this is what it looks like to drive to fast, and not see anything in front of you until you crash through it



here are some that it's a lot easier to see that things are going to happen, in time to prevent them, most of the time. Not in all of them



If you have young inxperienced drivers, have them watch a bunch of these videos, so they can learn from other peoples mistakes, and show you how they plan to not be a statistic, running up your insurance premium

  1. In the first video, it looks like the Police contributed to that incident as much as the others. What could go wrong? If it were you or me we'd have been cited for driving too fast for the conditions and following too close for the conditions. Shows you that even the light bars on a patrol car are not visible in a cloud of snow powder. I like the moment in the second video at about 6;25; my biggest driving peeve, people who won't, or don't seem to know how to merge. You give someone two car lengths of gap on an on ramp to merge, and they'll putter along shopping for a better looking gap than you've offered them; almost in your blind spot until you have to accelerate to merge with the traffic on the expressway and they try to merge.

    1. This is why I want a paint ball gun. People in a traffic jam, pulling some bullshit move like that? They get paintballed... to warn everyone who can see the paint that THIS is the moron, and you won't like them. It's perfect, not only can you release some stress shooting them with paint balls, but you can warn others with the paint

    2. This is brilliant. Too bad it can't be legal. I'll give you an A+ for the thought though. ;)
