Thate video brought a few tears to my eyes. It also made me angry because of the complete disregard some drivers have for others on the road. Why people take these ridiculous risks to get from A to B are beyond me. ><
Thankfully, I've not been involved in anything too horrible. When I was younger, my mother was driving me and my brother home from a day out somewhere. We stopped at a set of lights just behind another car, which had an old couple in it. Then some guy rear-ended the back of our car, and sent us flying into the car infront, which then flew at the people crossing the road. No pedestrians were harmed, nor were the old couple infront (mum doesn't stop up people's asses, and our car took most of the blow). Only the convertible took the most damage - our... boot/trunk was a little messed up, but it was mainly cosmetic (we still drive the same car today). However... me and my brother were in quite a bit of shock, and my mum damaged her back, which forced her to have three months off of work.
I've also been hit by a car. I was staying at my aunt's house, and I offered to go to the shop for her. It's a quiet neighbourhood, so you'd think I'd have seen or heard the car car coming, but I didn't. It was a curved road with a small green in the middle of it, and I did look both ways before crossing. I got halfway, and all of a sudden a car comes out from a side road, speeding. I saw it about three seconds before impact. I heard them hit the breaks, but I still ended up on the bonnet. Nothing was broken, but I had a huge bruise on the backs of my legs, arms, back and a bump on my head, and it hurt to walk the next day. The guy who was driving was playing with the GPS from what I gathered from the woman with him, and told me off for not looking where I was going... and pointed out the dent I'd made in the car.
At least he stopped, but he was really rude.
