Talk:Vehicular suicide

Images
An unregistered user from Irvine, California, has twice removed the images from this article alleging, Picture is only vaguely related to the topic and may or may not have anything to do with killing yourself with a vehicle, but is gory and ''Photos do not indicate type of damage with these suicide methods nor does the previous edit make any sense with respect to the text of the article. The text of the caption implies only that these pictures could be ambiguously related to suicide.''

The article text states motor vehicles are ideal self-injurious or self-destructive instruments for persons intent upon camouflaging their suicidal motivation from others, because widespread use of the word accident implies traffic collisions are unintentional, and crash investigators found head-on collisions with heavier vehicles were a common suicide method.

I am restoring the images because they illustrate the most common heavier vehicles found on two-lane highways, and the types of damage expected from frontal collisions including fire from petroleum fuels. I dispute the allegations these pictures are only vaguely related to the topic, or that they do not indicate the type of damage associated with this method of suicide. The photos are less gory than photos illustrating the injuries inflicted on the individuals driving these automobiles. Thewellman (talk) 22:41, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
