Look at the guy in the pink shirt at the start. He sees her get hit and pushes his children away to hide. :lol: He helped her after but that was so baffling.
Not that baffling, if she'd been seriously hurt / killed you kinda want your kid to see as little of it as possible.

Watch it until the end, you've got to admit she's getting better.

It's not baffling at all, but the most natural reaction to have. Who wants their kids to see anything like that, it's potentially a death for all he knows? I wonder what - if anything - goes through Suli's mind.

What an idiot. Er... yellow submarine.
You know the worst part? The Beatles had a song called "Slow Down" and no one even thought to use it. :(

Maybe he thought she would try and run into it again.

He should have sounded his horn, sure she would have heard a good beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah.

The worst part is obviously when the woman and the car Come Together...In My Life, I've never seen anything like it.

Nah, it actually is better to get your vehicle out of the way so that when the emergency vehicles arrive they have the room they need.
That isn't logical at all. There is an immediate danger of the woman getting run over by another car. If you move your car, what's stopping the cars behind from hitting her again? You can still move your car as soon as the immediate danger is over, which will still be plenty of time before the Ambulance comes.

At least she was ok and life goes on, la-la-la-la-life goes on.

I definitely knew that. I was going to use it but thought I'd let someone else have the glory. Disappointment all round, really.
Money (That's What She Wants) - is another missed opportunity.

I know the video was fuzzy, but did you notice all the people who were around her after she got hit. Pretty sure they would be a good deterrent to the woman getting hit again. It actually makes sense to move you car out of the way in most situations, there are of course variables that play into this.

yes the people do not come up until after he moves his car. But where she was on the street, his car being there was not going to prevent her from being hit by say a car coming the other way or another car coming from behind trying to get around him.

In this case, don't see anything wrong with what the driver did.

If he'd hit her any harder there could have been bits of her Here, There and Everywhere.

How can you laugh when you know she's down?

Fool on Primrose Hill, which is close to Abbey Road. True story.

It's not as if it's on a Long And Winding Road, she could clearly see the car approaching!

Nobody was surrounding her when he drove off, that's the whole point. The highest danger of her being struck again is in the next 10 seconds after the first incident. All he had to do was wait one minute for people to come and there'd be no danger of her getting hit again. Instead, he drove off, leaving her alone and exposed in the road, the cars behind might not see her until it's too late.

Have you seen Polythene Pam? She's so good looking then she's hit by a car.

You can see a shatter of glass on the floor afterwards. Guessing that She Came In Through The Driver's Side Window.
