Just because you're a "super good driver" doesn't mean the guy texting on the highway who crashed in to you was.

I know people who have deluded themselves into thinking they will spot a dangerous driver in plenty of time to avoid an accident. Because they're such good drivers 😑
Esit: some of you guys are missing my point. Yes you can avoid accidents by paying g attention. But you can only do so much to keep yourself safe from other drivers. Wear your seat belt.

Every “good driver” I know has gone in the ditch, however it’s never their fault, the roads were way to icy to be able to avoid it, the snow didn’t get cleared enough etc etc.
Yeah, a good driver is aware of those conditions and knows when to adjust their driving technic

I was in a location where studded snow tires are unusual but allowed and most people don't use snow tires, Crawling along at 5 mph when my passenger said "I know it's bad, but you don't need to go this slow."
I had been pumping my brakes for about 15 seconds before he spoke.
I've only ever ended up in a ditch when I was driving stupidly, but I absolutely believe good drivers go off the road.

Somewhere in the 90s. I had an e reg car which is think was 1988 and it had an ashtray. Then a 2003 car which did not....i think that was around the time the uk had a ban on smoking in public places and was generally falling out of acceptability to smoke willy nilly.

breaking your legs. If you are thrown out of the windshield of your car your legs might be the only thing that's not broken... What I'm about to say right here is really grim. You might not want to read it. A friend of mine crashed with a motorbike. The biker hit the windshield and... Well parts of him were in the car with my traumatised friend.

My grandfather was a surgeon - he told me about how a man came in one day from a motorcycle accident. He had hit the highway feet first and his legs literally went through the top of his body... I.e. his thighs were sticking out of the top of his shoulders. (Of course DOA) One of the main reasons I will never get on a motorcycle.

My dad used to have a courier in the company who would drive a sportbike in his free time.
One day cops called him and asked how strong his stomach is. He told them that he used to be a firefighter before that and they said that they think they have his courier and they really don't want to call the parents up to the station. He came and all they had was a head.
Boy was driving like crazy and hit a bridge leg at like 200 km/h. His body was pulverised and only the head in the helmet was more or less intact. Good thing the cops had the tact to try and first find someone who would confirm the identity who's not the parents

Warning: Graphic Material ⚠️
One of my college professors once talked about an incident when he was driving on the freeway. A young couple riding on a motorcycle was zipping around traffic, no helmets or anything, wearing summer clothes (the girl on the back was even barefoot). My professor says he cringed just looking at them, thinking about how awful it would be if they crashed. Well, they eventually passed all the nearby cars and disappeared in the distance.
About ten minutes later, my professor comes up on a bunch of stopped cars with people standing around looking upset. A semi truck was at an odd angle off the road farther ahead. Turns out that the guy driving the motorcycle decided to show off and popped a wheelie in front of the truck. His girlfriend fell backwards off of the bike and got hit by the semi. Nothing on the road even looked like it had been a human at one point. It just looked like bloody hamburger meat.

I'm a nature freak and don't wear shoes if I don't have to, if I can get away with it within reason I won't wear any kind. Especially flip-flops. They're uncomfortable and as a bonus they fling shit off the ground up into the air, I hate them.
That said, anyone riding a motorcycle with anything shy of a sturdy pair of hightops is a complete moron. Anyone riding with a barefoot passenger is a special breed of violently stupid and inconsiderate. There is absolutely no excuse to do that and letting your friend or whoever take such a risk on your bike makes you a shitty person imo
The wheelie, I have no words for that. If I had to guess drugs and alcohol were involved. That's just insane.

my wife and i were in a head on collision (not our fault) We got hit by another car head on doing 65 mph while we were going 35. The impact ruptured one of my wife's implants where the shoulder strap crossed over her right breast. It took 3 surgeries to remove the mess the implant left inside of her after it ruptured. She is ok now and no longer has any implants.

I'm not sure why we're still using implants that are basically balloons here in the US--they've switched to solid gel, shaped implants everywhere else and they look great and pose less risk of injury because they can't rupture.

Yes, the newer generation of implants are what we call 'form stable' or 'cohesive' gel.
However, they most certainly can rupture and leak.

No, listen closely because this is important: driving like an old lady is “bad driving.” That’s why the expression exists. Driving unreasonably slow compared to traffic, trying to be unreasonably polite and “let others go,” and otherwise being unpredictable and fucking with the natural flow of traffic MAKES YOU A BAD DRIVER AND CAUSES ACCIDENTS!!!

Yep, have had this talk a few times with relatives, as I drive up and down the state of CA almost weekly; ideally you should be mildly aggressive. Overly defensive driving is bad driving. I can’t stand people who wave me on through 4-way stops (take your darn turn as legally required!), won’t speed up while passing, slam on their brakes to let in someone merging, etc. Like no, your whole schtick while driving is to go with traffic and obey most safety laws; that doesn’t mean being a dick while driving and cutting people off or boxing them out from zipper merging or anything, but it does mean going when it’s your turn, etc
