Id bet you also trust a backup camera to keep yourself from hitting your own kids in your driveway.

      tanya faulkner People are easy to see until it’s dark outside and headlights blind you.
      Also , if the road has light poles , that makes it hard to see , if someone is standing in the dark.
      Also , as the narrator said in this video , your eyes are always focusing on movement, which makes it harder to spot people standing on the side of the road.
      Now , there are also multiple types of headlights , some offering better visibility and some only a couple meters.
      A lot goes in to play when talking about spotting anything on the road in the night , while someone’s headlight being the worst one.

    It's absolutely disgraceful that she struck a car hard enough to flip it and eject the driver, killing him, then fled the scene. She had to be tracked down and the judge says 90 days is appropriate? I just can't wrap my head around it....

      In most states in the U.S., hit and run involving injury or death is a felony. Even leaving a scene with injuries can be a prosecutable offense. She should have been convicted of manslaughter or negligent homicide at the very least. Having struck the other vehicle from behind would have also put the full responsibility of his injury and death on her shoulders alone. Fleeing the scene out of fear may have been a temporary moment of panic, but failing to report, and also attempting to hide, her involvement was intentional, cold, and calculated. Hopefully relatives of the deceased were able to file a civil suit against her for her reckless, selfish, and heartless actions.

      @Lorie Paix - I don't think you understood the results of this investigation. _She_ did not strike a car hard enough to flip it; she struck it _enough_ and in a right to left sweep, that it both relieved traction of the other vehicle's rear wheels and, altered the angle and momentum. Much as the police tactical maneuver (pit-maneuver) does and; the drift maneuver that's intentionally caused from using the rear-wheel parking brakes - applied to lock only the rear wheels in a skid and, the driver uses steering input to swing the rear out in the desired direction.
      Higher speed and cornering (there appeared to be a slight bend in this reconstruction) and wet roads - it actually takes surprising little force to cause this result and, the flip results from sliding at speed, side-ways perpendicular to the road.
      Also, the driver would not have been ejected (could easily have lived), had he been wearing his seat-belt (can't blame anyone else for that).
      She did flee the scene - the limbic system response, is a reasonable enough cause for that and; the continued fear and trepidation could rationalize not coming forward for a time (unless, she was hiding from driving impaired as well). I think that trying to cover-up the incident with repairs, is a true discredit to her morals and ethics and; inattentive driving, following too closely, speed for conditions, improper passing (all very common offenses). 90-days jail time and 1-year license suspension, is not all that unreasonable, otherwise.
      Nothing, will restore the death that resulted; I would think that the family of the deceased will seek further compensation, as they determine necessary.
      Take care-

      The worst part is not that she left the scene but that she tried to hide what she had done.
      The accident itself wasn't intentional, but everything after that certainly was.
      So, rationalize this any way you want, but the long and short of it is that a man died because of her behavior behind the wheel of a car.

      And, the family has the option of a civil suit, in addition to the criminal charges.
      I'm not being either glib nor callous about the loss and suffering yet: unless the culpable driver has a particular pathological brain defect, she will live with this incident, for the rest of her life, too.
      I don't know what you're intending to convince me of; you've otherwise basically repeated my conclusions, based on the ethical and moral aspects of her seeming attempt to hide the evidence - for all we know, she was so overcome and fearful, that she was trying to hide the incident from herself - who knows? I wasn't presented with the entirety of this case, were you? I didn't interview anyone in person, did you? NO-
      For a made for TV drama series, I thought this was pretty well done - leaving us to ponder and question all of the _known_ events leading up to the presented findings.
      It serves us better, a reminder that a moment of inattention, can cause a lifetime of results (including death).
      Our emotions _motivate_ us though, we must use our logical rationale to steer us, correctly.
      Also, we don't _know_ what her behavior behind the wheel was - we don't _know_ the condition of her vehicle, was it poorly maintained or, improperly repaired? Was she on the phone or texting, was she impaired by sleep-deprivation or, intoxicants - did she have an un-diagnosed medical condition - did she just leave an emotionally charged situation?

    20:00 Never assume the driver can see you. Make *SURE* they see you. Be so sure they see you that you are willing to bet your life on it, because that is what you are doing when you cross the street. You are betting your life the driver sees you. If you are wrong it doesn't matter who is at fault. You are dead either way.

      THIS!! I wish everyone paid attention and thought this way whilst crossing a street... even at a crosswalk. Never assume, just because you have the little, white, "it's safe to cross" guy flashing at you, as you cross at an intersection, that the people driving will be paying attention to you. And don't even get me started on jaywalking. My best friend was killed jaywalking across an 8 lane highway.. 25ft from a crosswalk.. when an elderly lady ran a red and hit her at approx. 60mph. A few years later, my daughter was a passenger in a car that hit another woman who was jaywalking across the same road, a few miles down. She died, as well, even though there was a Highway Patrol officer driving right behind the car my daughter was in, who witnessed the accident and provided as much medical help as he was capable of immediately. Cars vs peds never works out well for the pedestrian.

      I think the fact he appears to have been on his cellphone ( why else show it?) and wasn't wearing a seat belt , suggests that he was a contributory factor to the cause and result of the initial incident. I can assure you the panic mode can persist for days as panic changes to an unrelenting anxiety which occupies every living second. I know I drove away from a parking incident observed by many .people and hid my car in a car park whilst trying to get a grip on what had happened. Nobody was injured. fight, flight and fright. richard

    @mariekatherine5238 4 роки тому +8

    Disagree somewhat. There CAN be an accident in that nobody did anything wrong. Example: My sister was driving with my then 8 mo. old nephew strapped safely in his car seat. My sister had on her seatbelt, wasn't speeding, no cell phone, (there were none in 1978). A sinkhole suddenly opened up, no warning, no way of predicting such a thing, the area not geologically prone to sinkholes. She ended up with the car tipped on a 45° angle against the driver's side doors, suspended over the hole. Long story short, the next person to come along stopped, called 911 from a house. The rescue squad got them out safely, only minor injuries, bruises to my sister, nephew unhurt. He has no memory of the incident being too young. The car was totalled because the frame cracked. Turns out the sinkhole was caused by failure of a drainage pipe installed in the 1920s. Who was responsible? Long ago deceased people from a municipality that no longer existed. There was no way for anyone from the current municipality to know the pipe was there. The records had long ago vanished. This was a freak accident.

    • @Newjorciks
      @Newjorciks 4 роки тому +1

      Just because the people responsible are dead or if the records were lost doesn't mean that "nobody did anything wrong". It's possible that the drainage wasn't serviced or it should have been replaced or inspected at some point. If those weren't done because of someone losing the records about he drainage pipe then they are the main cause of the crash. Sure you won't find them, but that doesn't mean that no one did anything wrong or that no one is at fault.

    If we were willing to make getting and keeping a licence harder, and improve driver's training somewhat closer to what pilots get we could save so many lives.
    Any person who does something that proves they have very little (if any) good judgment then you should not be driving. Texting while driving and driving drunk are two things I think should cause your license to be revoked on a first offence.
    If you need to be told not to text and drive, you do not need to be driving.
    It may remove about 20% of all drivers, but it would be the worst, most dangerous 20% of drivers. If you are outside that bottom 20%, do you really want those people on the road with you? And if you are in that bottom 20%, you need to take some classes and work on improving your skill.
    As it is, that bottom 20% has no reason to improve.

    While yes delta v is kind of correct, a more accurate way to quantify forces in a crash is delta m, or change in momentum. Change in momentum is a more useful figure than change in velocity because it can be used to determine impulse - which is equal to change in momentum over time. Impulse is also equal to force times time, and is equal for crashes with identical parameters. They used the speed to get an idea of the forces involved, but like you could just... Y'know, calculate the forces involved. The math's not that bad. Like, if you're already calculating velocity it's not that much extra work to take the weight of the car(s) into account and get a much more useful number.
    Measuring change in speed can be useful, but because impulse is actually measured as momentum over time (not velocity over time as the show implied), the exact force could vary wildly depending on the weight of the objects involved in the collision. The amount of force it takes to reverse the direction of a bicyclist is wildly different from the amount of force it takes to reverse the direction of an eighteen wheeler.
    Nothing they said was super wrong, just not quite right

I’ve almost hit dumb kids jumping out on the street while I’m driving. Thank god I never drive fast enough to not be able to stop quick enough. Pedestrians should think about the trauma they will cause by walking out into traffic. They may lose their life and also cause trauma to the driver or drivers.
    I had a friend who was a UPS driver and he ran over 2 guys who were on 1 bike in traffic. A car hit them first and they were thrown directly in front of his truck. They lost their lives after being hit once and then being run over by a truck and 2 other cars. He had to go to therapy for over 2 years and couldn’t drive for even longer because it traumatized him so badly. He had nightmares for years.
    Also, why do people lie about hitting people or causing an accident? I’m so disappointed in the human race.

    The death of that other driver was not caused by the accident itself, it was ignoring the most basic safety procedure, his injuries were sustained from flying out the window.
    Hell, I hit and smashed in the back of a car turning in a driveway, just to avoid running over a mans young daughter on a scooter. He wrecked my license, and it cost me a fortune because I did what I thought was the right thing. I can see why people run, the consequences suck ass. I regret to this day not investing in a better dashcam. I paid 10,000 dollars for a man that got to walk away, get a nice vacation from work, and all with 900 dollars in damage to his vehicle. Bullshit of the highest caliber. I have no doubt she ran out on purpose, because he went slow, was on her phone, and rode out into the lane I was passing from. Had I had my cam working at the time, he faced criminal charges of:
    Wreckless Endangerment causing bodily harm.
    Criminal property damage.
    Child Endangerment
    This man without a doubt risked his child for an insurance scam, taking my grandfathers old car out of my family, all for 10,000. Honestly. The next time I am certain that is going on, and I don't have that evidence for whatever reason, I would consider bailing out.

You didn't intend to hurt someone, but you have to accept that your actions have resulted in a death and you know that yes you may not have intend it but there is a possibility that if you drive wrecklessly and/impaired it may result in a collision 💥 and because your fully aware of that fact it now should be murder....
