This belongs in Driver's Ed, that's why I put it here. (2 Minute Video)
 

Video: The most beautiful seatbelt advocacy commercial ever? — Autoblog

Excellent!!!!

Lovely, thanks for posting.

I must not be a 'real ' man, since I've now got some strange watery stuff dripping from my eyes now.
This commercial really makes you feel for those that have lost loved ones to accidents.

( Thinking of you right about now Phil )

Real men admit they have feelings. Men who try to hide them are still children waiting to grow up.

... the other thing that belongs in Drivers Ed is a "how to drive a manual car" video.

At my drivers ed they put the biggest emphasis on drunk driving, distacted driving, and seatbelts, except I watched a video that was a tad more graphic. Its those where they have the crash in slow motion, and the aftermath of the collision, and such. Pretty powerful. This is just, as the title says, a more beautiful video.

Way cool Vid!!!:thumbup:

Nice video.

A friend's teenager just attended driver-ed and said it included over an hour of videos showing dead bodies from drunk driving. Very graphical stuff, easily R rated.

They also said driver-ed included zero emergency response or evasive driving. I have heard great things about the BMW Street Survival class put on my local BMW clubs.

Great video, and I agree there needs to be an evasive driving section of drivers ed but there isn't one.


Those girls would have to have a grip from Hell to be able to do that!

I openly advocate a young start in autocross and moderate youth racing leagues/classes. If you start when it's fun, you'll know what to do when it's necessary.

Our friend has taken some first aid courses (his friend works in an ambulance crew) and showed us a few vids about why you shouldn't start driving until you, and your passengers, are all buckled up. Most of the videos were made in UK, and they were very drastic, but they really got you thinking.

I used to lie to my Mom about buckling my seat belt until I saw a horrible accident at age 8. Since then I've been a pain in the arse about seat belts to anyone who I'm riding with (not only when I'm driving).

One of the vids showed that even if you fastened your seat belt, then you are still at risk from the bodies of other passengers that didn't buckle up. It was titled something like "Getting to know each other closely", I can't find it now.

What I hate to see are little kids standing between the front seats in a moving car. I'd take the kid away from his parents and get them neutered for that. Risking your own life is one thing, risking the lives of others is unacceptable!

I agree. We cant let traction control and such de-sensitize us from the road. I, for one, am going to take my car out to the frozen lake once I get my license, and learn some evasive driving.

You're not really going to do what you need to do on a frozen lake.
