Yeah V i totally agree with ya there...pretty cool breakthrough! Reminds me of the movie Awakenings with DeNiro and Williams using L-dopa to wake up the patients. (Illness escapes me now, on phone and too tired to look it up)
Oh, i did find an advisory circular from the FAA but it had to do with vehicles operating on the airport for the airport. Any rate...it did say all planes have the right of way unless otherwise specified by air traffic control (with operations at a towered airport)

It's a private road but there's a stop sign(painted on pavement) on both sides of the runway.

I agree that the vehicle is much better equipped to stop than the airplane is. And regardless of the "right of way", no one wants a collision, this wasn't some air to ground game of chicken. If the kid jumped out from between cars, I'd fucking dynamite the brakes--despite the fact that I have the right of way (assuming I did have the right of way). Not only am I not a lawyer, I am no pilot either (though I do have a new honorific, TBA) but that just looked like he came in too low. I just don't know that I'd be thinking, "Ooooh, better watch out for airplanes."

I think the car was most at fault but I don't know what the legalities are about stop signs on private roads, especially when it's painted on the road instead of the normal octagon. I found out in PA the cops can ticket you for blowing a stop sign in a mall parking lot.

I was thinking for myself that I wouldn't see the plane because I wouldn't look for the plane because I've been driving a LONG time and I just never look out for planes. God knows how many close calls I've had!!

He did kind of a rolling stop, probably glancing to his right to see if there was a plane taking off.

Actually, now that I think about it, I can only say for certainty that this is true in Texas. But I bet it's true everywhere. You can't have a law that even implies it might be okay to hit someone in certain circumstances. Better to make it always illegal, and then use legal discretion to not bring charges against the driver when it was clearly unavoidable. |
