CTB via head-on collision with a semi?

[PepeneRosu]

Hello everyone! Lately I've been fantasizing CTB by smashing my car into an oncoming Semi Truck.

I know that there are other options that are more reliable and that wouldn't endanger others, but considering the weight and size difference between a semi and a regular ~1.3 ton hatchback, I don't think that it would really put the truck driver at risk. It would also ensure that I won't survive the impact, unlike crashing into a tree or a wall. The car itself is quite old and barely has any safety features.

How fast would I need to go to ensure my death, but also the safety of the other driver? Should I just try something else? I don't have any firearms available and the thought of hanging doesn't sit right with me.

Thanks.

A girl from a town close to me did it via the wall of her school. Without a seatbelt, at the right speed, it would be enough. A hwy overpass wall would allow you to hit a good speed and you wouldn't traumatize anyone. Blood thinners wouldn't hurt before hand either.

Plus, they could lose their job, could potentially get charged, they could lose their license and their entire livelihood, but regardless they'll be affected. Heaven forbid they cause another accident, hurting themselves or someone else.

Trust me, I had about 10 witnesses to my last attempt. I shattered my spine jumping 30'. I promise you that the physical pain I have experienced over the last 7 years pales by comparison to the remorse and regret I have for what they all witnessed that night and for what they experienced afterwards.

Please don't involve others in your suicide plans in anyway. It is not going to increase your odds and they would only endup physically damaged and mentally scarred.

What did the trucker do to you that you had to traumatize him or her in the process, or even kill the driver?

So no, I used to be a truck driver, and shit like that is uncalled for. It was bad enough with people jumping in front of me and slamming on their brakes, and I'm trying to avoid slamming into them.

Do not use your planning to involve innocent people.

Should never involve other people.

I personally know a guy in real life who hit a concrete wall at almost 100mph head on in a CTB attempt.

Not only can he still walk, but he's a good runner. Was in a coma for like 2 months and took years to get better... but not that reliable I'd reckon. Cars are too safe.

The truck driver may swerve and injure themselves or other people on the road.

It's still gonna be traumatic for the other driver and he may sustain some injuries. Of you really wanted to go that way then you could just crash into a wall or something without involving someone else.

Think of the other driver man.

I've thought about this a lot. I've gone out and driven back road highways many nights hoping this plan would play out. I had a few opportunities to cross over in the other lane and finalize my plans. The sole reason I never could is because I didn't want to potentially harm someone else. The thought of causing physical or emotional damage to anyone else immediately made me change any plans I had. Long story short, don't chose that method. I get the appeal of it. Seems like a simple solution, but it's not. These feelings and thought are own our journey to take and it shouldn't involve another.

How are you doing these days?

I'm here lol. I definitely regret the decision I made back then. I did things back asswards; I tried therapy and meds post-attempt. I can see the potential I once had and the life that I snuffed. Now that I've got the emotional/mental resources to succeed, I don't have the physical ability to back it up.

I'm not trying to talk anyone out of anything. I have PTSD and BPD, I know how hard that mental illness makes life. I know we all have different reasons and experiences that brought us here. I'm just pleading with you all to try to do it in a way that you do not inadvertently invite a new member to this website.
Chances are that you'll miss every asshole on the road that actually deserves it; we all know how the universe fucks the good, well-intentioned people.of the world.

Hey, yeah, truck driver here. Please don't do that...

I get the fantasy, I really do, but just no.
