ghosting WTF

I hope everyone who feels the urge to lie on the street under a sheet, does so.

Gets them out of the gene pool.

Fair point. I'm not the target demographic. And I don't have/know how to search tiktok or snapchat or whatever.. I'd expected google to yield something though.

She will probably be awarded 100k in court and the poor driver gets the blame.

Unfortunately that is the case, could have been under a camouflage sheet and you’d still get blame thrown at the poor motorists. ...

Wtf is it all of a sudden with a large percentage of teens / early twenties in this country just being pure dumb morons and especially attention seeking gobshîtes.

The best bit is this from the Garda Statement.

Gardaí are particularly appealing to parents to educate their children on the dangers of participating in such activity and to highlight the importance of being seen while using Irish roads,” the Garda statement said.

Educate them and raise awareness that if you lie in the middle of the road that theres a fairly high chance you'll be run over?

I don't stop for badgers or crows, why would I stop for an inconspicuous looking white sheet?
Now if it were a dog or friendly looking kitten....

These people are seriously silly. I'm amazed that anyone could be so reckless. If they want to endanger themselves, go for it on a PlayStation or whatever other online nonsense they find but please don't put others at risk.

The other side of it is...

There have also been reports of where something is put in the road to make a motorist stop, and when the person gets out to investigate they can have their handbag taken, or mugged etc.

I'd be inclined to not stop (especially if on my own in car at a rural location) as it could be a ruse. Someone doing this will get driven over.
