German Safety video...

hahaha holy crap!
it reminds me of that "red asphalt" video they make teens watch before they get their driver's liscence.:grin:
 
I think i gave this thing too boring of a title...nobody's looking at it.

There are actually some cool shots in it.
 
I sure hope it is.....they can't be that crazy in germany can they?

I guess they do have the autobahn though.

I wonder how many people get killed on that thing every year.
Europeans sure are different (Not that theres anything wrong with that).
 
The autobahn has .71 deaths per million drivers and US Interstates it's .83 deaths per million.

Or you can call it 7.2 deaths per billion vehicle miles on the autobahn and 8.4 deaths per BVM on the US interstates.

Statistically you are 17% safer driving 100+ mph on the autobahn then you are driving 65 on a US interstate.

I say if you want to cut down ROAD RAGE then get the F out of the passing lane!
 
Well heres a quote:

Accident rates: Despite the general high speeds, the accident, injury, and death rates on the Autobahn are remarkably low. The Autobahn carries about a third of all Germany's traffic, but injury accidents on the Autobahn account for only 6% of such accidents nationwide and less than 12% of all traffic fatalities were the result of Autobahn crashes(2004). In fact, the fatality rate (3.2 per billion km in 2004) is consistently lower than that of most other superhighway systems, including the US Interstates.

That vid is hilarious. I can't believe they spent so much money on a training video. And that a company actually signed off on them doing all that.

Ditto.

And it's not a Flash problem. Other flash sites work fine for me.

Hardly any accidents on the autobahns.

But when there is one, it's usually a 200 car pileup.
 
I hope you left a generous amount of that diced foam in your car!

I can't believe you didn't see more comedy in that... some guy loadin' his car up as fast as possible off this pile of diced foam on an airbase... and then speeding off only to get in an autobahn pile-up... then he's the ONE guy who jumps out of the mangled wreck with not so much as even a headache. That would make a really funny short... and it would be hard to explain it to everybody. I can guarantee everyone would be trying to put the blame on you.
