Just like the movies yo!

slow music just starts to play right after, car looks like a crushed pop can

[greendb7]

wow the camera vehicle plows right into the cabin of that car

[Not really racist!]

holy fuck...

[hk20000]

It's difficult for the truck to stop in time when he sees this

[JD35]

holy fuck is right, anyone happen to know the name of the song?

[kokanee_vtec]

howry shit!

holly fuck some luck

That's hurt sauce.

[jpark]

damn.. so what exactly was that giant chunk in the middle of the road that made the car spin out?

[Tokemon]

Luckily no one is killed in this accident....

[TRDood]

wow, the truck/van/car nailed the roof of that car dead center. talk about bad luck...

[G-spec]

damn, the driver of the truck took his sweet time....
and once he finally does come out, he's casually on his cellphone and the first thing he does @ 1:26 is turn around to check the damage on the front end of his truck like that's the primary concern at the moment, gotdang

[124Y]

Holy shit is right! :eek:

ya fuk, i would run over to check if the other ppl are alright. what a tool.

[hk20000]

I think he's on the phone for the police already man. Plus he did go look at the cabin of the wreck for a bit first....probably too bloody for him to handle so he had to look away...Then he's just looking around for mileage markings on road side to give the police description.

He was more calm and collected than most other Asian professional drivers, actually.

[jonceballos]

the semi truck in front had a blow out
it appears to be bits of rubber from a truck tire that it hit

[orange7]

unlucky..

now i have a new fear

[nns]

The truck driver was probably in shock after striking the car. It's disappointing to see that every car that drove by after didn't stop to offer assistance.

[TypeRNammer]

Holy shit is right! :eek:

well it's pretty dangerous to stop and get out to help on a highway even if you are pulled over on the shoulders.

[TL_99]

http://tw.news.yahoo.com/article/url/d/a/100711/17/292bp.html

the driver did not die miraculously and is conscious to speak to reporters.

[PiuYi]

i think the truck driver was pretty shaken up himself.... kinda hard to care for others when you're involved in the crash as well, and he was already on the phone calling for help i presume, not much else he could've done

[Qmx323]

Damn good luck on the guy

that shit looked deadly

[FerrariEnzo]

wow the camera vehicle plows right into the cabin of that car

well, do you think you can avoid that driving a truck? if you tried to, you would probably flip over doing so.. not much he could do...

[Graeme S]

If I were the truck driver, I would feel insanely guilty. I mean, plowing into the cabin like that...jesus.

[Redlines_Daily]

NOBODY stops to help!? Jesus, pull over infront of the crash then..at least do something..

[FerrariEnzo]

wow, why are some of you guys putting blame on the poor truck driver???

would you rather have another car plow into car? maybe he did it on purpose for that reason so another small car wont plow into it and cause a bigger accident?

[tamazoid]

I'm surprised that the silver car that squeezed by in 0:34 didn't bother stopping...

Luckily nobody died.

[supman7]

why did the truck driver not rush out to see if the other passengers were ok? he waited and checked out this truck before going over to the other vehicle? And not a single person stopped to help?

[mindcruising]

what a buncha asshole no one stops to help

[orange7]

okay I'm gonna point this out now.

Luckily the blownout car was hit by the truck, otherwise no one would've called for help.

The truck driver was pretty much forced into making a phone call.

If the truck had squeeze by, the driver in the flipped car would've been more screwed.

[danned]

holy crap

[ZenZa]

nice dodge by that silver car

what was that on the road? looked like remnants from another car accident

[SomeOtherAsian]

Holy crap. Thats f'ed up.
What was on the road??

[Greenstoner]

according to the chinese news i just read, a fallen piece of gear from the truck in front of him caused the tire of sedan blew up and lost control.


Driver in the sedan lost concious and dont remeber anything, but the good news is he survived

[.Renn.Sport]

stop for what? to cause a bigger accident by having people rear end you and slow down traffic??

btw, what the fuck are you gonna do if u stop and "try" to help out? only thing YOU could do is call the emergency line and thats about it

[Dentz]

Talk to the person, act as a witness, moral support to those of who are conscious? But really who gives a shit - it doesn't involve you so why would you care.

Anyways, if there's a large shoulder, safe place to park near-by, or park right in-front of the accident (hiding yourself in-front of the truck) you could've pulled over. I've never been to the East, so I can't really comment on the size of the highway shoulder's though.

[Heavy_user]

Even if the shoulders were large for parks to stop and park. Wouldn't it create more problems and be more dangerous to have people come out of their cars and walk on the highway? It was pretty clear that the truck driver is already contacting the police for help.

Does it look like there's going to be anyone going high speed in the left lane? It's all blocked off by the truck already! You'll be stupid to change lanes after that kind of wreckage and smash into the car that's pulled over to the side...

I don't know what kind of laws there is in TW... But if you witnessed an accident here, aren't you suppose to stop and be a witness? Or at least give some support...

You obviously see that the truck driver's alright to call the emergency line. But what if both drivers weren't ok to call? I guess you'll be long gone not giving a shit...

You're a fucking prick

THX GOD I DONT HAVE TO READ ANYMORE OF THIS DUDE"S CRAP

[observer]

If I ever get involved in a serious car accident, I would prefer others to immediately call 911 and describe the location as accurately and as quickly as possible than to go out and check on me possibly endangering their life and mine.

[Qmx323]

I'm pretty sure it's in the Learners handbook to pull over out of the way and call 911 immediately, and not to rush out only to be ran over by another guy zoomin' down the highway going 100km/h. Truck driver couldn't really pull over out of the way, and he did call 911.

He did what he was supposed to, its not like he's an EMT trained to save lives

[thumper]

is this the same kind of video recorder setup that they use in the buses in taiwan? is it required by law?

i tried to translate the news report that was posted up but it came up garbled... did it say in the last paragraph that they found the truck responsible for dropping the stuff the car hit?

[Noizz]

Sorry everyone I'm going to have to agree somewhat with Renn or Hyde or whatever on this one. In my honest opinion pulling over on a 3 lane highway and trying to run across to help would be very unsafe for traffic and yourself. Your perspective is altered by the spacious 3 lane environment making the cars "seem" like they are farther away than usual, when they are actually able to catch up very quickly.

Does it look like there's going to be anyone going high speed in the left lane? It's all blocked off by the truck already!

Where do you think the emergency crew parks when they arrive? Multiple firetrucks, ambulances, police cars will arrive on scene, they need space and they're going to tell you to bugger off. Really, what purpose would you serve in an accident of this magnitude? Call 911, and let the professionals do their job.

Talking about how Renn is an idiot or retarded, and boasting that "I would have pulled over and helped" is plain retarded. What? You think you're a good person now because you would have done something different in a situation that has already happened? Please cut the shit.

Think about it for a second. If a massive accident like this happened, and a person happened to drive by what would the average person be doing? Looking in awe from all the destruction right? So do you think they would pay attention to you trying to cross 3 lanes on a highway? Would they be expecting a random person to be on the highway? Don't cause more confusion and havoc as there already is. If some dumbass runs into your ride or you because he is paying attention to the crash and not the road, what happens then?

Talk to the person, act as a witness, moral support to those of who are conscious? But really who gives a shit - it doesn't involve you so why would you care.

Talk to them about what? Moral support? If you had an engine block stuck on top of your leg with a broken femur, bleeding out like a garden hose, would you feel that much better if a random citizen came over to watch you suffering? "Police are on there way, it's going to be okay" Yay, that makes me feel much better.....:bullshit: I much rather hope that someone had called 911. If you cared enough to call 911, that would be the best thing in this situation.

And how would you know beyond a reasonable doubt that the tire blew out? From 1000m out, it could have just seemed like the car driver lost control and swerved into the truck, and therefore your statement couldn't be further away from the truth, and screwing the car driver's insurance, etc. I've gotten screwed over by some guy who "witnessed" the accident I was in. Totally altered the story, and fucked me over, only because the other driver got to him first.

If you ever witness such an accident on a highway, there is no need to pull over and endanger everyone else's life and yours, and you can simply call ICBC and tell them you witnessed an accident. Of course this is for BC, but I'm sure the same procedure is available in TW. How would you even tell someone who's incased by steel and debris from the car that you'll be a witness for him? Slip your card into his pocket?

From ICBC website:

I've personally driven behind a pickup truck who took the on ramp onto No. 1 from Willingdon too quickly and flipped it into a ditch at 2am. Honestly, it happened so fast that I never knew how it happened, he could be drunk, he could have tried to dodge an animal, but the important thing was just to CALL 911. I already passed him when he ended up in the ditch. I called 911 and told them what happened, but I was curious to what happened to the guy so I headed back and when I arrived an ambulance was already on the scene and attending to the driver. The paramedic asked me if I was the one who called it in and just said thanks and told me to be on my way. I cared for the driver, I called 911 right away, but what more could I have really done?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for supporting average joes running into a burning home and rescuing a baby. But given the situation stopping on a highway where cars are doing 80+ km/hr to help an accident that left a car like a crushed soda can is just out right stupid. You have the number for the police, and you have the number for ICBC to act as a witness. Theres nothing more you can do.

While I do agree with you for the most part, I'm also going to have to disagree somewhat. When I got into my accident a few years back, I was unable to get out of the car due to the cabin twisting in such a manner that didn't allow for the doors to open, and I couldn't power on my electric windows. I didn't have anything in the car capable of breaking the window, not that I was in much physical shape to try and break 'em. No one stopped for a good five minutes, until one guy finally did and smashed a window open for me. The one thing that kept going through my head was that if the car was on fire, I was essentially trapped inside with no way out. I also had no way of knowing if someone had called 911 on my behalf. At least if someone stopped, they could tell me that someone is on their way to help me, and if the car was indeed on fire, it's possible they might have been able to help get me out.

Was the accident on the highway? I'm not a heartless man, but its hard to deal with different situations I guess? In your case, yes of course pulling over to smash the window before the fire gets you is 100% correct given that the bystander indeed saw you conscious and trying to escape your car.

And it would be 100% correct to help a fellow citizen if he/she drove their car into a lake. My last argument is specific to the environment in which the accident happened. It would be foolish to help in a fast, unpredictable environment like a highway. Otherwise, if you believe that the outcome is greater than the sum of your efforts, then by all means you should do whatever it is that you can do to help. But lets just specifically isolate it to the OP's post, there is really nothing a common citizen could do.

If you are able to do something helpful without risking your own life and others then by all means go for it. Lomac, I hoped in your case someone did actually call 911 when you were stuck in the car. You'll have to trust that our human race could at the very least call 911 when they see an accident.

Yeah, it was on Hwy 1, during a snow storm. Got run off the road by a drunk driver and hit one of those concrete overpass supports after my car lost traction in a patch of slush.

Don't get me wrong; from an outside perspective, I can understand why people wouldn't want to stop. But when you're trapped inside a car, it's hard to think why people aren't stopping.

[racerman88]

Damn, I thought the driver was dead after that

[Noizz]

Well thankfully someone did pull over and help you, it just took them 5 min to do so :( A lot of people where probably scared to stop if it was during a snow storm, but I wonder if they would care enough to call 911 for you. Thats the least they could do.

[SpartanAir]

Luckily no one is killed in this accident....

Do you know for sure? That looked pretty bad...hopefully no one died

[Shun Izaki]

I almost wonder what people would say if Hyde didn't say that.

I mean, two really respectable members just totally agreed with him (or at least 90%) of his point, and his posts were in no way out of place.

Oh well... don't care... he is pretty right about RS sometimes

I believe for the most part, most members here just follow what other members have to say and they agree upon what the social norm is in RS in order to "fit-in" or save face. They don't have their own opinion because they are scared to get flamed/failed.

But if people sat down to think before they said, voiced their own opinions rather than following other's, have valid arguments without excessive arrogance, then RS would be a very logical and respectable forum. I'm not saying that it isn't right now, but there is room for improvement.

IMO, banning Hyde/Renn was a bit too much. He has a valid argument, but he just doesn't know how to explain his opinion in a mature manner. Put yourself in his shoes, if the whole thread was flaming him about how he is jerk, you might be quick to get aggressive very fast. If he was able to control his emotions and explained how I explained my opinion about the matter, there would have been much less quarrel.

I had a mature discussion with Lomac after my post, and thats how it should be. I don't know of Hyde/Renn's past here at RS, but I am not going to judge him by what he has done in the past like many new 2006+ members have. I don't need to bring up the past or bring irrelevant information about his past in order to conjure an argument against him. Use logic and voice your own opinion, don't turn it into a shit storm.

You have to love Hyde/Renn though, at least he still speaks from his heart and has his own opinion. Where would RS be if there weren't a few out-of-this-world members? :thumbsup:

That's why i've said it before, and i'll say it again.

Hyde > 98% of RSers. For someone who actually has met, and KNOWS him in person... he's a pretty stand-up guy compared to alotta the "hey, i'mma meet you once, and then proceed to bash you" or "i've never met you, but my friend's brother's uncle thinks your dumb, so I shall as well!"

That being said Vancouver's a buncha bandwagoners, not just on RS... it's the mentality here... be it people who watch 'nucks and don't even know what our goalie's name is (i personally could give a shit less) or olympic this and that... I mean... sure, it's exciting, and it's awesome to cheer for what you love. But don't cheer for stuff you don't.

That's like me going to a rotary meet and saying they're the BEST cars ever, because i'll get beat up by angry white guys if i don't... i'll still speak my mind, though on a slightly less offenseive tone... hell I'm great friends with many rotary owners, and I've owned one myself... still don't like'm.

Having an opinion is difficult, but ask any racer, any REAL racer, it don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning.

Spartanair: yea, i am pretty sure the guy's alive as I saw the original video with explaination to what had happened instead of the video posted by the OP.

There are way more videos on youtube if you search for them....apparently a lot more people in Taiwan is using those in car camcorders now. I am also considering one for my car as well since there are too many dumb ass drivers and scooters in Taiwan.

By the way, as to stop and help someone in an accident, I would think really carefully before actually doing it. Too many stories about people getting screwed over when they stop to help. Basically, they would get blamed for causing the accident even if the moron fell off his bike by himself. When that happens, you better wish you have some sort of in car camcorder or the intersection got cameras.

^ It's impossible to stop on a highway like that like hyde said. Traffic is going past you at 120 clicks, there are debris everywhere, you didn't know there's a flipped crushed can until you just made it past that big dump lorry; By then you won't be able to stop anywhere near the wreck; you don't know if there are other emergency vehicles on their way, you know nothing compared to the paramedics; I'm on a horse; This post is now diamonds.

But maybe in the movies and in utopia someone who happens to be a paramedic with a full first aid kit in his car might drive by unusually slow and stop and somehow whip out a jack of life and rescue the guy, then proceed to save his life. They become BFF. Do do do do do dooo doo~

It's not impossible but it's unlikely.

[imp>dom]

why so serious... internet talks will always be just talks

[Graeme S]

Hyde is not entirely wrong about stopping at the accident.

Hyde is being a douchey ass for implying that people who want to help or slow for information or call to be witnesses are idealistic asshats who are retarded idealistic idiots, as opposed to the admirable members of society we should try to be.

I have witnessed several incidents, and have always taken the time to either pull over or help those in need when possible, and called to report my point of view when not.


Hyde is not entirely wrong. Hyde is an e-douche who needs a break from Revscene. He'll be back in a month.

There are a lot of ways to get your point across.
Unfortunately, Hyde does not possess the social tact or maturity to make his argument valid to most of the people here. People who defend his cause in the same manner are probably just as negative as he is.

Right or wrong, being a dick will never gain you respect in any facet of life. Being a dick on Revscene gives you a time out for 30 days and in turn, makes conversations a lot more mature and interesting in my opinion.

I keep high visibility vest and fire extinguisher in my truck, and believe it or not, I bought a used jaws of life a an auction a little while ago. Going to power it with a air/hydraulic pump and the air compressor system built into my winch. Too lazy to install a PTO.


I don't think most people know about this recent law or seen the signs on the side of the road.

“SLOW DOWN, MOVE OVER” LAW NOW IN EFFECT

VICTORIA – A new regulation takes effect today to enhance the safety of emergency workers by requiring drivers to slow down and move over when passing parked emergency vehicles that have their lights flashing.

The new Motor Vehicle Act regulation applies to drivers passing police, fire, ambulance and towing vehicles, as well as vehicles used by commercial vehicle safety and enforcement personnel, passenger transportation inspectors, conservation officers, park rangers, and special provincial constables employed in the Ministry of Forests and Range.

Drivers must now slow to 70 km/h on highways where the speed limit is 80 km/h or higher, and to 40 km/h where the limit is below 80 km/h, when approaching a stopped emergency vehicle that has lights flashing. If there is another lane going in the same direction, drivers must also move into that lane if it is safe to do so.

The penalty for not slowing to the designated speed, not moving over, or both, is a fine and three penalty points on the driver’s licence. The fine, including a 15 per cent victim surcharge, is $148 if paid within 30 days or $173 thereafter. An existing penalty remains in place for failing to yield to a moving emergency vehicle.

Between 2001 and 2007, 21 emergency workers were injured or killed on B.C. roads – 12 of them at the roadside.

The new regulation is supported by organizations representing emergency workers including the Office of the Fire Commissioner and Fire Chiefs’ Association of B.C., BC Ambulance Service, BC Association of Chiefs of Police, the British Columbia towing industry and the British Columbia Automobile Association (BCAA).

Which is not the case. And Taiwan is not part of BC jurisdiction.

[slammer111]

The new BC law, while making total sense, also makes one wonder if cops will now set up speed traps at accident scenes.

Dunno about the rest of you guys, but I always slow down less than 70 and look at the wreckage. Bit of a natural reaction. ;) I'm sure most average Joes would too.

[LG Hunter]

amazing how that guy just walks out of the car with nothing, the car looked shredded.

i've seen a few highway accidents right infront me (in toronto 401 & 404 hwy)
usually it is not advisable to stop or make any sudden movement or speed changes because it creates a greater hazard for the vehicles behind you...

move along, call 911 and report everything you see, leave your name and phone # in case they need to reach you for witness account.

btw I would never get out of a vehicle on these hwy where typical traffic speed is 130km/h+.....all it takes is 1 retarded driver who pay too much attention at you, and end up driving his/her car straight at you (and there are a few hundreds cars passing every minute in these busy hwys)

[YiNG_YaNG_6o4]

not ONE person stopped and helped. wow
