            You’ve just triggered a memory. Something about vehicles zooming around Lego Island. Were you able to get out of them while they were moving so that they kept going?

                Nope. They just kept going around the island following the roads

                Vehicles can be made to drive themselves Description: If you are driving a vehicle and exit it while moving (i.e. don’t stop before leaving it), it will continue to drive at the same speed you left it at, auto-piloting itself around the island. It’s not entirely clear why this is the case, but it’s possible the vehicles are the same type of “entity” as the NPCs roaming around and that vehicle speed isn’t automatically cleared when you leave it, causing it to roam around too at the speed you inadvertently set for it. If this is true, there are interesting implications for potentially driving and/or setting the speed of NPCs. Interestingly, the vehicles don’t seem to move indefinitely (they don’t slow down, but will eventually stop moving) so perhaps some background system on the island periodically tries to ensure vehicle movement is set to 0.

              Oh I have no idea, I remember very little of that game. Something about a helicopter crash and a race you had to use the skateboard for. It was the fastest vehicle.

        Boring fact: The highest pass he’ll have to cross on his journey looks like this:

        If he’ll have to be rescued, then because someone ran him over.

        Another fact: Society failed to educate him properly using taxpayer money.

        Perhaps society deserves to face the consequences of its actions.

          I agree with you and have even more to add -

          Even more fun fact - the taxpayer money that will likely eventually be used to rescue this person, potentially saving their life, is an infinitesimal waste compared to so very many other things. I’m not ever going to shame someone or expect them to be billed/prosecuted/etc for their rescue unless they criminally broke the law in order to arrive at that state. (and maybe not even then)
