i decided we are missing one more dedicated thread

 

this thread is going to be alot of mixed emotions

 

yeah lets not laugh at those who lost their lifes in accidents... other than that i think its a good idea

 

Agreed but to all the Mensa members would didn't die

 

Peugeot 106 hahaha



Ferraris love poles or something

 

Ouch....almost hurts to look at.

 

oy-vey

 

Lower your car they said haha
This was in Istanbul

 

oh shit

 

^oh my god; that is just awful

 

Those idiots deserved what they got.

 

As I said in the other thread:

 

I vote all accidents involving death whether picture or video be removed. Very distasteful and nsfw.

 

The first to go should be the red 430. The 63yr old driver and the 15yr old passenger both passed.

 

How about we post the back story to the pic and not just the pic.. This way we can laugh at the retards that didnt die and still respect those that did pass all at once

 

I'm OK with stupid, silly or amusing vehicle crashes/wrecks where people are not hurt, but I don't think we need a thread documenting ways people can be killed in car wrecks-- leave that to the death and gore websites.

 

Some of these people deserve the Darwin award.

 

This isn't a bad solution.

I'm a bit torn on the discussion in this thread. I liked the idea of creating a separate "crash thread" and said so in the WTF thread. I did so under the belief that there had (AFAIK) never been any regular postings of gory (i.e. actual blood) crashes on this site. So, I voiced my initial opinion under that base assumption. That being said, I understand some of the sensitivity to viewing pictures of crashes in which individuals lost their lives. On the flip side, I'm not immediately comfortable with censoring for the sake of censoring.

So, all that being said, where do I stand at this point...firmly on the fence, it would seem.

 

I'm sure the mods will say keep it SFW, so no glory pics.

 

Wow, Think that poor guy in the 599 video had any thought his life would end when he was stopped at a traffic light & then it turned green.
The guy filming was one lucky dude.

 

I guess it went so fast it was tough to tell.. but it was the 599 that blew the red light. The driver died, passenger survived. He hit a taxi.. the taxi driver died (father of 3) including his fare, a 20 year old girl. 599 also hit into a motorcyclist who survived.. miraculously.

 

This prompted a thought (a miracle that I had a thought, I know) - a thread like this, if handled correctly, can be a good learning experience for car enthusiasts. A sobering reminder - respect the power of the vehicle and of physics.

For example, I'm currently wondering - Why in the hell, if you can afford a 599, you couldn't spend the time and money to learn how to drive the damn thing in a way that didn't result in needless injury and/or death?

 

Over confidence, is a real killer

 

The "What Not To Do When Driving a Car" Thread?

 

Yes! Can a mod please modify the thread title (with OP's permission of course)?

 

I drive very defensively, in an aggressive manor at times. When going through a major intersection like that, I always wait to see it clear on both sides before going or at least wait to see that traffic has acknowledged the red light (slow down). I also don't lead out.. I say.. if we have a thread for tits, then why not.. sobeit, as long as we treat the thread respectfully

..but we should have NSFW / Graphic warning on the title and it should be official with rules like no smashed in skulls, gore, etc.. I'm sure we've all seen it. I've seen it first hand.. I have a morbid curiosity but I wouldn't want to be browsing the thread and expose anyone else to it at work or at home, so I vote it being left out.

That, and the driver was Chinese.

 

Indeed. I am decisively ambivalent.

 

The driver of the M3 in the first picture lost his life.

 

I am OK with car crash vids/pics... I've seen worse in the Official Car Vid thread stickied in here (seriously, go through that thread, there are some brutal accidents in there. Arab drifting anyone?). For example, I'm actually OK with that Ferrari vid b/c you can't really see anything. Just a blur and part of the impact.

That said, anything showing any details of gruesome injuries or death, anything in detail, or anything like people being run over and killed or whatever, will be removed immediately. If it gets too off track.. the thread will be locked. And if anyone continuously posts those type of things, bans will be handed down.

Lastly... if there is too much cross-posting from the Official Vid thread or the Funny pic thread (or any other thread), we will just lock this topic b/c it will obvious it is not needed.

Fair enough?

I have edited the title for now to a more generic one based on the OP's title. If he is OK with any other edit, we can change it at that point.

 

Hopefully this doesn't get moved to Boat Talk.

 

^ That vid is hilarious.

 

just close the thread and call it a day...I probably wont even be coming in this thread. Why would i wanna see cars like this??

 

Anyone want to take a trip to the motherland?

 

 

 

edit: Removed that last one.. showed a truck running over a guy. No gore.. but he was road pizza for sure.

 

Im ok with change and i think we still need this kind of thread just to learn fron other people lack of luck or brain what not to do while driving so i guess i vote for change of the title thread... i never meant to make fun of those who lost their lives and i feel terrible watching some of these but you learn on that too... how to behave behind the wheel etc... whatever you guys think is appropriate

 

I know you didn't have malicious intentions. S'all good

 

"...censoring for the sake of censoring." ???

Show me the gore.
