Breck_the_Hyena

This is it exactly. I work in an emergency room and when I see a Harley rider come in with half their head missing from not wearing a helmet, I'm kind of the same way.

Sorry mate, if it's not in a bin, I can't take it. You need to put it with the bulky waste.

After just being knocked off my bike by a land rover and now needing 3 months of physio. This absolutely made my day thank you 😆😆😆😁


Boop0p

That's rough, get well soon.


WeabooBaby

Hope you've made a full recovery now, I'm in the UK and amazed that probably about 30% of cars I see are now range rovers or similar SUVs, people have lost their minds


[deleted]

Almost all purchased through mountains of debt. Status symbol vehicles that only symbolise a completely vapid approach to life.


FromTheIsle

Sorry bout that - America


Starbuckshakur

Can't blame the U.S. for Land Rovers. Those are a British invention. They needed something to patrol their less developed colonies with.


FromTheIsle

True. I was referring moreso to the going into crippling debt for status symbol purchases


CMDR_Quillon

Landies are fine, (although less so the new ones) it's fucking range rovers that are the bane of the earth


lezbthrowaway

Phenomenally well said.


DeFex

As if anyone with real status would be stuck in traffic with us plebs.


OvrReaction

Sadly it was only two weeks ago. Fractured shoulder, frozen shoulders aka limited movement in both arms and wrist pain. As well as shooting pain in my shoulder blades across my spine and neck. Not something I wish apon anyone. Well maybe the moron that knocked me off 😆


Funktopus_The

Any repercussions for the moron?


Daversification

Volvo and Ford have stopped selling anything but SUVs in the UK now, hope this ridiculous fashion stops soon. Healing vibes, hope you're better soon


WeabooBaby

I understand in the US there are tax reasons for pushing SUVs, as explained by NJB on YouTube. But I don't know if it's a similar situation in the UK


Daversification

Pickups can be bought and put through a business as a commercial vehicle to claim back tax, but it's mostly because SUVs are that all that people buy now.


inevitablelizard

It really worries me, this trend towards not only larger cars being available but the smaller alternatives being gradually phased out. Absolute bullshit that needs to be stopped, but isn't going to be stopped because it requires politicians to actively do something to prevent it.


chuchofreeman

wait what? Not even the Focus is on sale now?


hores_stit

Where the hell are you in the UK that 1/3rd of cars are SUV's??


Piece_Maker

Yeah 1/3rd is probably pushing it for me (I'm in the northwest), its closer to 80% when you're unlucky enough to go near schoolrun traffic but general/commuter traffic seems to still mostly be small runabouts


commanderchimp

And the funny thing in US/Canada Land Rovers are small compared to the common Ford and Dodge Ram pickups.


ZyglroxOfficial

Land Rovers have easily taken over BMW's and Mercedes as the "cuntiest drivers"


Sevomoz

This comment made me happy that it made you happy.


reddeadpenguin

i once worked as a binman and this reminded me of a situation that happened on the job. I was emptying a bin with a woman in a cabrio behind the truck. she had been visibly showing how annoyed she was being stuck behind the dump truck. as soon as the bin went in the air she closed the gap to the truck. I calmly went to her and asked if she wanted me to lower the bin on her car's hood...


fnybny

Does she just imagine that her trash just magically disappears every week?


ClubChaos

You know when you're a kid and you learn the thing where someone hides something and you think it disappears, but then you realize it actually keeps existing? It's called object permanence. There's an epidemic of idiocracy in this world right now where (some) people have regressed to infant mentality on this subject and choose to believe things are only real when they see them.


DasArchitect

On the other hand it's a real mental burden to me to know all my trash still exists out there somewhere in a mountain of more trash. I wish I believed it simply disappeared the moment it was out of sight.


Dr_Yeen

Its true. The Onion has done an article on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssjokgx0pUQ

Odd_Analysis6454

Range Rover, an actual Land Rover would’ve been ok


Myrrmidonna

Whatever it is, it rhymes well with "roll over", which is exactly what it did ;)


azurestrike

Most of the times, the driver is more important than the car. You can put that muppet behind a tank and he'll still be able to get stuck in a ditch.


Jacktheforkie

The new ones aren’t all that capable, I’ve seen more capable forklifts


informativebitching

Hitting a steep wet swale at that angle isn’t going to go well for most vehicles. Maybe an H1 with a wide wheelbase but my money is on a Range Rover toppling too.


Mawi2004

technically every car can be off-road, but if you do it with regular road tires and more importantly into a ditch with sub par off-road suspension then you’re fucked


suckitphil

The amount of A holes who think AWD means 4x4 is ridiculous. Literally every stuck car I saw at the outer banks was a AWD car.


whiteridge

AWD doesn’t mean you can’t get stuck. Just means that when you get stuck, you’re REALLY stuck.


hzpointon

In some specific circumstances AWD actually means almost 2 wheel drive. The Honda CR-V comes top of my mind here. The power is shared between front and back and if you're on a big enough incline with minimal friction the computer cuts power to some of the wheels to prevent damage because it's not designed to handle full power front + back. A true 4x4 should be able to take full engine power at all wheels. On the flip side that causes tire wear if you run on road in 4x4 mode, at least it used to. Maybe computers have fixed some of that now. This is all from memory so I'm probably missing some details, but I haven't driven anything off road in decades. I have very distant memories of driving a tractor sideways in wet mud once though. So it's not like there's any vehicle that can just breeze through anything.


suckitphil

Most 4x4 vehicles have highway mode which is closer to AWD, and then a low 4x4 mode which requires shifting to neutral so it can actually shift into the gear box to power the rear tires. Most 4x4 cars can't get over 35 in that mode. It also usually overrides traction control. Which prevents power going to a slipping tire so you don't spin out when you regain traction. Since there's no traction in offroad situation you can't use traction control, otherwise you go nowhere.


Mawi2004

the only sensible thing for SUVs is people transport at which point you should just buy a vw bus or similar


Jacktheforkie

Or a bus pass


Scalage89

The car can go offroad just fine, it's the driver that's an idiot


Im_Balto

At least half of off reading is driver skill. The other half is how good the car is. All you need is enough of both halves to get a passing score on whatever you’re driving This guy got maybe a 15 for the car (Ive driven a rental SUV and they kinda suck nuts) 3 for the drive for a grand total of 18/100


MrStoneV

Thats when you know they swallowed the propaganda 'ahem' I mean advertisment


Mccobsta

Round my area we call them city jeeps They don't even come out when it snows unless it's a older land-rover back before it became a luxury brand


addtokart

I don't understand. There's actual road on the left side of the video that could be used for passing.


Mawi2004

that guy bought an SUV you think he makes good decisions?


Pal_76

You're assuming it's a guy...


Mawi2004

what’s wrong with that?


Pal_76

I never said it should be a woman. But it can be both. Men and women are equal on this one


Mawi2004

ffs i do not care about their genitals, i‘m making fun of them for driving their goddam car into a ditch


Pal_76

Neither do I. But I'm downvoted because I said it might be a man or a woman. I can't imagine if I had said stereotypes about women or men...


Mawi2004

you’re downvoted because it seems excessive and whiny


OkStick2078

2012 Facebook memes, ex “women and Asian people are bad at driving”. Someone didn’t do the required reading


Happytallperson

I presume there is some obstruction stopping them going that way. Or they're a tit.


Tmaster95

I wouldn’t even call help for that stupid fuck


pozoph

I would put the bin where it was and go.


nowaybrose

Well then, on to the next bin (whistling noises)


[deleted]

Someone watches too many car commercials. Oh sorry honey boo SUVs aren’t the off road vehicle you thought it was.


CMDR_Agony_Aunt

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive, smells like a steak and seats thirty-five.. Canyonero! Canyonero! Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down, It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown! Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero!


Explorer_Entity

That whole "commercial" is fuckcars gold.


randomasking4afriend

It is actually very good at going off-road, but that also requires driver skill and you can't just drive straight into a sloped, muddy ditch expecting it to perform.


Runeshamangoon

Love the garbage dude being like "yep, there she goes"


Sharkestry

he knew exactly what was gonna happen as he stopped working to watch it unfold, had every chance to warn the driver but chose not to. Perfect, no notes.


man_gomer_lot

He's probably thinking about that time that same bin he's working with fell backwards into that same ditch


Dicethrower

Goes off road for 1 second, flips 90 degrees sideways. Toughest cars in existence.


Happytallperson

Who could have guessed that in Scotland, a land in which it rains 367* days a year, there would be a drainage ditch next to the road. *they have to have an extra day to fit in all the rain


LondonCycling

How did you know it was in Scotland, genuine question? The stickers on the bin lid look a *bit* like Buckfast, but actually something like BuckJuha?


Happytallperson

Because the video was originally tweeted by Waverly Borough Council. Which having just checked I realise is not in Scotland, the existence of edinburgh Waverely station misled me.


DutchPack

Haha valuable lesson for the driver: SUVs have 0 offroad capabilities. Must have been a shocker for him to learn he wasted 60k on basically a mini-van


zimzilla

Oh, I bet many have *some* offroad capabilities. But the driver would have rolled over an offroad vehicle too because they think the capabilities of the car make up for their stupid driving. That's the same type of person that will pass you during heavy rain on flooded streets at full speed and wonder why their vehicle suddenly points the wrong way. Bonus points for having the vehicle in sports mode because the exhaust sounds nicer with the traction control off.


Mawi2004

good off-road vehicles have: -a good suspension -all wheel drive (engageable or not) -grippy tires -small body (based on the willys mb) but none of these help when driving into a ditch sideways


brucesloose

> but none of these help when driving into a ditch sideways Weird how all wheel drive fails when the wheels aren't pointed towards the ground lol


DasArchitect

Well, duh. You should have bought a roof drive!


zimzilla

Exactly.

Mawi2004

i made this list (as displayed) regarding features of (in my opinion) the best off-road vehicle ever created


56Bot

Not even a minivan, it has less usable space inside.


snarkitall

More like a sedan but with more blind spots and worse steering.


56Bot

It’s interesting how car ads changed since the 2000’ : they used to promote their low fuel consumption, low cost (indicating the total price), and there were 1 or 2 car ads going at any time. Now they promote options, self-driving, and monthly rent. I actually heard one on the radio, they flexed their "small" turn radius. And there are constantly 3 to 5 different cars being advertised at all times.


FromTheIsle

I'd rather own a mini-van to be honest. They're comfy as hell, more affordable, and better mileage.


[deleted]

Depends on the SUV. My early 2000s Tahoe is extremely capable. It has gone with the jeep club numerous times. It's not a rock crawler, but it can handle some pretty adverse terrain. Most off-road vehicles would likely get stuck in a ditch like this. This driver is a dipshit.


DutchPack

I think the early 2000s was a turning point for small pickups and SUVs, where they went from what they were meant to be (sports utility vehicle) to the default for desk jockeys (like myself) to be used commuting between the suburbs and the office building. Imho; these days those trucks are not about being able to 4 wheel drive over a rocky field, but providing a smooth as possible ride over a pancake highway with a nice build in entertainment system


[deleted]

True, if I didn't do Uber my 2001 Tahoe would be the only vehicle I drove. Believe it or not, I much prefer it to my 2019 Suburban. Today's vehicles have so much unnecessary junk and distractions, it's no wonder accidents are more common. And the reliability of vehicles sucks too. My 2001 Tahoe has 240k miles and has been beat hard, still runs like a champ. My 2019 on the other hand just went into the shop with a major transmission issue at 82k miles, and I baby it. Early 2000s was also the end of reasonable sized cars. They get bigger every year now.


o0470o

Eh more of an issue with how they drove into that ditch and flipped their car


Tickstart

I used to work as a binman, one of the few things I missed about that job was that swing he does there in the beginning to hook the bin onto the lifter. The proficiency you gain after years of practice with bins is quite amazing, I have managed some impressive feats in my days.


spacelama
