you will see several examples of people who throw themselves at vehicles hard enough to break the windshield - one with a foot, another with their head. I don't see how a taillight would present much of a problem either. Don't underestimate crazy/desperate.
It has to do with surface area. If the material on a tail light was as big as a windshield, then yes, it could be broken.
Tonight when I was walking the dog, I looked at a tail light on some cheap-ass Kia. It's about the size of a paperback book and made of plastic hard enough to resist stones kicked up on a highway. Your elbow is not going to break it. Kicking it is not going to break it. It would have to be hit with some hard object, like a ball peen hammer. You could throw your body at a tail light all day long and it's not going to break.
Sure I can. In fact, I suggest you go out and test this right now. If you don't succeed then you're not doing it right.
You can not break a tail light on a car with just your body. Unless you were wearing steel-capped shoes (with the steel on the outside) you couldn't even kick a tail light to break it.
Hwy 101 is one of the most beautiful roads in the world. And it's well cared-for, so it's a pleasure to drive. To be sure, there are some parts that get busy around LA, but if you get caught in traffic, you can look at the beautiful women along the beach to pass the time. Plus, did I mention weed is legal?
It reminds me of once when I was a teenager, I had my dad's car. It was winter and I was in the parking lot at Rhys Park doing donuts in the snow. I banged into some trash can and scratched up the passenger door. I wish I'd made up the story that some random guy threw his body at the car while I was stopped at a traffic light. It would have saved me losing car privileges until I paid for the repairs by shoveling sidewalks for neighbors. Took me a month of shoveling.
However there are a lot more parts of California than the cost, and many of those parts are not that inspiring.
Oh man, were you on hwy 101? There are unbelievably beautiful vistas throughout the Central Coast region.
If you ever have to make that trip, I highly recommend taking Amtrak's Coast Starlight train. It goes right along the coast and you can put your legs up and use the wi-fi and there's a dining car. It's terrific. If you do that, let me know and I'll meet you at one of the stops and buy you lunch. You can get on and off on a single ticket.
Cruise AV, a self-driving car company owned by General Motors, reports that earlier this month an unidentified man in the Mission flung himself onto one of the company's autonomous vehicles
But wait, there's more!
The car's human driver says...
OK, so there was a driver in this self-driving car.
It sounds to me like they ran over a guy, and somebody's trying to dodge a lawsuit by saying someone "threw themselves at the car". And if there was, as the self-driving car's driver says, "damage to a tail light", let me ask you this: If you went outside and threw your body at a car, do you think you could break a tail light?
I'm also hundreds of miles away from the "Bay Area", but I know that Valencia and 16th is where Panchitos is, where you can get the best Salvadoran papusas in the US.
You can tell when someone's from the Bay Area because they're so self-important that they describe local locations to the world with no context to explain for people not from the area.
God, Americans love not knowing stuff. It's really a badge of honor. If someone said, "Brooklyn" or "the French Quarter", would you know what it is? But people are so jealous of California that they pretend not to know what the Mission District is.
Some poor bastard in Arkansas is telling himself, "At least I don't live in that shithole, San Francisco." There literally isn't a single thing on the California coast that's not beautiful. You can start at San Diego and drive straight up to the Oregon border and not see anything besides inspiring beauty. There are also better-looking women here than anywhere else in the United States. Just one after another. And legal weed. And surfing. What kind of damage must they have suffered to hate beautiful women, legal weed, and surfing? It boggles the mind.
The weed dispensary where I live delivers. I mean, they actually got a van with a logo and some dude in a polo shirt and white-boy dreadlocks who brings the shit right to your door. I ain't tryna 3D-print some Blueberry Yum Yum sticky bud.
We've got a president who's paying porn stars to spank him with a rolled up magazine, and who says he's exactly the same height and weight as Cubs firstbaseman Anthony Rizzo.
The next president will probably be pro-wrestler The Undertaker and his cabinet will be made up of the Ducks Dynasty family, members of the Unification Church and Dallas Texans cheerleaders. Ain't no way we're going to Mars. By 2020, most Americans won't even believe Mars exists.
By the way, here is an article from Sports Illustrated listing the athletes who are the same height and weight as Trump:
It's also utterly true. Trump lawyer Michael Cohen created a special L.L.C. just to make the hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. And now, a total of three different porn stars have stepped up to corroborate the story.
The Ars hands-on shows a basic one that displays the time at center and Fuchsia logo in the top-left corner to switch between phone and desktop/tablet mode, while a FAB (of sorts) in the opposite corner lets users bring up WiFi controls, Login, and Guest.
That's it? The new interface paradigm is that they have a logo in the top left?
Ars found a working web browser that can actually surf the internet.
Thank goodness. I was worried that there would be a working web browser that couldn't actually surf the internet.
I guess it's time for another run at using Linux as a proper DAW. It's been almost 2 years since my last try.
In other important tech news, the story just broke that Stormy Daniels spanked Trump with a rolled-up Forbes magazine during sex, while Melania was home with the newborn Barron Harkonnen. I figure we're a couple days away from Stormy talking about pegging Trump.
The planet's global surface temperature last year was second warmest since 1880
This is #fakenews. Everybody is saying that my first year as president is the warmest on record, and next year will be even warmer! The failing NASA and NOAA are way down in the ratings!
That something, is someone. Another user on slashdot who posted a link that refutes your bullshit too.
I just learned something interesting about that Washington Examiner (!) article that you're using as a citation. Out of the "100 companies giving Trump bonuses", all but two were already giving bonuses before the tax cuts and most of them give bonuses every year.

Well, that makes this part all the more interesting, doesn't it?

I'm totally in favor of Hawaii. It has weed, surfing and pretty girls. And fruity drinks with umbrellas. And grass skirts.
OK, fuck it. I'm moving to Hawaii.
I use a fleshlight for that, and it only costs a fraction of the CAT S60.
I'll bet your friend is grateful that you're keeping an eye on his 14 year old daughter.
Go try it right now. See if you can break a tail light with just your elbow.
The story is made up.
It reminds me of once when I was a teenager, I had my dad's car. It was winter and I was in the parking lot at Rhys Park doing donuts in the snow.

It would have saved me losing car privileges until I paid for the repairs by shoveling sidewalks for neighbors. Took me a month of shoveling.
If someone ran out in front of your car, it wouldn't damage the tail light.
I'm thinking that the test driver backed into something and made up the entire story to protect his job.

That's what I'm saying. He's #1 and has the best words.
Now we know why the libs hate Trump so much. After all, he scored highest on his cognitive tests.

And also because he was the best baseball player in New York in the early 1960s.

Sir, that wasn't your daughter. It was a porn star that you paid to dress up like your daughter.
The two companies both announced layoffs.
