[QUOTE="InEMplease"] Best case scenario.

BranKetra

You greatly overestimate 5-10 mph. Do you run away from hayrides?

Why can't I build up speed to 10mph? really under this 5-10mph is dangerous logic hayrides are a big risk to our children.

They were going 5-10 mph, and that curve flys by you in a fraction of a second.

You need to get behind the wheel some more. If it ever takes me 5-10 seconds to stop in a emergency there better be either something stopping me from getting to the brake peddle or the brakes give way. These arent highway speeds were talking about. Your not going to have much trouble stopping and the "whiplash" would be little to none at 5-10mph. She would roll to grandma, thats about it.

Or simply be surprised by one of the many curve balls life throws at you.

5-10 seconds? That is one hell of a curve ball to inhibit your reaction time that much.

[QUOTE="BranKetra"]Regardless, it was involved. BranKetra

Yes, but Oleg I believe was arguing a hypothetical situation without the alcohol. He was saying it really wouldn't of been that bad had they not been drinking. Now that is overlooking the fact that there may be other cars on the road but regardless the dragging the child behind for 5 - 10 seconds is just a ridiculous time frame for anyone who knows how to put a foot on a brake and isn't intoxicated to the point of being completely oblivious of what is going on around them.

I agree

I say anyone that sits behind the wheel of a vehicle should expect the unexpected, especially when "Towing" their 7 year old grandchild.

InEMplease

I'm merely debating a very specific portion of this in a similar hypothetical without alcohol and that is the dragging the child part. It is very far fetched to think that a sober person aware of their surroundings is going to keep driving for 5-10 seconds. You would have to have the reaction time of a rock.

[QUOTE="BranKetra"] There are too many variables to make this okay on a street. Besides, the driver had previous DUIs so who knows what that fool would do.BranKetra

I agree that this should of been done in a driveway or private property with someone that is actually allowed to be operating a motor vehicle but I think the them dragging the child arguement is a bit weak if alcohol wouldnt of been involved. I used to be pulled round in my little car by my grandpa on his tractor. That was about 5-10 mph

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]Right and by the time the car would come to a stop the kid would already have been dragged for a good 5-10 seconds.

BranKetra

At 5-10 mph I doubt the raction time to stop the car would be very great. Hardly 5-10 seconds.

Gets her leg caught in the powerwheels, is dragged far enough to remove all the skin from knees/elbows.

Pirate700

Dragged? Grandma was right there with her to tell Grandpa "stop, she fell off". The alcohol is the ONLY reason she was in any real danger.

[QUOTE="Andrew_Xavier"] It isn't ringing any bells? The father continually makes comments about having sex with the daughter in various episodes...I'd link but I'd be banned.themajormayor

Meg? They hate meg.

That's not funny btw. Maybe for one episode but that's it

It's hit and miss. Funny sometimes but yeah they are pretty much beating a dead horse with it. But I don't write or make the show. Maybe you should tell MacFarlane about it?
