Saw a guy in italy almost ram a cop car atan intersection. I think the driver was running a red light, but could have been the cop running a red. Anyhow, the driver breaks just before the cop car, and the cop on the passanger side just gesticulates his discontent but they just keep rolling on anyway. They could not be bothered.
in Italy
Just gesticulates his discontent
Wait, I think I know how that looked like.
Are you saying you want more active enforcement?
I’m saying I’d bet it was 🤌🤌
Italian drivers are fucking insane, it was probably just Tuesday for the cop
Lmao im pretty sure that’s the face brad pitt makes in burn after reading right before clooney shoots him in the fucking face. I fucking love that movie
It is.
I had planned to watch it this weekend for the first time 🥲
Go watch it. This guy is making shit up.
Thanks Mr Chicolismo
Sure. Let me know what you thought.
You’ll have to wait for Sunday 😅
Still curious.
f my bad, didnt even think about spoilers
Image from the funniest part of a movie that I won’t spoil because I was surprised and wish I could watch it again for the first time.
What movie?
Pretty sure he is talking about Burn After Reading, the green text image is from that movie.
Burn After Reading https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0887883/
I’m assuming Tommy Boy:
I accidentally spoiled that part for my wife. I had already seen it several times before and was watching it again with her. She had her head on my chest and apparently my heart started beating faster at the ramp up to that part, so she knew what was about to happen and called it right before it happened.
You’ll 100% be on national news if you do this in South Korea.
Then he gets a 100k hospital bill later.
Still not in jail.
Only 75k since he didn’t have to take an ambulance
Long-term, I honestly don’t know whether this is the cheaper option. DUIs make insurance pricy.
In the states.
Anywhere else the cop would ask why tf didn’t you just take an ambulance like a normal person
Hey I’ll have you know that in Australia an ambulance can cost >$1000 without insurance!
The problem is so serious that they run seminars in schools telling students to not hesitate calling for ambulances, because human lives are worth more than $1000.

Fair enough. I’m pretty sure it costs something where I live, but everything else would be free.
“I fled”
In America it’s not surprising to drive while stabbed!
Can we start doing the Russia jokes but American.
In Democratic America school finishes you.
In Capitalists America the ambulance service rides you
In Capitalists America you aid the health care
Maybe not so much the last one? I’d say in other countries with free healthcare “we” would aid health care through taxes. I get your joke though haha.
Do people in the states pay taxes to health care?
You’re also not legally required to pay medical bills in the states.
I’m not from there, but I guess you’d have to give fake information?
Nope you have to give your real info. But the worst they can do is send debt collectors after you, which you can easily ignore.
Doesn’t it affect your credit score or something? I would think there would be some repercussions? Interest on the amount you owe?
You can just ignore hospital bills, and they can’t refuse treatment if you don’t pay.
So don’t worry about it; throw the bills in the trash, block the debt collectors’ numbers, and carry on with your life. I have been doing this for over 30 years now.
Must have been in Europe. I’m America the cop woulda shot him. Also probably smelled the booze. Also as an American over never been drunk enough (not even when I had alcohol poisoning that one time) to think theat such legal consequences would be cheaper than a trip to the hospital.
Fun fact, hospitals routinely do tox screens. OP isn’t just a bullshitter, he’s a bad bullshitter lol
Or yaknow it doesn’t matter that he is shitfaced, he is having a medical emergency. In that case nobody would think “oh no he drank alcohol he should’ve walked to the hospital”.
In Europe nobody in their right mind would drive themselves to the hospital if they have an emergency. Sometimes it makes sense if someone else drives the injured person there, but most of the time we would just call an ambulance. Here in Germany you have to pay 10€ at most for one trip.
Ambulances aren’t the answer 100% of the time and there are cases where your chances are better if you drive straight to the hospital. Obviously get someone to drive you if possible. But if not, driving yourself is better than dying waiting for the ambulance to get to you and get you back to the hospital in double the time.
So risking the people on the road’s life and yours is better than only risking your own?
Are you American?
It seems to me that drunk driving is much more accepted in the US than in Europe.
It definitely is. Public transportation is basically never an option and Ubers are expensive so most Americans don’t even think about those options. Then there are other problems like Americans not forcing their friends to stay the night when drunk, not having dependable social circles, and a lot of rural folk thinking that no one will be on the roads anyways. It’s a mess is what it is, haven’t even been able to stop family from doing it.
Having lived in both - often having a half pint of 4%. lager is enough to prevent people from driving, in the US having two pints of 7.5% IPA and smoking weed wouldn’t been seen as unusual before a 30 min drive home.
Eh, in my state, the legal limit is low enough (0.05% BAC) that you could be over the limit with that lager. In every other state you can have two regular drinks and be under the limit (0.08% BAC), though many states have a zero tolerance (0% BAC) if you’re under 21.
Oh, and if you’re a POC, the BAC limit is cut in half.
Unfortunately not everywhere in Europe…source: am Austrian and our peoples attitude to drunk driving is fucked up
I live in bumfuck, Denmark. The amount of drunk people getting into their car is crazy. We’re talking 6-10 drinks in. My wifes uncle lost his license for two years, but that was due to speeding. He got his license back, and still drunk drives. He’s an asshole we only see during big family gatherings.
So insane, how they then also see no fault in themselves. Only in the evil police who would not let them go places in piece, aaargh…
It’s a greentext. The default is to assume it’s BS.
Fun fact, hospitals routinely do tox screens.
Yeah, when there’s a medical need.
No, in Europe this would’ve immediately triggered a criminal investigation.
“Someone’s been stabbed and they casually drive to the hospital cuz ambulance is too expensive, this is regular day stuff lemme give them a ride” is only a normal occurance in the US and Lebanon.
incredible if true
Sounds hard to believe. Or maybe the cops in my city have less empathy.
If you were conscious but stabbed, a police officer would absolutely spend a few minutes writing a report while waiting for paramedics.
Driving while intoxicated, they might still fine you for that.
If you were brown and drunk, they’d probably arrest you.
If you were brown, drunk, and the knife was within arms reach, you’d be tased and arrested for assaulting the officer.
The point I’m trying to make: being stabbed does not stop a police officer from doing their favorite job in the world — beating innocent people.
Tasted
Depends, cops also HATE fucking working if they got some where to be.
I’ve seen city cops in fact, let off some pretty bad drunk driving just because they don’t want to deal with it.
