Tokyo taxi driver arrested for allegedly running into and killing pigeon
A taxi driver in Tokyo has been arrested on suspicion of driving into a flock of pigeons and killing one of the birds in Shinjuku Ward in November.
"Ozawa has reportedly admitted that the charge is true. He told the officials that roads belong to humans and pigeons are the ones who should get out of the way."
Shut and close case boys. Pack that sick FUCK away for life and may pigeon God have mercy on his soul.
Only acceptable response is death by taxi.
I think it’s fair to assume a pigeon will fly away before the car gets there.
Costanza?
WE HAVE A DEAL!!
Good. Honestly there is no good reason for anyone to hit an animal if you are a well-trained and attentive driver. Negligent or intentionally, it's just one step from killing a person.
I'm all for defensive driving, but if an animal (or someone) jumps at the front of your car at the last moment, how can you avoid it?
Clearly by swerving into a light pole like any rational driver.
look/scan ahead as you always should be. don't text and drive. don't eat and drive. don't shave and drive. look at sidewalks, driveways, and through windshields to see if you can spot a small person behind a car, or even for feet or a cat underneath the car. if you can't see clearly enough to stop in time; go slower. Plenty of ways to know what's coming and avoid hitting it. Nothing will just pop up in front of you if you scan ahead because you should already know what could possibly jump in front of you. This is the best we can do in this case of putting the liabilities of driving on the driver. You have the big heavy vehicle that can kill things- drive like it.
