I just found out today that my friend was in a car accident.  she says she's ok but she cracked a couple ribs. she likes viewtiful Joe, so I'm going to go see her and bring her my game cube and viewtiful Joe tommrow.

Well that pretty much blows.  Hopefully she recovers quickly and isn't in much pain.  Nobody else was hurt I hope?  Tell her your scary internet friend hopes she gets better soon and that all else is well for her.

Cracking a few ribs? How can that be? Wasn't she wearing a seatbelt and did she smash on the steering wheel?

Maybe now she'll be smart enough not to get into a vehicle with someone that can't drive or learn to drive, whatever. Sorry dude but I'm not too sympathetic cause to my experience people get their licenses from cracker jacks boxes and others are too quick to get into a vehicle with an irresponsible driver. Every time you get into a vehicle your're putting your life into someone else's hands.

/agreed

this past spring it seemed like every weekend some teens were dead from driving around like asses on the road.  no sympathy

Where does it say that the girl is a bad driver? All Freak boy said was that she had been in an accident. Maybe some lunatic drove into her. You guys are pretty quick to judge.

Yeah, for real.  The girl could have been sitting at a stop light for all you guys know and had a crazy drunk person run into her.  Even if it was her that caused the accident, people screw up sometimes.  Hill hopping is something I have no sympathy for, but Jesus.  Getting in an accident sucks.  Have some sympathy.

her car sucks, her seatbelts only work half the time so she slammed her chest into the steering wheel.  



their already was an accident blocking her lane, so one of the cops told her to go into the other lane, and some dumbass in a black jeep came speeding around the corner and slammed into her.

i'm just kinda sick of hearing about stupid drivers that all.
but it wasnt her fault so good for her.  now she can be a real american and sue

She was pretty super stupid to drive around with faulty seatbelts though. Very very very stupid.

Hey when your a kid, you don't always have the option of getting something like that fixed.  Hell, even now I let major things go a long time before I fix them.  My speddometer has been fried for like a month.  I just don't want to shell out the 300 bucks to get a new instrument cluster board.

She shouldn't drive with a broken seatbelt. It's not safe. If you can't drive a car safely, you shouldn't drive one at all.  

Priorities.  It's about being responsible with your money.  If your seatbelts are busted, (it IS illegal to drive without them, remember, not to mention dangerous) then you get them fixed.  Before you party, before you buy that new PS2 game, before ANYTHING.  No excuses.

What OD said. In some states she could have lost her license for gettin caught with broken seatbelts. She's damn lucky all she did was get banged up.

yeah, she is.  she even admits that it was stupid that she was driving with her seat belts not working.  

Truth be told though, you really only have a 50/50 chance with seatbelts but wearing them is still the law. I know people who were killed in a car accident that actually would have had a better chance NOT wearing a seatbelt. Pretty screwy but what can ya do. Seatbelts are seatbelts. Airbags scare the shit out of me though. They either don't work correctly or work too well. Either way you're screwed.

her seatbelt clips in, but it won't lock up every time like its suppose to.
