Nothing hit me more in this video than the image of the semi-truck hitting the jeep in the middle of an intersection. From multiple experiences, I have know what it is like the feel the crunking and impact of another vehicle hitting your car. I did not die in my encounters like the one in this video, but I have felt the effects of accidents. Many people in this world have either been in an accident or know someone that was in it.
Out of every 4 people that are involved in an accident, at least one dies every hour according to ezinearticles.com. This statistic is alarming, especially since I have been that person more than once, and I lived. There are several ways to prevent car accidents. Seat belts, driving defensively, and driving safely. Negligent driving was the cause of the accident in this video. I have been pulled over for a red light, and I was lucky to not get hit. We are not aware of our surroundings and are busy either thinking of other things, texting on phones, or reaching for things. Negligent driving may mean the little things, but its these things that can result in the worst deaths.
I chose a random picture of two smashed cars because I think people needed to see how bad car accidents can really get. Although this picture is one that is considered not so bad, it still shows the damage car accidents can leave. The damage isn't only to the car. It can be to the driver in injuries and to the families if the accident involves death. In this video, the accident of the boy greatly affects the girl that she is too distracted to drive. Her death would have affected her boyfriend had he been alive. This video just tells us that we need to take care of ourselves, or we may hurt the people around us.
