    If they don’t want to smash into things, they can drive to the conditions. Their cars have lights, it’s just a matter of using them properly by driving at an appropriate speed.

      the ‘conditions’ dont include a maniac camouflaging dangerous objects to purposely make innocent people crash.

        If they didn’t smash into the bin, then sooner or later they’d risk smashing people instead. Drag would rather bins be run over than people. They won’t be innocent when their reckless driving gets someone killed.

          Actually, I agree! We should also shoot dead drug users and lowlifes… otherwise they’re going to hurt someone eventually!

            Letting reckless drivers run over a bin won’t cause any deaths unless they’re going fast enough to turn a pedestrian into red paint. For all real world cases, it’ll simply be a bit of self-inflicted property damage.

              okay. i suppose a more similar comparison would be the police distributing laced weed (or other drugs, if weed is legal where u live). it only hurts the druggies who are reckless enough to take drugs, right ?

              you are also forgetting the fact that a painted bin will still be an inconvenience for the well-intentioned driver. you arent making it better for them. you are only making it detrimental to those who dont react in time.

                It’ll be better for responsible drivers. They can just drive around it easily once they see it, and they won’t have to share the road with reckless drivers, because the reckless drivers will have cars with smashed fronts. That’s a few seconds in exchange for possibly saving their lives.

                And it’s not the same as laced weed, because smoking weed doesn’t hurt anyone, and laced weed does. Reckless driving kills people, and black brick bins don’t. It’s the opposite way around.

                  but weed can hurt you. it wont always. maybe it is unlikely even. but it can. same with reckless driving. if it were 100% chance u would die, people wouldnt do it.

                    You’re talking about weed hurting the smoker, but drag is talking about reckless driving hurting helpless bystanders. Those aren’t the same.
