    Would you sit into a car with someone who was involved in a serious car crash before and survived? Would you avoid travelling with them especially if they crash due to something minor? Would you make up your mind based on the drivers ability? Or would you treat it as being just hard luck or that it could happen anyone?

    Opinions.

    It depends why the crash happened? Were they under the influence/ driving recklessly, or was it something out of their control?

    If the former, I'd feel uneasy, if the latter then yes.

    Something out of their control like avoiding an animal unexpectingly.

    Well, I'll give my opinion inanyways.

    Coming from a transport background, I know many people that have been involved in collisions(I hate the word accident) that have ubfortunately resulted in fatalities, even multiple fatalities, and I would have no problem getting into a vehicle with them.

    There are others I wouldn't trust on a lawnmower. Every incident is different, every person is different, you can't just make a yes or no judgement on something like that.

    Well then, why not? Or do you have some sort of superstition that someone who had a crash before will have one again?

    Anyone can crash.

    They'd probably be safer, since they know what can happen and have nearly died. It's the fookin cocky 18 year olds ya have to look out for.

    If I was in a scummy inner city area late at night and had to walk home I'd get into a car with a chimpanzee.

    If I had a daylight walk in good weather of about 4 miles I might think about it.

    Honestly, it wouldn't even cross my mind. If I'm in a car and I'm concerned with the driver's driving, I'll point it out to them. Unless I don't know them well, in which case I'll just stay quiet in eager anticipation of the end of the journey.
