Right - they should install an airbag on that bridge.

There are a few close calls that I did not think fit the precise criteria of the squares (e.g., insurance, crash beam, “city is irresponsible”, etc.).

If the drivers in front of that truck hadn’t run the red light, this wouldn’t have happened!

P.s. I know they weren’t running the light. And I don’t actually stand by this statement. I just needed the win for someone today.

They didn’t follow my advise : lower the bridge !

Liked for this alone.

I appreciate the effort but I think that’s cheating. Maybe the mods should decide. @orenwolf?

Now we have a quantum state-transition paradox. How will we know if someone was sincere or if they just wanted a bingo!

But, so, then why aren’t the drivers responsible for the safety of their trucks?

Third time is a charm? I doubt it, but let’s try anyway:

As I wrote above:

Ultimately each driver IS individually responsible for their vehicle, but at some point the city becomes responsible for the collective damage the bridge is causing. I submit that that point lies somewhere between zero and 80 wrecked trucks per year.

There is nothing wrong - or contradictory - with blaming each driver for their own crash AND blaming the city for all the crashes caused by their bridge.

which is an obvious mirroring of
THE ONE THING I THOUGHT OF DIDN’T WORK SO LET’S JUST PLACE THE BLAME SOLELY ON THE DRIVERS
Can we get that as a square?

Really, this is just a narrower case of “the driver is an idiot”, so it’s already represented by the center square.

Fully automatic marshmallow peep cannon!

Hundreds of marshmallow peeps pummel the truck windshield as soon as they get halfway through the intersection. Surprising and (theoretically) biodegradable.

Unfortunately, there are no peeps to be had due to COVID-19.

As it turns out, “Peeps shortage” is on neither my 11-foot-8 bingo card nor my 2020 batshittery bingo card.

Giant motorized steel poles that shoot out of the ground blocking the road obviously and completely when the laser is already tripped?

I love watching trucks get decapitated it’s such a fun Channel
