Bonanza crash caught on video

I think it's too dramatically different from everyday experience, so the
people watching the gory pictures tend not to identify with them, so they
really don't have much effect.

I was shown those horrible videos (made by the Ohio Highway Patrol,
BTW) in driver's ed, and they had a profound influence on me. I
remember kids fainting and puking in class.

In fact, they had such a restrictive impact on my (normal-for-age-16)
crazy driving that I actually bought the DVD (which is available on-
line) of those films and made my son watch it. It's WAY too
politically incorrect for our cradle-to-grave sappy society nowadays,
and it's still awful to watch.

Dunno if it had the same impact on him, but I figured it was worth the
chance. Male teenage drivers are like hand grenades with the pin
pulled -- you *know* they're going to blow up, it's just a matter of
when and where.
