It would be a hell of a lot easier to train the driver who caused the
accident in the first place to look where the hell she's going than to
train someone how to drive 50+ mph with half her wheels in the median,
and the other half in the crap that's on the shoulder.

Maybe, but both are skills necessary for safe driving.  sh.t happens.  You
don't need to be knocked off the road by someone not looking where they are
going.  Your wheels can leave the paved surface for many reasons.  Maybe you
hit a patch of ice/oil/gravel, etc.  Maybe you were momentarily distracted
and turned too far, or not far enough.  Maybe you swerve to miss a dog.
Maybe your tire blows, causing steering to get a bit wobbly.  Whatever,
there are many causes of wheels leaving the paved surface that are not at
all related to OTHER drivers.  You need to know how to handle that
situation.  The SUV driver didn't know, and thus she destroyed an SUV,
specifically because she lacked a very BASIC driving skill.  She's lucky she
didn't kill herself.

If two wheels drop off a paved surface, you need to slow down (but
don't -brake- unless absolutely necessary to save your life).  After you've
slowed down to a reasonable speed to accomplish a sudden turn, you need to
re-enter the road surface suddenly, at a sharp angle (and be prepared to
straighten out the vehicle after it's back on the road).  You might actually
have to move your wheels FARTHER off the road surface to accomplish this.
This will give you space to turn your vehicle so that your (off-road wheels)
hit the paved surface at a sharper angle.  The sharp angle is to prevent
your wheels from getting caught on the edge of the paved road.  If the
wheels catch the edge of the road, it can cause the vehicle to slide
sideways, and possibly roll over.

What the girl in the video did is tried to re-enter the road immediately, at
a high rate of speed.  This was likely a panic reflex.  A properly trained
driver wouldn't have panicked.

So it didn't help that the SUV was knocked off the road by another bad
driver.  But a properly trained driver would have driven through the
situation, with nothing more than some scratched paint, where the two
vehicles contacted each other.  -Dave

I agree. Had the driver of the car been paying attention, the accident
would have never happened.

The blame is twofold. Obviously the driver who hit the crash "victim"
deserves his/her full share of the blame. However, the "victim", had
they stayed awake in driver's ed, would have come out of this without
having to roll their SUV. Any moron stupid enough to drive an SUV and
isn't prepared to deal with such "emergencies" deserves the fate they
receive. Actually, any vehicle will do, but SUV drivers more so due to
the fact they purposely choose a vehicle with a high center of gravity
which means they had better be prepared for such emergencies.

That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Yes, driver training
for the driver who caused the accident, but even so, the "victim" in
this case SHOULD have had driver training before she ever put her key
in the ignition. You never can tell when a deer or moose, who hasn't
had driver's ed, might jump out in front of you and you have to be
prepared to SAFELY compensate.

I believe there's many people who were the initial cause of accidents who
just keep on going,not realizing what they just did. I speculate this may
be a major cause of those "crossover" head-on collisions;where the vehicle
"loses control" and crosses over into oncoming traffic with horrific
results. Usually the crash victim does not survive to tell us why they
"lost control".

In this particular case,the woman was operating a vehicle beyond her
abilities with a much lower tolerance for error.

Yes,they are.Much worse than a regular auto.
People have been misled into thinking that they "drive just like a car".

The "no clue" part was her driving back onto the raised pavement without
slowing down first.
