Vehicle drivers in Conquest, ... is it really that hard to stop and pick passengers up so they don't have to walk 1000 ****ing miles across these maps at the beginning of the game ? I mean c'mon ... seriously.

I know it is pointless to complain about it, ... the same as nobody doing revives, but sometimes you just have to vent. I mean on most maps the vehicles are literally driving right past the hoards that get dropped off, it's really just not that hard to pick people up. I do it. There's a "Get in" message on the rose for that purpose.

My friend and I were in his truck the other day and we were hit by a driver who was: 1) A minor - 17 years old 2) Incredibly intoxicated (visibly high on Xanax or similar + very drunk), 3) Driving a stolen vehicle. The driver was arrested after attempting to flee on foot.

Here are some additional relevant circumstances/pieces of information:

  • The accident occurred in Texas
  • There is Dash cam footage of the entire wreck before, during and after from a local firefighter who happened to be waiting on a red light perpendicular to the direction of the two cars involved in the accident
  • There was a man in a car that had been following the drunk minor for 10 minutes with the 911 dispatcher on the phone trying to get them to β€œsend an officer to pull this guy over before he hurts someone.”
  • Police never ended up trying to pull the minor over, but were somehow magically at the scene of the accident within 30 seconds.
  • My friend did not have insurance on the vehicle he was driving since his coverage had lapsed in November (though on Texas this usually shouldn’t made a difference as long as you’re not at fault for the accident - no citation was issued to him).
  • The drunk minor had Fred Loya insurance, and I don’t know this for a fact, but I assume that it was not for the vehicle he was driving at the time of the accident
  • The stolen vehicle the minor was driving belonged to the drunk minor’s Dad’s GF (the two later showed up at the scene and the girlfriend told police that she wanted to press charges)
  • The truck My friend is driving was towed to a lot because it is not drivable, But we are not certain that it’s totaled either.
  • Nobody is disputing whose fault the wreck was - everyone is in clear agreement that this kid - who should have been arrested minutes earlier had police listened to the caller - was lit off of something in conjunction with alcohol, and that he ran his car into my friends truck and knocked the whole axle loose and the drive train was dragging on the ground

What do we do? Does he wait for this kid’s insurance to pay for his truck to get fixed, or is he supposed to get the vehicle out now? It doesn’t drive. There’s also a concern about whether or not this kids insurance will cover the damages since the vehicle was stolen, and if the kid or his parents will actually be able to pay for the damages. FYI - The truck is most likely totaled, if I had to guess. Does my friend file a civil suit against the kid even if he can’t pay? Should he go for a Hail Mary attempt to sue the city and/or police department for not responding to the man’s call when there were - as it became very clear - more than enough cops in the area to respond? They showed up at the scene of the accident in 30 seconds and they were seven o

To Drivers: Cyclists are legally considered vehicles (under the Ontario HTA) and are supposed to ride on the road. Stop telling me to ride on the sidewalk.

The weather has been really nice lately and I've been commuting to work on my bike. On my short commute (15 mins) I had two different drivers tell me to ride on the sidewalk and not on the road. On both occasions I was waiting at a red light to go straight and the cars beside me kept telling me I shouldn't be on the road. I wasn't even in the middle of the road and blocking right turning traffic.

Funny enough there is a small bike symbol painted on the road next to the curb just before the crosswalk. I pointed it out but the drivers' responses were "Nah, nah, nah, you're wrong."

Edit:

Yes I agree with a lot of the drivers' comments; cyclists should obey the same traffic rules as drivers. I waited at the red lights, stopped at signs, and used hand signals. Not all cyclists are rule breaking idiots just like how not all drivers are ignorant that bicycles are considered vehicles.
