From the video I learned that you have to be careful with the people you choose to not only hang around but the people you get in the car with bc your life can change drastically in an instant
i agree with this because life is only once and why live it doing risky things and why not choose friend’s that stay out of trouble and wouldn’t put you in-that situation
I learned that you life can happen at you real fast and one decision can reshape your whole life so you have to go everyday with positive decisions. Is the decision going to benefit me or not. In the video you can see the friend did not want to be apart of his mess so the friend pulled over and let him get out and go. If he didn’t do that he would have died because bad place at the wrong time. To avoid this you have to pick your friends wisely and make positive decisions as one decision can reshape everything.
I learned not to be at wrong place at the wrong time
I learned that you have to be extremely careful about who you surround yourself with because any situation like this could happen and your life could potentially be over.
Speeding away from the police is very dangerous and can get you into a lot of trouble. It can cause bad car crashes and hurt you, the police, or other people on the road. Running from the cops doesn’t solve anything—it just makes things worse. If the police try to stop you, the best thing to do is pull over safely and listen to what they say. If you’re nervous or don’t understand why you’re being stopped, stay calm and polite. You can ask questions or deal with it later in a safe way. To avoid situations like this, always follow the rules when driving and don’t panic if you see police lights.
I learned that the people you hang around can cause either positive or bad things on your life that can possibly affect your future.
I learned that hanging around the wrong people can get you places that you dont want to be at and that someone elses decisions could impact you too

From the video I learned that you have to be careful with the people you choose to hand around and how they act, being around the wrong crowd can lead to drastic life changes
1. Don’t speed in front of cop
2. Not easily unless your speeding infront of a cop
3.he would’ve died
4. Don’t speed
5.because if you dont stuff like that can happen
6. Do it cause if you dont you can end up dead
7. No
I learned that you have to make the right choices the first time and you shouldn’t rely on friends and make the right friends especially. Not making the right friends can change your life in a drastic way negatively.
What I learned from this video is that anything can happened that fast that’s why you have to make the right decisions and watch the people u put yourself around
don’t get in the car with just anybody
I gained consciousness and awareness.
I learned that anybody’s life can happen really fast
From the video i learned it is important to pick good friends because life can change in a instant with the wrong people.
what i see wrong is first he runing from gsp on the high way and never took the exit lmao not the best choice
3. What do you think would have happened if the passenger had not asked to get out of the car? I believe the Passenger would of died in the wreckage. Therefore I believe it is important to make the right choices for yourself. You never know what these decisions can lead to.
1. don’t run from the police
Speeding away from the police is very dangerous and can get you into a lot of trouble. It can cause bad car crashes and hurt you, the police, or other people on the road. Running from the cops doesn’t solve anything—it just makes things worse. If the police try to stop you, the best thing to do is pull over safely and listen to what they say. If you’re nervous or don’t understand why you’re being stopped, stay calm and polite. You can ask questions or deal with it later in a safe way. To avoid situations like this, always follow the rules when driving and don’t panic if you see police lights.
I think getting put in a situation like that is very easy because you have no control over what your friends do behind the wheel and if you aren’t with the right person theres no way to get away from the situation.
dont hang around the wrong people cause it could get you in situations you dont want to be in.
I learned from the video that u should know which kind of friends that will leave u in the dust or actually help u along ur life journey. In addition to that u shouldn’t just hop in the car with ur friend cause they called u a scaredy cat or there peer pressuring u to get in.
Dont hang around the wrong people that could get you in situatuions you dont want to be in. And dont run from the police eapecially if your told to stop.
1. Reckless driving escalates quickly and can put everyone at risk.
2. It can happen easily-trusting a driver doesn’t guarantee safety.
3. The passenger might have been caught in a dangerous chase or legal trouble.
4. Be selective about who you ride with and speak up if something feels off.
5. Even as a passenger, decisions made in the moment can affect you.
6. Trusting your instincts can protect you from serious consequences.
7. Ignoring warning signs can lead to trouble, but listening to your gut can prevent it.
It’s not a good idea because it puts other people in danger because of something wrong that you did. It also isn’t a good idea because you’re not taking accountability of what you did wrong which isn’t a good trait to have.
It’s not a good idea because it puts other people in danger because of something wrong that you did. It also isn’t a good idea because you’re not taking accountability of what you did wrong which isn’t a good trait to have. Like I said earlier, your are risking you’re life and other people’s by doing that.
