Leni Riefenstahl approves these NHTSA PSAs!

"Click it or Ticket" PSAs from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Who writes this dreadful fearporn? 

It's so macabre and Dark, even for me. 🤣 

If the NHTSA wanted to make a real point, the reason given for collisions should have been..."all these people died because they were texting."

"Click It or Ticket" = Nothing but a revenue raiser. 

Go after drivers who are texting. The "Don't Text While You Drive" campaign hasn't stopped anyone. Of the people I see daily while driving the streets and freeways, the majority appear to be texting.

New Jersey man wearing N95 mask passes out while driving. Wrecks car, snaps telephone pole. (♬♬... And he had fun fun fun til the wifey took his T-Bird Away...♬♬)


A New Jersey man passed out and crashed into a telephone pole this week, and police believe the accident could have been avoided if he hadn’t worn an N95 mask while driving.

...wearing an N95 mask too long can cause someone to inadvertently restrict their oxygen — which is what they believed happened to a man who crashed his car on Thursday.

[The driver's] ruby red vehicle with a badly damaged front end. An additional photo from the scene showed a telephone pole snapped at its base.

The driver was transported to the hospital for a “complaint of pain” and he sustained no life-threatening injuries, the department said.

According to the California Department of Public Health, N95 respirators may make breathing more difficult and can lead to increased breathing and heart rates.
Driving while wearing an N-95 mask is dangerous. You should immediately drop everything you're doing and get the evaluation of a medical professional on whether or not you should wear one in the car, especially if driving alone like the guy in the story.

..."a complaint of pain." I think snapping a telephone pole with your car may contribute to that.

Civil servant compensated £10,000, claims portrait of queen he has to walk by offended his human rights.

(Not the real portrait).

[C]ivil servant] Lee Hegarty complained under human rights legislation he should not have to work in an office that featured paintings of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

After his complaint, the portraits were removed and replaced with photographs of the royals meeting people in Northern Ireland during official visits.

But Lord Maginnis said he was most outraged that the senior official’s dispute was settled in secret with the then-Northern Ireland Secretary, Theresa Villiers, who approved a £10,000 compensation payment for “hurt feelings and distress.
