Auto theft has become a problem as of late in Ontario from what I heard. However it seems like 90% of the car theft is done using the same method (excluding car jacking). I just wonder if a lot of it can be alleviated by putting your keys in a faraday box and relocating the OBD2 port.
your man(?) is talking about the centre of the town in question, which is an unusual one because it was entirely planned from scratch, rather than an extension of an existing townTurns out suburbs are more walkable than city centers thanks to them separating different modes of transport:
“Suburb” here means a low density area, not a city that borders a larger city. Milton Keynes is a suburban-style city, but it’s not a suburb of a larger city.
Every single one of these soy repositories aspire to be a woman... in charge of YOUR HOA.
According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, pedestrian has meant dull for longer than it has been a noun. In fact it suggests that the noun came from the adjective. And it is compared with equestrian. so the poster is an absolute retard.
To add, this flimsy definition is how Marohn could peddle bullshit about the suburbs.
If kids shouldn't be on the tracks then they shouldn't be walking in front of moving cars either. Urbanists need to pick a consistent standard for personal responsibility.
It’d be fun to create an anti-mass transit theoretical advertising “Feed the BLACKS to the TRACKS” calling attention to how they’re inordinately amongst those eaten by trains.
At this point it's more about le pickup trucks more than their actual size. Something tells me this European just wanted to get in on the fuckcars bandwagon but since there aren't as many light duty trucks they snapped a picture with the first pickup truck they saw.
They never answer the question why is their kid darting out in front of traffic to begin with. Clearly at some point your kid is going to exposed to some sort of danger in life you can't insolate them from.
yeah, it really is interesting how everyone ignores obd ports when it comes to vehicle thefts. you never see it mentioned anywhere. would having an old vehicle with obd1 or obd1.5 be good protection for those systems given that the thieves would be less likely to have equipment for such an old vehicle?
I think it depends. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the main vulnerability of the port is the nature of what it's used for. Basically the thieves are essentially using the computer the dealer would use in case someone lost their key so they can program a new key. It's less of a bug/exploit and more so like abusing the "forgot password" function on a website.
. Ultimately I think the most effective method would just be to have individual people come up with their own unique ways like installing kill switches in different locations or being creative. The only way to stop this type of theft is to make it so they can't use the exact same method for every one.
Old immobilizers from the pre-OBD2 era tend to suck or just not exist at all so the thieves can often just old school hotwire those cars, that security by obscurity approach is more likely to just severely annoy you on the legitimate wrenching end because of how horrible that ancient OBD1 compatible gear is. To prevent OBD2 theft, splice a killswitch into the harness to cut the +12V and data links unless you flip the hidden switch in the engine bay, relocating the port is little more than an annoyance for would be thieves while trying to debug a dead port is much more likely to cause a bail when the alarm's already going off.
to play devils advocate
This is also a reasonable viewpoint but urbanists don't believe this. They go full retard and charge the traffic engineer who designed the road with "murdering pedestrians" because reasons.
