Scared the Living Cr*p Out of Me

Hey
hey
omg I am soo upset right now.. I just
got back from going to the grocery store
with my brother and we passed a local
highschool and there was a car wrapped
around a telephone pole.. It was a
mustang from what we could tell.. There
was cops and fire firghters and paramedics
all over the place.. I was immediatly
worried and brought up memories from the
accident almost 2 years ago that killed my
two best freinds... I got my brother to
pull over cuz I wanted to know what had
happened.. So he pulled over and we got
out and started talking to the many ppl
that were crowded in the area... No one
knew what had happened.. The cops and
fire fighters were all doing thier job..
Well we waited for about 10 minutes a
police officer came over and asked
everyone how they were feeling about
this... Everyone was scared there was
even people crying... Finally after
someone asked what happened he explained
that this was a mock crash to make
everyone(meaning youth.. There have been
alot of accidents killing youth in the
last 2 years) that speed kills.. I
understand why they are doing this.. But
I think they r going around it the wrong
way.. Did they stop to think of peoples
feelings or emotions from those who have
already lost close freinds of family
members to a sppeed related accident... I
mean they could prove their point another
way...

Omg I was reading that and I almost
started crying! Thank goodness it was a
mock and no one was hurt! Truthfully I
think they did the right thing, I am a
teen driver and to be honest when I leave
the parking lot at school I wait until
most of my classmates have driven off
because I don't feel safe driving with
other teens around! Most are reckless and
feel invinsable! My friend pat did a
story on teens behind the wheel. It is
posted on our school website

 it is
our announcments! They air them live and
then put them on the net! Its soooo cool!
I am bummed that you can't see it! If
you could I was gonna show you guys the
one where they interviewed me and my
friend amanda! They interviewed us cause
we were going to championship that day for
volleyball! We got 2nd in state! Yay us!
Lol ok enough of that! Yeah I am
surprised they did that too, I have seem
totaled cars before that are around with
huge signs saying that the car was donated
from madd. Its really sad!

Hey I think the mock accident was an good
ideal but they should of done it another
way but it was a good way to get the
youth thinking because for you to see in
person what speeding can do shows you the
reality of what can happen unlike tv
where they can make things seem a little
unreal I mean witch are you going to
believe more tv or seeing it in person but
I think they should of done it at a school
to show more people could of been their or
a place where you had an options to be
thier also I think it may have got the
point across because I bet any one who saw
the mock demosraction most thier most
likely wacthed their speed even though it
may have been for that day what the people
should of done was warn every one before
doing it and explaning what was going on
because they could of freaked out the
wrong persons

Hey
hey I agree with what your saying.. They
shouldve warned us that this was going to
be happening.. I have seen first hand
what speeding does my two best friends
were killed in a car accident almost 2
years ago I was the last person to see
them alive.. I was also dating the guy
who flew through the windsheild of the
car.. I saw the car hours after the crash
still in the ditch.. I think they
shouldve told us before hand... All I
know is now I am going to have a harder
time getting over losing dayton and simon
because of these feelings that have been
brought to the surface... They shouldve
warned the already affected

For homecoming last year my school had the
mothers against drunk driving and they had
a mustang and another car brought in. The
mustang was mangled you couldn't even tell
what kind of car it was. Well there was
still blood on the windshield and seats
and beer bottles everywhere. The kid that
was driving was drunk and got into an
accident and killed him and his
girlfriend. It was so horrible, it really
made ppl think. Drinking and driving is
so stupid!

It isn't just teens who drive recklessly!
For goodness sakes, listen to what you
are saying. There are so many people who
never learned how to drive! I would say
at least 50% of car accidents, at least in
my area, are caused by old people who
cannot even see over the steering wheel
anymore. I would rather be driving with
speed demons then someone who is legally
blind. But the government will not do
anything about it because it is "age
discrimination." well, then it is "age
discrimination" to not be able to get your
license until a certain age.
But anywho, that mock thing was kinda
ignorant. I see their point, but every
time I see a car accident I am afraid that
someone I know is dead. My heart sinks
to my feet and I feel like vomiting. If
I had seen that, and they told meit was
fake, I would be royally pissed! I know,
the high schools around here will get a
car that is really destroyed and set it up
somewhere to show that this is what
happens when you drink and drive. I
think that is a much better idea.
P.S I wasn't being mean in the beginning
of this post. I hope you don't take it
that way.
