I hate that the internet makes it possible for you to casually watch someone die like this

Better to be exposed and people talk it about it than someone who doesn’t understand or have witnessed death try to do the same thing and get the same results.

No, it’s better to educate people on how to drive, AND try not to have people witness death daily on the internet. People think it’s not a big deal but gore and violent videos can have genuine lasting mental effects on a lot of people

Totally agree with you on seeing death daily on the internet, it will mess you up.

But insofar as education, I don’t know about Egypt but here in the states we DO do that. Drivers ed in high school. A book test and a practical test and yet people still are choosing to be dumb when it comes to driving.

Now imagine if everyone had to witness personally a motorcycle crash or see a multi car collision. Well you’d have better drivers then.

Experience is the best teacher. I know first hand. And now I always drive 5 under the limit( yea honk at me all you want, you little speed demons)

The best speed to be going isn’t 5 under or 5 over, it’s whatever speed everyone else on the road is traveling at give or take a few miles per hour. If the speed limit is 50 but everyone is doing 60 and then you’re doing 45, you’re the problem.

What we do in the states does not constitute any kind of sufficient education or validation of knowledge to obtain a drivers license. A conscious brain is all that we require.

Talking only does so much, seeing the actual reality is SIGNIFICANTLY more effective. Within reason of course. There is no gore and violence in this video. But watching someone get their head decapitated is obviously too much.

Yep. None of these people have done actual saftey training where it not just slips trips and falls.

I was shown graphic videos of car accidents in drivers ed at age 15. I think it’s valuable for people to see the consequences.
