Good move on the state’s part. If people saw the reality in what happens instead of the sanitized and sterile versions that have no 'shock value', maybe they would learn to follow the rules of the road, obey traffic laws by using crosswalks and not walking when they are supposed to waiting, etc. It is better to arrive a few minutes late then not at all or paralyzed, maimed and disfigured. I think society and the world would be a better place if we televised and showed all of the gruesome details of executions, auto accidents and the like. We seem to have an innate want and desire to see what has happened in all of its gory detail as evidenced by the instantaneous onset of rubber-neck syndrome that occurs whenever and wherever there is an accident or mishap somewhere. I say let them see the mangled bodies, the blood and the gore. I believe that all teenagers before they are allowed to get or as a part of getting their driver’s license should have to go to a morgue, see the end result of a joy ride, drunk driving and not obeying and following the rules of the road and witness an autopsy. They should also have to go to a nursing facility where they would need to see what happens to those that survive and can no longer care for themselves. Maybe then they will learn and understand that they are not invincible and that they are wrong; it can happen and does happen to people their age and it could be them. It should also be made a part of the renewal process for all drivers. Adults and long-term drivers become complacent and settle into a routine. They need to be brought out of their routine and shaken up a bit. People need to learn that if they play then they will have to pay.
