What are the laws regarding carrying a hammer 🔨 on your person in public?
Leave space for crossing you damn carbrains!
In Switzerland, we just bang on the window
Needs an additional lane so more cars could pass and not block the crosswalk
Tap for spoiler
/s
How tf do people drive in that! -.-
That’s why you go through the cars. Leave the doors open.
Seems like a place that need a crossing brick to me.
I like those videos where people open the back doors of cars stopped on crossings and climb out the other door so they can cross the road.
Absolutely insane. You know how many of our fellow americans have guns and zero chill!? It’s not fair, but protest in a manner that’s safe…
It’s safe because the videos are staged
I’m a relatively risk averse person but this is crazy. Do you fret the same amount every time you head out on our increasingly deadly roads? I can’t imagine leaving the house if I believed my fellow citizens were one small inconvenience away from blowing my head off in broad daylight.
- bang bang with your hand gets the message across and is legal.
- you didn’t even tell ‘ey I’m walking here’
Counter-point: They can kill you by applying pressure with their toe. Alternate plan: Make them fear breaking the law in the first place…
You bang bang backwards after passing.
The all-american solution: point your gun at them
Not if you’re off to the side
NYPD used to be super strict about ticketing for “blocking the box”. Like it was their favorite thing to do. I know it’s usually worse in midtown but I guess they’ve fallen off.
There’s virtually zero traffic enforcement in NYC
Ironic given that the NYPD has a larger budget than what most countries spend on their military.
Try parking during the street sweep
I’ve been in two taxis that have gotten tickets for blocking the box in NYC 10-15 years ago. I guess I was surprised to see this tolerated.
My dude, hammers are nice but keys are ubiquitous
Seeing this always makes me consider carring a pack of stickers on me that say something embarrassing on it
Gallagher used to tell a joke that every driver should be issued a suction cup dart gun, that shoots darts with a red flag on it at any car driving like an idiot. When a cop sees a car with 3 flags on the fender, he pulls them over, and gives them a ticket for being an asshole.
I thought all he did was smash large fruits and veggies.
If you know no fear, climb on the cars blocking the path :p
Just hold one of your keys out as you walk by the cars on the crosswalk.
Crude but effective
SMOOTH MOVE, EX LAX
This is why bicyclists carry bike locks
It’s 45th St. That’s absolutely NOT what every crossing at 3rd Ave looks like. Stay out of Midtown if you want people who behave like others exist. Midtown is a hellscape
better than lower atleast, surely?
I wonder if their mayor can do something about this. I do understand that this is behavior that he cannot impose. But as a leader he could rally them to be “self-accountable” and more importantly vigilant towards pedestrians.
If they actually enforced pedestrian law, it would be fixed.
In my country the law states that in crosswalks without traffic lights, pedestrians must be given unobstructed access. I’ve considered getting steel tipped shoes and just kicking the violators with those. After all, it’s basically the same as walking swiftly. I bet the case would be even stronger with a green traffic light…
