  • The Truth

    That ad was the truth. Even if he was a actor you feel for him or anyone that had to experience it.

    • nz all the way!

      hi im from new zealand and this ad screens all the time nearly every ad break! but in wellington sumtimes we make fun of it because of his lack enthusiasm and the fact that he mumbles and we can't understand him.... infact the only thing he seems to not understand is english itself!

    • not really

      so some one died. big deal people die every day. you know how many people die getting crabs, or mining. Do you think that means i am going to stop eating crabs or use less power. nope just makes the crab legs tast better.
      We have currently have more people then the earth can support without using geneticly altered food sorces and fertlizers.
      We have way more people born ever year then die.
      No seeing the problem.
      And i would say it's his dads fault the mom died, if a speeder comes over the line they usaly are heading right at the drivers side, but the natural reaction is to move yourself away. Most drivers swerve so that the passenger side gets most the damage. Note the passenger died.

    • No Idea...

      Mr. thatoneguy. You speak as though you know everything about how this crash happened, why the boy's mother died, why that's not a bad thing, and all there is to know about life itself. When, infact, you don't know jack. People mining, fishiing, and getting crabs die because of the inherent dangers of the job, not because of some irresponsible idiot's reckless driving on our public roads. It is a fact that innocent people are killed on the roads, at work, all over the world, but most of these tragedies are avoidable, if only people took resposibility for their actions and respected life more. Your claim that the Earth cannot support the current population without genetically altered food is bogus. The limiting factor for naturally grown food supply is not the Earth, but rather our selfishness. There is enough farmable land, water, and sunlight to efficiently grow food naturally for entire population several times over. However, the powerful countries want more power, the big businesses want to get bigger, the rich people want to get richer. Very few people are willing to help those less fortunate, if it means giving up something for themselves. Greed, my friends, greed. The rich get fat, while the poor die of hunger. We are sick, have been sick for a long time, and we are getting sicker. The state of our Earth is a reflection of us. Like the proverb 'one with a healthy mind has a healthy body. We humans are collectively the mind, and the Earth is our body. It would take six billion good and truly selfless deeds to create the good will and friendship required to start the process of healing. Imagine a world where good will outweighs money. A world with no need for armies or massive military budgets. Imagine how many people could be fed with naturally grown food using the United States' military budget alone! It would take so little for every person strong enough to help the less fortunate people, for every wealthy country to give an honest hand to those countries still struggling. F*#K 'food for oil'... An honest hand means just 'food for friendship, food for humanity'. It is within all of us, but we all think we are trapped, powerless, too insignificant to make a difference, living in the squares that our governments, our societies, and even our cultures have defined for us. When did humans become so inhuman? When did freedom become so restricted? You are right. We all die. However, the importance lies in how you live, not when or how you die. We can all live exciting and adventurous lives, and we are all able to help someone, but we need to respect the lives of those around us. Driving recklessly is like disrespecting every other person on the road, whether they be a stranger, a friend, or a family member. Take personal risks doing what ever you like, but no one has the right to put someone else's life at risk.

    • wow

      You sound like a clueless hippy.

      Check this out sharing does not work. That is why the USSR fell, and why china has to be so careful with information and has become very close to capitalist. Socialism and communism look all fine and dandy on paper but they don’t work. There is no motivation in them. Also socialism seriously reduces economic flexibility.

      Also I am not going to feel bad about people I don't know dieing until the death rate gets to the birth rate. You can cry about them as much as you want, but I guess you will never stop crying since several people are murdered and killed by other senseless acts every minute.

    • i get it

      but I really don't care that irresponsible people kill other people. We have too many people anyway.

      If you stop the irresponsible breeding and life saving then i will start a campaign to stop the irresponsible killings. I think we can all look at the numbers and see which end has the bigger problem right now.

      every one i love is going to die. I am going to die as well. Everyone dies. It is sad but it is the way the world works. I wouldn't stop it if i could either. No death mean either you can have no kids or the world would become overpopulted to the point you wish you were dead.

  • compassion

    i hope someday your thrown on the street by someone with no compassion and capitalistic views like your self, only then at rock bottom you well realoze that compassion towards one another is the only way to make every one happy, sharing wealth being truely marcist is the only way to utopia. capitlism allows the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer.

    • well...

      some said is because the law of energy transmision or something like that: the personn going faster has more energy transmited to the one going slower and therefor the impact while still big is not that big, it also has to do with the masses (more weight more energy) and which car are you driving, if you smash one car with impact absortion and airbags allround against a 60's fiat, well...
      But ofcourse they coud be wrong
      By the way, In germany they have highways with no speed limit and it'S a country a bit smaller in sq. km. than spain but with more than twice it's population but there are way less mortal accidents... so is it really speed that kills?

          Only if you have been directly affected by the death of a Loved One do U really understand what this ad is all about and the message it is trying to get a cross.

          What happened to the 17 year old???

            A dog runs out, a guy/girl pulls out from a side turn, a member of our wildlife community decides to be road kill.......What then! Well the natural instinct is to AVOID Which usually means crossing into th opposite lane.....gowing slower would you still kill....Think about it...Who cares if "YOU KNOW THE ROAD" It doesnt know you.

                    • good ad

                      i argee with most posts in some ways,
                      the VR6 post- some cars are made to go faster and handle at speed. that says nothing about driver skill or other traffic on the road.
                      i have a cossie (only about 250BHP) i love going fast, but i only do it when it is as safe as it can be, i only use good tyres and will only drive fast on roads i know well(for risk pot holes know slippery areas,ect) and only when there is nothing around incuding not housing areas.
                      i do see your point. if you can drive well then its not that bigger deal as long as you dont get a muppet cut you up or something

                      and to the paramedic. speed does kill! BUT its the fact that poeple are to busy with there important selfs to worry about the risks of driving, thinking about work,home,ect plus driving skills. (in the uk) it's getting bad, jumping lanes just cos they are the most important thing on the road and cant/dont drive as they should, is the biggest problem not the speed they are doing (though the slower they are moving the less damage should be done) also driving fast in cars that was not meant to go fast is another killer (sup't up engines on cars that can't hold the road)plus cars not maintained or using cheap parts. like tyres you can have the best handling car in the world, put a set of crap tyres on it and see how it does!.
                      i think that the law on tyres should be increased over here my tyres cost me around £70-£140 for a good tyre yet there is no law on me getting the rubbish ones for £30-£50. tyres are the ONLY thing has contact with the road for ALL motor vehicles!!! this should be one of the strongest laws on motoring(well apart from driving properly of course)

                      oh and this ad happened to my family! though it was my sister in the car on her own and she lived, though she had to be cut out the car and EVERYONE from police to the firemen and witnesses said that she should not have walked away from that one.
                      i thank god that she did!

                      • I agree with you

                        I do speed but never in and out of traffic, I always use my signal, I keep the phone in my pocket, look for my 2 wheeled friends. I check all my mirrors abut every 10 sec even if I am the only person on the road. I have had not seen cars right infront of me before because of my blind spot. The accident in this video was not caused by speed, it was caused by him not being able to maintain control and crossed the center line. If he had been trained better he would know what his car can handle at what speeds. Speed is always the blame.
