Yikes.

What in the shit was that fool trying to accomplish?

"If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver" - Ayrton Senna

Flatbed was going too slow and SUV is late for a hair cut

Who pays for the shit he had to drop to get out of the way? And for the new pair of pants he needs

cars, amirite 😒

Yeah, but it did elegantly spanked that Civics butt.

They had a short amount of space to pass (unsafely) before it went back down to 1 lane and think of the inconvenience. They are so fucking lucky they don't have manslaughter of that pedestrian on their record---oniy because it happened to be someone walking who was fast and paying attention--exactly because of how dangerous it is to be a pedestrian.

lol at that driver pulling a PIT maneuver on themselves.

which is why you shoulfd always walk facing oncoming traffic.

ALSO I only vote for violent anarchistic or communistic candidates who want to destroy car-centric infrastructure.

He was facing oncoming traffic.

If traffic goes both ways, you are supposed to walk sideways in a crab-like manner.

....OMG i just realized youre right! ...WTF!?

Who designed that stroad? They WANT to kill pedestrians at this point I refuse to believe otherwise!

Technically the driver's insurance, but it would take a lawyer. Ultimately they would be responsible though

What's wrong with the road layout..?

I want to give this comment a sideways arrow

are those cars parked all over the sidewalk and ol mate has to walk on the road ?

You sound like an alien pretending to know how things on Earth work.

The driver wasn't even wearing a seatbelt, airbags aren't activating.

As far as I know, they arent depending on each other.
The energy of the crash just wasnt enough I assume.

While I think you’re right, I would really like to have side airbags go off in a roll like that 😅 This car might not have had them, though.

"People" driving on the left

(I don't believe brits are real)

I just went by what I heard when writing that comment. Apparently it depends on the car, so I can't say for sure. I would've assumed the impact(s) and roll were strong enough to trigger emergency systems. Whiplash is a bitch.

No, those are parking lots. The car left the road. Also the pedestrian doesn't look old to me.

Looks like he started trying to pass the truck before it entered the frame, then had to swerve back to the left to avoid the incoming car, clipped the corner of the truck, and the rest is on camera.

Y'all, this is AI slop. Look at how the car fucking leaps into the air. It makes no sense at all.

That's what happens when tyre face hits tyre face with a collision in this direction. The tyres grip each other and it launches the car coming from behind.

Anything I don't understand is AI

Likely balls deep in their phone

Basically the tire speeds double and are applied almost vertically to the car behind. That launches the car upwards from the front.

The tire grip is good enough to fling a car 3 feet into the air and make it roll over twice, in an instant, while going 30 mph? I need to know where you're buying tires with that kind of grip!

The couple in the background: None of our business, Keep on walking.

You ever watch NASCAR? A tire rolling over another tire is like a Mario Kart launching ramp.

Don't be crude, that's just the English that are a global conspiracy

What's that box marking in the center of the frame supposed to mean?

I see someone had early access to that new Tesla jumping car.

Wait, it should have hit?

What the fuck are they gonna do??

How did you see that?

shhhh! . Dont tell the humans yet! The Martians' plans must come to fruition first! Hail Zo'txttgtqoa!

Basically he can make a claim on the driver's insurance, although I have a feeling the insurance might try to get out of paying for the pedestrian's shopping since that's kinda hard to prove the loss on and slightly nonstandard

A wild killercar appeared!

the anarchist candidate? Wouldnt they struggle against their cause by legitimating state might?

nah. The USSR existed as a state obviously, but if you talk to ANY communist worth their mettle they will tell you that communism can only exist in an stateless world. There is nothing wrong with using states in order to bring about a transition phase where states are increasingly no longer existing by the end of the transition. Now, I do Admit that this thing I just talked about is a hard thing to do today and even in the past since most humans today are STILL choosing to be nationalistic shit-for-brains but people need to understamd that oppression will always exist as long as nationalism is also allowed to exist. Once humanity smartens the fuck up, for once, and realizes that we have no need for any forms of oppresion , things will be VERY different.

....uh....if humanity doesnt blow itself up with nukes first.

I have no idea what humanity plans on doing with its future at this point based on the people I talk to IRL and the news. So Im just waiting for either the nukes or a world without oppression...

Truck-kun was the villain in this isekai. A new sub-genera was created that day.

Whatever it was, it looks like they did it.

They almost were.

In open wheel racing (F1, F2, ...) tyre on tyre contact happens every few races. Yet, somehow, they don't take to the skies? If anything, they have less drag upwards that would stop them.

That rule only applies when there is no sidewalk available, which there very clearly is here. If you are in the sidewalk you can go whichever direction you prefer.
