. Safety isn't at the forefront of their mind. They often don't use a bell or slow down at blind corners, and many don't think about giving the dog any space. I've been startled a few times by them so I can only imagine how the dog felt. This is one of the reasons why I do a lot of desensitization and counter conditioning. Dog owners-you need to do your part to. If you've got headphones on, make sure you can still hear the bike bell. Make sure to give the cyclist or scooter rider as much space as possible from your dog. And of course, unless you are on a designated off leash trail, keep your dog on a leash. If you have a puppy or a newly adopted dog that might not be comfortable around bikes, take some kibble or treats and go hang out with them near a multi use path. Let them watch. As the bike or scooter approaches, drop a few treats on the ground. For many dogs, this is all it takes, but if your dog is visibly stressed, fixated on the bike, or reacting, try moving a further from the trail and once they're comfortable at a slightly further distance, try closer again. If they are still stressed or fearful even with more distance, don't force the issue. Instead introduce them to a bike that isn't moving, and gradually work them up from there. If they are struggling, talk to a trainer. Regardless of if you are holding a leash, riding a bike or scooter, or enjoying a walk outdoors, just be respectful. And of course, be safe. Thanks, Admin 🎥 Puppy walk for cuteness

Use it while you're still at a distance, and if you aren't sure they noticed it, ring it a few more times. Give them as much time as possible to move to the side and prepare the dog. If it's a puppy or a dog that hasn't had much experience with bikes, being able to get them off the path or give them a little extra distance from the fast moving bike helps prevent them from getting scared. The vast majority of cyclists are great and really respectful, but there's always a few that aren't. This year the challenge is kids on e-scooters. They are going fast and having fun. Safety isn't at the forefront of their mind. They often don't use a bell or slow down at blind corners, and many don't think about giving the dog any space. I've been startled a few times by them so I can only imagine how the dog felt. This is one of the reasons why I do a lot of desensitization and counter conditioning. Dog owners-you need to do your part to. If you've got headphones on, make sure you can still hear the bike bell. Make sure to give the cyclist or scooter rider as much space as possible from your dog. And of course, unless you are on a designated off leash trail, keep your dog on a leash. If you have a puppy or a newly adopted dog that might not be comfortable around bikes, take some kibble or treats and go hang out with them near a multi use path. Let them watch. As the bike or scooter approaches, drop a few treats on the ground. For many dogs, this is all it takes, but if your dog is visibly stressed, fixated on the bike, or reacting, try moving a further from the trail and once they're comfortable at a slightly further distance, try closer again. If they are still stressed or fearful even with more distance, don't force the issue. Instead introduce them to a bike that isn't moving, and gradually work them up from there. If they are struggling, talk to a trainer. Regardless of if you are holding a leash, riding a bike or scooter, or enjoying a walk outdoors, just be respectful. And of course, be safe.
