Of course the laws changed. We no longer have an empty (sorry natives) Continent to fill. Open borders is no longer in our interest. We are not opposed to new immigrants. They are welcomed with open arms. If they come here legally.
Why can you not separate the fact the immigrant and illegal immigrant are two completely different things. Immigrants are welcomed. Illegals are not. Follow the rules needed now that we don't have vast stretches of untamed wilderness to settle, and you will be welcomed.
Jump the border or overstay your visa and it's another matter entirely.
No it's not a bike crossing. The yield to bikes is referring to how the right turn lane that is about to appear will take cars into the Bike lane on the right shoulder of the road. It does not refer to the median at all.
The median is a traffic cross-over for construction, made up pretty.
That sign is referring to the bike lane on the right shoulder of the traffic lane, as a turn lane is about to appear that will take cars into the bike lane. It is not referring to bikes crossing from where they shouldn't be.
It's a traffic cross-over, made fancy to match the surrounding landscaping. Add some asphalt at the curbs and you can move traffic over to one lane or the other.
Entirely applicable to driving. We are focusing on the road, but also frequently glancing down to check the speed and other instruments. It's night, it's dark, we are not expecting a pedestrian in that location. We are distracted and focused on the task of driving.
We are not looking for or expecting the person dressed in all dark clothing walking across the lane of traffic when they should have seen our headlights well before we could ever hope to see them. Thus we do not see them until it is too late. Exactly the same thing with not seeing the Gorilla, we are focusing on the tasks at hand.
And your experience is why the experts say that for deer sized critters it's actually better to accelerate, had you managed to slow more it might have landed on and gone through your windshield.
Still less than a tree, which does not move. Actually depending on the animal, your best option is often to accelerate so the body of the animal rolls up the hood and windshield and over the car. Doesn't always work. But with deer sized animals it's actually better to hit them at higher speeds. The vehicle type also matters, with a pick-up truck, just brake it's gonna go crunch anyway.
That does not work with meese or horses (Yes I know I misspelled the Plural of moose).
And many other states as well. Swerving to avoid hitting animals is one of the leading causes of single vehicle roll-overs. You swerve, trying to force side motion into your travel but the vehicle wants to keep going straight. It doesn't take much at that point to induce a roll-over. And you aren't guaranteed to even be out of your prior lane of travel so the avoided animal (or pedestrian in this case) is still very likely to get hit.
Actually many common firearms are sufficient to crack the block poke holes in the radiator to cause it to overheat or at least deflate the tires. Then there is also the fact that drivers who find them selves full of holes have a hard time steering straight.
Heck just the other day here in Utah, a high school punk playing hooky to smoke dope tried to run down a police officer, as the officer rolled off the hood of the car that hit him he fired one shot. The officer ended up with a scraped up leg and some minor bruising. The driver is in the hospital listed in critical condition.
Many manufacturers do have such video guides. Usually Hosted on YouTube, or they were. Or the Manufacturer produces a guide video made from the viewpoint of an expert gunsmith who does many steps out of habit and is not considering that less experienced hobbyists might need a better angle or explanation of said step. Manufacturer videos are usually the least helpful guide videos.
Whereas the YouTube gun vids that are most helpful are produced by someone who experienced the same learning curve the viewers are and so takes care to show the action from different or more angles. And who carefully explains gotcha's to watch out for so you don't ruin an expensive build due to a mistake the Pro's know to avoid out of habit and forget to mention on their vids.
But not that unreal. The fact is drivers are constantly distracted. On their phones talking (even hands free is still cogniantly distracted) texting eating distracted by kids in the back seat applying makeup adjusting the heat or the radio even just choosing that second for their periodic check of the speed and other instruments can be enough of a distraction. Any of these alone or in any combination are seen within minutes of observation of any public road.
And a Human is more likely to try to swerve and lose control making the accident worse.
Yes they should and will ultimately do much better. But they are still in testing. And the standard to meet at this time is still to match humans. If a Human driver actively driving the car could not have avoided it and would not be liable, then the car should not. Once the cars have been running for a while and we see a few more odd-ball situations for the engineers to adapt for then we can expect better. But as good as a human is the standard. We certainly don't want something worse than a human, but at least as good as is a start.
Even with that standard, they will be safer as a Human driver is likely to get mildly distracted on occasion, even if no cell phone is in the car. SDC don't get distracted so on that level alone they are better even with abilities equal to humans.
That doesn't change the fact that these laws exist for our safety. All that article spells out is that as cars began using the roads, it was soon recognized that the streets were no longer a safe location for pedestrians. We could either make cars practically useless, or pass laws to try and keep pedestrians out of the road and put some liability on the pedestrian if they enter a road in an unsafe manner at an unsafe location.
Or we could still be living with ridiculously slow vehicles only owned and operated by the filthy rich due to government mandated governors and driver liability for all accidents.
The Automotive industry saw a threat, yes. But they avoided that threat by getting pedestrians out of the roads. Which is for our safety. Not just so they can sell cars.
By using Waze, he is directed down the alley behind main-street thus avoiding the three other commuters and the four police officers working different speed traps along the 3/4 mile length of Main street.;p
Actually the entire thing is a conspiracy planted by the conspirators to distract us from the real conspiracy, an attempt to cover up the fact that Al Bundy once scored four touchdowns in a game for Polk High School to win the High School City Championship for Chicago
The Buffer zone only applies to Customs searches, NOT the TSA. The TSA has no authority to search for law enforcement or customs duties purposes. The Buffer zone is irrelevant. This is about the TSA.
Again, reading comprehension. This is the TSA not Customs. Customs gets away with searches in the buffer zone. The TSA has no mission or business searching the contents of electronic devices.
It should be noted that I-10 runs within the 100 mile buffer zone. You are subject to ICE checkpoints on that freeway. Better to move north to I-80, only rarely does it come within reach of any border buffer zone.

Nope we know that it is possible to own firearms, But under very strict restrictions. Restrictions we won't even begin to accept.
Better him that Killary. More people voted against her than for him.

With their new anti-gun stance, what's the word for when their first movie is one that is likely to include at least some use of guns.
Oh yes, Hypocrites.
Oops, that was supposed to say
"He probably bought most of it at or near the peak..."
He mostly bought at or near the peak last year and is desperate to push it back up so he doesn't lose as much when he decides to sell it.

The Police Chief who has investigated many such accidents in her career disagrees with your assessment.

Pedestrians only have right of way if in a crosswalk. They do not have right of way to just walk into a traffic lane anywhere they please.
