They're made to crumple and reduce the impact when another vehicle hitting you gets to the main carriage where you're seated at. So, staying in the vehicle is more safe and more efficient than getting out in the case of some shrapnel flying off and hitting you from the immediate crash. Plus, you can make slight angle adjustments if need be as they get closer. And after the crash in the way they did it, they'd be able to drive after the drunken driver's vehicle after catching a breath from the impact, since they should still be able to drive.

@simoneapple man we need to be more grateful that’s actually men and women making it their responsibility to protect and serve. We should be more grateful we live in a country that has this go south of the border Mexican police pull you over and demand money if you’re from the states. (That’s neither here nor there) but that tiny percentage of cops who do wrong doing shouldn’t represent all law enforcement! If you have thousands if not hindrances of thousands of cases being handled and less .0001 percent are a case of a white police officer going up to an innocent white man and shooting him. That’s not all law enforcement that’s the one or couple pigs in law enforcement. And they should get reported or w.e needs to happen to them!!!

@@ManuelCastro-ns5sd for sure, the bad cops need to be weeded out, and the good ones must hold their colleagues accountable instead of turning blind eyes to misconduct. Police unions need massive reform. I like the idea of smaller police units assigned permanently to small districts and communities. Instead of a few huge precincts in NYC, they should have dozens of small divisions instead.

It saddens me that this happens SO OFTEN. In Idaho, a person who had 20 plus DUIs, not allowed to own a vehicle. Registered his many vehicles in his mom's name and continued to drive. Hadn't had a drivers license for decades, but didnt care. Killed and injured numerous people in his many accidents. Last I heard, he was still out driving. He'd go away for maybe 30 days at a time. A story that repeats itself in every state. These officers are brave, and thank you all for what you do ! It would be nice if there was some way to stop this completely preventable tragedy from happening. Can't fix stupid.

I came across a wrong way driver coming straight at me and was able to swerve to avoid them. However, the vehicles in the same lane behind me, were not so fortunate and hit them. It's a very scary situation when you're faced with a split second decision. Much respect for those officers.

Same exact experience as yourself. Found out the lady ran her SUV into a 20yr old male, who had a pregnant wife at home (gladly), and killed him. I feel guilty everyday because I didn't take my truck and block the lady from hitting anyone else... A small SUV hitting a full-size pick up is better than hitting a Honda Fit sized car....
