Default Driving fast

I know I tend to do it sometimes, but here's a touching video as to why NOT to do it. Hope some of these clips reverberate in your memory next time you're out on public roads driving too fast.

The video is about driving fast. As a result you don't have time to react, especially when not paying attention. Watch it again.

People not paying attention is the BIGGEST problem...and people walking out into the street. Just yesterday, 4 African American teenagers wearing dark clothes ran across a busy street, AT NIGHT and during Christmas rush hour. Luckily the car in front of me was going BELOW the speed limit and slammed on her brakes, the kids made it across laughing. If it was me, I would have hit them because I would have been going the speed limit....Natural selection, right? j/k

^It's 100x worse in real life.

The saddest thing I've seen, was when I was on a ride-a-long with CSI officer, and a drunk driver in a truck ran a red light and t-boned a mini van. All three children were ejected from the vehicle. Upon arriving at the scene, the children lay motionless on the street...it started to rain during the traffic investigation which made things even more depressing. Nothing was said at teh scene for hours, except me yelling at drivers not paying attention to the flares and my directions, ugh! One driver almost ran me over because he was insistent on using the main street to get home.

That was possibly one of the saddest things i've ever watched. Makes me ill

I used to speed alot and then got a ticket for it, that was my "lesson" and have been driving properly since. I'm always afraid of my girlfriend getting hit by someone driving stupid so this video hit me.

On a nice and light note, I'm glad a tC wasn't featured in this little film. Of course there was Civic though.
