That’s why you don’t park under Stop Signs

Only thing that would’ve made that better was if that short, angry mother fricker was videoing it...

This is why I could never live in NYC. In the south people would be trying to help direct the driver to get him out of the bind he is in. In NYC they taunt him and laugh at him and try to coax a fight between he and the owner of the car.


People up north aren’t gonna help a black man out unless they know for sure they are on camera. They may not have realized the guy was filming it.

with a really annoying voice


Driver is obviously having a very bad day fricking shite up left and right, and all the cameraman can do is follow him around recording his frick-ups and give an annoying commentary. I was waiting for the driver to knock his arse out.

Vertical video, and not one pause on the truck door so we can know who he drives for.


I hate amateur videographers.

You are correct that they are not allowed, however they appear to have special permits for the longer trailers for special occasions .

quote:

Trucks with 53-foot trailers may only travel on the portions of I-95, I-695, I-295, and I-495 that cross the city between the Bronx-Westchester County line and Queens-Nassau County line. 53-foot trailers carrying non-divisible loads must apply for a New York City Permit.

was that car parked legally?

Probably started in a legal parking spot. My guess is that the truck dragged it to the spot that we see in the video.


Maybe, but the one on the corner of the street it appears the truck is trying to turn down isn't parked legally either, as far as I can tell. Very close to the intersection/crosswalk.

But if that blue car was parked there they entire time, he was asking for trouble. Pass the stop sign line and well into the crosswalk.

That car appears to be illegally parked but the bigger concern maybe the dead fire hydrant.

Yeah. I was going to say that I hope there isn't a fire around any time soon.

Trucking compAny I used to work for had a special team of drivers that brought freight into NYC. They had a yard in Newark where the OTR drivers would drop the trailer and the NYC drivers would hook up to the trailers and bring them to the final destination in the city. These drivers were used to maneuvering a semi in the city and knew all the best routes to take.

Well to be honest. He’s a terrible driver and those people parked like assholes.
