This video best illustrates two points. First is that any kind of careless act is dangerous to the public, and second is that potentially female drivers are bad drivers. The video opening shows a driver pull up to the ticketing machine and tries to insert a ticket into it so s/he can leave the parking garage. This person then tries to squeeze a bit closer to the ticketing machine since s/he is a bit far from it. But the person let go of the brake pedal and the Mercedes-Benz ram the stopping apparatus. This is just one example of careless driving. The driver could of just put the car on park and get out of the car to insert the ticket or money but they didn't think about such a consequence at first. So lack of conscience lead the driver to ran over the apparatus. This video provides evidence for the argument. And what is even worst is the fact that this is a hit and run. The driver only cares about the car and not worrying much about damaging public property. The person and a friend got out of the vehicle and check for damage on the vehicle and not even once go ober and leave a note regarding the damaged apparatus. This is important to prove a point that without the authority carelessness is often leave unpunish. This reminds me of two weeks ago a similar events happen while I was at the Nine Miles parking garage. This driver tries to pull a truck out of parkind and hit the car on the right. The driver look around for any cops or authorities before making a hit and run. The driver was also a female.

The second point of the picture is that females are generally bad drivers. If the driver of the vehicle was a male then there is no such argument. But the fact that audience realized that the driver was a female contribute to the the second persuasive point. This video uses the logos rhetorical appeals with proof that the two of the obove points. There is no irony or humor but only reasoning. The fact that the video is only a visual, I can only analyze it with what I see.

This clip is really interesting. I didn’t know if there was suppose to be sound because I couldn’t hear anything, poor car. I wonder what that lady was trying to do. She should have just parked her car and did whatever she needed to do. I think it’s funny how they reversed their car after they ran into that box. Then the driver and her friend hopped out of the car and went towards the front of the car to see if any damage is done. Funny clip!
