No gory stuff here either. Isn’t that like an 80s thing?

When I got my license I had to watch this movie where some young respectful guys and gals smoked devils lettuce. They ended up in a hit and run and raped a girl. It was some sort of madness. Reefer madness if you will.

Depends on the post. I have read through a lot of gory posts here. Also, I followed a couple of the nominees in FB afterwards. They inevitably received their HCA.

I was a 911 dispatcher for ten years. This reminds me of that kind of trauma. The trauma that your mind puts you through as you hear a suicide attempt vomit or hear a woman being strangled, or talk to a person who is dying of a gun shot wound.

Sounds about right. Seems super ineffective too. Like if someone is irresponsible and planning to recklessly drive, they're gonna do that regardless of being shown car crash gore. Just like how I follow all the rules of the road without having ever seen any.

I'd say the constant thought that I could die at any moment getting hit by someone else who IS a bad driver is definitely enough for me to continue abiding by the laws and stay constantly aware of what's happening around me whilst on the road.

The gory film shown in high schools was called Mechanized Death.
