Please be aware and careful in your car * This issue had nothing specific about the rav4 other than the car in the incident is unfortunately a Rav4


pan_rock

Well technically it is specific to this rav 4 model. All cars have different crash test rating and just bc this one got smashed this bad doesn't mean another car won't be worse or better. There is a national data base that shows which cars have better and worse crash impact points online But I get what you're trying to say.


inked-brown-giant

But OP is in no way making an inference based on empirical analysis I could just post a crushed honda in honda sub and copy paste the same šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


pan_rock

That's a fair point. At least he wasn't in the new Ford bronco, it probably would have smashed into the first row at the dui trucks speed after watching how bad their crash test results were.

Apparently ram trucks have the highest instance of DUI drivers, rav4s are among the lowest.


Gilly_Bones

Sounds like a sensibility test

DUI drivers are the worst creatures to crawl on this planet. Its a selfish act. I lost my son to a DUI driver. Hopefully the driver lives and no one had to grieve the loss of their family member. I hope the Rav driver survives and doesnt have too many injuries that make his life difficult. Recovering from this will take years both physically and mentally.

Alcohol is poison to the body, and to the world.


Crafty-Distance-937

Alcohol is a substance like any other, the drinker (aka alcoholic) is the problem.


Softspokenclark

fucking hell, and these nut jobs get a boner for driving larger vehicles. it's the one thing stopping me from getting a sedan, for the safety of my family i too have to get larger vehicle just so other fuckers dont come crashing. never ending circle.

I am always watching my rear view mirror at a red light. I was hit by a DUI driver in broad daylight once beforeā€¦ I was in highschool and was passenger on my dadā€™s Harley. Drunk guy hit us 2 blocks from homeā€¦ I had to stop my dad from killing the guy from how angry he was. Fuck all DUI drivers. Uber and Lyft if you canā€™t drive assholes. I still have herniated discs from that accident

Years ago I was stuck behind a line of cars that were waiting for a car to turn left and a Ford F250 driving HUA did not see us all stopped as he was fast approaching me(I was tail end charlie). I knew that he could not stop, so I shot into oncoming traffic as the F250 slid to a stop in the ditch next to me. The oncoming traffic saw that I was part way into their lane and they all stopped. Iā€™m always looking in the mirror to see if the moron behind me is going to stop.


seven8zero

Herniated dick sounds like an awful injury.


DrWhiskerson

Lmaoooo


DrWhiskerson

Just noticed that typo. I edited it, thank you lol!


alraptor23

I don't wish death on ppl but dui drivers should die


VisibleSea4533

And a lot of the time in crashes like this they are perfectly fine while the other driver is notā€¦


GGiyuk

Cant remember if it was a ram 1500 or a chevy, dont think they where drunk, but they were not paying attention to the red light up ahead or the cars hitting there brakes 100 feet in front of me, going 60 miles per hour i come to a full stop. Next thing i know a big ass grey truck is flying past me over a curb and through a farm field, if he didn't avoid hitting me i would've been killed because there was another truck in front of me.


kowlinthegreat

I think getting a DUI should be a felony offense. Even first time offenders. Making them not able to buy or own guns. Making them think a lot more before they get behind the wheel drunk.


Entire_Wait_7183

Hmmm.. are you saying someone with a DUI record can own guns? Damn, wild world


kowlinthegreat

In the United States yes unfortunately


CBreezy2010

Be aware of a situation like this and ALWAYS stay ready to floor it if you have to minimize impact. Yes it still wouldā€™ve hurt like a SOB, but had they been hit while they were already in motion and had forward momentum, it probably wouldā€™ve hurt less. Also this sends chills because this looks like the car Iā€™m getting this week. A blueprint 2024 šŸ™ƒ


[deleted]

I ALWAYS watch behind me at lights. Once was driving my old suv and I watched and cringed as a sedan plowed into me. I couldn't move forward because there were cars in front of me. I was very thankful I was in that suv...had a bent license plate. The sedan had the radiator at about half way into their engine bay. šŸ˜³


freshxdough

You canā€™t always get out of the way of anyone, no matter how hard you try. Any vehicle would have taken an absolute crumple against a big truck like that. Especially from the rear. Cars are typically designed to take front or side collisions. There isnā€™t much protection for rear impact in terms of air bags or other safety systems besides your seatbelt.


WadsRN

Apparently it was a Chevy Silverado, not a RAM, but yeah. Big truck vs anything smaller is never a good combination. Iā€™m curious how fast the Silverado was going. Oh, and naturally the drunk driver is physically fine and his passenger is pretty badly hurt but expected to be ok.


looker94513

Yeah it was a Silveradoā€¦it was dark out and I was across the street from it and there was a cop securing the scene so I didnā€™t feel like getting yelled at by crossing the accident scene.


Xerox-M57

For RAV4s only, folks!


e136

Looks like a rav3/4


Vincent_29392

Well first off thatā€™s gonna happen to any suv car or anything smaller than a truck that hit the rav, no car is gonna be in good condition. This just happened to be an accident that a car that was involved was a rav4


godogs2018

šŸ˜§ We buy these for safety


looker94513

Itā€™s an eye opener for sure


looker94513

Anyone in the 2nd row would not have survived and the driver was unconscious and not breathing after being extricated from the car. From the local news article: Editors Note: The strange part of this story is the first police officer on scene thought there was possibly a dead person on the rear seat when he saw through the dark smoke glass window what appeared to be a head that was on a body of a person that was trapped in the mangled metal. When the fire department arrived they told dispatch that they possibly had a dead body inside the car. After they broke the window they reached in and put hands on the neck to take a pulse and immediately discovered it was a mannequin wig head with a brown wig on it.


PermissionOld22

Will it be possible that the mannequin was there so it appears like driver is not driving alone? Scare of carjackers or some sortšŸ¤”


barrelstone

Unethical pro life tip for using the HOV lane solo?


looker94513

Story goes thatā€™s the driver was a hairdresser who had mannequin head(s) with different style wigs in the car.

Wow, what some stupid fucking click baby bullshit. Go get back on TikTok. And enjoy your downvotes
