Reply With QuoteGood call. Can also recommend a safety seat belt cutter within easy reach. Can save peoples life when pre-tensioners trap someone in their seat.
Can I just also ask a small thing from everyone.
The presence of a first aid kit, or at the very least some latex gloves makes the world of difference at these events should you come across one. And if nothing else the first aid kit is useful for a stash of bandaids for when you stub your toe in thongs! They're incredibly cheap and take up no room in the car, so if you don't have one, I emplore you at least consider one

Great addition especially seeing as you can pick one up with a window punch for $15. Could save a lifeOriginally Posted by ChrisMaz
It's scary reading that, because I used to do that all the time when I was on my P's(not fall asleep at the wheel!!)
Hope Amy and her Mum work through it. Condolences to the families involved.

Yeah after reading what everyone has said, I'm going to buy a first aid kit for the car... just in case.
All it takes is just 1 second.................... no one should have to witness these unfortunate events and it just shows that accidents, these type in particular, can happen at any time. All the best.

Definitely good advice...
I have a first aid kit and fire extinguisher and other items in all of my cars.

Ain, mate I hope your girlfriend and her mother are OK. Having seen more than one accident (and more than one death) I know how it can shake you up.
There is no advice that helps post fact except to say be careful and always watch for the 1% of idiots out there. And totally agree a first aid kit with a proper seat belt cutter and window punch is a must!! I carry them in my race and road cars. If you've ever been stuck in a car after an accident, you'd know its a cheap way to save your life!!

The other thing is not just owning a first aid kit, but knowing how to use it effectively.
First aid courses cost about $80 for a full days CPR and basic trauma training with St Johns. Well worth it.
Not to mention plenty of jobs these days require you hold a first aid certificate, so it looks good on a resume.
