 There are lots of idiots out there. Some lucky ones too. |

I believe this video was included as a supplementary in a treatise as to the dangers of allowing blind people to drive.
Seriously, what? I wanna smack these people repeatedly. Screw you, I have loved ones that drive. What really makes me sick is how often it's the offending vehicle that seems to suffer the least damage. |

Quoted:
oWW. There are just so many stupid people out there. Why do half of those idiots have a damn licence Because drivers licenses are not about public safety, they are about tracking us, subjugating us, and getting more $$ out of us. That bus driver 45 seconds in must have watched that Sandra Bullock and Neo movie 
ETA: DAAAAMN that suburban at 2:03 turned a potential Chernobyl into a mere three mile island. Sign him up to teach save your ASS classes 
ETA: HOLY SHEE-ITE, that pedestrian at 2:28 is one observant, quick thinking and LUCKY son of a bitch

Quoted:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qvXbIenivkThere are lots of idiots out there. Some lucky ones too. Those causing the accidents should be pulled from their cars and beaten to death right there. I will admit that I laughed when the fire trucks hit each other. I couldn't help it. |
|
Yeah, I kinda chuckled with the firetrucks, too. Some of those could have been avoided if either one had been paying attention. Being a motorcyclist, I consider every vehicle on the road a potential threat, and even if my light is green, I scan the entire intersection. |

ETA: HOLY SHEE-ITE, that pedestrian at 2:28 is one observant, quick thinking and LUCKY son of a bitch That dude walks everywhere. You can tell who walks a shitload in the city, they're the ones who don't think there is an invisible forcefield around them when they enter the crosswalk. I've almost been hit from people coming into a sliding stop while making a right turn over a dozen times and had to stop in the middle of the road. |
| I ride my motorcycle and drive my car like a paranoid guy; especially on the bike, 3 second rule before entering intersection after red light, and always looking in rear view mirror to see what is coming up from behind. Still, anything could happen. Like some of the posts said, alot of schmucks out there. Most of them are probably drunk illegals, at least in Kalifornican. |

I watch these videos and go 'wow , that's crazy' , but i was the front car in a 3 car incident @ a light a while back. Guy behind the car behind me either wasn't watching , or thought I was going to run a red light, and I got hit pretty good, the car behind me was in REALLY bad shape. |

Quoted: In the clip starting at 4:30, it looks like the white/silver car on the far left of the accident bursts into flames almost immediately after impact. Yeah it does...probably broken fuel lines....you see the driver haul ass out of the car and across the street, though... |

Quoted: Quoted: watch the video from 2:01 to 2:05 and see if you can note something. Are those .gov vehicles? can't say for sure, but it looks like a PSO detail. Two black suburbans, the second one's backup lights flash twice (might have shown it more if the video was longer). |
| I wish I could post my in car video of the lady trying to cut in front of a semi turning left. It was a same direction side swipe. First thing she did was get out of her car and start blaming the truck after she went left of center and "attempted" to improperly pass. I didn't have the heart to charge her because her car was more than likely totaled but every bit of it was caught on camera (I was directly behind the truck and ther is a 60 second pre-record). |
|
Quoted: The last one...holy crap! The one with the cop was pretty funny though. I feel sorry for the insurance companies of the people who ran the red light and took out three or more cars... I feel more sorry for the people who got hit because more than likely the insurance company hit their max payout and the people had to go after the dumbass. This of course is assuming the dumbass even had insurance. |

I got hit on my way home from shift last Sunday. Was stopped at a red light when an uninsured, unlicensed, undocumented, unbelted non-English speaking 17 year old came flying up behind me, swerved around me into the right turn lane without ever touching his brakes, clipped my rear quarter panel and blasted into the intersection T-boning a car in cross traffic. He was pretty f&*ked up. By the grace of God, the people he t-boned were OK. My truck will be in the body shop five days. |
