And no, you cant stop, hit them both, jump out of the car, eject, fire front missiles, find the gap between them, release your parachute after going off the bridge, lay down the horn and hope the boy racer goes into the elderly couple, shine a laser beam into the boy racer's eyes hoping he swerves off the bridge ect... you only have them *3* choices!

I would hit the boy racer and i would feel no remorse,as it was his stupidity that got him killed.

sorry that the fact that they were elderly effected my choice, but if it had been a couple of little kids i would have probably flew off the bridge, as the remorse the "boy racer" held for knowing that he killed me would probably weigh heavy on his conscious and in return bring change.. also if i took out the elderly couple i would become an advocate against street racing and the likes and the world would be a better place :P..

I want a "Glance of the side of the boy racer, sending him over the bridge to certain death, then rebound into the old couple, killing both of them, then remain on the bridge safely." option.

This should be an option.

Untill then, i would mow down the old couple. Its the only opton that allows me to survive.

If it was, stop the car, suck off the boyracer, then have a lemonparty with the old couple, but then survive, this would still be my choice.

I picked swerve off the bridge. Hoping that I would survive the crash. But who am I kidding, old people need to die.

Retired... Now I know how it feels to quit NM and troll forums.

Is there a way to kill the old people and the guy without dying?

Give a yank on the steering wheel and use my hand brake, then drift sideways on both lanes. The back of the car will take out the biker, and the old squishy people would be taken out by the front of my vehicle, leaving me intact.


But in reality, I wouldn't know, it will most likely be a reflex. So if I saw the biker first, I'd prolly mow down the elderly people and vica versa.

Edit: Also on roads that are long enough where you can get up to 120mph, I can't picture any sidewalk next to it. Not around here anyways. Sounds to me like the elderly couple are crossing a freeway.

Evil question, Joanna! I probably won't have time to make a logical choice in the heat of the moment, so instinctively I'll probably just slam on the brakes and brace myself and just hope my airbag saves my face. With an impact speed of over 100mph though, the chances of survival are slim at best... even if my car survives, the G-forces will rip me to shreds.

Logically, I'd probably drive off the bridge given those choices, otherwise I'd also try to escape from the car, preferably before I hit the water below... if it is water and not the M25.

If it was a biker, then yes, you probably could aim to impact him on the passenger side of your car, and you would probably kill him and live.

However in the original question I never mentioned a biker - i said a boy racer. Boy racers tend to drive highly cosmetically modified cheap cars at fast speeds, not ride bikes.

I agree it would most likely be a quick reflex, but being in a few car wrecks (was only driving in one) time really does slow down extensively... kinda blacked out when i rolled, but prior to that it was like "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhitttttttttttttttttttttttttt" for more time that could have actually elapsed... anyways, it would probably come down to which way the car went after i gave the wheel a quick jerk to the left.. leaving my passenger side vulnerable, and most likely my vehicle would roll and i would very likely die... but given the preempted options i would probably take the selfish route and survive...

realistically you dont think, your instincts take effect, making you swerve in the path of the couples

I'd feel like nuts taking having the lives of two people on me. I would feel a sense of joy knowing my last actions on this Earth were taking out a mooseing faggoty potato arse dickweed. I'd line up the boy racer with a smile on my face.

Sadly, I would take out the old couple. They could die together, which is what every old couple wants anyways.
