The first case with the truck driver was scary but he was doing what he needed to be safe. Yes he was parked on the side of the road with minimal traffic causing him to be a “sitting duck”. The cardiologist who gave a diabetic medication for high blood pressure was actually responsible. The driver was not fully aware of the mix of medication and diabetes. The second case is hard to watch. Knowing that you are alive when your father was killed in the same accident that you survived. The third case has me questioning the 14 year old and her family. Most kids growing up know not to play in the middle of the road. I do feel bad for the 2 people who struck her. I also feel bad for that girl’s family.

Jo Grinz, you are responsible to be in control of your vehicle at all times, including being ready and able to react to unexpected obstructions or someone either in or who enters into your path of travel. The factors of whether you do not have your headlights on, if you are overdriving your headlights with excessive speed or if you are distracted and fail to react in a timely manner, all make you both civilly and potentially criminally liable for the accident. That’s not to say that there may be some factors that can help mitigate the driver’s liability in such a case, but these rules are the starting point in terms of assessing liability, i.e., who is at fault, responsible for damages and subject to prosecution.

Ann Raybon, you have a certain responsibility to also ask your doctor of side effect and pharmacies now routinely provide information sheets presented with each prescription, probably as both a customer service and to limit their own potential liability or risk of suit. However, I recently learned that a huge percentage patient non-compliance, i.e., failing to take medications as prescribed by their doctor and/or lying to or misleading their doctor about whether or how they are using their prescribed medications. All that being said, I would not want to be the doctor in this case because attorneys will look at him or her not only because of very the doctor’s genuine culpability but also because the doctor’s malpractice insurance is a “deep pocket.” Attorneys will often skip past a party with greater liability with few assets to reach the party with the likelihood of producing the highest payout. In this case, depending upon the malpractice laws of the state, the doctor could be facing suits by the family of the deceased driver and by the surviving driver who helped precipitate the accident, or their respective insurance companies.

The result can be disastrous for a standard car as you can imagine! Years ago I was driving across one of Sydney's busiest bridges when a van in my lane lost their ladder, then as it was still sliding the truck in front of me drove over it without touching it. I couldn't swerve to avoid it as it appeared so suddenly, but as my early model Nissan Pathfinder was fitted with aftermarket lifted suspension, I knew I had the clearance to drive right over it, however as I looked in my mirrors I saw several cars behind madly changing lanes trying not to hit it!

The second one, with the tire in the road, reminds me of when I was driving my normal route home from work, and found two large pieces of tin roofing on the road. They were bent out of shape, and there was one in each lane. The truck I was driving at the time could make it over it no problem, but I knew anyone with a low lying vehicle would have to swerve to dodge, and that was extremely dangerous as this was a blind corner. There was a church right after the curve, so I parked there, got out, and moved the piece that was lying in the middle of the road into the ditch. The other piece was much smaller and while I can't quite remember where it was, it was in a place that other vehicles could dodge if need be without too much fear of running into someone. It was also in the inner curve, and I just simply didn't feel comfortable moving it when that lane was completely blind from where I would be, vs. the one I moved which I could see any oncoming vehicles. The tin was gone within a few days and as far as I'm aware, there were no accidents.

Here in Australia we seem to have a common problem of tradesmen (we call them 'tradies'), not securing their ladders (the excuse is probably that they're not going far) then losing them on a busy main road. The result can be disastrous for a standard car, but I was driving across one of Sydney's busiest bridges when a van in my lane lost their ladder, then as it was still sliding the truck in front of me drove over it without touching it. As my vehicle was an early model Nissan Pathfinder with aftermarket suspension fitted I knew I had the clearance to drive right over it nor could I swerve it as it appeared so suddenly, but the cars behind me were madly changing lanes to avoid it!

Spirit BlackPaw, thank you for thinking of others. I have done the same thing or called the police to report it. However, I have occasionally been in situations where I can’t possibly stop safely or get out of my vehicle or it is too dangerous and/or distracting to call police and give a reasonable location reference for the obstruction’s on a limited access highway. I simply have to hope someone else will call or the police will find it soon.
@inkyguy4 жыл бұрын
Stevie-Ray, it is a serious problem, and I wish there were stronger criminal penalties for truckers who fail to reasonably secure their cargo. I have read of incidents in which people in other vehicles have been permanently disabled (e.g., paraplegia or quadriplegia) or killed outright from objects flying off of other vehicles of other drivers. Where I live you are legally responsible to clear ice and snow from the roof of your vehicle and you are legally liable for any damage or injury caused by ice flying from your vehicle. However, to hold the responsible driver accountable you must first catch them, and that rarely happens in such situations.

I'm a living testament, in the right rollover conditions, a seatbelt will save your life. I was involved in a slow speed rollover (caused mostly by my panicked oversteering) at 16. EMS and police said that if I wasn't wearing my seatbelt I would've died. But I was, and I was able to crawl out of the car.

@@MelwynreithTV you are aware seat bags and airbags aren't interchangeable terms. Air bag is the term to describe the type of safety deployment. While seat bags specifically indicate air bags located within a seat for passengers behind the driver or front passenger. So while all seat bags are airbags, not all airbags are seat bags. The industry term is airbag - to suggest the industry term is now seat bag because you decided those terms are interchangeable is not correct.

Nicky D if she was going 60 wouldn’t she have been up the other cars arse if that one was going 30? Regardless why is a 14 yr old allowed on a motorized scoter at night in the middle of the road ? In Australia children can’t get a probational license until they are 18 and have had more than 200 hrs supervised driving experience .They are also not allowed to have a v8 or drive over 80kms , even in a 100km zone it has reduced deaths on the road . New Zealand and England are implementing driver courses instead of fines which I think is great .

I think accidents are a real thing. I had ended up rear ending a sedan a few winters ago. I hit some ice and couldn't stop so I let off the brake a little so I could get my car to where i would only hit half of their bumper instead of the whole thing. Ended up calling the police got one to respond. Told him everything that happened and he came back with all my information and had a paper in his hand. I had a pen ready to sign a citation but he handed me the police report said I'm not going to give you a citation because it sounds like a true weather related accident.

It is unclear to me if the driver of truck who struck the tire in the road was wearing a seatbelt. The narrator said he was crushed. Was that within or outside of the vehicle? Often in accidents such as these, the unrestrained occupants (i.e., those not wearing a seatbelt) will be thrown from the vehicle and are then crushed by the vehicle as it rolls over them or lands on top of them. With very few exceptions, a seatbelt will save your life, reduce serious injury, or at the very, very least, leave a much better looking body.

It is very tragic that the girl was killed, but, unfortunately, she was at fault for being on the road with the scooter. As it happened, the driver who was speeding ended up being the one who was held responsible for her death. Someone always has to be held responsible when there is a road death. The trucker should have parked completely off the road. If there is an erratic driver on the road, pull over and allow them to pass. (It's better to have them in front of you so you can take evasive action when necessary.)
