When is a car not a car? After it runs into a concrete pole on the side of the road. When you look or touch a motor vehicle we tend to think that it is a pretty solid thing and often will take that mind set out onto the road. Quite often people who are out having fun, drinking or are falling asleep at the wheel are prime candidates of running into a concrete pole.
It would be a hard thing to accept that anyone would purposefully run a car into a utility pole when it almost alays will end in the death of the occupants. If you look at the skid marks of a vehicle that runs into one you can wonder if the person had a hold of his faculties. More often than we care to think the driver of the vehicle was a male. Not to say that a male is more likely to be a victim of such an accident but that males somehow always seem to get themselves into death types situations and hardly have the chance to take it back.
Then there are those who go out and use a vehicle like it was a toy. The thing is a vehicle that can drive in excess of 60 miles per hour is not a toy and can bring one to often lethal results. We need to remember our vehicles limitations and ours as well. Because when you drive a car whether it be in traffic or when you are all alone you must know that in all occasions if a vehicle travels at high speed and hits a utility the poles will always be the winner.
Although cars are meant to drive at both low, medium and high speeds the vehicle is most safe if the person driving it has the skill and the control to be able to keep it on the road. So you keep it on the road.
