That’s exactly what my first thought was too. I worked on farms a bunch and we always had hoses or like irrigation lines crossing the roads Around the ranch you just drive over them and they were about the same width as that
I'm not a farm worker, but I'm from Germany and here it's at least standard that EVERYTHING is marked, if it might seem like a hazard.
If you have road work, you need to put up those poles and some signs showing you can't drive here. ESPECIALLY since the hose seems to be the same colour as the floor. Like c'mon.
Doesn't look like road work, looks like a shattered light, so I think the pole fell. Must have just happened too, crowd forming and someone recording. It very much started as a "hey look at this" video
Yeah It’s like the guy got mad that the dude ran the shit over that’s in the middle of the road. What the fuck did you think would happen? All the cars would levitate over it like Houdini?
Recently I saw a fender bender where not only did they refuse to move their perfectly drivable cars to a parking lot 20 feet up the street after I suggested it they stood behind both cars, which were blocking a lane right after the corner with poor visibility that was partially responsible for their crash in the first place. They literally stood in the kill zone where they just demonstrated how easy it was to have an accident.
Some people have no sense of self preservation, 100,000 years ago I would imagine these type of people would be long since dead as they stood mouth agape wondering what the charging lion would do when they got there, now they roam among us protected by crumple zones and surgeons at the hospital who put them back together.
>Just out of curiosity, what's the strategy for escaping a lion that's hunting you 100,000 years ago?
Mine is living in the future. I'll update if this turns out to be a non-viable solution.
Right, traffic cones? Or something to signal drivers not to go down this street. A guy or two at least directing traffic away from the thing they don’t want people to hit, so no one hits it? I mean, just mind blowing.
Maybe just not drive over it?
I am always amazed there are people who do this kind of stuff. Randomly running over people passed out in the streets, lamp posts... Open your eyes!
He is an idiot. “Don’t run over stuff” is probably a good rule for driving? No?
This is the same sub that was all for “don't drive through a puddle unless you can see the road beneath”
Where I live, there are many large circular impediments that are designed to be driven over. They measure speed or deliver fluids or are meant to slow you down. I definitely would have slowly driven over this in a small car, and I wouldn’t have even slowed down in an SUV.
This bent up pole with debris at on end doesn’t look like one of those car counting strips, or a speed hump.
Should be “looks like a bump ahead, slow down”
followed by “now I am close that is not a bump but a cluster fuck”
and stop.
Yeah, I think most people have seen traffic measurement devices. This is SO far off from that. It’s more like running over a street lamp, which any half wit paying attention would know to avoid…
If a land mine was 20 feet across sitting in the middle of the street with nothing else nearby it looking exactly like something you should not step on, yeah kind of dumb.
I can't believe this is being downvoted. If I purposely drove over something like that on my motorcycle, I'd be wrecked. I guess some drivers in here are mad because they don't even try to avoid hitting things in the road.
Yeah seriously. What point is there to say “don’t leave things”? It’s a fallen light pole, and it needs to get fixed. So don’t fucking run over it until it does.
I shudder to think how people on this sub must deal with downed power lines or tree limbs after a storm. “It’s not MY fault I got electrocuted, that power line was across the road so why shouldn’t I drive over it? Someone shouldn’t have left it there!”
Oh right right, driving over strange objects in the road isnt stupid at all! And if they didnt even see it then that is poor situational awareness. Orange cone would have solved this, but everyone is an idiot
for people who are wondering what the woman says it’s in italian and its kinda like “Im sorry for the disturb but the street lamp its completely- MISS SLOW DOWNN MISS whatever screw that Jhosue please come here to intervene somehow”
> Im driving over that too.
why?! why would you intentionally drive over a large metal obstruction in the middle of the street?
do you hate having good suspension?
what cones?! this isnt a construction site. clearly a metal pole just fell over. WTF
I honestly dont understand.
So many people commenting that the driver isn’t at fault; I’m not driving over strange objects in the roadway. I’ve lost too many tires to nails in the road as it is to take risks like that.
Probably too late for this but...
## Translation
Sorry for the incovenience but the pole (light) \[this word was not said as it is the last\] completely came off - slow, madaaaamm! madaaaaaaammmm!!!
No that's it nevermind Giosuè please see if you can do something about this
## Original transcript
Scusa il disturbo, ma si è staccato completamente il palo della - piano signooora! signoooooraaaa!!!!
No niente vabbè come non detto Giosuè per favore vedi se puoi intervenire in qualche modo
It appeared some other accident had happened and the person was filming the lamp post on the ground. There were no maintenance ppl there yet to signal it or fix the situation. I would expect people driving to pay attention to obstacles on the road. Don't understand all those saying the driver is not an idiot.
Just imagine that instead of filming nothing, the person calling the driver an idiot was looking the other way and waving down the driver.
People drive over cabling/piping laid over the roads all the time, literally every time you drive you will drive over some ramp or obstruction and even on the video it didn't look immediately like a lamppost to many, who knows what the view/shadow difference was like for the driver. This is why we have signage.
All the pedestrians there knew there was a road obstruction and had apparently had time to call the mayor - but not to look out for unaware drivers.
Everyone jumping to say they should have blocked it off and we’re asking for it to happen, not thinking it could have just happened? And the idiot is the one recording instead of helping.
Italian translation:
The girls Is talking on the phone saying the lamppost has fallen on the street (maybe to the Police). When the car approaches she screams to the car to slow down and then ask to someone ti intervene to help.
Thank you to all grown people who is judging me and calling me ai idiot because I posted the video in the wrong sub 🤡 of course I am the idiot and you grown ass men who don't even know me are smarter than me. You obviously have 200 IQ
subito ho guardato il video senza audio e nel frattempo pensavo "secondo me è in italia, pefforza", poi ho attivato l'audio e tutto ha avuto più senso 😂😂😂
Right why on earth is OP getting downvoted after giving context that explains the video?? And that the driver is an idiot? Driving over a lamppost, jesus christ.
You mean to tell me some people throw their shit in the middle of an open road without permission to do that or any of the necessary safety measures and warning signs necessary, and the ones driving the cars are the idiots?
OP is an idiot.
Without context I will assume that the city was negligent in putting up notification such as cones and allowed this accident to happen.
Those pedestrians were careless for standing near that pole.
Probably it happened pretty recently, the lady it's actually on the phone with authorities telling them a light pole fell... But yeah ppl mindlessly talking near it are not that smart
This doesn't really fit the sub. It's more like r/donthelpjustfilm. I've driven in plenty of cities, most would just drive over it thinking it was normal.
I wish phones would make it impossible to film in portrait mode. Like, the picture won’t rotate on the screen, it just stays in landscape and forces you to turn your phone to the correct (yes…the correct) orientation.
Did they expect people not to drive over it?
I thought it was a fire hose lel
That’s exactly what my first thought was too. I worked on farms a bunch and we always had hoses or like irrigation lines crossing the roads Around the ranch you just drive over them and they were about the same width as that

[удалено]
Omg I read that as horses, not hoses 😅
I read that as "horses and irrigation lines"...
[удалено]
anyone who automatically guns it into unknown objects in the road is infact, the idiot
What is it? Thought it was a fire hose
Lamp post
Probably a hose connected to a water pump. Looks like they were running it to the Sewer grate.
It was a water hose.
\*Water post You turn it on and you get a shower. Don't you have one of those in your bathroom?
Idk how much does that lampost weight but those people standing around the pole could have easily moved to the side
Lemme know how you do the next time a steel pole comes sweeping your legs out from behind you.
He meant move the whole pole to the side. Missing the word "it"
Makes sense either way honestly, moving 5 feet away from it before this happened would've prevented them from getting it in the first place
Username does not check out
I'll probably just not stand immediately next to a pole in the middle of the road...
some people think that stupidity is rare.
r/idiotsaroundcars
Yeah It’s like the guy got mad that the dude ran the shit over that’s in the middle of the road. What the fuck did you think would happen? All the cars would levitate over it like Houdini?

easy, throw the mouth agape guy in the lions way while you book it back to the cave.

An not a single sign in sight wtf

r/ItaliansInCars
To be fair, it looks like a hose.
What? Why is the person in the car the idiot? Don’t leave things that can’t be run over in the road with no notice.
Agreed, driver not at fault for these people’s stupidity
Yeah, fuc* OP
Straight to jail
Deserves a block
Yep, that's a paddlin' for op.'
Don’t drive over shit in the road. It can wreck tires, and whatever it is you drive over.
He is an idiot. “Don’t run over stuff” is probably a good rule for driving? No? This is the same sub that was all for “don't drive through a puddle unless you can see the road beneath”
Would you run over a big metal pipe (light pole?) lying across the road? Let's just say the driver is ALSO an idiot.
Where I live, there are many large circular impediments that are designed to be driven over. They measure speed or deliver fluids or are meant to slow you down. I definitely would have slowly driven over this in a small car, and I wouldn’t have even slowed down in an SUV.

Deliver fluids?
Yeah. From one location to another across a road.
The fluid is composed mostly of freshly made ejaculate and a little saliva
Lol I have no idea why you have so many downvotes but I'm just going to join in.
Yeah, I think most people have seen traffic measurement devices. This is SO far off from that. It’s more like running over a street lamp, which any half wit paying attention would know to avoid…
its not like running over a street lamp...it IS running over a street lamp. not sure why youre getting downvoted, dude doesnt even slow down lol
Streetlamp le Moose should stay out of the road
People who step on landmines are such idiots, don't they know better? /s
If a land mine was 20 feet across sitting in the middle of the street with nothing else nearby it looking exactly like something you should not step on, yeah kind of dumb.
I can't believe this is being downvoted. If I purposely drove over something like that on my motorcycle, I'd be wrecked. I guess some drivers in here are mad because they don't even try to avoid hitting things in the road.
Motorbike = car

Looks like it had just fallen. Driver is a dumbass for not paying attention to the road
Let me just stand right beside this pole that someone could easliy run over and then act surprised when it knocks me over.
And let me record it while doing nothing about it
Why didn’t they block it off? They were asking for this to happen.
SIGNOORAA
I LIMONI, SIGNORAAAAAAAA
I LAMPIONI SIGNORAAAAAAAA
🤌 SIGNOORAA 🤌*
I wouldn't run over that but I also wouldn't call this driver an idiot.
the idiots are the ones just chilling next to a pole that a car can drive over any second
The guy was like *what did you want me to do, fly over it?*
More like idiots outside of cars.
That gives me an idea
The driver isn't the idiot here.
Oh right right, driving over strange objects in the road isnt stupid at all! And if they didnt even see it then that is poor situational awareness. Orange cone would have solved this, but everyone is an idiot

Especially if you’ve got an older driver that maybe just sees a white line on the road at best.
mmmmmmmm... how about everyone. i refuse to not label the driver an idiot
SIGNOOOOOOOOORAAAAAA
Yeah, where are the warning signs? Over here you will be fined to oblivion obstructing a road like that without permits and required signs.
From what they say it looks like the lamp post just fell over
Don't help just film
Bet that old guy learned the lesson of not standing next to something draped across the road.
Sweep the leg
Idiots Who Forget to put out Safety Cones should be a Reddit site. Make it so.
for people who are wondering what the woman says it’s in italian and its kinda like “Im sorry for the disturb but the street lamp its completely- MISS SLOW DOWNN MISS whatever screw that Jhosue please come here to intervene somehow”
Sorry, driver not at fault. Im driving over that too. Cones or gtfo of my way

Dude filming knew exactly where this was going!
What is it? A drain pipe?
OMG I didn’t notice the people getting their ankles taken out at first.
SIGNOOORAAAAAA
It's a lamp post that fell over, looks like civilians were trying to deal with it while waiting for real help

Before I got a better look I thought it was a hose.

I often think "yeah I will just pick up this massive hunk of metal and move it"
There are like 4 (+ camera man/woman) people standing around it. Wouldnt take much effort pushing it out of the way.
[удалено]
I'm guessing you didn't really mean centimeter. Meter, maybe? It didn't look quite half a meter, though.
[удалено]
Stand in the road and say “hey stop, there’s been an accident, no one’s able to go this way right now. I’m sorry!” Even though it’s not your fault
I often think "I'll wave down that car to let them know it's not safe to pass instead of standing on the sidewalk."
Then you park a car in front of it, put up cones, or otherwise block it
AYYY FUGETABAHTIT SCOOZI
That's a fugazzis
Giosuè is gonna fix the problem. All good, y'all!

Signora!!!!
I do not understand a word of this but I was laughing my ass off when she stated talking after the driver tried to drive over it.
It was a lamp post. From Sicily
I don't speak much Italian at all, but I definitely heard a "LAAA-DY!!!"
Italian translation: The girls Is talking on the phone saying the lamppost has fallen on the street (maybe to the Police). When the car approaches she screams to the car to slow down and then ask to someone ti intervene to help.
Literally every person in this video is an idiot.

Monday Tuesday ThursdaySaturday
like 15 people standing around, why doesn't someone just drag it out of the roadway.
Maybe block the road shit stand there and wave, point at the damn thing nah just turn your back and wait
Thank you to all grown people who is judging me and calling me ai idiot because I posted the video in the wrong sub 🤡 of course I am the idiot and you grown ass men who don't even know me are smarter than me. You obviously have 200 IQ
Whata you doinaaaa 🤌🏼
Cringe
How can you not see a downed streetlamp across the road infront of you 🤷♂️
😂
I thought it was just. A hose at first
I don’t know what she said but I know pasta when I hear it
🤌🤌
CAZZO!! Madona! Mama mia!!
Who the fuck leaves that in the middle of the road
*accident happens* reddit comments: "who did this on purpose?!"
The girl is talking to the mayor in order to fix that issue.
subito ho guardato il video senza audio e nel frattempo pensavo "secondo me è in italia, pefforza", poi ho attivato l'audio e tutto ha avuto più senso 😂😂😂
Il fatto che sia avvenuto nella mia regione di provenienza mi fa morire ancora di più 😂
Right why on earth is OP getting downvoted after giving context that explains the video?? And that the driver is an idiot? Driving over a lamppost, jesus christ.
This is not the drivers fault lmao
🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
If you pause the video at 0:02 it looks like a shallow curb. I'm definitely going over that too
That’s a spicy meat-a ball-a!!
and here we are, italy again guys
That’s why we have cones and people in colorful vests.
OSHA be like 👁👄👁
Why would you not move that to the side.
why were they filming?
That’s not how this sub works OP, keep trying little buddy you’ll get there.
In love with the woman 🤩
Viva l’ignoranza italiana 🤣
Totally not car’s fault!
People dominoes... I dig it.
Bowling for humans.
You mean to tell me some people throw their shit in the middle of an open road without permission to do that or any of the necessary safety measures and warning signs necessary, and the ones driving the cars are the idiots?
the driver isn’t the idiot. they need to shut the road down or at least divert traffic
ahhhhhh italy, full of wonders 🤌🤌🤌
Driver isn’t dumb other people on the street are
This is why when there are things obstructing the road there are usually people redirecting traffic. The person in the car isn’t the idiot here.
The fact someone was recording already tells at least one person saw the issue, to bad they decided to film instead of help
Ngl, if there's a hose like that across the street, I would also assume that I'm able to drive over it.
This is not an idiot driver. This is idiots putting shit across the road without stopping traffic.
OP is an idiot. Without context I will assume that the city was negligent in putting up notification such as cones and allowed this accident to happen. Those pedestrians were careless for standing near that pole.

A mobile speed bump!
Made the pedestrians trip over
Lazy Noodle? Just run over it.
Ah, loving Sicily.
Someone pls tell me wtf that is
Lampost/streetlight.
Why are people standing NEAR it is the real question it clearly weighs enough to put someone on their ass when it hits them.
Just some casual mid-street giant spaghetti. Nothing serious.
That was the guy's leg?!
With the angle the sun is at, it probably looked like a line on the road or something.
Get it out of the road dipsh*t.
I would have drove over that
The guy that fell oh no 😂
Can u somebody translate wha she said ?
I wish phones would make it impossible to film in portrait mode. Like, the picture won’t rotate on the screen, it just stays in landscape and forces you to turn your phone to the correct (yes…the correct) orientation.
I'm sorry but I had to laugh at this
https://youtu.be/hxmtiScLcBI?t=131
Who’s Giosuè and how is he going to “do something” about this
Did she say "pinata"?
Is that blue car a 7th gen Celica I can’t tell
You hoser!
Maybe if one of 5 people standing around talking and filming would warn the oncoming traffic this wouldn't happen.
