Pay attention!

I saw this posted over at trans am country. Probably not for the faint of heart but I think drivers of all ages need to see stuff like this every so often.

Sickkkkkkkkk

sweetbmxrider 01-03-2009 05:58 PM

the end was good. all of the filler, pretty beat. **** happens in some of those examples, thats why they call them accidents.

band77one 01-03-2009 06:18 PM

damn that was ****ed up for a commercial or whatever it was, what country did that come from?

FBODS4EVER 01-03-2009 06:34 PM

see its not only nj. other countrys ins. rates should be through the roof too. however the video is a good example of **** that can happen.

All the more reason to pay attention. I think most of the examples are in slow/med driving situations - probably when most people feel safe to talk on the cell, etc.

band77one 01-03-2009 11:20 PM

i wish we had commercials like that airing on tv, maybe some kids would think, damn maybe i shouldnt drive like a retard.

yes but i was referring to their chain reaction scenarios. sure people rear end people and maybe the person at fault was doing something they shouldn't do while driving, but the fact that the person rear ended hit someone in a crosswalk isn't their fault. the person in front should have left plenty of room for a situation like this to occur. they are good with the intentions but wrong with the delivery in my opinion.

Crazy ****. Why can't they air that here?

The only thing close to that was the prom horror video we got to watch.

BigAls87Z28 01-04-2009 11:48 AM

I want to say that isnt GB, but Austrailia. They had what looks to be a Holden Commodore or a Ford Falcon doing that burn out.

I've seen this video over on ls1tech. I'm glad to see that you guys are more mature than the guys who posted over there.. they were all haha oh well f*** it who cares..dumb pointless vid, all kinds of immature stuff.. I say, post this all over as a commercial so people open their eyes. Also in drivers ed where young kids are learning so they dont go on the roads and act stupid..very strong video though

The chain reactions were all examples of possible results from irresponsible driving. In all reality there is no such thing as an accident, one way or another, someone made the critical error that cause it to happen.

BonzoHansen 01-04-2009 03:54 PM

Right.

I guess being a dad has altered my train of thought as I probably used to think like SBMX that **** happens. But the point is it doesn't have to happen. Seeing that kid down hurts. The stuff of nightmares.

sweetbmxrider 01-04-2009 05:26 PM

no i totally agree with you guys but like some of them were a little far fetched. sure anything could happen, responsible driving could have prevented a lot of it too. sometimes things just line up for a devastating snowball effect and there isn't much you can do other than your part. i guess i'm just saying that everything isn't preventable.

MonmouthCtyAntz 01-04-2009 06:37 PM

OMG if i see this video one more time....3 different people posted this on tech last week alone

unstable bob gable 01-04-2009 11:33 PM

:shock::shock::shock::shock:

LS1Hawk 01-05-2009 11:21 AM

They should definitely air commercials like that here in the US. But political correctness would kill it. I remember when I was in driver's ed in high school they made us watch actual police footage from real crash scenes, before the victims were removed. Not pretty stuff.

CHRIS67 01-05-2009 11:54 AM

Thanks Scott, now we all have to walk home from work.

r0nin89 01-05-2009 11:58 AM

One time I read something along the lines that driving 15mph over the speed limit is equivalent of having a .1 BAC.

It's good exercise!

12secondv6 01-05-2009 07:07 PM

I'm sitting here.... watching the video.... with my neck brace on recovering from neck surgery because some b*tch decided to talk to her kids while driving and not pay attention and hit me...... that video meant a lot to me

DevilDougWS6 01-07-2009 05:42 PM

the whole premise of the video is to....::gasp:: pay attention. and it gets that point across very well.

they shouldnt even call them accidents because, while accidents DO happen, they can easily be avoided if everyone pays attention. they should really call them traffic collisions, because the term accident implies that there is no one to blame.

anyone who has seen hot fuzz knows that one, lol, and it is very true.

Lol we live in NJ noone can do anything wrong behind the wheel unless you hit someone not in a car or your drunk.

My friend was T-bone by someone who ran a stop sign, noones fault clearly. :-?
