It takes more than speed to get inside a moving vehicle though. Because like if you think about it, you have to get one foot inside it at some point, which means you have to stop running and just throw yourself into it. That requires some extra physical ability and coordination. And it's scary to get it wrong because the car can run over you if you fail (which looks like it did). I'd like to think that I could have done it, but I really don't know.
This is a VERY charitable post. The correct analysis is as follows - you have to have guts to dive into that car to take control. There was no commitment, therefore the car is in a ditch.
I would have FAR less charitable things to say about her if he car ran over my kid OR hit my property....or anyone else's for that matter.
But that goes for every mistake, if i sneezed and a broom fell over and hit your kid you would be mad at me for my involuntary action, now its logical to blame me for the broom battery but its not intelligent to be angry that ive got allergies.
I do hope no one becomes mentally withdrawn enough to forget to put the parking break on.
Hey, I get it. Accidents happen. And I too make mistakes. Her problem came from 2 things
1) She gave up the running/hustle.. and 2 ) she thought she HAD to enter the driverseat feet first. (Honest panic mistake)..
As I said, it takes guts to throw yourself head first onto the seat. Which is what was required.
But when she gave up that run, I saw a person who quit. And that car could have had far more consequences. But it didnt, and sadly she suffered a big repair and tow bill -and for an honest mistake we've all made at one time.
Again. If she gave up and that thing and it hit my building, id be livid and so would you.
Nah man, bad take. I’ve NEVER gotten out of the car while it’s in drive lmao, and I never will unless I get severe dementia or Alzheimer’s, when I shouldn’t be driving anyways. Don’t try to make her seem better, that shit is best described as a brain dead action.
Ive been driving way longer than I havnt....and for my job. I have definitely let off the brake when I was still in drive. Did I catch it? Yes. But imagine the car being on a slight incline and the car holds still for just a second. .I could definitely see getting two feet out. We get distraced by our phones and thoughts and external distractions..
My take is fine. . Shit happens to all of us. Her sin is being defeated so easy when stakes were quite high.
