“Missed a turn”? I mean, I know I hate people who come to almost a dead stop when they turn, but that guy was doing a bit more than the speed limit in a residential area and casually missed a left, I’m pretty sure.
As a high-school physics problem: will the increased acceleration of an EV compensate for the increased mass of an EV that we still get insane airborne videos like this? extra-credit: and how much additional damage will result? (“let’see… ½mv²…”)
That’ll buff out.
A million to one shot, Jerry!
Dukes of Riverside?
Video is gagging for a slo-mo.
Some people will do anything for a parking spot.
Give that fucker a lifetime driving ban.
“Hi, Honey; I’m home!”
A few years ago, I got home from work to find an overturned pickup in my front yard, along with two tow trucks and a half dozen or so neighbors wandering around looking at the damage.
I live on a straight stretch of road, no sudden turns or other reasons they’d end up 50’ from the road, upside down, with bits of F-350 trim and decor spread over what appeared to be a couple of hundred feet of skid and roll damage to the lawn.
I never did get an explanation of what happened. Watching this, though, reminds me now as it did then: some people are idiots, and many of them drive multi-ton hunks of steel with no regard for their own safety, let alone yours. Be careful out there.
Someone posted that vid on a European blogging site where I hang out. The users are mostly German speakers and Poles, and one user said, “Oh, that’s my hometown! I remember when that happened!” Several others chimed in, saying they remembered it, but also things like, “My mom saw it happen!” “I know that guy!”
Dang. So how many Poles does it take to fly a car over a roundabout? Asking for 5th grade me.
