Extreme Warning While Driving Anytime,please Read.

[mrFDNY]

Hi all,
So at work tonigh,we get a run for a couple of calls on a very bad motor vechile accident on the belt parkway(a big highway in brooklyn)calls say someone is trapped and pinned inside the car and not moving at all.We roll,get there and just a drivers side door that needs a little help being opened,not really a pinn job.We call this a door job.So the driver has a really bad bloody nose and i mean like water pouring bad.So i ask "have your seat belt on?The driver swears he did and that his face did not hit the window or airbags.I kept telling him although he does not remember his face hitting anything it must have and the really bad bloody nose is the proof.Then he comes clean,He a man in his mid 20's was driving doing around 60 mph,and well was picking his nose.He got into the accident the airbags deployed out hit him in the elbow and stuffed his finger that was already stuffed into his nose even deeper.this causing the bloody nose,he seemed very embarrassed by this.Other than the nose he was not hurt.

So remember if your driving faster than 50 and your digging away at your nose and you have airbags,please remove your finger quickly from your nose if you see your about to get into a accident,Other wise you run the risk of having to tell a bunch of strangers in uniform and be very embarrassed.

wonder if he will try to sue the airbag company?

I'm trying not to laugh... so i'm thinking about how much it would hurt....

For some reason this reminded me of the movie with Robin Williams where he had his kids in the car, they got in an accident and he bit his tongue off.

I can't believe the dude didn't lie and say that he was scratching his nose instead of picking it.

All these years I didn't realize I was walking on the wild side by picking while driving....who knew?

They need to include that in the DMV Driver's Pamplet... or at least on the test.

Did you have to dig his finger out of his brain?

I'm sorry, but if i was that guy you'd have to beat that information outta me. I would have NEVER admitted it.

"People strike all primps and poses
but people in public shouldn't pick their noses."

I heard a famous oldtime Hollywood star wrote
this and sent it to another star (1950's or so?)
when he witnessed the act in progress on the road
and the other star didn't know it, think the author was Jimmy Cagney?

Thanks for the warning, mrFDNY.
I've also seen reports about what happens
when airbags slam into sunglasses on the driver's face!

Is it wrong of me to find this kind of funny?

the guy was okay otherwise, I hope.
