I have to share this horrible new here about one car accident. I just heard that my friend's girlfriend have been in car accident. My friend told me that he was just going to his another friend and he saw his girlfriend driving with moped. Suddenly someone car driver came up and just turned in front of that girl against traffic regulations. Girl crashed to that car's back and she flew to the ground and moped went in to pieces (even though speed was only about 45). Car driver stopped and was in a car for a while. Then that my friend ran there and that car driver started running away from there! My friend called ambulance and later they found that car driver too. I heard that girl got two fracture and concussion. I want this to be wake-up for them who doesn't really pay enough attention in traffic. Also watch this touching video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wkv1hv-HeQI

That is scary. I am just learning how to drive and I still really got nervous while on the wheel. There's too much things to remember. Everybody should be a responsible driver. Things like that could have been prevented if all drivers don't drink while driving or be responsible enough to think that life can be a sacrfice by just beeing reckless. I agree what some people said that no matter how safe driver you are, it only takes one stupid person to have an accident. This is a good discussion to educate some people who probably forgot what they studied while taking a learners permit or those people who don't apply what they learn on being a safe driver.

I agree with always slowing down on intersections because even though you have the right of way, you don't know that the driver that's coming out from the intersection is drunk or not.

True but I wouldn't blame only new generation because what I know two accidents with car and moped both were car drivers fault and moped drivers were just driving by road rules. I would just highlight that everyone should PAY ATTENTION. Not speaking on phone while driving etc.

Sometimes no matter how responsible you drive when other drivers are reckless, the problem begins.
I have seen many accidents wherein the victims are the innocent ones.
When a reckless speeding driver behind smashed the car in front- or a speeding vehicle overtake the other.
Yes, every drivers must be aware that life on the road is always in danger.
So, drive safely and carefully.

Yeah! Car accident always happen in our life. Every day we heard bad news from TV, papers and so on. And many of them is out of disobserving traffic regulations. And many people drive after a heavy drink. That's terrible. Because once a accident happened, it not only hurt the victims, also yourself. Many people lose their life owing to irresponsible driver and it's real tradgedy. So i think it's very necessary to make and carry out some effective and strict traffic rules. So the driver can be more careful when driving. Hope we can decrease the misfortune later.

This is a really good topic for discussion. I think everyone who drives should learn to be a defensive driver. That means not only paying attention to your driving but to well aware of how the other drivers on the road are behaving.
It used to be people putting on makeup, or readying while driving, now its texting. Any habit that takes your eyes off the road is a distraction and we all need to pay better attention.
