A video I think you guys should watch - warning: graphic

Before I post the video up, it is pretty graphic. However, I see these types of accidents very frequently and usually, the patient does not make it. I hope that this will shed some light on how not paying attention while driving can be very dangerous.

There are some here that feel they are immortal (the vincenzo guy, etc.)

Good View, Sometimes Graphic is what gets it. I've seen many very bad crashes myself, and been involved in one myself. I understand why my parents insisted I drive a safe vehicle because sometimes you can't avoid accidents.

The "mobile phone while crossing the street" is a TERRIBLE pet peeve of mine. This is more irritating on campus because I'm sailing down on my bike and some dipsh*t just steps off the sidewalk because "everyone will stop for her" :

that was rediculous...although I think showboating and intelligent speeding are two completely different things

woooow.

I agree that there is a difference though, between going 80 on the interstate and being stupid in town, but wow. A similar wreck (one lane passing) happened up here, more than once. Not a sight you ever want to see.
