Traffic Memes

Einstein's theory of relativity coming in clutch during a traffic stop! The driver's pulling the ultimate physics card on this poor officer who probably just wanted to hand out a speeding ticket. In Einstein's universe, motion is measured relative to the observer's frame of reference—so technically, from the driver's perspective, they were stationary while the speed limit sign was zooming backward at 90mph! Good luck explaining that one in traffic court! Next time you're caught speeding, just remember: it's not you going too fast, it's the rest of the universe failing to keep up!

Einstein would be proud of this defense strategy! The driver is invoking relativity theory to wiggle out of a speeding ticket. In physics, speed is indeed relative to the reference frame - what's fast to the officer might just be normal to the driver who's mentally operating in a different inertial frame. Too bad traffic laws operate in the fixed reference frame of posted speed limits. Nice try though, Professor Leadfoot!

The title isn't lying! Wearing black while cycling is basically nature's way of saying "I choose death today." The physics of light reflection shows why that green cyclist can be spotted from a small country away (426 ft!), while the black one might as well be wearing an invisibility cloak. This is why cyclists in neon colors look ridiculous but live to tell about it. Evolution clearly didn't prepare us for roads - natural selection now happens via visibility charts instead of genetic fitness. The red cyclist at 79 ft is that perfect middle ground where drivers can see you just in time to feel really bad about what's about to happen. Pro tip: If you're choosing between fashion and being seen by two-ton metal death machines, maybe reconsider your priorities. The white cyclist at 180 ft is just showing off their practical compromise between "wanting to live" and "not looking like a human highlighter."

Einstein would be PROUD of this speeding ticket defense! When the driver says "speed is relative," they're invoking Einstein's theory of relativity where measurements like speed depend on the observer's frame of reference. From the driver's perspective, they were perfectly stationary while the world zoomed past them! The cop's radar gun is merely measuring relative motion between two reference frames! *adjusts wild scientist hair* Of course, this brilliant physics defense probably won't hold up in traffic court... unless the judge happens to be a quantum physicist moonlighting in the judicial system. The universal speed limit is still 299,792,458 m/s (speed of light), so technically they weren't even CLOSE to breaking the cosmic law!
