Have it hardwired, and two of their battery packs, in the trunk. Really dig the parkingmode feature.

It's not that bad when U are used to it I guess. But yeah this guy...
Had I been in my work van things had not been good for him. Might put in a camera in that ride too, now I think of it.

I'm 38 and have never heard of a 'two beers at lunch national law'. But it's a funny story to tell...
I'm a carpenter, and have heard stories from older guys who used to drink alot on work. Like alot alot. Even had days where they didn't get any work done. Now I never see anyone drink a beer at work. So things have changed much in that way.
But yeah, we as danes like to drink, and can legally buy and drink alcohol at age 16. No problem enjoying a few cold ones on the steet (not even need to hide it in stupid brownbags). But we don't end up raging alcoholics. We have the swedes do that for us.

It's called Lycom/furukawa and is in bronby I think.haventbeen there since 99 so maybe rules have changed
Also loved the topless girls sunbathing on warmer winter days.and great work ethic too.

20 years ago, and U could almost spell Brøndby the right way.
Topless girls sunbathing is still a thing here

In GTA I would have run him over, and have the police chase me.

The pedestrians in Baltimore, MD absolutely don't GAF. They will walk out into traffic whether at an intersection or middle of the block. And you can honk and they don't stop, they don't even look at you. You can keep driving right at them and they just keep walking. You can slam on your brakes and almost hit them, or you can swerve around within an inch of them, and they just keep walking. They don't even look at you. They don't give you the "my bad" look, and they don't even look at you with indignation like they're trying to make it your fault. They just totally ignore you.

I'm pretty sure we call those literal zombies. They infest most urban areas.

Is he in a marked crosswalk? Where I live, pedestrians in a crosswalk have the right of way.

There's no way pedestrians have right of way, even in a cross walk, when the INTERSECTION HAS A GREEN LIGHT.

There's no way pedestrians have right of way, even in a cross walk, when the INTERSECTION HAS A GREEN LIGHT.

The problem is - some pedestrians *think* they *do* have the right of way *just because* the law in most States says a vehicle or traffic must yield to them. It is correct that a vehicle must yield to a pedestrian....

However *MOST* pedestrians don’t know the complete written law or misunderstand the laws.

In States that have a Ped right of way law, it explicitly states that the Ped MUST:

1) stop before entering a roadway or crossing zone
2) look in all directions for oncoming traffic
3) abide by any traffic signal devices
4) be crossing in a zone clearly designated or marked as a crosswalk.

Some of these fools think just because they are a Ped, that they can just walk/dart/leap off a curb out into traffic without any regard AND do it when there is no crosswalk. That’s where the Ped is totally in the wrong.

I almost hit a kid, riding his buddy double, on a bike one day. Kid came tearing out of a local plaza from the left across the road to my side. I slammed on the brakes and he swerved back onto the other side of the road, mere feet in front of me. It was summer and I had the window down. He looked at me as I pulled up and I looked at him and said, "That's a good way to get dead, fast." The look of horror on his face, and the buddy's, was worth the near miss and I hoped the encounter changed his ways.

I was just cruising thru the streets of Copenhagen today. And then this fucker did this. Luckily the brakes on this car is good. He even looked at me like I was in the wrong.

Have U ever been close to hitting somebody like this?

Missed opportunity...

My Car tends to only target pedestrians if they're in a group of 5 or more

Had the brakes not been so good on this car, it would have not been a good night for either of us. But the combination of the BAER/Brembo on my car will stop it on a dime, and give a change back.
