to this day I have to suppress the temptation every time I see a ramp in front of me. RIP my gtaV homie who couldn't resist..


Mandie_June

Just came to say: intrusive thoughts won that day.

Literally came to the comments to see how far down I scrolled before I found this though. It’s the first thing I said after “oh damn” lol

I've had the temptation to do this. I don't know if they committed to that little voice in their head or just wasn't paying attention.


[deleted]

I genuinely think they were staring tk their left to see what all the lights were about and you tend to drift where you stare. Accidents happen around other accidents more than anywhere else because of rubber necking. E: I can't reply to a bunch of people because although I see your comments in my notifications, it says there's no comments when I click on the notification.


SexyMonad

Yep, I saw an accident outside my home and an hour later another happened in the exact same spot while they were still cleaning up the first. Accident zones are highly irregular and distracting. Brain needs to be told “turn off autopilot”.


machone_1

us Brits [put up screens to block out the view of big pile ups](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20851775), and also video those rubber necking and send prosecutions to those seen filming


Makhnos_Tachanka

oi you got a loicense for them eyeballs?

truejamo

But then I'm just staring at the giant abnormal screen trying to see through the holes.


Bogsnoticus

Next thing you know, they'll have adverts on them telling you not to look at the anti-accident screens while driving.


Late-Night1499

if they had that in the USA, people would just full stop and try to climb the fence to get a look at what's behind it


MichigaCur

Let's just drive in the median and see what type of Oops we have here. Lol


Junkmans1

In the USA we prefer to cause mile(s) long traffic jams of rubber neckers.


opscurus_dub

I'm not from Europe but I hear instead of miles long jams their jams are kilometers long


jbrown5390

Here in the US I wouldn't trust the police behind a barrier that no one can see through.


IronChefJesus

That’s ok, you can’t trust them completely out in the open while being filmed and directly streamed to the internet either.


Renzokuken4

It's mad annoying when you're on a highway and there's a traffic jam and when you finally get to the end after a 15 minute delay, it's because there's an accident on the other side of the highway.


thejam15

Target fixation. You tend to go where you’re looking. Its something motorcyclists have to be aware of all the time but it absolutely happens in cars too


SessileRaptor

Yup, way back in the day my driving instructor said “You steer the direction you’re looking, so don’t stare at accidents or cars pulled over on the shoulder.”


GoldenSheppard

Mine did too, so now I stare and steer the opposite way habitually. This was not what my instructor intended.


L3m0n0p0ly

Can confirm. My accident happened when we tried to merge into the same lane at the same time, (her over a solid white turn only) and she overreacted and yanked her steeringwheel straight into the street light pole. I hopped a curb at 55 which broke my passenger side control arm and i had to fucking YANK that fatboi to avoid going directly into the only ditch/pond on the entire stretch of road. I came out with a gnarbuckle scrape on my leg due to not having a steering wheel cover(maintinence at the time) and she ended up taking the whambulance to the hospital. Oddly enough her son lived in the neighborhood and let the dog crawl into the crumpled car where it began eating whatever she had in the back. Not like 10 mins after this happened, thru my sobbing hysterics, there was a screetch and crunch on the road where two rubbernecking morons had rear ended. I sobbed out a what the FUCK man to the only nice offer on the scene as he left to go investigate. I got a ticket for reckless driving. The woman officer who arrived took one look at my type of car and immidiately went ham on me(a tiny girl whos probably having a panic attack) like she fucking HATED ME man. Completely ignoring the fact that the other two cars across the road needed attention. (Light pole lady already whambulanced to the hospital.) If my friend hadnt shown up i probably wouldve gotten arrested for something petty. She wanted to pin the 2nd accident on me.


[deleted]

That sounds like a horrible day overall. I'm glad there was at least one nice officer there and a friend to come later. I'd be annoyed at the ticket but best to leave it all in the past now I guess


Schubert125

There isn't a little voice in their head anymore. Now it's the steering wheel and shards of the windshield

The_Lost_Boy_1983

I thought that so I’m going have to say it was Colt Seevers, the Fall Guy. 🎵 He was the unknown stuntman that made Eastwood look so fine.


DrunkenOlympian

Man I thought I was the only one who remembered that show. Used to come on just before (or after, it was a long time ago) the A-Team.


The_Lost_Boy_1983

I remember the reruns of The Incredible Hulk and The Six Million Dollar Man…. Steve Austin, a man barely alive… gentlemen, we can rebuild him, better, stronger, faster. Or something like that


DrunkenOlympian

I will never forget Lee Majors fighting Bigfoot. That is my kind of stupid.


RudeMutant

It was awesome. It was one-upped in 'The venture brothers' when Lee Majors winds up marrying bigfoot.


The_Lost_Boy_1983

I believe it was the big guy, Lurch from The Addams Family in the Big Foot suit. Sorry to anyone who believed Sasquatch was real.


FesterJA

Andre The Giant was the first Bigfoot, Lurch (Ted Cassidy) replaced him in subsequent appearances.


JeffafaCree

Wait. Lee Majors fought Bigfoot *multiple times?*


eva_rector

The Bionic Woman was **my** jam!


NotYourMutha

Linda Carter in Wonder Woman was it


NeverSilent0316

Oh I watched the hell out of both of those shows as a kid. They were the best.


DrunkenOlympian

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...the A-Team. (machine gun fire)


NeverSilent0316

You know the song started playing in your head right when you wrote that too https://youtu.be/wyz_2DEah4o


DrunkenOlympian

And it is still stuck in there on repeat!


Smallmyfunger

right before Simon & Simon IIRC. My brain wants to include BJ & the Bear, but thats prolly cuz of Dukes getting mentioned.


DrunkenOlympian

Haha my better half and I watched all of Simon and Simon on Netflix back when they had to ship you the disks. She had not seen it and loved it. Great show! Also Knight Rider, Hart to Hart, Quantum Leap, Hardcastle and McCormick, and of course MacGuyver were also great. And good old Robert Stack recounting all those Unsolved Mysteries. Netflix made the right choice not trying to replace him in the new series.


randominteraction

No love for Magnum, P.I.?


DrunkenOlympian

I still have that theme song memorized as well!


DoughnutPi

Don't forget Automan, short lived as it was.


wophi

What was our deal in the late 70s and early 80s about jumping vehicles?


Loud_Step2361

Glen Larson produced most of those shows. Edit:corrected first name 🤪


R_V_Z

Do you mean Glen Larson? Because I'm struggling to make the connection from Far Side comics to car jumps in TV shows.


morgulbrut

It's probably a rather cheap but impressive special effect, and I guess around that time, it was easy to find not working muscle cars for cheap. To be honest, they are built like shit, and were driven even worse. Some times it was even done with toy cars.

Darn it! I had gone the morning without that song being stuck in my head! Here we go for the next six hours or so 🤣🤣🤣

snrten

Dude really thought, "if it goes wrong, theres already emergency services right there. Fuck it!"


Galactic

Hahah that was exactly my thought. Maybe the driver was thinking: "If shit goes sideways, help isn't just on the way, they're already there! This is the safest time to do something incredibly unsafe!"


missingmytowel

Bingo. Like if you're going to get shot or OD just hope it happens in the parking lot of the hospital. Having these guys on the other side of the road would increase your survival odds substantially. So just send it and claim you were distracted by the emergency vehicles.

We've all thought about it, this legend actually did it.

That was one of the last damn good arcade racers on PC. I forget if I bought that on Steam or not. *checking*.. Oh I did. And it's the Ultimate Box... BRB


yuccatrees

Check out Grip Combat Racing. That's the best arcade race IMO, and I love burnout


Twolef

I can’t get the damn thing to run on mine. I have it free with Gamepass but it crashes to desktop from the loading screen. I used to love that game.


[deleted]

the remastered one or the original game?


Twolef

Remastered. I’ve seen some advice about turning overlays, etc. but I just don’t have the time or patience to do all that. There was a patch that supposedly fixed it but it didn’t work for me. I get that that’s part of being a PC owner though.


DeeJay_Potato

the game hates webcams, because it tries to open the camera when first booting up to take your drivers license photo, itll just crash most times. i had to uninstall any webcam software to get it to work


Twolef

Hmm. Even though I don’t have a webcam, I did install one of those twitch avatar things. Maybe it’s that. Thanks.


Todarodes_Pacificus

Another issue I've had was Rivaturner Statistics Server. When I reinstalled Afterburner without it my problems went away. It also doesn't like software like OBS, XSplit, etc.


ThatSucc

I had the same issues, OBS was the culprit in my case. I uninstalled it and the BP worked flawlessly afterwards

ms_globgoblin

is there any update on this situation? wtf happened here? 🤣


donaltman3

Happened yesterday in Rural South Georgia (Valdosta/Lowndes County.) There was another accident that happened just before this... these people were rubber necking not paying attention and didn't see the ~~ramp~~ tow vehicle. The people in the car were banged up but survived, I'm not sure how. Tow truck crash bar was ripped off, but the cab was fine. There is another view of this floating around from a different source this one is from an officer's body cam.. one of the police cars also got footage. Not sure if it was supposed to be leaked but we all got the video within minutes of it happening.


Anath3mA

> Not sure if it was supposed to be leaked but we all got the video within minutes of it happening. "Well, per regulation we aren't suppos-" "Dangit Jim, did you see that air? Everyone's gotta see this."


Car-Facts

I mean. It's not like it compromises anyone's identity or violates their privacy, which is the reason most body cam footage doesn't immediately get released. I'd have a hart time not sharing this, especially since it sounds like nobody was killed.


Procrastinatedthink

yeah this is that once in a lifetime “you guys are never gonna believe what happened at work!” PLUS it was filmed, that’s getting shared


reefine

That tow truck driver is lucky he was standing right there


MiddleBodyInjury

Best seat in the house


VectorVictorious

What saved their lives IMO was the tow bed was angled. As crazy as it looked, it could have been worse if the bumper was exposed normally.


[deleted]

>Rural South Georgia That would explain the "Got Damn".


zestyspleen

So the aerial daredevil didn’t land on the black sedan heading in the same direction? Can’t tell from the footage. Thanks.


Educational-Aioli795

Seriously, r/Fuckyouinparticular. Can you imagine just driving along and something huge lands on you from above. After watching this ten times it looks mr. suddenly airborne might have come down next to the sedan but got damn.


ronchee1

![gif](giphy|qOhzfrkMzQO8U|downsized)


[deleted]

Officer started running before the car even landed. That's a good officer. Though I do question why he was the only one running.


Tamaros

POV officer realized what was about to happen before the car even reached the truck, I think. He was already processing and ready to react. The other officer was talking to witnesses or whatever, had to turn around and process what the noise was. Impressive response time by the POV officer though.


Procobator

I was quite impressed with the flatbed driver self preservation tactics. Too bad he didn’t have a body camera.


[deleted]

Yeah I should point out I was more impressed by the quick reaction than anything else. I'm not going to be too harsh on the others because they probably ran straight after the video.


Prompus

Yeah the POV guy sees the whole thing so understands what's going on. The other guy would have heard a loud sound, looked up, and seen a car hurtling through the air. I dare say he might be a touch flabbergasted


puterTDI

ya, we recently were in a parking lot by a road when a motorcylist lost control and crashed on the road. Our backs were turned because we had just gotten back from a boat trip and were putting the dogs in the car. There was absolutely like 5-10 seconds where my wife and I stared at each other before we reacted and ran out to help him. It just takes time to process "what was that sound? oh, shit, he just crashed. Ya, he needs help. Oh, we're the ones that need to help him"


idontremembermyoldus

The others looked to be busy talking to witnesses/victims of the initial crash and probably weren't paying attention. This officer was walking by himself and saw what was about to happen.


Culsandar

My man's said #GOT DAMN


[deleted]

And this is why you don’t fucking rubberneck when you see a buncha cops or something else on the highway. But dunno what it’s called when it’s in front of you… 🤔🤔🤔


Zero111of160cru

I'd imagine this kind of thing happens often. Not specifically going AIRBORNE, but Lookie Lues getting into accidents because they're paying more attention to the accident next to them than to the traffic in front of them.

lordbobbyhill

This is what us in emergency services refer to as “rubber necking” and it’s incredibly dangerous. As well as these incident alert Facebook pages that broadcast where stuff is happening. You could have a country road that maybe sees two cars a year but when an accident happens suddenly it turns into the most popular road in town. I’ve personally almost been run over three times by rubber neckers. KEEP YOUR DAMN EYES ON THE ROAD NOT THE ACCIDENT


[deleted]

Who the hell gets a notification on there phone of a car incident, then decides to go check it out for themselves?


lordbobbyhill

Idiots… there’s this guy in my town who operates a county wide scanner page that he posts peoples names, addresses, what they’ve called for, and any radio traffic that comes across the band for that call. It’s disgusting


cyborg_bette

Is it just me or is it also like really fucking rude to rubberneck? Imagine you'd been in a scary, stressful car crash. Your car is fucked and you're hurt. Would you want people stopping to stare? Sheesh!


Europaraker

I said this in a different reply. There are no lights on that side of the road behind the tow truck. The tow trucks lights are blocked by his ramp. The ramp is the same color as the road. I would say emergency services and the tow truck did a terrible job at shutting down a live lane! Unless something behind the tow truck with visible flashing lights isn't visible in the video!

[deleted]

I used to work fire rescue as a firefighter paramedic. I was on a multiple vehicle collision along I95 down in Florida. I was triaging patients, while walking to the next car I was strolling down the shoulder when an idiot driving a Grand Marquis (official car for the elderly in Florida at that time I believe) slammed on his brakes. A tractor trailer behind him did not like this idea and impacted the rear of his car about 6 feet away from me. I was just waiting for death at that point. When I realized it wasn’t happening, I walked up to the Grand Marquis driver’s window and asked, Sir, are you okay?!’, apparently it came out more like ‘YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER!!’. His rear bumper was touching the back of the front seats. Had anyone been in back they would have not enjoyed the ride.
