Watching @/vaspider having to block people and turn off reblogs on his post about bike safety because people are incapable of accepting that safety equipment is good, actually, regardless of where you live, is really reminding me of the way some people talk about seatbelts where I live*.

A paramedic I work with explained crashes to me like this once:

In a motor vehicle accident, there are three collisions: the outside of your car hits something, the outside of you hits the inside of your car, and your internals hit the inside of you.

Even if your car is okay, even if your outside is okay, your internals can be real fucked up, since they're not meant to hit anything! And your bones are hard, and sometimes sharp! (Either through breaking or just because it's inherently rough; your skull is NOT smooth on the inside so if your brain bounces off, you're gonna have a bad time.)

Wear your seatbelt, wear your helmet, use proper protective equipment. Give yourself the best chance of survival, PLEASE.

*I live in NH, where seatbelts aren't mandatory once you hit 18. Yes, sometimes I hate it here.

#safety #motor vehicle safety #bike safety #helmets #seatbelts #just. wear your dang helmets and seatbelts #as spider said: the Netherlands is not a physics free space!#momentum still exists! freak accidents happen!

“Skidding On Bridge Ends in Hair-Breadth Escape,” Toronto Star. January 20, 1931. Page 3. --- ABOVE view of Don bridge, Gerrard St. E., showing where section of the guard rail was carried away by a car driven by Jack Zeran, 286 Mortimer St., when it skidded to edge of the bridge and only stopping when front wheels were hanging over the side of a hundred-foot drop. Neither the driver nor his two passengers suffered injury.

Net and James are doing a really good job of showing King and Uea as settled into a long-term stable relationship, but still undeniably themselves.

Also I'm really glad that car scenes in movies have the car hooked up to towing rigs, because King is NOT paying any attention to the road.

#it always makes me so nervous in movies when the driver looks away from the road for more than a literal second #they have actors out there staring at the person in the passenger seat for half a minute sometimes!#do you know how many accidents they'd have gotten into in that time?#that is NOT SAFE #gillianthecat liveblogs bl #and grumps about motor vehicle safety #bed friend the series #bed friend ep 10 #bed friend #b

When police went to arrest Tony Patterson outside his Tampa home in August, he couldn’t believe the reason.

“What is wrong with this state, man?” Patterson protested as he was being escorted to a police car in handcuffs. “Voter fraud? Y’all said anybody with a felony could vote, man.”

Body-worn camera footage recorded by local police captured the confusion and outrage of Hillsborough County residents who found themselves in handcuffs for casting a ballot following investigations by Gov. Ron DeSantis’ new Office of Election Crimes and Security.

The Aug. 18 arrests — conducted hours before DeSantis called a news conference to tout his crackdown on alleged voter fraud — were carried out by state police officers accompanied by local law enforcement.

The footage, obtained by the Times/Herald through public records requests, offers a personal glimpse of the effects of DeSantis’ efforts to root out perceived voter fraud.

“They’re going to pay the price,” DeSantis said during the news conference announcing the arrests.

Of the 19 people arrested, 12 were registered as Democrats and at least 13 are Black, the Times/Herald found.

Romona Oliver, 55, was about to leave for work when police walked up her driveway at 6:52 a.m. and told her they had a warrant for her arrest.

“Oh my God,” she said.

An officer told her she was being arrested for fraud, a third-degree felony, for voting illegally in 2020.

“Voter fraud?” she said. “I voted, but I ain’t commit no fraud.”

Oliver and 19 others are facing up to five years in prison after being accused by DeSantis and state police of both registering, and voting, illegally.

They are accused of violating a state law that doesn’t allow people convicted of murder or felony sex offenses to automatically be able to vote after they complete their sentence. A 2018 state constitutional amendment that restored the right to vote to many felons but excluded this group.

But, as the videos further support, the amendment and subsequent actions by state lawmakers caused mass confusion about who was eligible, and the state’s voter registration forms offer no clarity. They only require a potential voter to swear, under penalty of perjury, that they’re not a felon, or if they are, that their rights have been restored.

The forms do not say that those with murder convictions don’t get automatic restoration of their rights.

Oliver, who served 18 years in prison on a second-degree murder charge, registered to vote at the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles on Feb. 14, 2020. Six months later, she updated her address and completed another registration form.

After brief eligibility checks by the Department of State — which reports to DeSantis and is responsible for cleaning the rolls of ineligible voters — she was given a voter ID card both times.

Oliver wasn’t removed from the rolls until March 30 this year, more than two years later.

The recordings by Tampa police and Hillsborough County deputies reveal officers who were patient, understanding — almost apologetic.

A handcuffed Nathan Hart, 49, found a sympathetic ear when he explained how he ended up registering and voting illegally, according to the sheriff’s office recording.

As he stood handcuffed, he told officers that he signed up to vote at the encouragement of somebody at “the driver’s license place.” Records show it was in March 2020.

“I said, ‘I’m a convicted felon, I’m pretty sure I can’t,’” Hart, a registered sex offender, told officers. “He goes, ‘Well, are you still on probation?’”

Hart’s probation had ended a month earlier, Hart recalled. The person told him to sign up anyway.

“He said, ‘Well, just fill out this form, and if they let you vote, then you can,’” Hart said. “‘If they don’t, then you can’t.’”

“Then there’s your defense,” one of the officers replied. “You know what I’m saying? That sounds like a loophole to me.”

“Well, we can hope,” Hart said.

The officer was correct in one way: State law says that a voter has to “willfully” commit the crime — a hurdle that has forced some prosecutors not to charge ineligible voters.

In Lake County this year, for example, prosecutors declined to bring charges against six convicted sex offenders who voted in 2020.

“In all of the instances where sex offenders voted, each appear to have been encouraged to vote by various mailings and misinformation,” prosecutor Jonathan Olson wrote. “Each were given voter registration cards which would lead one to believe they could legally vote in the election. The evidence fails to show willful actions on a part of these individuals.”

DeSantis’ voter fraud arrests are being carried out by the Office of Statewide Prosecution, which is restricted by law to prosecuting crimes, including voting, involving two or more judicial circuits.

Those crimes are usually “complex, often large scale, organized criminal activity,” according to its website. The statewide prosecutor is Nicholas Cox, who was reappointed by Attorney General Ashley Moody in 2019.

Oliver’s lawyer, Tampa attorney Mark Rankin, said he thinks DeSantis’ election security force chose these 20 in particular because the public would not have sympathy for people who were convicted of murder or sexual offenses. During a news conference announcing the arrests, DeSantis noted their criminal records.

“That’s not an accident,” Rankin said. “That’s a political strategy.”

Just so we're clear, the state of Florida:

• Passed an amendment that received more voter support on the 2018 ballot than Gov. Ron DeSantis won by (Amendment 4 had 65% support, DeSantis had 49%)

• Allowed a government worker on at least one occasion, to encourage one of these individuals to register/vote. Issued these people voter registration cards, indicating to them that their voting status had been restored. Didn't stop them at any point before voting, whether that be by mail, by phone, at the DMV, or at their polling place. DeSantis and his State Department are responsible for clearing voter rolls of ineligible voters.

• Arrested them for voting a month before an election, 2 years after their last vote (assuming they didn't vote in primaries). These misinformed individuals face up to 5 years in prison. Meanwhile, the assholes in the Villages who knowingly committed voter fraud were only sentenced to community service and were made to take a civics class.

Sound a little hypocritical? Cuz it is. DeSantis doesn't really care about election security or voter eligibility. He only cares about maintaining his power by disenfranchising black and brown democratic voters. He wants the people that Florida just voted to have their rights restored, convicted felons, too scared to vote because of how they might vote in the future. Restorative Justice is for everyone, no exceptions.

In 2021, 16 percent of the 1.2 million EVs sold in Western Europe were shipped from China, including Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, Dacia Spring and BMW iX3, according to analyst Matthias Schmidt. The number of Chinese brands selling in Europe is expected to reach double figures in 2022 as they bring over increasingly more electric vehicles to the region(..)

P.S. All in all, this is very good news for the growth of the affordable electric car market, but there are mixed feelings! It is a great shame that European legacy automakers are unable to offer anything to the affordable electric car market. European legacy automakers made a huge strategic mistake five years ago by ignoring LFP battery technology and mass-market electric car production. If the Chinese Communist Party does not start doing some military nonsense and does not create a basis for the introduction of economic sanctions, then Chinese electric car manufacturers have a very good chance to seriously reduce the market share of European legacy automakers in the near future...

TOP Safe Vehicles under 10 LAKHS

Why do we need safe vehicles?

When it comes to cars, safety is the uncompromising cornerstone that takes precedence above performance, looks, and brand loyalty. In the middle of the appeal of innovative technologies and beautiful looks, a car's dedication to safety transforms it from a means of transportation to a lifeguard. Our Indian companies, like Tata and Mahindra, are providing one of the safest vehicles out there in the country.

What are some standard safety features?

Safety features are like an unseen barrier protecting us from harm, yet they are often ignored. As quiet sentinels, airbags protect occupants from potentially catastrophic injuries in crashes. While electronic stability control (ESC) guards against skids and rollovers, anti-lock brake systems (ABS) prevent wheel lock-up and preserve control during abrupt braking.

What’s the most important safety aspect to look for?

Even though they have the ability to save lives, safety features are frequently overlooked when buying a car. Global NCAP ratings are a useful tool for making well-informed judgments since they evaluate safety performance through extensive crash tests. A car with a high rating has been built with safety as its primary concern.

A car's global NCAP rating must be taken into account while making a decision to buy a safe vehicle, in addition to aspects like performance and fuel economy. It is the collective duty of the automobile industry to ensure that all models, regardless of price range or kind of vehicle, meet safety standards.

Some safe vehicles on budget?

Tata Altroz, Mahindra XUV 300, Tata Nexon, Tata Punch, and many others! These secure vehicles demonstrate the industry's dedication to putting passenger and driver safety first. When it comes to providing a safe and secure driving experience, these cars provide peace of mind thanks to their sophisticated and top-notch technologies and sturdy structural architecture.
