bankz5152 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 As above user descretion advised, could be horrific/traumatic to some. Video footage of a fatal car crash How can someone behind the wheel of a car be SO stupid? There was not even enough time to perform this overtake on a regular road let alone an icey one. On top of the fact that theres a god damn truck oncoming. Total idiot and well deserving of a Darwin Award. This is hardly PG-13 is it? Link to post Share on other sites
SteevoLS Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 The problem with winning the Darwin Award is that you usually take somebody else with you... two extra somebodies in this case. Link to post Share on other sites
Baddbaz Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 That's an oxygen thief of a driver . Terrible driving , no perception of speed , vehicle awareness at all Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Just lucky i suppose it was a lorry that hit them not another car. Link to post Share on other sites

scorch Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I feel sorry for the truck driver. Has to live with that experience for the rest of his life when it wasn't his fault and there was nothing he could do. Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteHawksan Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 some people WILL be idiots, that's just the way of things, and in today's world, there's plenty of ways to get yourself killed. Just sucks they took out someone else with them. Link to post Share on other sites
Baddbaz Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I bet the insurance company found a clause not to pay / reduce the payout out because of any reason they could think up in there evil little minds !!! Link to post Share on other sites
FTZ-WildeCard Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I find it hard to believe that there's anything that could be denied based on the video footage! Shocking really, just hope it was over quickly for the occupants of the car. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 That looked like it should have been pretty instant. The human body has a massive capacity for trauma though... Link to post Share on other sites
FTZ-WildeCard Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 There was a much worse video posted on a car forum I used to frequent a couple of months back -- Over in Dubai, some guys attempted to drift in heavy traffic, or perhaps just lost control. The car slid sideways off the road, rolling over sideways as it flung it's occupants out of the car -- not all got out cleanly, you can see some half emerge as the car rolls over them... There were limbs separated, too. Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 when will people learn that a car is not safe? It is a death trap. The answer for the most part? When they're dead. People who willfully neglect the dangers of driving a vehicle all too often kill someone who didn't deserve it with them. Link to post Share on other sites
kojak Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Well, that was horrifying. Here's a couple more Russian truck crashes with happier endings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqDrnR2bWk4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b1IanXFOEc Link to post Share on other sites

FTZ-WildeCard Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 when will people learn that a car is not safe? It is a death trap. That's a bit far-fetched isn't it? I don't think it is the car itself that is inherently dangerous -- we've come a long way from the steam powered monstrosities of the last century. Link to post Share on other sites
Baddbaz Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 To electric powered monstrocities that don't even have to pass an impact / crash test before being sold to the unsuspecting body part donors that are stupid enough to own/ drive them .. G whiz , and that plastic Renault thing . Now these are death traps !!! Link to post Share on other sites
kojak Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 ...I don't think it is the car itself that is inherently dangerous... It is when combined with the average distracted/blind/uncoordinated/angry/just plain stupid driver. Driving is easy, but driving safely in traffic requires a combination of skill and attention that most people don't apply to the daily task of getting around. Factor in the weird, flailing aggression that getting behind the wheel unlocks in certain idiots, and it's a wonder anyone makes it to work alive. Link to post Share on other sites

That's just it though, inherently cars aren't dangerous, a poor driver makes it so. Just wish people would stop sensationalising things. Link to post Share on other sites
Baddbaz Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 The newer cars vehicles are as safe as they can possibly be nowadays , with crumple zones , airbags , impact beams etc , an then you get the g whizz which has none of these safety aspects at all , about as safe as a pedicab .shouldnt be allowed on the road but escapes because it is technically classified as not a car , if ever there was a legal death trap this is it . !!!

Im going space Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Thing is, you either make cars entirely safe for passengers, OR safe for the people they inevitably hit. I can tell you. Cars ARENT soft. After being sideswiped by an inconsiderant driver whilst riding my motorbike. Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Some cars are soft! That new citreon i think has pedestrian airbags fitted. Pretty cool. Thing is cars are as safe as guns. Just a big block of metal and plastic but as soon as a person uses it, it becomes dangerous. Cars arnt thr issue, *suitcasey* drivers are.

Shardik Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 To be honest I have no sympathy for the driver, he pretty much deserved it. I wouldn't care if it crippled him. It's the poor *bramston pickle* riding shotgun I felt sorry for, and the driver of the lorry. Link to post Share on other sites
