I dunno... I would call dancing on the edge of a moving vehicle pretty dumb and instead of unlucky not getting their anything run over was pretty lucky. The ground also looks like it was wet from rain so perhaps the bed of that vehicle was a little slippery too but that just makes dancing on the edge of it even worse of a choice.
It's a classic maneuver, when doing stupid shit on a motorcycle or similar and the person starts to fall off, they just grab that handle for dear life which just twists it and runs the engine even more.
Ya i have seen videos like this too often. Seems like a terrible design but not sure how to fix that design. Pushing forward to the gas is prob hard on the wrist but would be intuitive.
Except that when you slow down your weight shifts forwards so now you run the risk of doing this business every time you have to suddenly brake. The alternative way to avoid the above is to simply not do dumb shit in the first place, is far easier to do.
Oh ya... With how long this has been standard I assume there isn't a perfect &easy fix, but brands like Harley don't like change so hard to now for sure. This setup, when you crash or like hit a patch of bad terrain that slows you down you prob lurch forward and throttle down too. Im sure many would hate a foot pedal that also needs to be held down to throttle but that may work.
That was the catchphrase of Jade's character when the webcomic PVP Online played City of Heroes and she was a cat lady. I don't remember her name, but someone else played a Thing knockoff named "Pummel Granite," whose catchphrase was, "It's punch o'clock!" There's some useless information I've had rolling around in my head for 20 years. You're welcome.
My car got her paw caught in something next to my bed. She was screaming (scared, no injuries), waking me up from a stupor. I immediately run over to free her. She tore me up, and bit my hand in a way that pierced my vein. It was like a fucking horror scene, with my blood flying all over the bedroom. Now I know to first grab a towel and throw it over/around her before trying to help a panicking cat.
I was moving years ago with a crated cat.. Was carrying him into the new house when a motor cycle decided it was a good idea to rev as loud as they could... He got out somehow and managed to catch him, but he just sank teeth and claws into my arms... Kinda just had to hold that until he decided he wasn't dying because it was a new area and chances are I'd never see him again otherwise. Cats give 0 fucks if you're helping or not.
Had taken in two strays, one was unfixed. The two males (one under a year and one 4 years old) got along well for awhile... Until one day I heard screaming at the bottom of the staircase. The older male was trying to kill the younger one. I grabbed the younger cat to try and protect him, and the poor thing raked his claws down the underside of my forearm. I have a six inch scar from it. He did nothing wrong, Waffles was just scared. ):
I'd wager more people dislike it than like it. I see a lot of hate for humanity but people seem to forget we invented morality and responsibility. Some of our worst members ignore these, but for the most part we aren't all garbage. Competitive cooperation is what we've evolved for, and we excel at it.
Osaka Zoo killed zoos for me. Went for fun, came out sad. Maybe something like Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo Australia where the animals can move around but cages are just sad.
It looks like a tendon. I had a similar wound after my hand went through glass, fortunately in my case the tendon wasn’t fully severed. After surgery it fully healed in 6 to 8 weeks.
#1 Every tow truck driver I've ever talked to has a story about a young driver and their first car. The distance from the dealership to the scene of the crash is usually under five miles.
I was going to comment on how easy it is to not get in a wreck. I them remembered my son hit another car in the parking lot the first week he has his car
In my town, rich kid got a BMW M2 for his 17th bday, promptly went flying off the road into someone's house. Kid had walked out to use the bathroom 30sec before his bedroom was demolished.
I feel like the fear makes you a good driver, or at least better than the people who drive with wild abandon like three indestructible. I have dreams where I'm losing control of the car
I at least had the mind to go to a private drive and launch into an empty hay field. No damage. Just embarrassing. We did discover a metal pipe hidden in the tall grass a few feet away, so it was a close call.
My very first day driving my car alone ( thankfully a shitbox my dad bought for $500 and did a little fixing on), the cigarette lighter fell out of its socket and I reached down to grab it but turned my hand when I did it, crashing into a fence post coming out of my driveway. So I didn't even make it out of the yard. Car was fine, just dent on the quarter panel thankfully. But that was embarrassing
I had a friend who ran through a bus stop because she dropped her Jamba Juice and was reaching down to pick it up while taking a right turn. Thankfully the bus stop was empty.
USA? Because in the Netherlands half the population will probably never ever own a new car. I'm 55, not poor and newest car I ever owned was 3 years old.
You win ;) BTW, still own that '3 year old car' 12 years later (and the other 5 year old car, 15 years later, and the 7 year old motorcycle 31 years later).
same, but the guy i knew had lost it due to alcohol and driving. he lost it the same day he got it back, drunk again and had a light accident. fucking idiot, probably the dumbest guy i know / knew so far
I love this statistic because it sounds so deep but the reason behind it is super obvious. Its less about comfort and more about time. You spend more time traveling within 5 miles of your home than anywhere else. Grocery store? Close by. Department store? Close by. Post office? Close by.
Funnily enough I fit this stat when I got in a wreck, and I was an OTR semi truck driver. I had been to 46 of the lower 48 when a car crashed into me 4 miles from my house. I remember when the cop asked for my license I told him 'dude you're gonna laugh' and he looks at my address and legit went 'what the FUCK hey Joe you gotta see this!' while waving it at the other cop. Like I was literally two turns from my friggin house. What the hell are the chances.
For real. I hear so much about how drivers where I am are some of the worst in the world, but when I go to Texas and drive there, stresses ne out so much. Doesn't help I prefer compact sedans when everyone and their mother try and get the biggest 4 wheeler that's remotely street legal, half the people I see could flatten me without trying amd think they hit a speed bump.
She didn’t even try to follow the curve, and who the fuck drives like that on mountain roads anyway? The worst drivers on any mountain or rural road are the casuals who come from the city.
I drive slower when coming from the city but when I had moved out to the country and got comfortable driving the roads then I went a bit too fast for a curve at the bottom of a hill and went off the road into a creek. It was pretty scary.
You literally started by saying what POV stands for and somehow still got the answer wrong. POV has nothing to do with opinions, POV is the "Point Of View" of the camera that took the footage.
It's hard to judge speed in videos like these but it seemed to me like she should have been able to slow down in time to avoid hitting that guard rail, and just wasn't really putting the brake pedal to the floor like she should have.
You can hear her accelerate for most of the video. I grew up around mountain roads like that, 35 mph limit at worst, most likely 25mph. She was probably around 50 when she started to slow down, too bad she was already in the corner.
Yeah, a combination of factors. I wonder how many miles she actually had of driving that car. One of the first things I do whenever I get a new vehicle is a hard-accelerate/hard-brake test to confirm both how far the pedals go, and how fast it can stop.
GF pulled a 2025 BMW M4 Competition X out of a ditch last night outside Seattle. There were TWO identical vehicles for the twins who just graduated and were racing in the foothills in their graduation presents. She said they were both so naive of the power of these cars that at least one of them were going to kill themselves or another with those cars. Cost looks about $85k USD each
That thing went fast enough for me to go "Bitch SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!" It is a narrow road, with the other lane being for opposing traffic. She went WAY too fast. JFC.
And also didn't adhere to lane markings on bends. Poor attitude. Should have license revoked for a few years until she stops acting like an entitled brat.
Do you drive? Because it was obvious to me that she was going way to fast for that road, she would’ve been doing 60+ when 40 would’ve been more appropriate
Obviously she exceeded her capabilities, I'm just saying that the video makes it seem like it isn't so ridiculously fast that even a capable driver would not be able to recover, it seems that she's got incompetence + high speeds. Right before she crosses the road and hits the guardrail, it takes a moment to cross, it just doesn't seem like she's really still going all that fast at that moment. Like she completely froze up rather than was exceeding her cars braking capability.
Yeah her steering was ropey throughout. A more competent driver would’ve struggle hitting the turn at that speed, but a more competent driver would’ve eased off the accelerator going into the bend
I drive through those areas frequently. Those turns are a bit sharper than the spasmatic filming shows. To make the turn you have to be going slow into the turn, not in the middle of the turn. She slammed the brakes way to late to do anything but go over the side. The people that think "I can do that" are usually the ones that end up with a scare in the left wrong lane.
She was going way too fast throughout, plus all the food and the POV guy making all the noise. Way too many distractions for a brand new vehicle you're probably not used to at all
pretty much any car made in the 21st century can lock up the brakes or trigger the anti-lock system, the only thing that really makes a difference to stopping power is tires. (obviously this is referring to consumer grade cars on streets, not race cars or track conditions). I'd bet all of those cars had ABS, so the only limiting factor left is the rubber on the wheels.
The only correct answer seems to be set her car on fire?? I'm not sure what else those actions could've resulted in. If I really wanted to get creative then maybe she heard something in the gas tank and tried to see what it was with the light of the lighter.
I don't think the pump was flowing so she assumed the petrol had frozen (freezing point is -40C so maybe possible in Russia?) and wanted melt it. With a lighter.

She didn’t even try to follow the curve, and who the fuck drives like that on mountain roads anyway? The worst drivers on any mountain or rural road are the casuals who come from the city.
OneCraftyHooker
I drive slower when coming from the city but when I had moved out to the country and got comfortable driving the roads then I went a bit too fast for a curve at the bottom of a hill and went off the road into a creek. It was pretty scary.

The second I saw those nails I knew, this is only the first of many.

My kid will experience capitalism before owning a car. Being a slave makes us care for the little money and freedom we get.

Who wants to bet that Daddy just bought her a new one?

It's just a BRZ those things weren't expensive

How was she surprised at the outcome?
twistedjoint
These sorts of things shouldn't happen to the main character. Bad writing imo

Probably a car that is way more powerful than anything she drove whilst learning, and almost certainly a complete lack of understanding of physics.

Most of these people are lucky they didn't die. Could have been way worse.

Yes. But also that’s not what POV means.
DaCrazyBeggar
This guy doesn't even know what POV means everybody point and laugh.

What do you mean? the video clip was literally the Point Of View of the dude the captions are describing.
tantallous
yeah lol. usually it is wrong but this one is actually right for once
metall
Right? This is the first time I've seen POV used correctly.
howsplendid
“Point of view” is somebody’s opinion on something. This isn’t his opinion on it. This is a video of the incident.
Drives11
You literally started by saying what POV stands for and somehow still got the answer wrong. POV has nothing to do with opinions, POV is the "Point Of View" of the camera that took the footage.
metall
The cognitive dissonance is strong with that one.
whatsisname
It's hard to judge speed in videos like these but it seemed to me like she should have been able to slow down in time to avoid hitting that guard rail, and just wasn't really putting the brake pedal to the floor like she should have.
backrideup9
You can hear her accelerate for most of the video. I grew up around mountain roads like that, 35 mph limit at worst, most likely 25mph. She was probably around 50 when she started to slow down, too bad she was already in the corner.
OtterlyMagnificent
Yeah, a combination of factors. I wonder how many miles she actually had of driving that car. One of the first things I do whenever I get a new vehicle is a hard-accelerate/hard-brake test to confirm both how far the pedals go, and how fast it can stop.
ChicanoBatman
GF pulled a 2025 BMW M4 Competition X out of a ditch last night outside Seattle. There were TWO identical vehicles for the twins who just graduated and were racing in the foothills in their graduation presents. She said they were both so naive of the power of these cars that at least one of them were going to kill themselves or another with those cars. Cost looks about $85k USD each
WarlockSniper
That thing went fast enough for me to go "Bitch SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!"
It is a narrow road, with the other lane being for opposing traffic. She went WAY too fast. JFC.
RadonGaming
And also didn't adhere to lane markings on bends. Poor attitude. Should have license revoked for a few years until she stops acting like an entitled brat.
myloveforyouislikeatruckberserker
Do you drive? Because it was obvious to me that she was going way to fast for that road, she would’ve been doing 60+ when 40 would’ve been more appropriate
whatsisname
Obviously she exceeded her capabilities, I'm just saying that the video makes it seem like it isn't so ridiculously fast that even a capable driver would not be able to recover, it seems that she's got incompetence + high speeds. Right before she crosses the road and hits the guardrail, it takes a moment to cross, it just doesn't seem like she's really still going all that fast at that moment. Like she completely froze up rather than was exceeding her cars braking capability.
myloveforyouislikeatruckberserker
Yeah her steering was ropey throughout. A more competent driver would’ve struggle hitting the turn at that speed, but a more competent driver would’ve eased off the accelerator going into the bend
dieselfury
Passing cars have lights on and haze, road looks wet. When she crashed the wheel was all the way to the right and rolls back. Probably hydroplaned?
Mr21782Man
I drive through those areas frequently. Those turns are a bit sharper than the spasmatic filming shows. To make the turn you have to be going slow into the turn, not in the middle of the turn. She slammed the brakes way to late to do anything but go over the side. The people that think "I can do that" are usually the ones that end up with a scare in the left wrong lane.
bitemark
She was going way too fast throughout, plus all the food and the POV guy making all the noise. Way too many distractions for a brand new vehicle you're probably not used to at all
ruferto
i dont think the food and the guy talking mattered that much. that said, we're all different so could ust be me

You never turned music off so you could double park?
ruferto
no, is that a thing?

I turn the music down so I can see better

Yeah, i mean, i could take that turn while accelerating in that car..but i'm much more experienced than a first car owner

If you gotta floor the brakes on a windy road, you are going too fast
whatsisname
I meant not slamming the brakes the moment the "oh shit" was upon her, obviously she shouldn't have been going that fast to begin with.

windy windy road
you don't know how to pronounce that correctly
Infinias
Or it's an American problem with the brakes. https://youtube.com/shorts/4fe182VAupY?si=39a1fSZB7-O-kLIr
Drives11
pretty much any car made in the 21st century can lock up the brakes or trigger the anti-lock system, the only thing that really makes a difference to stopping power is tires. (obviously this is referring to consumer grade cars on streets, not race cars or track conditions). I'd bet all of those cars had ABS, so the only limiting factor left is the rubber on the wheels.
L4t3xs
It's an Infiniti. Not American.
twistedjoint
Yes but our culture has corrupted it
SerialChickenLover
She just casually crashed her car and acted like it was just an annoying thing that happens to her now and then. It wasn’t the brakes.
rudejohn
That vehicle is an Infiniti, made by Nissan in Japan. Source: the fucking logo on the steering wheel.
ChloeRed
If you want a fun mix, my infiniti was built in the UK, to a shared German platform, with a french engine... so Japan, UK, German, French ;)

It's a mutt, like my childhood doggie :)

#6 what was she trying to do?? 😳
Walfas
Russia, so probably insurance fraud.
MrRobSteel

JustUsLeagueUnlimited
The way she is looking at the pump, I think she is trying to determine if the gas is flowing... in the dumbest way possible
Lucallia
The only correct answer seems to be set her car on fire?? I'm not sure what else those actions could've resulted in. If I really wanted to get creative then maybe she heard something in the gas tank and tried to see what it was with the light of the lighter.
FishieStardust
I was thinking trying to thaw something with that lighter
ExplosionFish
This
TheLookAndFeelMUSIC
I don't think the pump was flowing so she assumed the petrol had frozen (freezing point is -40C so maybe possible in Russia?) and wanted melt it. With a lighter.
MajorasTerribleFate
-40°C, eh? Wonder what that is in Fahrenheit...

Surprisingly close actually, its one of the places where the two systems overlap
