Someone Put Down A Huge Stone To Stop Curb Jumpers And Capture The Fools That Ignore It

有人放下一块巨大的石头来阻止路边的行人，并抓住那些无视它的傻瓜

A rock in West Omaha is catching everyone’s attention for its ability to wreck cars. That’s right, this is not a Hollywood movie pitch, I’m talking about a rock, not The Rock. Someone put it in place to stop drivers from cutting the corner, but some of them still do it. Since the rock is more or less shaped like a ramp, if a car hits it with just a little bit of force, it gets stuck right on top of it. Locals have been documenting these incidents and they even created a Facebook group to share them. It might not be one of the popular ones (yet), but it sure is amusing.

西奥马哈的一块岩石以其毁坏汽车的能力吸引了所有人的注意。没错，这不是好莱坞电影的宣传，我说的是石头，不是电影。有人把它放在适当的地方，以阻止司机从角落经过，但他们中的一些人仍然这样做。由于岩石的形状或多或少有点像一个斜坡，如果一辆车用一点力撞到它，它就会卡在上面。当地人一直在记录这些事件，他们甚至创建了一个Facebook群来分享这些事件。它可能还不是最受欢迎的，但确实很有趣。

As many drivers were jumping the curb at this place, this rock was put in as a solution

当许多司机在这个地方经过的时候，这块石头被放进去作为解决办法

“I honestly am not sure when the rock was put into place,” Devon Barnett, a member of the Facebook group devoted to the famous rock, told Bored Panda. “I did use to work for the Hy-Vee store that is right by the rocks, and I believe it was there when I was working there back from 2000-2010.”

“老实说，我不确定这块石头是什么时候放到位的，”Facebook上专门讨论这块著名石头的小组成员德文·巴尼特(Devon Barnett)告诉Bored Panda网站。“我曾经在岩石旁边的Hy-Vee商店工作过，我相信2000年到2010年我在那里工作的时候它就在那里。”

Yet, that did not seem to stop them

然而，这似乎并没有阻止他们

“I know the rock was put there because a lot of people would drive over the curb and get flat tires. It would also cause giant holes where the grass is being ripped out and where rain would collect and make a giant mud puddle.”

“我知道这块石头是放在那里的，因为很多人会把车开到路边，轮胎就没气了。它还会造成巨大的洞，草被拔掉了，雨水会聚集在那里，形成一个巨大的泥坑。”

Devon thinks that with bigger SUVs, it is hard to see the rock. “But I also strongly believe people just do not pay attention when driving.”

德文认为，更大的suv很难看到岩石。“但我也坚信，人们只是在开车时没有注意而已。”

According to the Driving Instructor Blog, there are a few reasons why people can’t make a corner with their vehicles. “For example, many new drivers when they’re turning left, instead of looking at where they’re going while they’re turning, they’re still looking at some oncoming traffic that is down the road. If you’ve decided to turn, then you’ve decided it’s safe to turn in front of that traffic; so what’s the point in staring at it anymore? It’s not like you can turn halfway and then press pause and reevaluate your decision. So essentially you aim your car where you look. If you’re still looking at the oncoming traffic while turning left, then your car will tend to aim towards the oncoming traffic, leading to a wide turn; as oppose to simply making a safe decision to turn when you see a safe gap in that traffic, and then looking where you actually want the car to go and then going there.”

据驾驶教练博客，有几个原因，为什么人们不能使他们的车辆拐弯。“例如，许多新司机在左转的时候，他们并没有看他们要去的地方，而是仍然看一些迎风行驶的车辆。如果你决定转弯，那么你就决定在车流前转弯是安全的;那么再盯着它看有什么意义呢?你不可能半途而废，然后按下暂停键，重新评估你的决定。所以基本上你把车开到你看的地方。如果你在左转的时候仍然看着迎面而来的车流，那么你的车会倾向于瞄准迎面而来的车流，导致一个大转弯;而不是简单地做出一个安全的决定，当你在车流中看到一个安全的空隙时，就转向，然后看看你想让车开到哪里，然后再转向那里。”
