        Getting stuck at a slow-strobing green waiting for the train of clones to pass by is easily the worst part of driving.

            Yep, can verify. I live in Utah too, and that’s not all. Go to Utah county if you want to be constantly tailgated (no matter how fast you go), and Ogden is great if you love j walking (lived in inner city Ogden for years and it’s like a past time or something). Ogden is the only place I’ve been where I have sat at a red light and as soon as it turned green someone started walking across the street in front of me…someone she had been standing at he light. It’s happened to me twice, both times in Ogden.

            Utah has some pretty good roads, but not the best drivers (I may or may not be included in that)

              My cousin in Salt Lake would complain about the slower, bigger, and more full of kids in the SUV, the more likely they are to stay in the passing lane.

              The Utah County part strikes me as odd. They’re like my go-to mnemonic/metonym when I want to imagine a US county that values non-individialism and social cohesion no matter the emotional cost. Maybe they value social cohesion and bumper-to-bumper cohesion equally. Hmm.

      All we know for sure is there’s more than 1. The previous one could be driving very very fast to get back up there and repeat.

    Aah, dangit! My lemmy client doesn’t have a progress bar for videos and I kept watching it wondering what the fuck is happening

      And it was like that the whole way which means it’s likely why flying down an embankment happened in the first place.

        Yeah all told the driver and the car did great. Good job to luck showing up as well

        Yep, looks like it was already fucked before going off the road up above.

        To me it looks like the wheel was dragged by the ground on the way down, and only after the jump in the end it got shaped like a nope

        Edit: rewatching it makes me uncertain, though. Maybe the original is the only way to be sure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    What are the odds that 45 similar SUVs crash in the same way? That road must be a deathtrap.
