Some teenagers tend to think that they are exempt from anything bad happening to them when they are driving or are a passenger in the car. This is most definitely not the case. Car crashes can happen to anyone at any time – even celebrities!
An example of this is actor Miles Teller, who you may know from the Divergent series movies, Whiplash, The Spectacular Now, and more. When he was 20 years old and still in college, he was involved in a car crash. His friend was driving his car and went to change lanes, noticed a car there, so he quickly jerked the steering wheel the other way to over compensate for the mistake, which resulted in them flipping the car 8 times! They were travelling 80mph, which is the equivalent to 128.7kmh. Miles was ejected from the vehicle and landed about 50 feet away from it. He was covered in blood and not moving, and his friend thought he was dead. Fortunately, they all survived.
Miles has many scars on his face as a result, and he still even has rocks in his face that doctors suggested not taking out as it would result in more scarring. He had staples in his shoulder, but looks really good considering his near brush with death.
The fact that he got ejected from the car suggests that he was not wearing a seatbelt. Had he been wearing one, he would not have been ejected from the car. Most people would not have survived such a crash.
Whether a driver or a passenger, you need to be safe and aware of your surroundings. Everyone in the car needs to be wearing a seatbelt properly, the driver always needs to look multiple times before changing lanes, and never over compensate for a lane change.
