Unsafe Driving...

You just can't see that when you open your mouth, you can't help but make everyone think you are a brainless fool those were your words fixit and thats exactly what i was thinking everytime i read your post this isnt a sexist or racest vid if you look up car crashes on any video site 90% of the ones that you can see the driver the driver is male and out of those 90% are white and thats what these producers did they took vid clips from all over the net and made this video. and if you were right about if they were all female then yea there would be a lot more idiots like you complaining and not getting the right message, the points not whos driving its how people drive and to STAY ALERT AND DRIVE SAFE i hope your not old enough to drive yet fixit from reading your post id say your about 14 EVERYONE FLAG FIXIT POST WITH A THUMBS DOWN hes violating the terms it says it right under the comment box "no racist or defamatory statements"

I am a bus driver at a major transportation company in washington state, I would really appreciate the use of this video for our safety training program, as it really shines the light on the fact that you should never get behind the wheel without being able to fully understand the simple fact that you are driving a motor vehicle capable of causing great harm and or death. If you do not pay full attention behind the wheel,and you do not look ahead, around and behind your vehicle every few seconds, you are not getting the big picture and you may be the cause of what you just viewed in this very important video. Acting scenes or not, it got peoples attention,enuf said! thank you for sharing this with all of us!

Not to diminish the message, but with all the obvious real footage they had, why stage so many of the accidents? Would've been a lot more powerful if they hadn't included the ones with the actors. Pulls you out of the reality too much.

Of the long videos - 9 of them are from commercial campaigns put out by the TAC (Traffic Accident Commission) in Australia. The montage would be 80% from this same authority.
At various times these campaigns have targeted road rage, recklessness, speeding, drink driving, talking on the phone while driving, driving under the influence of drugs, etc. Ads addressing some of those issues are included in the montage but the editing doesn't show it.
A lot of the main clips used in this video date back to around the 20 year mark. In Australia there weren't as many women driving then and whenever you would get a family in the car it would always be the man driving. Pretty much as it is today in this country. The montage is a combination of new and old ads.
A new campaign is launched every few years and the more recent ones feature a lot more women drivers. Those ones however, do not serve the purpose of the maker's message.
I believe that the maker of this video has tried to give a different focus here. We are all aware of the dangers of alcohol, drugs and other factors. He/she has tried to show how easy it is to be distracted, get a bit impatient or just not think of general safety when driving. He/she has tried to show that everyday people can cause catastrophic events by seemingly minor actions.
I hope that this will put all the arguments to rest and you can now watch the video and get the message that was intended.

I see the guys so worried about what our subconcious might be telling us about the 'evil white men' in this clip. I feel sorry that this is what is focused on . Did anyone notice that a few of the injuries could have been prevented by seatbelts? The infant was held by the mother instead of putting him/her in the carseat right next to the mom. Dad just smiles, and starts driving even though he himself could have insisted on the carseat and refused to go until it was utilized. Does that mean that the message is supposed to be that all parents with infants are negligent?? I do not think so. In on of the shots, it shows a child sitting in the back of a hatchback also not in a seat, or seatbelt. A large ammount of the 'real' ones show that pedestrians and innocent bystanders are often injured just because of wrong place/wrong time. My first car accident was when I was 26yrs old. I was distracted by worries of running late, rain, and missing my turn. Thank GOD no one was injured. Both of my kids, then 8 and 6 were in the vehicle. I have had only one other accident since then, two years later and that was due to a drunk driver blowing a 0.24 BAC. He didn't even know what happened. I was lucky to walk away with only permanant damage to both knees. This clip may show male actors as the agressors, but quite honestly I did not notice until I read the comments and watched again. My focus was on the actual behavior of the drivers, and the sadness of all of the damage to all of the survivors - wheather it was their fault or not.

I would just like to put across a very simple message. God forbid, anything even close to this happens to us or anyone for that matter. But if it does and someone ends up losing their life for a mistake you have done because of 'YOU' not driving carefully! Do you think you can ever forgive yourself for it??? Do you think the guilt will ever let go of you till you die??

Please be careful while driving. You have no right to endanger the lives of others or yourselves just because you are running late for something and you to make it on time or for that matter for the thrill of speed or the urge to be living on the edge. God Bless us all and keep us safe!!

As someone who knows first hand how stupid people can be when they drive...my sister died almost 6 yrs ago in a car wreak she was 25 and left behind 4 beautiful children and a husband not to mention all those that loved and cared about her. The acting in this video maybe over the top or unreal or what ever you may think of it but the truth of the matter is there are people out there every day that die in almost the same way. my sister being one of them. no matter what the acting or what you may think about the music or what you may think about the camera angle the one thing you need to stop and think about is the message that it sends. Drive carefully because you may just be hurting or killing someones father,mother,sister,brother,son,daughter or any other family member. think of how you would feel if it was someone you loved and cared about. THINK BEFORE YOU DRIVE!!!!!!

I tried to download it with DownloadHelper but the program doesn't seem to be working well....could someone please send me the video at:

storm_owl@hotmail.com

thank you!

is there a way to download this video? Id like to keep this one...I believe its important

There are many videos that are fakes ! >:D

It's a sad fact that although these clips may be old, they are still relevant; I have witnessed the results of a local woman to us assuming that the country lane was clear - it was carnage. This video should be compulsory viewing with questions as part of the driving test. It may be unpleasant to watch but is nothing to the noise, smell and hopelessness of the reality of death or serious injury caused by a moments loss on concentration, or a “just get out of my way” moment

Is there a way to download this video to my computer? Thanks

sure reminds me of in 1991 when a drunk driver hit my car and i have suffered thru now 29 surgeries to get back to sorta normal again, i now have steel rods in my lower back where the doctors had to remove 5 disk, and i have had 9 arthroscopic knee surgeries and a total right knee replacement, and now i have seizures from it, i will be permanently disabled, in 1991 i was only a few months shy of graduating as an RN in college, and a 16yr old kid hit my car and spun my car completely around slamming both my knees into my dash, and crushing 3 disk in my neck and 4 disk in my lower back where crushed, i am lucky thru all my surgeries i can walk now. i am a single mother with 3 sons, my sons are 9, 11, 21 yrs old now, but back when i had the accident my oldest son was only a few years old thankfully he wasnt in the car with me that day the drunk driver hit me, i was in my car by myself as i was heading back to college in my nursing whites from having done clinicals that day and i was going back to pick up some of my books but i never made it to the college instead a drunk driver hit my car completely devasting my life back then. So please drive safetly everyone please as it doesnt just affect the injured person it affects their whole family. As i would have been a nurse making good money if the accident had not happened now i am a low income single mother on disability barely able to make ends meet .

i lost my son September 2009 he was 17and a half yrs
he was knocked down and killed by a uninsured driver
it has left a void in not only my life but his sister and brothers lives too Let alone the rest of the family he was about to finish his a levels and had passed his driving test first time was insistent on doing his advanced driving and be a responsible driver.
people please when you see this video just slow down and realise that next time it could be or anyone of your family. PLEASE TAKE TIME TO GET WHERE YOUR GOING ON YOUR JOURNEY AND MAKE TIME FOR YOURS AND EVERYBODY ELSE'S LIVES.WE ARE ALL SO LUCKY TO HAVE OUR LIVES SO PLEASE DON'T WASTE THEM OR ANYONE ELSE'S.

could someone tell me how to download this video? If I could show this to my Soldiers and the young students I deal with I think it could have a HUGE impact...

I have watched this a number of times.....and never once did I even think about "who" was driving until I read the previous comments. I would not have noticed even if it were women. Either way.....this video has a strong message and it SHOULD be shown in Drivers Ed and in the drivers courses you can take when you get a ticket (like in AZ). I'd like to see a new video that does show cell phone & texting scenes as well as road rage and I don't care if it's men or women driving or the color of their skin. The message is loud and clear...Careless drivers KILL people!

Most of the staged clips are from TV adverts shown regularly in Northern Ireland over the years. They aren't racist or sexist they are targeted towards boy racers who in this country are responsible for most fatal accidents. We have many disturbing adverts here, which aren't shown in the rest of the UK unfortunately.

If you can't shut your mind up long enough to get the point of this video, then you're precisely the type of person that can't shut their mind up long enough to pay attention while you're driving. Think about that one.

This video touches everyone’s heart.. especially the driver’s… u know what I mean!
Many scenes may be staged but we know purpose of this video is to wake us up. Reminding us to be responsible drivers.
Innocent people and loved ones.. you can't undo this mistake! My eyes watery watching this video..

Thank you for this video. We have way too many selfish and reckless drivers among us who all need to see this video and realize that saving a few seconds may cost them a lifetime of anguish, sorrow, and lawsuits. They also need to take a physics course to better understand just how dangerous motorized vehicles can be as weapons of mass destruction.

Can anyone send me the file or link where i can download this clipping in avi, mp3 formats to my desktop.
Thank you

I don't know ANYONE who couldn't possibly be moved in some way by these videos with males or females driving...who gives a rats ass! Human beings with feelings, that's what MOST of us are. Woman are probably moved more so, but come on, everyone in the world should be moved by these important MESSAGE videos. Besides Car insurance is MORE for male 16-25!
These videos are being made for a reason and it's not for propaganda! WAKE UP people and put your damn cell phones away and stop texting as well! AND, if you have to eat that freakin cheeseburger, STOP and eat if before you get back in the car. That, along with stereos that are blasting so loud in your car that you can't hear the ambulance or police cars needing to go through lights!! AND not to forget that people just don't pull over to the right anymore and when they do, the first person to leap out on the road is the guy in the back and almost causes an accident. Come on, seems we are all getting dumber and dumber, and driving faster and faster cars! Sympathy for the reality brother!!

Anyone find a link to this video with a better resolution?
Thanks

Hey there. I coordinate a program known as TEENS in Melbourne, Australia. Is there nay chance like Carteen that we could use this clip in the program? We will acknowledge the owner according to copy right requirements. This would be ideal for the program. Again would love to use it.

i m moved really moved, i m crying right now.........

HI my Name is Caitlin and I run a program for first time juvenile traffic offenders called Carteens. I was wondering if I could have your permission to put this video on a C.D and show it in class. I think it would be benifical to the class. It would help reiterate what we say about distractions and safe driving.
Thank you,
Caitlin

Does anyone know how I could download this to my desktop? Any help would be appreciated,,,thank you!

This movie was the saddest thing i have ever seen. What the hell do people think when they drive that nothing bad will happen. I have two kids and i just scares me that some idiot will hit us. Everyone in the world should me made to see this. EVERYONE.

This is the best vidoe i have seen in some time would love to be abel to get a copy of it to show to kids that thank they know it all

I saw this video on my friend's Facebook page and it simply moved me to tears - especially for those children who were killed as a result of utterly reckless driving. It should be made compulsory viewing as part of the driving test.
Now posted on my own FB page. I urge everybody to share with as many friends as possible.

omg :(

If you have kids and you watch this video and it don't affect you then you shouldn't have kids, imaging that it was your child or someone you loved if this video don't affect you then you are just cold hearted.

This is soooo sad ,ive shared it with many now ,,got people talking

i would like to find information about the maker. can i get some help?

Where is this clip from? It looks like a PSA to warn people about putting their child in a safety seat. I'd like to see the full version of it, but I can't find it anywhere!

Automobile inventers wouldnt have brought these beautiful machines to life had they got to watch this :(

Was hoping to be able to download this...hmmm

this made me cry. this just show how ANYONE is in DANGER out there. Lord take mercy on us. may u protect us where ever we go.

I had to post this on my facebook page, if everyone would just slow down.

It's so sad! I hate that :'(

i cant help but to cry right now..:((

it is really moving

OMG :(

@12121973ful is he alright?

This was linked on a friends FaceBook wall and my 7 yr old saw a bit of this before i realised he'd come up behind me after i clicked it. My "friend" should have added some kind of warning but didnt... The vid should have some kind of warning itself. I now have to deal with my son's now expected nightmares tonight.

-100 points for inadequate warning messages when hotlinking

+100 points for getting the message across.

Anyone insensitive to stuff like this should just be removed from the planet.
