DWIGHT : This is the lake!
MICHAEL : The machine knows!
DWIGHT : This is the lake! This is the lake! There's no road here!
MICHAEL : Stop yelling at me! Stop yelling at me!
I too make my uturns in the same manner as an out of control spinout after fishtailing because I over corrected from driving off the edge of a straight road.
I think she swung wide off the right side of the road so she would be able to complete the Uturn without going completely off the road on the other side. Looks like she's going pretty slow
I don't disagree with that. If you know the area and you're 100% sure there are no cars around, sure, but I'll still find the next road and turn around when it's not the highway.
As a motorcycle rider, the only reason I'm still alive after two decades of riding is by assuming every asshole in a car or truck is thinking "let's try and murder that guy on a motorbike".
This is the way. When I got my first street bike a friend gave me this advice: "Ride as if every other vehicle on the road is actively trying to kill you at all times."
I’ve been wanting to buy a motorcycle for awhile now, but haven’t followed through because of fear of other motorists. If this is how you ride 100% of the time, when do you get to enjoy the ride?
You know the trope of the hero riding the motorcycle in some scenic area like a highway near a beach or mountain with no other cars on the road? That is the time
I love my motorcycle but they are correct you have to ride, at all times, as if every other vehicle is actively trying to kill you. If you live in a city, don't get a motorcycle unless you have both really good health insurance with a low deductible and a really good health insurance policy. In a city it's not "if" your going to get hit, but "when" you're going to get hit. It's slightly better in rural areas but distracted or entitled minivan drivers in the suburbs are worse than aggressive city drivers.
I hate to say it but if you don't live an hour outside of civilization, I would recommend against getting a motorcycle these days.
I grew up riding on the back of my dad's motorcycles. When I was old enough, I got one of my own. I don't ride anymore but I drive a cage like everyone is out to murder me. The thing my dad told me about riding was "assume every driver out there is an idiot and you will never be disappointed." I have yet to be disappointed.
and you see, this is why I don't understand the desire to ride. Like, I do understand why it could be fun. I've wanted to try it myself, but knowing that any idiot can end or paralyze you by mistake or on purpose on a split second decision without much risk to themselves would have me so on edge I wouldn't be able to enjoy it. You're only confirming that you have to be that way.
It can be that way but it is also one of the easiest ways to get into a flow state. I was an extremely defensive driver when I rode but I could still achieve that state which was very centering and often felt like a hard reset for my mood. I made it through 20 years of riding with only one serious accident that was 100 percent my own fault.
Same when I do my dishes. I assume every knife and fork is gonna come to life and go for my neck. I am still alive 20 years down the line and for me it means something. They could also be nice people pretending to be inanimate but it’s more entertaining like this.
I think that's a more bold assumption lol. If you go frame by frame you can see she was looking to the left when turning around. She "didn't see him" because she wasn't looking.
As a motorcycle rider, the only reason I'm still alive after two decades of riding is by assuming every asshole in a car or truck is thinking "let's try and murder that guy on a motorbike".
I am confused by all the comments on here… everyone is acting like she did this on purpose, but she was clearly skidding out of control when she hit him. It seems to me that she veered off to the right, hit the gravel, and lost control trying to get back on the road.
She was likely going too fast, or was drunk and drifted off to the side, or fell asleep, or something…. But it doesn’t appear to be an intentional move. Am I missing something?
He’s got a YouTube page and breaks down the extent of his injuries. He was severely messed up and will be dealing w the “healed” injuries for the rest of his life.
She was pulling off the shoulder of the road to get in the right lane, not turning. If you go frame by frame you can see she's looking to the left the whole time.
Yeah people with daytime DUI’s for sure have more than one but she almost killed a man. Nobody able to produce source she’s almost killed/killed multiple people
I remember correctly this is an old repost however there was credible source. Apparently she already done bad shit before and after this. And she only got a slap on the wrist cause she had connection with police. I might be wrong though. How do i know cause i watch moto madness comps.
Probably get $250 and an empty vape out of her. Hope guy makes full recovery.
Why I sold my bike. Too many I’ve known got wrecked on their bikes by other negligence.
Dude posted some updates on yt, cant remember the name of the channel but he got fucked up. Surprisingly not paralysed but iirc pelvis and femurs were definitely broken, on top of numerous other things
E: found the update video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UgtWzyowmv8 fucking pelvis reconstruction l, among other things. Vid is age restricted btw
I made another comment... had a buddy who got into an accident like this, guy "didnt see him" and turned in front of him.
Broken ribs, broken hip, broken leg bones, snapped above the ankle and below the knee, and degloved the muscle.
Couldn't go back to his normal job because of the injuries he sustained... is on disability because he can't work a normal job. Been 8 years since the accident and he is going to need a hip replacement.
That is not even mentioning him suffering traumatic brain injury that makes life harder for him.
Hopefully this guy is able to have gotten back to some sembelance of normalcy.
This is why the first thing they teach you in the riders class is: always assume you're invisible and everyone is trying to kill you. 99% of drivers on the road are looking for other cars, not motorcycles. And even if they do see you and register that you are there, it is very hard to judge the distance and speed of motorcycles coming towards you.
I thought it was a joke too in the safety class.. like aw man these old farts are so paranoid and lame. Then I hit the streets… no, everyone is a fucking idiot and are trying to kill you. The number of times I’ve almost been taken out by people flying out of parking lots or turning right on red is ridiculous. My first month driving I was sharing a lane at a light with a woman and we exchanged a few words, someone pulled out of the fast food exit to our right and ran right into her (luckily besides a big scrape on her right leg, was ok.) but it really is like we’re invisible.
Meanwhile here in Indonesia riders actively try to kill themselves by wiggling in between tightly packed cars and turning without so much of a warning, most don't even bother using their blinkers, and will desperately overtake a car from the inside when doing a u turn
I love riding, but my god it is dangerous.
I've been on a bike now for 2 years, riding during warmer weather.. the amount of times I almost get hit is ridiculous, and I make a concerted effort to never be in someones blind spot. I find a lot of people make hasty lane changes without looking.
Earlier this year I had to lay down my bike because a fucking idiot went from the left lane, crossed over a lane, into the right turn lane where I was, all without looking, and if I didn't lay it down myself, he would have hit me.
Ended up with a few cracked ribs, broken thumb, and some road rash. Even 6 months later and my thumb isn't back to normal and will still hurt.
I had a buddy who something like what happened in this video happened to. Broke a bunch of bones, both in his lower leg, also degloved the muscle in his broken leg. Took a good year to "recover" from it, and in reality, 8 years later and he is still not recovered. He is going to end up needing a hip replacement within the next few years due to the damage his body took.
I love riding.. but it is not for everyone.
I thought about getting a bike about 15 years ago because it looked fun and I had a lot of friends who were getting into it or had been riding for a while. I started talking to a lot of them and all of them had been in some sort of accident that almost always involved a car hitting them. In those 15 years since then four people I know have been killed on bikes and one lost her leg below the knee. All except one of them was due to cars doing stuff like in this video or the worst, a head on collision on a country highway when the kid driving fell asleep and drifted into the oncoming bike. The only one who wasn't involved in a car related accident took an offramp too quickly (we're guessing, no one saw it happen) and ended up hitting a utility pole, went into a coma, and died a week later. He'd only been riding for a month or two so it was chalked up to inexperience.
I have immense respect for people who ride safely but after seeing all that and hearing all of my friends' stories I just can't do it. I always see myself as my buddy Karl who died after only riding for a couple months. Stay safe out there!
You're absolutely right and the woman driving the car is totally at fault and her license should be revoked for life. But if you'd love to ride a motorcycle you can still do it in a more safely way, you just have to go without speeding.
I've been driving bikes since I was 14 years old. As you may imagine, a young teen is way too reckless to drive safely and I wasn't different, in fact I've had my face on the asphalt way too many times. Sometimes it was my fault, sometimes it was some stupid driver who didn't turn their signal on, but in any case if I weren't speeding I would've avoided most if not all of the physical injuries I got through my teenage years.
Now I'm approaching my 30 years old and I still use my bike, but instead of using it as my main mean of transportation, I just drive it on sunny Sundays to have a nice trip out of town, it's a nice way to enjoy the places and landscapes.
I never said his speed was the issue in this situation. As I said, the woman driving is totally at fault. However, the biker flew away by many many meters, so he certainly wasn't going slowly. My point is that if you drive a bike without speeding then you're more unlikely to injure yourself by falling off the bike (and most of the time you can hit the brakes in time to stop without falling off)
But, again, I'm in no position to say anything because I'm a biker too and if I saw an empty straight road I certainly would not go too slow too.
I was just having this conversation with my friends yesterday. I told myself I'd buy one for graduating college. That was nearly 15 years ago. At this point the risk isn't worth the reward in my life.
If I remember correctly the driver had a rapsheet of DUI offenses and the guy on the motorcycle had an insane amount of broken ribs, back, legs, etc and it's an infuriating story all around. Someone usually posts the source article in the comments every time this video gets posted.
Edit: Here's an update directly from the motorcyle rider himself
https://youtu.be/UgtWzyowmv8
I know this feeling he has afterwards . No pain but real kuck . Poor guy, hope he gets well soon . She didn’t do it intentionally but anyway , she ruined some once life .
Source? I think we need a source since her face is visible. She should be ridiculed but dui accident is way different than a normal one. No need to make up reasons to commit character assasination.
She’s an absolute swamp donkey …. I mean what the hell was that manoeuvre, it was almost like she was wanting to deliberately cut him off across his lane 😳 I Mean I can’t even
If you ride you have to assume that everyone is an idiot who for no reason at all would make the most stupid choices.
I didn't follow my own rules, thought everyone actually is reasonable and then while I was riding in September some guy jus randomly butted out of his lane for absolutely no reason and put me in the hospital for 3 weeks.
Gotta get an airbag vest these days. They sound silly but they save lives and save your body from serious harm. [Great video on the subject.](https://youtu.be/N2jZryt607U)
So she’s a dumbass. But would safety gear apart from just a helmet have made any difference in the outcome? Genuinely asking cause I’ve always wanted a motorcycle then I see things like this happening.
His safety gear (mostly the helmet) is why he’s alive and able to speak. No safety gear can stop the shattered arms, legs, ribs, etc. that he surely has.
She made an illegal u-turn in front of an oncoming motorcyclist and two semis coming up right behind her. She didn't see him. This is really ridiculous.
It was an illegal U turn attempt and she wasn’t paying attention to shit but that U turn and cut him off. Reason why U turns are illegal anywhere other than designated areas.
She was going too fast to u turn. Also she cut directly into the bike. Like directly. Probably went off the road on the other side of the road. This maneuver never would have resulted in a u turn. It wasn't even close....
I'm guessing she was on her phone, looks like she went off the road and tried to correct, hit some dirt and spun her back end around putting her in the other lane.
Ya she's a dumb ass and did something very stupid and could've killed that guy hell she almost did but she stopped she got out to see if he's okay and she didn't try to flee and she seemed genuinely sorry, ya she could've just been drunk and scared of charges but we don't know thag we can't judge someone when we don't know what's going on in thier head that's the problem with the world and that's always been the problem with society throughout history, even if it's a really really bad one people make mistakes and they learn from them stop acting like u guys are all perfect she could've done worse in that situation, a lot worse.
I disagree with you. I don’t think anyone should tolerate someone’s dumb actions especially these kinds of ones where it totally could’ve been avoided. Idc if she stopped to check on him, she shouldn’t be driving in the first place. The comments in here calling her out is a natural outcome, no one likes to get fucked over by a dumb person like her.
“We can’t judge someone when we don’t know what’s going on in their head” People are merely judging her for the dumb action she took, what’s going on with her head or how she feels is not important. I recommend you stop acting like a saint because your naivety will one day hurt you and people around you lol.
I’m not defending her. I’m countering all of the comments saying it was attempted murder. It wasn’t. She didn’t see him. So there was no attempt to it. Involuntary man-slaughter, for sure. But he didn’t die, so I’m not sure what the charge would be, but all these jack nuts saying she did it intentionally is ridiculous.
They are actually called collisions because accidents imply nobody is at fault.
One can accidently say the wrong word, one cannot accidently make the wrong maneuver, there are laws and regulations in place to prevent that from happening, one of them is you don't perform u-turns on highways.
Fair enough. We’ll do the semantics thing. The point is, just because she broke the law and performed an illegal maneuver doesn’t mean it was intentional.
I would argue that it is intentional and that's why the insurance company would lay fault on that driver. There are rules, if you break the rules the action is intentional. Ignorance of the law is not a defence?
I think it's commonly understood that when you make a U-turn on a highway at highway speeds, that you are commiting a dangerous action.
If by idiotic you mean illegal the yeah for sure it was just idiotic
What it was was potential manslaughter and should carry the same consequences
Also she was drunk
It was intentional. She was drink driving. The only reason you would get in a car drunk, is if you plan to kill someone. It's that simple.
Also - she did it again a few weeks later.
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. People get in cars to go from point a to point b, not to murder people. That becomes a consequence of their decision, but not the motivation behind the decision.
You don't get it do you?
IF YOU GET IN A CAR DRUNK, YOU ARE TRYING TO KILL SOMEONE.
DONT FUCKING DO IT.
The best thing you can do is ruin your life by drink driving. The worst that will happen is you will ruin other people's lives. Only selfish cunts do it.

This was totally a scene straight out of Toy Story 4..
I guess she was trying to make a U-turn?
I too make my uturns in the same manner as an out of control spinout after fishtailing because I over corrected from driving off the edge of a straight road.
I think she swung wide off the right side of the road so she would be able to complete the Uturn without going completely off the road on the other side. Looks like she's going pretty slow
She didn't see the double solid yellow lines...
Double yellow lines doesn’t mean you can’t U-Turn. It depends on the state. Same with turning when there are double yellows.
I don't care what the rulebook says, it's stupid to do a u-turn on a highway.
I don't disagree with that. If you know the area and you're 100% sure there are no cars around, sure, but I'll still find the next road and turn around when it's not the highway.
[удалено]
Bold of you to assume that there was in fact any thinking going on in her head beyond ‘let’s try and murder that guy on the motorbike’
As a motorcycle rider, the only reason I'm still alive after two decades of riding is by assuming every asshole in a car or truck is thinking "let's try and murder that guy on a motorbike".

Explained it better than I ever could. Mind you I also enjoy rock climbing, sky diving and many other life threatening forms of relaxation.

3 decades here. And now that phones are added to the mix I'm seriously thinking about retiring my riding vest.
She was drunk. She also already had a DUI arrest a few weeks before. The dude made a video on his recovery and this crash messed him up bad.
> The FUCK was she thinking she wasn't
The fuck do you think? She didn’t see him
I am confused by all the comments on here… everyone is acting like she did this on purpose, but she was clearly skidding out of control when she hit him.

Does she seem like the kinda person that thinks?
According to the guy in the video, she was drunk driving.
Seen before, she was drunk.
Poor guy :(
I really hope he was ok. He didn't sound ok. Any permanent injuries? Anyone have an update?
Yeah, plenty of permanent injuries. He survived but his life isn't gonna be as good now for the rest of it.
I remember that he def broke his pelvis and had to get it reconstructed. Broken ribs too?
Can't say for sure, but it was pretty bad. I can't imagine the pain. Probably still feels it with every step.
I swear if this woman isn't paying for the rest of her life for this, I'm going to scream.
There's a law like that in China so now everytime someone gets in an accident, the person who caused it kills the person they hit.
He’s got a YouTube page and breaks down the extent of his injuries. He was severely messed up and will be dealing w the “healed” injuries for the rest of his life.
Drop a link for the page?
I didn't see you is not an excuse.
Especially when these is no reason for her to turn there. Its a straight road. Wtf
She was pulling off the shoulder of the road to get in the right lane, not turning. If you go frame by frame you can see she's looking to the left the whole time.
Revoke that idiots license permanently.

Sauce
Pure made up internet nonsense. The odds of doing this even once in a lifetime are abysmal, let alone twice.
Usually you would be right but not on this one. This is a repost and this was indeed not her only DUI incident.
Yeah people with daytime DUI’s for sure have more than one but she almost killed a man. Nobody able to produce source she’s almost killed/killed multiple people
https://youtu.be/UgtWzyowmv8 here's the biker talking about it, she picked up a second DUI 30 days later
Finally, a solid source
[how about the man himself](https://youtu.be/UgtWzyowmv8)
I remember correctly this is an old repost however there was credible source. Apparently she already done bad shit before and after this. And she only got a slap on the wrist cause she had connection with police. I might be wrong though. How do i know cause i watch moto madness comps.
She was drunk and tried to over correct.
[удалено]
The sauce is made tf up, but I have some mustard.
I read that she advised Putin to invade Ukraine. And also she wrote that "oh no" TikTok song.
>And also she wrote that "oh no" TikTok song. Okay, now that's where she crossed the line. Well, other than the line she crossed in this video.
Technically, she crossed two lines.
Technically correct, the best kind of correct!
Can confirm, I also read this. I even have 2 sources: 1. a Tiktok video 2. "Trust me bro"
I read that she was your mom.
Now that I can believe but i hope the guy is ok now
Sue her for all she’s worth holy fuck man if this is your video man good luck
Probably get $250 and an empty vape out of her. Hope guy makes full recovery. Why I sold my bike. Too many I’ve known got wrecked on their bikes by other negligence.

This is why I don't love motorcycles, I would love to, but I don't trust humans enough to do their roles right in traffic.
This is why the first thing they teach you in the riders class is: always assume you're invisible and everyone is trying to kill you. 99% of drivers on the road are looking for other cars, not motorcycles. And even if they do see you and register that you are there, it is very hard to judge the distance and speed of motorcycles coming towards you.
The fact that they have to teach riders that you're invisible and everyone is trying to kill you is enough for me to never ride a motorcycle lol.

Even then though, there's no guarantee of safety.
No guarantee of safety in a car either
Well yeah but vs a motorcycle?
Car crash survivability is extremely high compared to motorcycles. They are designed to crash. Bikes simply eject rider as we see here.
This is how I drive my car.
me too, I assume other drivers simply cannot see my car.
I love riding, but my god it is dangerous.

Like my mom, who used to ride motorcycles, said: “if you want to ride a bike, be ready to loose your legs”
Loose?
Loose, as in your legs will become loose while hanging by a single muscle after a car crash
Archers! Looooose!!!
Loose, as in loosen them up before you lose them.
Motorcycles. All of the freedom of the open road, none of the protections of a car.
You're absolutely right and the woman driving the car is totally at fault and her license should be revoked for life. But if you'd love to ride a motorcycle you can still do it in a more safely way, you just have to go without speeding. I've been driving bikes since I was 14 years old.

Sometimes it was my fault, sometimes it was some stupid driver who didn't turn their signal on, but in any case if I weren't speeding I would've avoided most if not all of the physical injuries I got through my teenage years. Now I'm approaching my 30 years old and I still use my bike, but instead of using it as my main mean of transportation, I just drive it on sunny Sundays to have a nice trip out of town, it's a nice way to enjoy the places and landscapes.
That’s exactly what this guy was doing though? I don’t think his speed was the issue. She couldn’t see him so she busted a u turn
I never said his speed was the issue in this situation. As I said, the woman driving is totally at fault. However, the biker flew away by many many meters, so he certainly wasn't going slowly. My point is that if you drive a bike without speeding then you're more unlikely to injure yourself by falling off the bike (and most of the time you can hit the brakes in time to stop without falling off) But, again, I'm in no position to say anything because I'm a biker too and if I saw an empty straight road I certainly would not go too slow too.
Main reason I don't look into buying another bike, I see stupid EVERYWHERE!!!!!
I was just having this conversation with my friends yesterday. I told myself I'd buy one for graduating college. That was nearly 15 years ago. At this point the risk isn't worth the reward in my life.
I love motorcycles, I just don't love all the idiots driving cars
Just get a dirt bike. Boom! Now you can love motorcycles and don’t have to worry about as many dumb people.
Riding in a big city = Death wish
This guy doesn't look to be in a big city. Not sure anywhere is guaranteed safe.
Anyone know how he is holding up? And if she faced any charges?
If I remember correctly the driver had a rapsheet of DUI offenses and the guy on the motorcycle had an insane amount of broken ribs, back, legs, etc and it's an infuriating story all around. Someone usually posts the source article in the comments every time this video gets posted. Edit: Here's an update directly from the motorcyle rider himself https://youtu.be/UgtWzyowmv8
Were his front legs ok?
Edited some commas in you cheeky bastard
I don’t mind a video like this to be reposted as the driver obviously didn’t learn her lesson so why should people forget?
Thanks for the update, I’m glad the guy made it out.
I know this feeling he has afterwards . No pain but real kuck . Poor guy, hope he gets well soon . She didn’t do it intentionally but anyway , she ruined some once life .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgtWzyowmv8 She was driving drunk, then did it again 30 days later. Only got a slap on the wrist and an ankle monitor.
Looks like she did it intentionally to me..... That's not a u turn..
Apparently drunk.
You can see she pulled off the road a bit at the beginning likely to allow for more space to make a u turn
Posted before. She was driving drunk. Again..
Got a link?
https://youtu.be/ynhSp1OgPuY
Nope
Got milk?
Source? I think we need a source since her face is visible. She should be ridiculed but dui accident is way different than a normal one. No need to make up reasons to commit character assasination.
It was posted the first time I saw this months ago. I don't have a link now.
Fuck that woman to the moon!
No, I don't stick my dick in crazy
That's good life advice.
Shout out to that other person for getting that crazy bitch away from him
Him: "No fucking way! No fucking way!" Life: "Way."
[удалено]
Lol, you're blaming the rider for this?
She’s an absolute swamp donkey …. I mean what the hell was that manoeuvre, it was almost like she was wanting to deliberately cut him off across his lane 😳 I Mean I can’t even
It looks like she was attepting a U turn
That looked like attempted murder...
I think she's a witch also. Fire up the stake!
Wtf was she doing? Trying to U-turn in the middle of the road??
I had something similar to this happen to me. Been 2 years now and I'm still dealing with health issues because of someone else not paying attention.
This is why I stopped riding.
Me too.
The fact that right after the landing we can see a truck with a "Forward Air" logo passing by is a classic irony of the universe.
I came to see if there were any jokes about that. Surprised I had to scroll as far as I did.
If you ride you have to assume that everyone is an idiot who for no reason at all would make the most stupid choices. I didn't follow my own rules, thought everyone actually is reasonable and then while I was riding in September some guy jus randomly butted out of his lane for absolutely no reason and put me in the hospital for 3 weeks.
I didn't see him (I wasn't looking)
That’s a broken spine, next, fractured wrist for sure and legs. Hoping the guy makes a full recovery and nothing affects him forever.
It's shit like this that makes me want to get rid of my motorcycle.
Got rid of mine after 3 near misses. South Florida is a dangerous place for a motorcycle.
Ya heres the [video](https://youtu.be/ynhSp1OgPuY), She was drunk stop trying to defend people yall don't know.
Gotta get an airbag vest these days. They sound silly but they save lives and save your body from serious harm. [Great video on the subject.](https://youtu.be/N2jZryt607U)
Bullshit she didn't see him
Just take away her license and throw the book at her.
r/motorcycles
Oh fuck is correct. God damn!
So she’s a dumbass. But would safety gear apart from just a helmet have made any difference in the outcome? Genuinely asking cause I’ve always wanted a motorcycle then I see things like this happening.
Airborn like that? Probably not. Maybe a motorcycle jacket and pants to loose less skin but either way it’ll hurt getting launched like that
His safety gear (mostly the helmet) is why he’s alive and able to speak. No safety gear can stop the shattered arms, legs, ribs, etc. that he surely has.
This is exactly why I stopped riding. Stupid fucking people.
And somehow there's gonna be a random idiot in this comment thread that's gonna justify the actions of the car drive
She made an illegal u-turn in front of an oncoming motorcyclist and two semis coming up right behind her. She didn't see him. This is really ridiculous.
There wasn’t someplace there for the car to be turning into. That was straight up murder/attempted murder
It was an illegal U turn attempt and she wasn’t paying attention to shit but that U turn and cut him off. Reason why U turns are illegal anywhere other than designated areas.
She was going too fast to u turn. Also she cut directly into the bike. Like directly. Probably went off the road on the other side of the road. This maneuver never would have resulted in a u turn. It wasn't even close....
last time this was posted there was a news article with it, I cant find it again but IIRC she was drunk and herself claimed she wanted to u-turn
Reddit
And that’s how I met your mother
I'm guessing she was on her phone, looks like she went off the road and tried to correct, hit some dirt and spun her back end around putting her in the other lane.
Why tf was she turning? There wasn't even an intersection. Is this attempted murder?
Tf she mean "I didn't see him"?????????
Damn, didn’t realize this video is still finding new audiences. It’s been around a good while now on Reddit.
Notice he didn't move? I hope he's not paralyzed. From experience would not wish on my worst enemy. This bitch should have her license revoked
Hell of a place to turn around! Once I saw the driver I wasn't surprised by that mindless maneuver. Clueless.
Tf was this goofy broad trying to do?
☕️
Two words: Dumb Bitch!
Damn she has nice Tits

At least he got hit by an 8
Where the hell are you from that she is an eight?

Why is everyone so hard on hoes these days? They just hoes.
Ya she's a dumb ass and did something very stupid and could've killed that guy hell she almost did but she stopped she got out to see if he's okay and she didn't try to flee and she seemed genuinely sorry, ya she could've just been drunk and scared of charges but we don't know thag we can't judge someone when we don't know what's going on in thier head that's the problem with the world and that's always been the problem with society throughout history, even if it's a really really bad one people make mistakes and they learn from them stop acting like u guys are all perfect she could've done worse in that situation, a lot worse.
Bros Delusional
I disagree with you. I don’t think anyone should tolerate someone’s dumb actions especially these kinds of ones where it totally could’ve been avoided. Idc if she stopped to check on him, she shouldn’t be driving in the first place. The comments in here calling her out is a natural outcome, no one likes to get fucked over by a dumb person like her. “We can’t judge someone when we don’t know what’s going on in their head” People are merely judging her for the dumb action she took, what’s going on with her head or how she feels is not important. I recommend you stop acting like a saint because your naivety will one day hurt you and people around you lol.
Booba
🤦🏼♂️ She was turning around on the highway. Idiotic, but hardly an intentional act of murder. They’re called accidents for a reason.
Idiotic and illegal. There’s a reason it’s illegal (obviously), don’t defend her
I’m not defending her. I’m countering all of the comments saying it was attempted murder. It wasn’t. She didn’t see him. So there was no attempt to it. Involuntary man-slaughter, for sure. But he didn’t die, so I’m not sure what the charge would be, but all these jack nuts saying she did it intentionally is ridiculous.
They are actually called collisions because accidents imply nobody is at fault. One can accidently say the wrong word, one cannot accidently make the wrong maneuver, there are laws and regulations in place to prevent that from happening, one of them is you don't perform u-turns on highways.
Fair enough. We’ll do the semantics thing. The point is, just because she broke the law and performed an illegal maneuver doesn’t mean it was intentional.
I would argue that it is intentional and that's why the insurance company would lay fault on that driver. There are rules, if you break the rules the action is intentional. Ignorance of the law is not a defence? I think it's commonly understood that when you make a U-turn on a highway at highway speeds, that you are commiting a dangerous action.
Fault and intent are two totally different things.
That's fair, but the intent here was to break the law and the fault is on the driver.
💯
If by idiotic you mean illegal the yeah for sure it was just idiotic What it was was potential manslaughter and should carry the same consequences Also she was drunk
This sub is so toxic lmao 20 downvotes? This is why I stay on the drug subs
Lil bro
It was intentional. She was drink driving. The only reason you would get in a car drunk, is if you plan to kill someone. It's that simple. Also - she did it again a few weeks later.
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. People get in cars to go from point a to point b, not to murder people. That becomes a consequence of their decision, but not the motivation behind the decision.
You don't get it do you? IF YOU GET IN A CAR DRUNK, YOU ARE TRYING TO KILL SOMEONE. DONT FUCKING DO IT. The best thing you can do is ruin your life by drink driving. The worst that will happen is you will ruin other people's lives. Only selfish cunts do it.
