European brains cannot comprehend that this is a “car” and not a semi-truck.
Also, isn’t it dangerous to do the stabby stabby with tires? Because they might burst? Asking for a friend.
yes, just let the air out.
THEN STABY-STABY
Also can't comprehend the "protected" bike lane.
It just looks like more road
Don’t you see the thin strip of « same concrete as the road but paler »?! Totally protected now!
Also, if it was a higher wall, a car could get slightly damaged if it veered of course. Totally unacceptable. Human bodies don’t scratch the paint off as much.
Lentil under the cap, slowly releasing the pressure.
So they don't notice and then they drive with flat tires and crash into and kill decent pedestrians and cyclists?
They'll notice.
Not that slow. Most cars stay in place over the course of a day around 23h (maybe not at a time), but still: if the driver doesn't hop in immediately, the tire will be mostly or totally deflated at when they arrive.
Do you regularly carry lentils for this purpose?
Rocks are both free and everywhere. I see some in this picture
Can you eat rocks when hunger attacks, NO!
This is why I always carry my pocket lentils!!
If it's a car, you can stab 30PSI and not die. If it's an actual, real truck, it's well past 100PSI and will blow your hand off.
Ok good to know that I will not die when it’s 30PSI. But will I be deaf? Will it blow loudly so everyone notices?
If you poke it slowly, it will make a slow leak. However it will be easily repairable.
Personally I started to cut brake lines instead.
The tread is easily repairable but you cant repair sidewall damage legally, at least where I am. 😉
The car I was hitting was "owned" by someone who did nothing legally. I eventually figured out the reason he drove cars like they were stolen was because they were actually stolen.
