You can't park there, mate

For all parking disasters, not just simple bad parking (for that see yplac.co.uk).

Also includes "you can't park there, sir" for the police equivalent.

Police say a motorcyclist was taken to hospital with serious injuries after a B.C. crash near the Surrey-Delta border Saturday afternoon left a motorcycle dangling from a traffic light above a busy intersection.

Has anyone examined how this happened?

Car was turning at the intersection, the bike came along at a high rate of speed and bounced off the car. Vid https://imgur.com/a/ovOVyPG The bike looks ok, but it's probably pretty messed up from that.

Ya accidents suck but the way I see it is the Bike was 100% at fault here. When that car started turning it would have been difficult if not impossible to even tell that the bike was coming at them so fast.

At least from what I understand the biker luckily has serious but non-life threatening injuries. Tearing down a busy street like that could have ended much worse for him or others.

That’s wild.

It seems plausible and the positions line up, but what's up with the artifacting? Why do the cars glitch in and out? Why does the rider become a rectangle for a moment while sliding? Was the stoppie snippet just a snippet or was Ai involved to modify and potentially emhance/hallucinate?

I couldn't tell you more as I don't really know the full details. Artifacting can be pretty common with some cameras, mine do that all the time from the compression, but I'm not sure about what caused the freeze frame bit on the bike.

Ooh, that's a good explanation.
