Speeding hurts

[kasatkin1000]

so let me guess the kid who was riding on the bike survived the hit from the driver

[zeonbub]

Was the windscreen made out of clingfilm?

[1RadicalOne]

What is with all these morons going on about how speeding, attention (eg phone), and seatbelt laws are all just a big scam by "the nanny state/NWO" to make money? Are they so f****** dense that they do not realize an 800-kilogram object moving at ninety kilometers an hour or more is LETHAL to anything it hits?

@1RadicalOne

because studies have shown that speeding accounts for the LEASE cause of accidents you fucking dipshit..

Example the reason the guy got fuckin destroyed in this video was driver inattention, the bike making an illegal lane change, and lastly the guy's reaction time. He would have mowed the fuck over going the speed limit regardless!!!!!! now go die

[1RadicalOne]

Studies? Cite them or I call you a liar.

@1RadicalOne

National Motor Vehicle Crash Causation Survey (U.S. Department of Transportation, 7/15/2008)

you can google that and read all about it :)

[1RadicalOne]

Ranging from the cause of 5 to 14 percent of crashes. Hardly insignificant, especially given the biggest causes are no more than 20 percent.

More, you have missed half the point - it is not just a cause for crashes, but it worsens the ones that do occur. Your vehicle carries kinetic energy as it moves. This energy is proportional to the square of the velocity. As such, a 30% speed increase - say, from 80 to 100 kph - translates to a 70% damage increase.

[squallz13]

@1RadicalOne

Where are you getting these figures??

Speed is 5% The biggest cause is 22% of driving off edge of road. That is HUGE difference man.. that is almost 5 times!!! 70% of damage increase from the 5% of accidents. who gives a fuck.. take into account the other 95% of accidents all together just due to bad driving.

[1RadicalOne]

Those are the laws of physics. As the formula goes, E_k = (mv^2)/2. See the v^2?.

[squallz13]

@1RadicalOne

I know the laws of physics stop beating a dead horse. I just proved to you quite logically as to why physics don't really matter in this type of situation.. Also if we were to take into account your physics logic. Vehicles that are heavier should not be travelling the same speed as lighter vehicles. You can't just pick one.. they are all factors according to you. Friction plays a factor so vehicles that have better tires?? Reaction time plays into it so people who have slower reac

[squallz13]

@1RadicalOne

also vehicles that can stop that have better braking again according to your logic.. give me a break. fml

You can't apply physics logic to it. Accidents are caused by stupid fucking drivers 95% of the time. If you are going to harp on speed you have to harp on all the other factors. IF we are going to talk about factors then look at what causes 95% of accidents that is by far the LARGEST factor so suck it

[1RadicalOne]

I am not talking about causing accidents - though there is the fact, which I am sure you do recognize, that reaction times must get faster as speed increases - but about the amount of damage done once a collision takes place.

I see no way how the formula for kinetic energy - derived from an integration of Newton's second law, look it up - says anything about brakes besides the fact that they must work HARDER to stop a faster vehicle, which only serves my point.

[squallz13]

@1RadicalOne

Omg.. you are a tool.

Factors involved in the physical realm of your point. Friction, reaction time, mass, and velocity.

FRICTION=BRAKES & TIRES

R/T= DRIVER ABILITY

MASS=Weight of vehicle

velocity is only one factor. therefore the others must be taken into account you can't just pick one...

[squallz13]

I'll try and give you an example as you can't seem to wrap your small brain around this one.

We are being attacked by a missile. The faster that missile goes the more damage it will do yes.

However lets say in order for that missile to do actual damage it must be accurate. Therefore 95% of the time accuracy causes damage.. the other 5% is from the velocity. Do you get my point? You would be more worried about changing the accuracy of the missile than the velocity.

[squallz13]

PLUS there are other factors in the amount of damage the missile does besides it velocity.. it's mass.. the amount of explosive power.... you can' just pick on speed.

[squallz13]

Plus you are talking about something that can't overly be measured. That exta 5-10km does how much more damage exactly?? You are mainly worried about how much more paint and how much more damage is done to a vehicle usually in a rear ending situation... not much difference the bumper is always going to have to be replaced.

[1RadicalOne]

No, there is a maximum amount of energy that can realistically be absorbed by the frame of the car. The rest goes into the passenger cabin.

As for how the damage manifests, besides the obvious fact that it always manifests as deformation of objects (car and passengers), the exact nature varies from collision to collision - car make, angle, and a thousand other factors determine what takes the brunt of the impact and how it reacts.

[squallz13]

@1RadicalOne

right as i said before.. and most people who speed are going 10-20km over so you are saying that extra 10km is always going to cause death or a significant more amount of damage which is negligible when you compared it to the accident never happening in the first place.

[JDMnubi]

You wish you could just rewind that shit after hitting someone.

[sociopathicregret]

Stupid ad. There is nothing wrong with exceeding the posted limit if the limit is too low for conditions. Well, except that the misinformed police and nanny state will get you for it. Driving too fast for conditions is whats wrong.

[jaffacake1578]

this isn't about speeding...it's about paying attention to the road!!!

[calumwearsarolex]

actually it is... if he wasnt speeing there would be less impact and also he might be able to react quicker... just a thought :)

[jaffacake1578]

well...it's more to do with the fact that he wasn't paying attention.

[jaffacake1578]

1 the guy should wear a helmet

2 its impossible for a pedestrian to break through the wind screen

[oceansprinter]

it's very posible depending on the weight and speed and without a helmet there is a 99.99% chance the person would be dead with a helmet if they went trough the windscreen theres a greater chance of surviving seriuous head truama but he still probably would die

[jaffacake1578]

nope you are incorrect with a helmet 30-40 percent chance of surviving also you cant go through a windscreen.

[goldbullet50]

@jaffacake1578 you are really stupid

[260KPH]

Whats this bullshit?

[TerefallProductions]

fail

[Chippychops7]

you are

[TerefallProductions]

i sure am, kid

[Chippychops7]

mmm, cuz i post halo videos

[TerefallProductions]

yeah man, that is the sole reason of the account.

idiot.

[TerefallProductions]

good for you.

[eschatos91]

as a driver you have to sharpen up when kids are around and certainly not speed up. kids can and will do wrong judgements at some time. what this safety ad is all about is that the driver was going to fast over the speed limit, and it could have been avoided, or the kid would at least survive from that crash.

The music is from "the lucky one" with Alison Krauss!

[jiye86]

what is the song's name ?

[dodgydogman]

great animation tho...

[hunterthompsonfear]

No helmet on the cyclist either.....

[TinkerMitski]

not speed indeed but its a great video though

[kcn0113]

that's weird....sure it's good to go the speed limit and keep your eyes on the road, but the cyclist seems to have pulled out DIRECTLY in front of him...he might not have had much of a chance.

the cyclist seems partially at fault here, too.

[ilikevideos9]

r u talkin about the drug speed cus thats wats more than likely the case here by the way i like the face he pulled half way through

[andwag1001]

This is such a load of crap. "speeding hurts" indeed. Where does it show that the driver is speeding?

Typical of the anti-car lobby. Blame speed for everything.

How about blaming the fact that the driver was fiddling with his radio and the fact that the cyclist pulled out directly in front of a car. Nah, too easy. Let's just blame speed.

[Havgry]

Morron. It's a Danish commercial made by Duckling A/S and the text says "I drove no faster than anyone else... But I drove too fast. Speed kills."

[smeggyhead]

Let's review:the driver was fiddling with the radio controls, the cyclist pulls in front of a vehicle without first checking - and there's absolutely no indication of the driver speeding. This is exactly the kind of advert I expect from those who are truly speed obsessed.

Interestingly, the vehicle is clearly seen going forwards in 3 shots :c)

[parrotofdoom]

How does speeding hurt? Perhaps 'inattention hurts' and 'poor cyclist positioning hurts' don't quite sound so catchy?

Speeding has nothing to do with that accident.

[shark12783]

Thats a tubbish advert, the cause of the accident was fiddling with his bloody radio! It's this kind of brainwashing idiocy that makes crap drivers....

[tregaskis]

good shot mate

[fizm]

Makes a great point; slow the fuck down and keep your eyes on the road!!

[artlover]

i wonder how they filmed this...

[Havgry]

It's partly computer animated: ww w. kin ovox. dk/pi csweb/duc kling _tra fik. jpg (remove all spaces)

[babushka]

that's real cool! you can learn from that.
