The pickup is all-electric. The power pole is part of the government plan to support EV sales in the Kingdom. Don't knock it when you can crash it. ????

KhunBENQ Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) "Power pole of the day". Couldn't that be a generic pinned thread? And this damned rain that makes slippery road. Yet again And we will never know the outcome of the drunk driving test. Quality pole beats thin metal sheet.

Benmart Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Pickups, SUVs and now more powerful motorscooters/mototcycles are in the hands of maniacs, who have no business driving anything bigger than a bicycle with training wheels. And aside from those who are suppose to ensure roadway safety, there is the general public. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandtee Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 It's time for a crackdown on power poles! They are causing too many accidents. Not a week goes past before one leaps in front of a vehicle. It's becoming too much. Where are our police? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I now don't even bother wondering about in which street this sort of accident happens. It's always the same one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
