Drive Safely (Warning Graphic Images)

Pull the stick outta your rear man... some people deal with serious situations through humor.

Honestly, do you think a video will change anything? Or even make someone stop to think about something like this???

Dealing with serious situations and dealing with tragic situations where someone is run down by a vehicle or an asshole feels the need to swerve into an oncoming car (killing the other driver) when being chased by police cuz he thinks the easier way out....is different. It's not about how you DEAL with it emotionally, my comment was based on how inappropriate the response was. Are they laughing about the people that died at the Cali 200 too?

Yes, whereas you seem to not, I still hold out that society will begin to care about their fellow man and possibly take something away from videos like this.

Once again I will ask, if it is funny to a person what makes them a bad person? So just because they use humor to deal with tough/tragic situations they are a jackass? Why do they need to connect on a personal/emotional level to get the message of the film?

I'm not calling them a bad person, you did. Yes, they are a jackass if they laugh after watching that vid. As you can read above, they barely believe that most of those were real (I realize that many of them were staged). Maybe they need to be shocked into understanding that they aren't invincible, or need to gain the knowledge that not everyone is a professional rally/racecar/nascar driver and can avoid any situation...like in the movies.

They need to see what actually is happening on the streets in reality...so yes, I think this video CAN help. I can't say whether it WILL help since it ultimitely is up to the viewer to take from it what they will.
 
@ Twisted Metal: okay, first of all. if im the one being pointed out for laughing at this in the first place im sorry for offending you some how. i wasnt laughing at the videos message, i just laughed how my mom showed me this vid a week ago and suprised that someone posted it on here. i dont care if it real fake or fiction it just reminded me of final destination. thats all. besides, ive seen two people hit, laying on the road praying before there last breath runs dry. its no joke, but no need to rant like you gunna pull a columbine. people have their own opinions on things and no ones alike. for example, i think abortion is disgusting and unethical. but im not going to rant and rave to people who think my view is unjust.
 
Sure its sad... But the majority of the clips were staged.

It's like watching a "dont do drugs" ad & those work real good. :lmao:
 
very disturbing this is crap that should not be posted on this site.

IMO it's no more disturbing than bickering over political or religious views...

Sure its sad... But the majority of the clips were staged.

I don't disagree that many of them were staged...but does that mean it can't happen the way it was staged? I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the reason some get staged is because there may not be a video camera watching every known type of accident.

I could only watch a small amount of that video. After being the first person to try and help at many accidents (2 involved fatalities), I no longer have the stomach for that kind of sorrow. After holding a 16 year old girls head strait due to a broken neck while she is pinned in a car, trying to calm a mother and daughter who are trapped in their minivan that slammed into a retaining wall on the interstate, pulling a friend who has had their face destroyed out of a Cavalier that was ran off the road, or watching a young woman's head explode upon impact with the street and die after being thrown through the windshield, I have no ability to watch. Real or not, these thing happen every day to real moms, dads, daughters, sons, grandparents, best friends, etc. I just wish all people took driving seriously and thought about the ramifications of their actions while driving a 1.5 ton death machine at 50+ MPH.

One last thought, my wife never wore a seat belt until we drove past an accident in St. Louis, MO 10 years ago. There was a family killed in an accident in front of Six Flags. We drove past it shortly after it happened and seeing the EMS guys and gals working on kids that had been thrown from the van was pretty horrific.

That right there is why I won't ride a road bike... too many idiots out there who aren't paying attention and/or have no situational awareness.

I'm on top of things around me and have a strong sense of self-preservation. Has kept me alive thus far.

I even made a point to put a foot on the ground when I stopped and eyeball the driver of the car with the right of way. When he started moving I started moving...and the car behind him just kept going - in both instances. I guess they figured I'd stop since they were in a car and I was on a bike.

Fawk'm. I had the right of way.


People don't learn, people don't change.

Bullshit.

Not everyone drove like an asshole years ago. People also had better manners and were more polite and courteous years ago as well.

The simple task of shopping has changed. People used to pretty much walk like they drove - on the right. Now they walk all over the damn place, taking up the entire aisle.

People used to stop to help people on the side of the road too. That's pretty much gone.

People have changed, but the change has gone from being polite and courteous to others to being concerned about themselves and fawk everybody else.

It's like watching a "dont do drugs" ad & those work real good. :lmao:

Not the same as lame drug videos from 1972. First many of those videos were obviously real and caught on stationary cameras and 1 or 2 be helicopters. I know some people that fly for news agencies and they say it is amazing what they film randomly from the air. Some major cities have even taken to catching traffic violations in the air and radioing down to ground units.

Of the staged videos I am sure many of them are from actual accidents because they were obviously trying to get realism and not Hollywood garbage.

For those who think it's too intense (not directed toward eritex as I understand were your coming from) then don't watch, this isn't Playland and I think compared to much of the Adult NSFW material on here this i mild and much more relevant.

Either way I issued a warning in the title which should make you aware of the content. If not, then you are just really dense.

If this video does not impact you at all then I must say there is something wrong in your head. For those of us with children and who are a little older and married it hits even deeper.

The reasons JIA stated are the reasons I don't ride a bike anymore. As careful as I was I just got tired of dodging the morons. Even more amazing is the idiots on crotch rockets weaving through the traffic on the freeway doing 100+ with no helmets on!
 
I have been driving for 18 years and have never been in a accident. I think I am a safe driver that pays attention. I watched this video yesterday.

I have to say that it has definetly affected me (fake or not). I noticed i am paying way more attention now when I drive. This may sound Fruity or ghey but it is what it is.

I value human life above everything, especially my families. When I see kids being hurt and killed (fake or not) it really pisses me off. It is not something to laugh about. Movies like this need to be shown to people before they are allowed to drive. I know the idiots will always be idiots but sometimes we get to relaxed and comfortable driving a 2 ton potential weapon and forget how much we can destroy by not paying attention.

I am sure I will probally get flamed by some for writing this. I don't care.

Flame on.
 
I'm alot more aware of my surroundings when I'm driving than I was a mere 10-15 years ago. Much of it has come from seeing accidents first hand, being in a couple myself, and also seeing all the tv shows and footage on the internet. I'm in the mindset to be more worried about what I could do to someone else than what I'd do to myself. I've seen kids involved, people hit by cars at high speed, numerous collisions, people run off the road and flip. In every intance I'm sure there was something that could have prevented it. Mechanical error (not the same as mechanical negligence) would be the only thing out of your control...and you'd still feel responsible if it were you.

I can't imagine (and never want to find out) what it's like to cause an accident where someone was killed because of my stupid irresponsible driving or negligence. Even if the scenario involved not going to jail for doing something wrong...just the thought that I had something to do with it and I could have been paying more attention, or could have been doing this...or not doing that. That would stick with you the rest of your life.

I've only been in three accidents (none serious in any way) and I can with confidence say that none of them were due to something I did or didn't do.

i agree 110%

Exactly... All this stuff is Scare Tactic Quality.

So what are you gonna do stop driving?? Stop sitting on a porch because a car is gonna smash into you?? May-bee you better never cross a road, That looks pretty dangerous. :lmao:

The only people that'll flame you for that are the idiots. "thumbsup"

Agreed. These days people are "lacking patience and are self important" - Robert Hawkins

Not all of us;-)
Also agreed. A few years ago I moved to a big ass city (I grew up in a small town and went to college in a small town)....I've actually become a better driver. More calm, more patient. I've realized that NOTHING that I can do is going to change the way someone else drives, so I just try to keep my distance.
 
Its not a E-TUFF threat when im standing over you holding a base ball bat kicking the shit outta you. ITS REALITY! and not that fake shit homo crap you see on tv either. THAT is the problem now days, nobody LIKES to hear the TRUTH! You probly dont have the comprehension to understand this. thats why YOU "THINK" is just a threat.... its reality bub not the internet...

And yeah i think it is a problem if somebody whants to chuckle something SERIOUSLY TRAGIC off. thats like if a 4 year old got shot and killed due to an asshole that though it would be funny to shot a gun into a crowd! and you think its funny?!?! What if that was your little sister or brother. or you son or daughter? huh, you think its funny? No its not, you yourself should be shot hung and beat with stones in a public area! how about if you kid or or close family member got ran over buy a car and was killed, and IM standing on the sidelines LAUGHING MY ASS OFF!! Drinking a beer enjoying the ****ing show? you think its funny now?


Ok so no we have moved from an E-threat to a real threat, gotcha!

As I said in my quote you have: One day you will try that one someone who has something bigger and badder than a bat.

Oh I know the truth is hard for most and I look for the truth quite often and am a very blunt person, but I also have the comprehension and smarts to know better than to threaten people on an internet forum as they are becoming a source for case information more and more often. You're right, it's the internet, you wouldn't actually have the balls to follow through like most of the wanna be hoomies and such, look tough, act tough, but run when confronted.

You're right, the truth is hard, which is why I've noticed most people run from a confrontation... and violence doesn't need to be in the equation, just two people talking out problems will usually result in one not showing or running off any more.



Dude show me in my quote where I said I thought it was funny? Once again, step back from your emotional/personal connection to this and comprehend the text. What I said is: WHY DOES LAUGHING AT IT MAKE THEM A BAD PERSON? Or in your words: a jackass?

Now you are just making assumptions and putting out emotional situations to get a rise out of me. Sorry dude, I'm trying to have a logical debate with you, but clearly its too much for your feeble mind that only wants to deal with the emotional response.

BUT I'll feed the troll... Will I laugh if a small child is shot due to some idiot shooting his gun in the air, nope. Only one of your 4 next fit me, so once again I wouldn't find it funny. I can tell you this much, UNLIKE you who is more worried about vengeance than saving your loved ones life, I would make sure I had done all I could for them first, then I would worry about the beer drinking jack off later. I just don't want to deal with the personal hell of knowing they died because I wasn't there to help as I was off seeking vengeance.

So thanks again for that nice little threat buddy! Glad to see you can act like an adult...

Now breath and follow along here: WHY should I be "shot hung and beat with stones in a public area!"? Not sure I see anything that I have said/done that justifies this. SO can you tell me why or is this just another e-tough threat against me because I don't share your view and present another that challenges your views?







All the violence you see on TV/movies is consequence-free. You see the guy weaving in and out of traffic, blowing red lights, causing crashes trying to evade the cops or catch the bad guy, but you never see the poor bastards he wrecked sitting in their cars all bruised and bloody waiting for EMS to show up.

We don't see people in cars; we see cars and they're all in my way and I wanna go go go and fuk that Camry in the center lane. Half the time people don't even stop for an accident.

Situational awareness doesn't even come into play. Normal freeway procedure is to get about 1-1/4 car lengths off the bumper of the car in front of you and defend that gap, I guess because you fail if somebody gets in front of you. I won't run in a fawking train like that, I'd rather get passed, and I'll drop 5-10 mph to accomplish that. Get the fuk off my tail.

All the PSA's in the world ain't gonna help. People don't learn, people don't change.



This right here needs to be quoted for truth! As sad as that last sentence is, it is very true.

I agree with you there, its consequence free and they expect everything to be that way. That is part of that problem these days, consequences and responsibility are about as common as common sense... they aren't. I get what you are saying, but something tells me the average idiot will view the PSA as not being real life and therefore laughable, but the tragedy at the Cali 200 as something very different and more serious. Sadly it is how people think most of that time.

I'd like to agree with you that society will change, but I'm not holding out hope. Just too many signs pointing to the opposite.

Well the way it read it sounded as if they laughed they were bad persons. I think while your logic is sound, the people that have the most to gain from that video will only learn when they are in that position. That is the worst part of it all, is a lot of folks will dismiss it as "not happening to them" until it does.
