Never take any internet image seriously without further proof - like a news story - "Oma fährt über Geschäftsmann!"

At least not if the picture is as obvious a fake as this example! I could have done that better with a magic marker..

As for the original posting.. I believe it's real.
Now i'm no expert on this. But there is absolutely nothing in that picture that indicates altering of any kind. And why on earth would anyone spend many many hours faking a picture like this? What would be the point?

I believe it's a genuine photo from red light camera.
Unfortunately pedestrians do get run over by red light runners once in a while. And with the increasing number of red light cameras, pictures like this are bound to be taken.

If it is a fake, it was done by someone that understands the physics of a pedestrian front corner/side impact. The windshield damage is textbook.

real or not, it gives a good idea of what a bug goes through when it hits the windscreen. . . .

Stupidity knows no party lines:

Two days after stepping down from his U.S. House seat, South Dakota Republican, Bill Janklow, 64, learned his fate in a courtroom in his hometown of Flandreau. Circuit Judge Rodney Steele sentenced him to 100 days in jail and three years of probation for his conviction on charges of second-degree manslaughter, speeding, running a stop sign and reckless driving.

Waiting for your reply, VirginaDude.

Don't hold your breath

On July 25, 1969, Senator Edward Kennedy pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of a crime and was sentenced to a two-month suspended jail sentence.

I'm with you Austins, but unfortunately some folks only have one tool . . . and you know the old saying . .

You being part of the latter group?

Really though, this post is about a guy getting creamed by a granny in a Benz....not mindless political yammering. Dontcha think we got enough of those kinds of posts floating around in the open forum? I guess some people don't feel like their day is complete unless they throw in their self-righteous political rant on something...

Now, back to the ol' feller gettin' creamed..........
