Drive Safely (video) -- This is a graphic video that is very moving and tragic

[cyrus buelton]

guess  I'll be the different one.........



Those videos are make the beast with two backsing retarded and are a waste of time to watch.


They are really really bad horror movies. The acting is bad. The side effects are worse.



Don't text and drive. How make the beast with two backsing hard is it?

Of this i must know more!  Linky to original post perhaps??

There are many sites on the topic, just do a google search.  I can't bring myself to revisit that.  And as Factorplayer said, you might find you really don't want to know more.

just google it.

picures are very graphic.

the basic story is that the girl took her dad's convertible porsche and was doing 100+ when she hit another car, lost control, he car went airborne and she landed upside down against a toll booth.

Just yesterday driving the car on the way home from visiting my parents with my pregnant wife and our little boy I was driving though the neighborhood. Stopped at a stop sign, and then turned left, and a little girl about 6yrs old came zipping out of a driveway which was lined with bushes right up to the street and went stright across the street on her little razor scooter into the nieghhbor's driveway across the street where her little friend was waiting. If I hadn't stopped, or had only slowed down, or even had pulled away from the stop sign really fast I would have hit her. Even if I had been going the speed limit of 25mph (I was only going about 10-12 b/c I was pulling away from the sign) there wouldn't have been time to react. She came from the left side of the street, and there still wouldn't have been time to react if I had been drving like an idiot. I had to sit and think about that for a while when I got home.

That's some bad parenting about teaching your children to cross the street.

There is nothing you could have probably done. I kind of look at it with a deer running across the road.

[sbrguy]

you should have honked loudly and made the kid learn a lesson on how to look before crossing.. obviously not hit the kid or harm them,  but just startle them so that they know that they should have looked.  a good scare is sometimes necessary.

Thanks...I'll pass.  I thought it was perhaps some incident that Dante had had with a cager.

Yeah, as stated before, the video is a rehash of many older PSAs from Europe. While gore and scare tactics like that will work on some, it's still just a video. None of it is real footage. Many people won't learn to be safe until they see the consequences first hand. People can be stupid like that.

think of the Lockwood Valley Rd Miata mashup you were telling me about... the guy and his daughter.

now think of how lucky they were, and imagine it 20million times worse

^^ Go it!

a bit of that footage is real:

00:48 to 00:53
01:32 to 01:40
01:40 to 01:50...a touch of photochop help in this one I'm thinking, the people must have vaporized
03:24 to 03:38
03:50 to 04:18
04:47 to 04:55
05:42 to 06:55

I think these are great

as a once viewed video, no they are not effective

but

if we ran them non stop on TV they would be

long enough to let the shock value fade for the soft and the denial to fade for the callous

let the reality of them become plain to everyone and they might do some good

Last week, a mother had just left the daycare and was on her way to take her 5 year old to his karate class. She was in her minivan with him, her 3 year old son and her 5 month old daughter.

A guy had just left work and was eager to make the light...well he didn't. Instead he chose to run the red light and t-boned the minivan with so much force that it pushed it up into the parking lot of the daycare and into a 3rd vehicle. All 4 victims in the minivan were taken to the hospital as were the 2 in the 3rd vehicle that was hit. The driver of the truck was treated and released.

Wednesday the 5 month old passed away. Thursday the 5 year old passed. The mother and the 3rd child are both still in the hospital. The mother in critical but stable condition. The son in fair condition.

After checking the driver's record of the guy who caused all of this, it was found out he had several suspensions and accidents in his past. Including a suspension because he, and I quote the DOT, "is unable to operate a motor vehicle in a safe manner".
