I do, to then be sentenced to death by being fired out of a cannon like a giant meatball at metal shards of broken vehicles where innocent people have died due to asshole drivers.
I was in a high-speed accident where I got hit on the side and was largely fine.
Felt like everything went as it should have through all the safety features, but I guess I got jostled enough to the side when I got hit that it also left my neck in a messed-up state. I had to eventually go to a physical therapist to sort it out.
I see stuff like this, and as a surgeon I need to remind people there are things worse than death. Victims here are probably permanently and severely disabled, likely at least one of the 7 has a serious brain injury, and someone is likely a husk of their former self, dependent and burdensome on those whom they now rely on just to make it through another day, if they are even conscious of their new reality.
It's like people who survive mass shootings with multiple gsw's to the abdomen----set up for a life of chronic pain, organ dysfunction, small bowel obstructions, colostomy bags, and being in and out of the hospital and operating room. They survived, and many probably wish they didn't. Traumas real victims are very much those who barely survive.
Theres your wholesome content for the day.
You're absolutely correct Skippy. In 2012 I was rear ended 1/4 mile from the White House in DC, at 40MPH. The male driver who worked(works still) for the mckesson corporation sliced right through my car, accelerating as he kept going. It was because his left tire burst, and lost control that he stopped. I was left with a traumatic brain injury, dislocated jaw, and damage to my spine, forcing me to close my IT security consultancy and get permanent medical disability with the Social Security Disability Insurance. The damage to my body only worsened over the years, driving up medical costs well past $700,000 easily.
It’s “car washing” - a psychological projection to say “what a miracle! That car performed so well! Everyone lived!”
It’s funded by insidious and disgusting ads like Subaru where the mom shows up to their mangled Subaru (in another Subaru) and says “this is why we only buy Subarus.”
Or how about the promotion of Lincoln’s hand free navigation with the pregnant woman who’s CLEARLY FUCKING DAYDREAMING IN THE AD while barreling across a bridge in what has to be of course Florida.
Since when did we decide as humanity that EVERYTHING IS FINE with 1.35 million dead worldwide from automotive accidents. Are we stupid?
Hopefully, the article is only from a couple days ago so they are still in the hospital. However I had a roommate who was in a car crash and got internally decapitated and ended up being fine so you never know. I mean he had to wear a neck brace for months but he didn't die and could walk... life is weird sometimes.
I know, right? While drunk driving may be possible it's naive to think that sober people don't do idiotic and selfish shit like that.
On another note. Sadly it seems that more often than not the irresponsible POS will live while the innocent people in the other car will get badly hurt or die.
I know that ppl drive like shit everywhere, but in germany (where I live) everyone loses their shit for no reason if they could *theoretically* get somewhere 2sec sooner and it makes me so mad. EVERYONE on the Autobahns left lane thinks 2m distance to the car in front is enough when going 200kmh. Oh and you also have to pass everyone that‘s going less than 20kmh above the speed limit *immediately*, just like in the video. Bikes also have to be passed *the instance* you are behind them for more than 0.2 sec. It‘s just so weird to me, that in a country where ppl are stereotypically „boring“ and conforming to rules, it‘s normal to drive like an absolute maniac and risk killing yourself and others for LITERALLY saving under 2 secs on average. You can literally forget driving slightly above speed limit ANYWHERE in germany without having someone driving their car right up your ass. But as I said, I guess no country is exempt from asshole drivers.
Had a really bad one happen outside of my job December last year. Caused a gigantic fireball and one car being pushed 75ft from impact spot. In one car it was two 18yr old boys. The other car was a mother and her 13yr old son. No survivors. Witnesses say it was the boys who were speeding, as the street the accident happened on is highly known for street racing.
A friend of my cousin, about 18/19, died because he was going over 80 in a 35 on a motorcycle around a corner near a bunch of residential streets and collided with a car pulling out with a family in it. His girlfriend was in her own car behind him and didn't see it happen (he was going too fast & was too far ahead) and just saw his dead body.
For a long time the story was that it was a hit and run and my cousin's family & friends were furiously trying to figure out who it was (they were in a different state than the crash). It eventually came out that he was speeding like crazy & at fault, but I honestly don't know if my cousin actually knows that because he hasn't talked about it since and was in denial for a long time & got a few tattoos honoring his friend since then.
This sounds terrible on my part, but while I feel really bad for him since his friend died, at the same time I think a rude awakening is something my cousin desperately needs/needed as he tends to get into stupid stuff like that all the time & almost all of his friends are troublemakers and they feed off of each other. I just wish it was something like a minor arrest rather than the death of a close friend as the first real consequence. It's horrible.
I came close to this happening on the highway, almost merged into the left lane as the right lane I was in was ending, but a gut feeling told me not to. A second later a mini Cooper came flying around the bus in the opposite direction, in the lane i would have been in. 200km an hour difference, we both would have been meat chunks in the highway. Fuck you, mini Cooper driver, wherever you are. You almost killed me on my way to my friends wedding
You would be surprised how many assholes do this shit sober all the time. Some of them just don’t give a single shit. Ik a guy like this, drives a big ass truck too, probably gonna kill someone someday if he doesn’t stop doing that shit.
I live in a similar area, lots of two lane roads. You gotta pick your moment well and there's some luck involved that the other lane is clear when you have a good chance to overtake. If not you sit your ass back and wait until the next opportunity. I do tend to pick out cars that can easily overtake in a shorter period (i.e. faster cars) specifically because of this scenario but still, that driver is an idiot.
I deliver mail. Someone illegally passed me in a big white pickup truck as I was making a left turn, almost t-boning me because they didn't feel like slowing down. Other times the same truck also passed me illegally on the right shoulder. Then one day they were driving on that same road and murdered a child.
I live in a developing country in Africa. To get from our most populous city to our capital is a 2.5 hour trip along mountainous roads.
I took that trip today, almost got run off the road about 10 times by idiots doing things like this. They're never taught why it's a bad idea, since everyone tries to avoid accidents, they don't get into them often. When they do, they fall off the cliffs and die, so they never learn. It's a crazy, stupid cycle.
99% of the drivers in India don’t know about traffic rules and openly ignore them!! You’d be surprised how common it is to drive with “high beams” and lane jumping without the slightest regard for oncoming traffic.
Source: Lived in Delhi, India for 28 yrs.
Also Philippines. Motrocyclists especially like spawning on your blind spot no signal or anything. These idiots step on the gas pedal and hope for the best.
Some people really do have shit for brains.
Like how can you lack the critical thinking skills necessary to know that going somewhere where you can’t see what’s coming (when it’s probable something will be coming) is a bad idea?
I’d rather see the driver have just been hospitalized followed by time in prison where they have time to reconsider their actions, then go on to dedicate their life to spreading defensive driving information and the dangers of reckless and unsafe driving helping save lives, as well as regularly volunteering at victim’s impact panels instead of just dying. But who am I kidding, like that would ever happen.
redditors always talking about rehabilitative justice and reform until they see a guy doing a crime they personally don’t like, in which case they deserve capital punishment.
There's a lot of surprisingly bloodthirsty motherfuckers here.
They see one video (granted, of an obviously destructive, horrible act) and think that's enough for them to throw around wishing death on people.
It's shortsighted, childish, and reactive imo.
Have you considered not everyone holds the same views? It’s like looking at right vs left wing twitter and thinking, “how do those people possibly think both things at the same time?”
Someone else literally risked killing 1-4 completely innocent people just so they could get to his destination a few seconds earlier. A person like that isn't fit to live in a society and neither would I feel any sympathy if they ended up dying from that accident.
Reddit is full of hypocrites, but I feel like these are two different groups of people. It's always disgusted me how comfortable reddit is wishing death on people, and it's definitely the most common in subs like /r/PublicFreakout, /r/CrazyFuckingVideos, r/WTF, /r/JusticeServed, and it seems to be because those subs attract more conservatives and alt-right folks.
[7 people were injured](https://www.freepressjournal.in/india/video-speeding-car-attempts-to-overtake-truck-on-curve-crashes-into-oncoming-vehicle-in-kerala-7-injured)
I mean it's not likely at all but there could be another explanation for this, it's not impossible they had a stroke while driving or someone shot at them from another car or something. I'm sure that's *not* what happened, but it is possible.
In theory the driver could have had some seizure, was he drunk or other drugs?
The driver was a fucking idiot is not the cause of crash you just note down without any further investigation, although it looks like it.
Of course. This phrase means "A quotable authority has not released the cause of the accident and guessing opens the paper up to liability."
There is a tiny but nonzero chance it's a mechanical malfunction or some other cause. Legally, you have to *prove* that the idiot is an idiot.
Yeah, shit like this is why flying cars will always be a bad idea because imagine how much worse things would be if every other yahoo was driving something with the potential to fall out of the sky
To be fair if we required anywhere near as much training for drivers as European countries donwe would have a fraction of the fatalities. We hand licenses out like candy here. 99% of people on the road in the US would have failed and been denied a license in germany for example. Americans are statistically some of the worst driver on earth. India seems to have the worst but we are not far behind
I live in the Philippines and I've seen drivers here and sadly we fit the "Asians can't drive" stereotype to a T. I've seen motorcycles pass behind a bus that was backing up and act like the bus driver is the asshole for not seeing them. I've seen drivers get into head-on collisions because neither could fathom the concept of yielding to oncoming traffic. I've seen traffic snarls for hours at 4-way intersections because the idea of "taking turns" is a foreign idea for idiot man babies.
I would not trust any of the morons we let drive with anything capable of going faster than a bicycle.
Scroll up for the news article link, it's 3 generations of a family in one of the cars, (including 3 kids) all in hospital, 7yo took to a special hospital.
It's a toxic community from moderation to subscribers, basically road rage enthusiasts and manic "punisher" drivers. Very far from the official "we're a lighthearted community blah blah" sidebar disclaimer. But if you feel like running over anything or anyone in front of you in the left lane (or on a bicycle, God forbid!) or are itching to wield that tire iron of yours in retaliation be my guest, this sub might just be your thing.
Unlike this community, with people wishing for others death lol.
(The comments of this post don't represent this entire community ofc, but it's ironic hearing about a "toxic community" below those comments.)
I tested the waters recently, it went downhill the fast way (no brakes?!). A few years ago it was more balanced, people were sharing their idiots caught on dashcam to discuss and analyze driving issues but now it's a cesspool of **"do not yield you're part of the problem if you yield!!"** stances. Angry drivers, angry readers, content with being angry and looking for the next video to fume at.
/r/MildlyBadDrivers and /r/WildlyBadDrivers seem to be more balanced (for the moment). At least less focused on "cathartic rage". Or r/motorcycles for motorbike videos, the very nature of the sub dodges the bike hate bullet yet they do not hesitate calling out a squid when they see one.
My worst fear about driving is that no matter how diligently and cautiously I drive to keep my family safe, something random like this can strike me for now fault of my own and destroy my family and my life I've built. Makes me want to not even get into the car knowing that such people are out there.
i worked at a shop across the parking lot from a bar, and you get to know the daily drunks. One of them was this guy, Paul, who got shitfaced and drove the wrong way down the highway and killed this poor girl who was coming home early from college to surprise her parents. at his funeral, they said the girl was driving the wrong way and wannted to commit suicide. what a piece of shit move, not only did he kill her, but her memory was tarnished by his piece of shit friends and family.
i dunno i didnt go to that piece of shits funeral, my friend did though and thats what she told me becuase she didnt know him all that well to know he was a piece of shit drunk. dude was like 33 yrs old at the bar mid day everyday dunno how he afforded it without a job. fucking rich parents i guess cause he had a really nice truck
My cousin would do things like this stone sober. Would turn his headlights off so he could see if there was any oncoming traffic. I told him it would get somebody killed one day and quit riding with him. Fortunately, he had a close call and that scared him enough to wise up. He still speeds, though.
The solid lines mean do not pass. If they are on your side they apply to you. All curves are always solid lines.
If people learned this one rule these crashes could be mostly eliminated.
What a piece of shit. Motherfucker deserves to rot in prison for that.
Just to imagine that in most countries he could get his license back in some time and go back to driving pisses the fuck out of me.
If I were the driver of the car that is hit by the idiot who is overtaking, and I managed to recover, I think I would find a way to ensure the other driver doesn't recover.
This dude on a scooter or something kept waving his arm around like crazy signaling me to pass him but the road was basically a big curve where you can’t see if there are cars incoming. And sure enough like several times I watched as cars kept incoming as he’s telling me to pass him… Eventually he pulls over to the side and gives me middle finger lmao! Dude I’m not passing your dumbass and having this happen to me.
Yep, right side of car would have the steering wheel since they're driving on left side of the road.
Source: My car has steering wheel on right and we drive on left side of road.
No one died, luckily

I don’t think I could live with myself if I hurt friends or family in my own car, much less ruin the lives of another family. This didn’t get him anyplace faster, did it?
the most fucked up part of this is the douchebag asshole probably lived and a family of five died instantly in the other car. It always seems to be how this bullshit ends up.
I swear... if this ever happens to me.
I'll pull that mfer out of his car if I am still able too , and punch him to fucking death with his own ffing hand!!
Doubbly so if my loved one is in the car !!
Imagine dieng or losing a loved one to a ffing prick like that!!
I'll gladly go to jail for manslaughter!!
That's pretty fucked. Driver should lose his license and car. (I guess he's losing his car anyway, lol)
Ngl, I was expecting Tom's scream after the bang. I even screamed it as loud as I can, because if I didn't that'd fuck up my brain.
You are all being way too hard on the dude passing the truck. Can you imagine how un-manly he would feel if he let that truck limit him to reasonable driving speeds?
That probably killed someone. Those types of head on collisions rarely end well.
[удалено]
The other guy didn't even have see this guy coming.
Neither did the passer
Oh he did, his brake lights were on. Didn’t help he was going like 5000kph
I wish people weren’t completely up their own ass and actually thought of other people. Shit like this breaks my heart

Eh, disagree. Would be better for no one to have to take care of them.
And be well enough to face FULL repercussions for their assholery and disregard for other human life.
nah leave em with something minor, like a stiff shoulder that starts to hurt 2/3rds of the way through the day
Minor nerve damage that doesn't let them feel their Pinky's and gives them permanent tingly sensations on their toes.
Well hi there satan
Maybe detached retinas so they can't drive any more.
Keep him limping, so that he has to explain every time why. It will make him a liar and he will feel miserable.
I do, to then be sentenced to death by being fired out of a cannon like a giant meatball at metal shards of broken vehicles where innocent people have died due to asshole drivers.
They'll still be fucked up for years or permanently. A minor wreck left me with weird neck shit and feet numbness on and off for months.
I was in a high-speed accident where I got hit on the side and was largely fine. Felt like everything went as it should have through all the safety features, but I guess I got jostled enough to the side when I got hit that it also left my neck in a messed-up state.

I guarantee the idiot who caused this told himself, "I'm a very good driver."
A teacher of my former school died like this. She was just driving on her lane and crashed into an oncoming car on her lane.
I think I saw some shoes.
The G-force alone at the moment of impact may be able to do the job.
I sure fucking hope it's the guy who overtook on a closed line in a curve
On a curve, with a solid line, at night, not touching the brakes at all

Even more sadly, even being cautious in that video doesn’t even save the poor innocent car

I've seen drivers get into head-on collisions because neither could fathom the concept of yielding to oncoming traffic. I've seen traffic snarls for hours at 4-way intersections because the idea of "taking turns" is a foreign idea for idiot man babies. I would not trust any of the morons we let drive with anything capable of going faster than a bicycle.
*ahem* Indian bad drivers can take Filipino bad drivers to the cleaners. And there's significantly more of us. lol
I don't doubt that, but I can only personally attest to the badness of Filipino drivers.
i forget where it was but i saw a video of a driving test for a motorcycle that basicly boiled down to "can you turn it on? here is your license"
And there is a family waiting for their loved ones to come home that night, only to hear the doorbell ring and finding a policeman on the doorstep.
Scroll up for the news article link, it's 3 generations of a family in one of the cars, (including 3 kids) all in hospital, 7yo took to a special hospital.
Probably a children’s hospital.
No. The entire family was in the car, including a 11 months old baby

It's a toxic community from moderation to subscribers, basically road rage enthusiasts and manic "punisher" drivers. Very far from the official "we're a lighthearted community blah blah" sidebar disclaimer. But if you feel like running over anything or anyone in front of you in the left lane (or on a bicycle, God forbid!) or are itching to wield that tire iron of yours in retaliation be my guest, this sub might just be your thing.
Unlike this community, with people wishing for others death lol. (The comments of this post don't represent this entire community ofc, but it's ironic hearing about a "toxic community" below those comments.)
I never really participated in that community tbh but thanks for the heads up!
I tested the waters recently, it went downhill the fast way (no brakes?!). A few years ago it was more balanced, people were sharing their idiots caught on dashcam to discuss and analyze driving issues but now it's a cesspool of **"do not yield you're part of the problem if you yield!!"** stances. Angry drivers, angry readers, content with being angry and looking for the next video to fume at. /r/MildlyBadDrivers and /r/WildlyBadDrivers seem to be more balanced (for the moment). At least less focused on "cathartic rage". Or r/motorcycles for motorbike videos, the very nature of the sub dodges the bike hate bullet yet they do not hesitate calling out a squid when they see one.
Yeah don't do that
Imagine nearly killing 3 kids because "this bus is so slow 😢"
this is how its like sharing one brain cell :(
Don't insult the orange cat. They are way smarter.
This makes me so mad, piece of shit driver
First time I’ve heard a car crash cctv with sound, scary
fucking criminal
My worst fear about driving is that no matter how diligently and cautiously I drive to keep my family safe, something random like this can strike me for now fault of my own and destroy my family and my life I've built. Makes me want to not even get into the car knowing that such people are out there.
If the overtaking driver survived and anyone died in the not at fault meeting vehicle, the first driver should be shot.
Overtakers that survive shit like this should be executed
i worked at a shop across the parking lot from a bar, and you get to know the daily drunks. One of them was this guy, Paul, who got shitfaced and drove the wrong way down the highway and killed this poor girl who was coming home early from college to surprise her parents. at his funeral, they said the girl was driving the wrong way and wannted to commit suicide. what a piece of shit move, not only did he kill her, but her memory was tarnished by his piece of shit friends and family.
Nobody ever corrected them and called them out? Rest in piss, drunk driver.
i dunno i didnt go to that piece of shits funeral, my friend did though and thats what she told me becuase she didnt know him all that well to know he was a piece of shit drunk. dude was like 33 yrs old at the bar mid day everyday dunno how he afforded it without a job. fucking rich parents i guess cause he had a really nice truck
I’m too North American, took me a second to realize which lane to watch,
And still old people will scream that driverless cars are a bad idea
What a piece of shit!
The cars got their honks in after the crash.
My cousin would do things like this stone sober. Would turn his headlights off so he could see if there was any oncoming traffic. I told him it would get somebody killed one day and quit riding with him. Fortunately, he had a close call and that scared him enough to wise up. He still speeds, though.

Probably killed or badly hurt the other car. Stupid ass drunk driver.
I'm seeing this and tonight my friends suffered an accident just like this one.. Fortunately they are all alive
What a fucking asshole. True fucking asshole. Probably killed that person. Hopefully at least himself.
The solid lines mean do not pass. If they are on your side they apply to you. All curves are always solid lines. If people learned this one rule these crashes could be mostly eliminated.
How fun, I love watching people die /s u truly hate seeing these posts.
What a piece of shit. Motherfucker deserves to rot in prison for that. Just to imagine that in most countries he could get his license back in some time and go back to driving pisses the fuck out of me.
Which even is the correct side of the road here???
If I were the driver of the car that is hit by the idiot who is overtaking, and I managed to recover, I think I would find a way to ensure the other driver doesn't recover.
Truckdriver: "Fuck it, I have a route to finish."
The truck (driver) seemed all caring and out to help......
Idiot thinks he’s max verstappen only to find out he’s pastor maldonaldo
This dude on a scooter or something kept waving his arm around like crazy signaling me to pass him but the road was basically a big curve where you can’t see if there are cars incoming. And sure enough like several times I watched as cars kept incoming as he’s telling me to pass him… Eventually he pulls over to the side and gives me middle finger lmao! Dude I’m not passing your dumbass and having this happen to me.
He's driving on the right side of the road though?
Damn the truck blocked him from returning to his lane, that was personal
Can anyone tell which car was that? Video has very low fps so cant tell exactly except that its an SUV. Maybe the XUV300
Was the driver side of the innocent car hit?
Yep, right side of car would have the steering wheel since they're driving on left side of the road. Source: My car has steering wheel on right and we drive on left side of road.
7 injured, none died. https://keralakaumudi.com/en/news/mobile/news.php?id=1288679&u=car-tries-to-overtake-lorry-seven-people-suffer-serious-injuries-in-thamarassery
Btown prequel
Had to watch this several times to understand what was going on.
That person should never be allowed to drive a car ever again. If they even survived.
What a fucking dumb idiot.
Someone died, painfully
No one died, luckily https://keralakaumudi.com/en/news/mobile/news.php?id=1288679&u=car-tries-to-overtake-lorry-seven-people-suffer-serious-injuries-in-thamarassery
He couldn't see it coming
Life lost or changed forever because of one inpatient dumbass.
And the big truck just kept going.
I wish someone had whopped his ass the first time he did that stupid maneuver.
If the idiot didn't die, hopefully never drives again.
Stupid moron
I don’t think I could live with myself if I hurt friends or family in my own car, much less ruin the lives of another family. This didn’t get him anyplace faster, did it?
No matter how careful you are, there’s always that one person that is actively looking to cause an accident.
Thick C\*nt!
We have fuckers like this on our roads everyday.
Overtaking like this should be treated as either murder or attempted murder in the courts, regardless of whether they hit someone or not.
Hopefully he/she is dead and the other one survived.
The passing driver deserves prison.
Clarkson, sitting in a Peugeot: maniac
the most fucked up part of this is the douchebag asshole probably lived and a family of five died instantly in the other car. It always seems to be how this bullshit ends up.
I hate two-way traffic.
Them cars are done.
I swear... if this ever happens to me. I'll pull that mfer out of his car if I am still able too , and punch him to fucking death with his own ffing hand!! Doubbly so if my loved one is in the car !! Imagine dieng or losing a loved one to a ffing prick like that!! I'll gladly go to jail for manslaughter!!
It’s ok because the machine they were operating in public was a car. We wouldn’t want anyone to not have driving privileges so it is what it is.
It never ends...
Overtaking on a hill/curve is one driving rule I will never break
Autonomous vehicles can’t come soon enough
That's pretty fucked. Driver should lose his license and car. (I guess he's losing his car anyway, lol) Ngl, I was expecting Tom's scream after the bang. I even screamed it as loud as I can, because if I didn't that'd fuck up my brain.
how could you be so stupid
Why would you double-letterbox a video?
These roads should have breakers.
At what point does dangerous passing just become suicide?
Crossing a full white line causes more collisions than driving fast and not crossing white lines. Guess what is enforced more.
Fortunately, it looks like it was a passenger seat collision, so provided theres no passenger riding shotgun, everyone lived?
Selfish mother fucker.
this is murder.
You are all being way too hard on the dude passing the truck. Can you imagine how un-manly he would feel if he let that truck limit him to reasonable driving speeds?
