It would certainly be very effective to traumatize the driver for life, train drivers who is at a higher risk at usually have set procedures and crisis counseling for dealing with such an event. The driver of either a truck or a car don't, and it may also result in economic damages to the vehicle.

As for how effective it is, it depends. One lucky move and your head will crush under the wheel making the death instant, one bad move and it will knock you on the side possible with some limb crushed. The method have far to many variables since the driver will try to steer away from you or breaking.

Either way if you successfully die or survive the driver will be traumatized, possibly ruining their life. Don't bring innocent people in your decision and look for an another way.

The driver could crash and be killed trying to avoid hitting you. It has happen many times... please find another way.

The train method is far more likely to be effective, and there's no chance of any real casualities where as you could cause a car crash with jumping in front of a car/truck which could leave people injured.

With train at least it's only the drivers mental health you have to worry about, which makes it a questionable option.

I am considering the train option but definitely not car option.
Also car have greater ability to break and stop sooner and it's less likely to kill you.

As a driver, if something like this ever happened to me, I would forever blame myself for it, even if I knew the person wanted to die. If you want to ctb that's fine, but don't ruin other people's lives during it, it's just selfish. I know a man who hit someone with his car (it was very likely someone trying to ctb, not an accident) and over 20 years later he still talks about it sometimes. It can fuck up people for life.
There are definitely better methods than this.

Please don't drag unknowing people into your suicide. You don't know their history of how stable they are. Even the most mentally stable person would be traumatized for life. Their car would most likely be ruined from the impact of your body and they may well not have the financial means to replace it. What if you stop a driver on the way to the hospital to visit their sick child? Or someone on the way to work who would lose their job if they miss one more day? There are so many reasons to not do this no matter how desperate to leave you are.

Why would you risk other people's lives?

Japan had the right idea on this method for sure.

I could never agree with putting someone else at risk so I could CTB. There are so many peaceful methods available.

You can die that way, but there are so many variables that it's not a very reliable method. A boy from my school threw himslf in front of a bus, to try to escape repeated sexual abuse by a priest, but he survived. Now probably in his 80s (if he is still alive - I last heard from him about 10 years ago) he is still inconvenienced by the injuries he sustained.

You also have to consider the trauma that the driver would experience.

The driver could be prosecuted and put in jail over this, it is the worst method I've seen here yet. Please don't do this.

ive said it before, i dont find any reason to make my potential last moments someone elses personal hell. dont involve unwilling witnesses in your death. there is a big difference between finding a body by chance and being the one to cause it to be "a body".

 

[Linda]

Oh wow, when you said your PFP was a representation of how you felt I thought that was coming from someone in maybe her 50s, definitely not 70s or early 80s. You might just have the honour of being the eldest member

I'm 70. The boy I mentioned in my post was at the same school as me a decade or so earlier, and I only learned about his experiences, and exchanged a few posts with him, some 10 - 15 years ago, via a blog run by another boy from that school,, also a decade older than me, who exposed the sexual abuse that had happened at the school in his time. (I saw no evidence of any sexual abuse at that school in my time, and though that doesn't prove there was none, it couldn't have been happening on the same scale as in previous years.)

I got run over because I jumped into a car and well... it didn't work out.

 

[MyChoiceAlone]

just any street or a freeway? will you be able to recognize how fast they are coming?
