I don't think the bolded is true. Driving a race car on a closed circuit, yes (especially when combined with a 5 pt harness and HANS device).

On regular roads this set up would impair senses and the ability to shoulder check, or perhaps even lean forward where your view is obstructed. And adding any weight to your head could exacerbate neck injuries.

I'm not even a dog lover but what a horrible way to die. She should get jail time.
I get that people are concerned about being liable for breaking a window, and you don't want to be giving precedence to just go busting them out whenever an animal is in a car, but once the dog appears so distressed that the car starts shivering from the panting I think you have a pretty good case to smash that glass.

This may surprise some of you, but I would wager that many average Canadians would struggle to break a car window without a tool or weapon of some sort. Both fitness wise and just technically. Breaking car windows is not that easy.

Yeah, you gotta find an object with some weight and a point.

The witnesses were all spineless, in a society we depend on people doing the right thing for people and animals. All of those aholes are so useless.

Why are we assuming they didn't try? Go try and break your car window right now with your bare hands.

That's when you need a cyclist nearby with a U-lock. Cyclists, is their anything they can't do?

Didn't this happen at Fish Creek? Surely there was a rock nearby?

I don't think anyone would expect to break a car window with their bare hands. You need a heavy, sharp object or yes, a rock.

As someone who has done it before...

Use your elbow.

You need to concentrate pressure on a small point.

A-holes that get away with being a-holes because "that's just their personality".

You know the type. The alpha-minded idiot that gets off on making other people uncomfortable and feel stupid because...I don't know why. I do know the reason they get away with it is because everybody they've done this to has laughed it off instead of calling them an a-hole (seriously, we need to adjust the swear filter).

They’re the funnest people to bully. You run the risk of people thinking you’re an ####### for it, but by far the easiest and most rewarding type of person to #### with.

Why does Canada revenue agency ask if you'd like the option for them to not ask you a security question every time you log in and then continue to ask for a security question after agreeing for them to not ask you a question every time?

I'm pretty sure it specifically says the "no security question" lasts for like 8 hours.

You are correct. That website is even worse than I thought.

Have to log in for no reason tonight so my account doesn't get deleted. Thanks Nenshi.
