    if mandatory road tests were required every few years that would make a big difference, its people developing bad habits after they get their license that cause the problems, treating stop signs like a yield for starters

    I treat many stop signs like yields, to be honest. Stop signs on private property are almost never enforceable, because they aren't put in place by any traffic engineer, therefore they end up in pointless places.

    It is a hard video to watch, but accidents happen. Yeah, there are stupid people who make stupid choices behind the wheel, but the people who a video like this should target are the people who knowingly endanger themselves and more importantly others. Most of the accidents in this video appear to be honest mistakes by honest people...the scare tactics are unjust. Just my opinion...not trying to say this video doesn't have a good message, I just think the delivery could be better.



    And it is about 8 years old lol.

    I remember this video, very harsh reality of how jacked up and inconsiderate people are.

    Watching and seeing the intense stupidity annoys me because almost all of them were avoidable if the driver was actually paying a lick of attention.

    well...i drive like a bat out of hell, but usually under acceptable condiitons.

    but just the other night, i was in south memphis, again i say, south memphis (the HOOD where the idiots do what they want), and i was doing the speed limit around this curve at night, and there was these two guys just strolling in my lane. had to swerve to save their life. granted i said a few curse words, but all in all jesus saved their life hallelujah!

    but seriously, thats a hard video to watch, i just dont want the aggressive drivers to feel bad, sh*t happens all the time regardless.

    But the reality of it all is...it isn't always the drivers fault...people that walk against lights...don't pay attention...pedestrians can be in a hurry just like distracted drivers, therefore...I still find lots of MOOT.

    Aggressive driver's shouldn't feel bad for their stupidity, really?... If they drove defensively instead of like idiots, nevermind, useless argument lol. Opinions and like ass-holes, same spiel.

    I used to drive extremely aggressive but realizing of much of a imbecile I looked; I stopped. Unless some idiots decides to be just that, then heck, I subtly retaliate that endangers neither parter.

    I didn't necessarily blame all of them on motorists because I haven't really driven in an area where pedestrians are stupid. I have almost had a skinny redneck and his fat chick GF become a hood ornament on my friends Silverado because he felt it was necessary to drag her across the cross-walk on a NO WALK. Pedestrians and Motorists both can be incredibly stupid.

    Note most of it appears to be in the European like road conditions.

    Thus the target audience is not North American drivers.

    I cannot recall the country but in this country getting your license takes years of in car practice and training exercises.

    Unlike our system which is "You can read and write? Here you go."

    Nothing to train people to react correctly in emergency situations.
