The woman is reportedly denying the charges saying during voluntary questioning that she was not aware that the suitcase is a vehicle that requires a driver’s license.
When you start to realize that there could be too many laws on the books.
The audacity of that woman!
I need that shirt.
It seems to be really well thought out. Like the original meme is nice too:
But would be a lot of paint that would flake off easily so the above design looks like it would work much better for a shirt:-).
Bring back 1970s iron-ons!
And clothing that lasts for
more thanat least one year, sheesh!But were people allowed to say “bitch” back then? Truly we have advanced in so many ways!:-)
Oh yeah definitely not. I’d have been grounded for weeks even in the 80s.
This is when you would respond “Bitch, I said what I said” (Doja Cat, Paint the Town Red), right?! Hrmm… me neither:-P.
The best is not having to dress up for work. I had a couple of years of that and then transitioned to jeans/sweats/shorts and t-shirt for the past 35 years. That sucked and thank goodness pantyhose is or less gone.
And now many people work from home, in like pajamas or equivalent. Personal toilet, snacks, that’s the life! :-)
I still feel funny about calling my female dog a bitch. But not when I call a person a bitch. I use it most in phrases like “they’re just going to bitch about it”
I think it probably depends on the person and whether they would be okay with it or not? Like is it silly such as “Bish pulease”, whereas I’ve never once heard someone call someone else like a “cunt” (UK, and I guess Australia?) and had it be any kind of okay. But rap culture seems to have redeemed bitch… maybe, for some people?
Edit: as always, it’s the consent that makes all the difference.
Carrying on on her carry on, like a carrion.
It has a max speed of 13 kph, that’s practically crawling. And she was on a sidewalk. This is just much ado about nothing
She was scootin’ around on one of these. Here is another link, of Marques Brownlee giving specs and driving one.
That’s not really a suit case though. That’s a foldable bike.
I guess you are right, my bad. Still the commercial for it is hilarious.
For anyone who doesn’t want to watch a YouTube video, here are images: https://japantoday.com/category/crime/motorized-suitcase-rider-referred-to-prosecutors-for-1st-time
This is the purest form of battery-on-wheels I can imagine and I find this highly amusing.
Except the one Marques has can go 15mph, or about 24kph, almost twice that of the one in the article.
My bad.
Smh that’s clearly a class 0.5 ebike and drivers just need to share the road /s
Since wind does riding an ebike require a license?
If it can accelerate without pedal-assist, it’s not an ebike in many jurisdictions, likely including Japan.
Japan might not have a category for e-bikes. The article says the suitcase was considered a motorbike.
Since legislators realized that mopeds had been invented.
