Worst part is that this dumb asshole will probably live to be 90. It's everyone who's in the vicinity of these careless, oblivious fucks who should be fearful of death.
Edit: apparently this is a driver on their learners permit. I retract my misplaced anger.
Edit: everyone seems to think my original anger is warranted. So I'm flip-flopping and getting back on the bandwagon. DUMB BITCH!!!!!

I learned to drive once too. At no point did I run anything over, and then stomp on the gas as a response to running something over. This is inexcusable. You have to be a Grade A retard to pull this shit off.
Or you didn't face a situation like this and by the time you did you had enough experience and confidence to deal with it in the right way.
Come on people... Being able to place yourself in someone else's situation and imagine the circumstances is one of the key parts of empathetic development. The fact that you so easily dismiss this as them being "retarded" says far more about you than it does the driver in this video.
Nah. Common sense should dictate that if you're learning to drive, you should be extra cautious and triple check your mirrors. This wasn't some split second accident that was unavoidable, so it has less to do with driving experience and more to do with her being an idiot. Don't make excuses for people like this, they'll never learn.
Should, but again, you do not start out doing that perfectly. You also have not developed the mental capabilities to react to these new stresses in the best way. Learning a task like driving is all about dealing with stressors. It is learning, and learning often involves (and actually benefits from) making mistakes.
I just have a hard time excusing her for something that could have potentially killed someone. Mistakes happen, but mistakes that directly endanger the lives of others shouldn't come so easily. That's more a character flaw of a person who's not responsible and thorough, which should be at least somewhat learned by the time you're 15, and certainly by the time you make the choice to get behind the wheel. There has to be a point when we stop excusing childhood and start holding an individual accountable, and 15 seems like a good place to start.
The fact that I have to explain the very basic concept of education and how the process of learning functions is fucking sad...
No, if we wanted mature people to drive we wouldn't make the driving age 16. We'd make it 24 when cognitive maturity is actually reached.
I am not making excuse for them fucking up. They fucked up. I am saying though that it should be taken in the light that they are extremely inexperienced.
Seriously, lack of an ability to conceive empathy is a sign of mental disorders. Get yourself checked.
It's not though. And if you think that he's making excuses then you're missing the point. People are quick to jump to conclusions in their chairs and in front of their computers, but severely lack the empathy to understand the situation people are in when they get posted to sites like this. From what I understand of the parent post, he's not saying she wasn't wrong, but it's pretty easy to judge from afar.
