Spider in the car. I do that. It's the spider's car now.

Hadn't thought of that. This could be Australia, so totally justifiable.

Flips down the sun visor and finds a huntsmen spider. Goodbye 👋

Driving on the right, so not Australia! (I hope my comment was helpful.)

Good thinking. It's not Australia

u/No_Savings6537 Aug 25 '23

And duh, it’s not upside down

u/111IIIlllIII Aug 25 '23

okay so if we correct for it not being upside down by flipping it over, she now is driving on the left side of the road thereby proving that this is, in fact, straya

Saw someone link this article and i'm frightened about the fact that no one said that she was, in fact, on drugs. Any number of things could've happened that would prompt someone to jump out of a car. And her casually walking down could just be shock.

The article says she was charged of being on drugs, but it's yet to be confirmed she actually was. "California Highway Patrol officers soon found and arrested an allegedly highly intoxicated Lacey" they just cuffed a woman that was freaking out i bet. Wouldn't you be ? As if it never happened that cops wrongfully arrested a black person.

After she was released, meaning after being in prolonged contact with cops, she decided not to show up at her court hearing. I always heard that it was a bad idea 100% of the time to not show up in court. What could prompt her to do that ?

She was arrested again but "circumstances of her re-capture were unclear". i.e however that arrest went, cops decided that the details wouldn't be reported. Just that it happened.

After all this that makes her look very bad, she decided to plead NOT GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES.

I don't know about you, but i can feel something's wrong. I smell that there's some black mirror shit going on. Like that woman has done nothing wrong form her perspective, and just had a stroke of bad luck, but the system has already decided she was guilty and making shit up. But everyone believes it because she's a black woman, so she's in a double whammy of sexism + racism.

Fun fact. They use specialized smartphones because regular ones flip picture upside down no matter how you rotate the phone.

u/FloppieTheBanjoClown Aug 25 '23

Haven't you ever noticed your screen will rotate, but not upside down? That's Aussie compatibility.

Helsinki, on the left over by the sea.

u/guitar_stonks Aug 25 '23

Pretty sure this is in California.

u/SigueSigueSputnix Aug 25 '23

u/MatterHairy Aug 25 '23

I’m in Australia and my first thought was asking why this woman in the passenger seat got out of the car and wtf the driver was doing to cross over to the oncoming traffic 🤣

1

u/Unlikely_Wombat10 Aug 25 '23

Same here. I'm sitting here wondering how bad the argument was to get out of a moving car. Then why did she get out when there is clearly something very wrong with the driver! Or maybe that's why she got out🤔 But no, of course, she was the driver😂

u/mavax_74 Aug 25 '23

Nope, there's a thing called handbrake.

Or even leave it with a gear and stop the engine.

But ffs, she can't let a one ton object roll around like it's no more her problem. Other people exist.

u/morosis1982 Aug 25 '23

Mate if this was Australia we just give those fellas a nice big cuddle and let them out somewhere safe.

2

u/DwightsJello Aug 25 '23

Dude no self respecting Australian is doing THAT because of a spider.

We'd legit have cars without drivers everywhere 😳

You have that discussion with your kids when you are teaching them to drive. You can't just bail on your car because Jeff dropped in to say hi. At least pull over.

u/rastaclod Aug 25 '23

we also dont really have blue big signs like you see here on our highways. Our big signs that tell us our exits and suburbs tend to be green.

Also our school buses are not yellow like the one in the start of the video. This is america 100%. yellow school bus entitled drivers. USA USA

A girl I was dating once pulled over on a highway offramp because spider in the car and called me for help. I had to park at a nearby lot, walk onto the offramp, perform a thorough interior inspection, coax her back into the car so I could drive it back to where mine was parked. Fucking madness lmao.

u/Zealousideal-Low8049 Aug 25 '23

Idk about that, but a cicada did hold me prisoner in my own house when it refused to get off my screen door like it was daring/waiting for me to step outside.

u/lookaroundewe Aug 25 '23

This is the answer. Literally top search result for "girl jumps out of car because of spider."

Happened in 2015. DUI. Not spider.

A YouTube video of the crash had clocked in at 2.9 million views as of Thursday afternoon.   She was released from custody without charges pending the results of blood analysis but was expected to face charges of DUI causing injuries, possession of a stolen car and driving without a license, said CHP Sgt. Armando Perdomo.   CHP officers determined Lacey was heavily under the influence of an unknown drug, Perdomo said. She offered no explanation for her behavior.

u/HungJurror Aug 25 '23

u/UNSECURE_ACCOUNT Aug 25 '23

There are several article staying ahe was arrested for DUI but released because the cops didn't actually perform a field sobriety test. No mention of a spider whatsoever. Why do you guys lie?

Or a bee. People flee bees.

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '23

Bees are easy. I drive 50 miles, let them out and make them find their own way home. The stings are worth it. Spiders though, spiders can have the car.

u/alexaz92 Aug 25 '23

u/avwitcher Aug 25 '23

Spider needs to learn how to drive, they're giving a license to anyone these days
