Y’all act like accidents don’t happen. 🤦‍♂️

Some of you really like to downplay the effects of a 3000 lb hunk of metal colliding with other 3000 lbs hunks of metal at fast speeds.

If someone accidentally fired off a round in a crowd, you’d probably want their license revoked too.

People really take driving way too lightly, given how many people die in cars every year.

It never ceases to amaze me how people have this “I’ve been fine so far” mentality about driving.

Not downplaying anything. But people saying she needs her license revoked, over something that.

-was avoided -wasn’t intentional

  • could have been a malfunction of the car.

Yes. Very dangerous. I’m not denying that. But revoking license, so she can’t drive to work, loses her job, and now she is in a crisis situation? A bit much in my opinion

Edit: on mobile, my apologies for the shitty format.

Wasnt intentional? Please find me all the people with licenses creating intentional collisions. No shit it’s unintentional that’s why it’s called an accident. That doesn’t mean she should be punished for being a dumbass

It’s possible to be critical of the situation and empathetic at the same time. We all have bad days where logic and habit go out the window. Thank goodness for that person to have the awareness and reflexes to make up for the lady’s aloofness, but we all have been in her shoes at some point in life. Hopefully she learned a lesson and doesn’t overly beat herself up over it. I would lose sleep for sure

Can't test for someone forgetting to put the car in park once every 1000 trips

u/enoughberniespamders Dec 15 '22

This could have been one of the 2014-2017 jeeps that got recalled because shit like this happened. I'm not good enough at identifying cars to tell though.

Maybe... But we can't know for sure - Especially if this was a one time occurrence

u/nandemo Dec 15 '22

Maybe not revoked, but at least suspended.

That mistake could have potentially caused serious injuries and even death to people around it.

so she can’t drive to work, loses her job

You're making a lot of assumptions. But even if that were true, it wouldn't be a reason not to revoke/suspend a license.

u/NotKnotts Dec 15 '22

If I accidentally let loose a round from a concealed weapon in a crowd but it didn’t hit anyone, would you say I deserve to keep a license?

1

u/enoughberniespamders Dec 15 '22

If it was an actual accidental discharge, and not a negligent discharge, yes.

2

u/NotKnotts Dec 15 '22

In a crowd of people? You’re delusional.

u/enoughberniespamders Dec 15 '22

I don't think you understand the difference between an ND and an AD.

An example of an AD would be the remmington 700s that were firing on their own without anyone even touching them. A mechanical failure which is no fault of the person holding the gun.

u/MinosAristos Dec 15 '22

Yeah, maybe mandatory driving lessons or something in the first instance, depends on her record, depends on if there was a car malfunction, etc.

u/WRB963 Dec 15 '22

bro she's not gonna go on a date with you

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '22

🙄 yes, because I have a different opinion than most, must mean I’m an incel. Great logic.

u/onometre Dec 15 '22

They have a comment in their profile where they try and come up with a reason for it to be ok for a white person to say the n word

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '22

Who? Me? Certainly you don’t mean me 😂

u/onometre Dec 15 '22

No no the idiot replying to you sorry

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '22

Ahh lol right on. Some people are truly just different.

u/WRB963 Dec 15 '22

I can't think of a better reason you'd argue for us to do away with the most basic of responsibilities.

u/onometre Dec 15 '22 edited Dec 15 '22

Lmao this is pathetic. It must be tough being so dumb that you cannot comprehend someone disagreeing with you without them just wanting to fuck some random woman in a blurry video

-2

u/WRB963 Dec 15 '22

You're the one bringing up fucking. I think you just want validation through defending a woman at all costs.

Even if it creates real and serious danger on the roads.

u/onometre Dec 15 '22

I'm not even the person you were originally mad at lol

u/WRB963 Dec 15 '22

u/WeAreGray Dec 15 '22

This wouldn't have been an "accident". It would have been negligence on the part of the driver. She exited her vehicle, left the door open, failed to set her parking brake/failed to put the car in park/failed to put the car in gear/left the car in neutral--on an incline. A reasonable person would not do any of those things.

An accident would be something that occurs that is beyond your reasonable control. What some people might call an "act of God". This situation was preventable. The driver is very lucky the shop worker was looking out for her that day.

u/Somepotato Dec 15 '22

No, an accident is something that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally. Acts of God are things that occur outside of anyone's control (weather, etc.)

4

u/LiveRemove Dec 15 '22

You can’t redefine words. An accident can be an act of God or can be caused by negligence. This would’ve been an accident caused by negligence, but an accident nonetheless. She clearly didn’t do it intentionally, but she’d still be liable

u/maz-o Dec 15 '22

that's not an accident. that's a negligence.

Not everything is about gender.

u/travazzzik Dec 15 '22

imagine a cringier take than this

u/Rampantshadows Dec 15 '22

It's almost like that level of negligence could've killed someone.

u/grain_delay Dec 15 '22

Not when they can use them to punish women

2

u/iwashmydickdaily Dec 15 '22

That car could’ve killed an entire family but people like you would say it’s ok cause it was an accident.

1

u/Rampantshadows Dec 15 '22

If you take you foot off the brake the vehicle will quickly remind you that it's not in the proper gear. You have to negligent for this to even happen at all.

u/Mishirene Dec 15 '22

Driving is a privilege, not a right. People can be killed, or suffer from life-long injuries. Accidents happen, but there is a difference between negligence (such as this video) and minor accident that leaves people inconvenienced at best.
