I did flip my car 2 weeks ago and almost died (landed in coming traffic), but for some reason I'm pretty disaffected from fear or worry. Apathy is a beautiful thing | ||

But if he didn't do something, my crazy idiot aunt would have ran out of the car and fucked everything up and gotten in the way of the accident. He didn't need to be so aggressive, especially in front of the children, but he did the right thing in the end. Agreed here. Also, DoctorHelvetica, I don't know I'm just having reading problems or something but it sounds like you're trying to justify your aunt beating Omar the infant with the fact that the other girl had temper tantrums. That is several layers of fucked up right there. I don't know if I read that correctly. It's 3am right now. Sorry that you had to see something like that. Seeing a girl's head split open like a watermelon... Jesus Christ. This is why, when I get my scooter I will 100% of the time insist that my passengers wear a full face helmet and that I instruct them on how to put it on correctly. I always cringe when I see people with pretty much hats on their heads in place of a real full face helmet. It doesn't matter if you're just going going around the corner to buy something.... Do people really think death will strike them only if their commute is greater than 1km? That must've been soul killing for the BF. | ||

Head on collision at 40 mph, an average speed for a straight, two-lane local road, is like instant death. And that situation only requires one person to fuck up. I think car accidents are the number one cause of death in the US that's not medical related (eg cancer, heart disease). | ||

I don't ever intend to drive myself and everytime i get into a car with someone else im basically entrusting my life to them and when they start to do things like fiddle whilst driving etc i get really nervous and whine at them. I've never been in a car accident and i intend to keep it that way. | ||

I guess I had no time to really think about it because I spent the entire time trying to ignore my aunt and uncle arguing and keep the kids calm for the rest of the day. You're right. There's really no point in arguing at a point like that. And if there is any arguing it shouldn't be about going out. | ||

She bit him in his crib and such. | ||

Motorcycles' fuel efficiency advantage over cars is pretty significant, but I personally would not risk my own life for that. I have a couple friends who are interested in getting motorcycles in the future for this. If I were religious I'd pray for them in the case that they do. I also agree with people who are wary of cars in general. I've already almost killed myself on the highway twice, and I've only been driving for about 4 years. Honestly they were both my mistakes, and that makes the issue even more harrowing: you can't trust yourself to be a good driver; that'll only invite complacency. Anyways mad props to DH for staying calm with the children. I'm against lying, but I'm sure you had good reasons. Not to be a dick, but try not to stress too much about this. There are too many tragedies for them all to be mourned. | ||
