      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.

      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.

        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.

        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.

      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.

        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!

              It’s just my opinion.

              Presumably almost everything anyone posts is their opinion. That’s kind of how being a person works.

              If you don’t like it downvote

              Wow, I didn’t know I could do that, thanks for the info

              and move on

              You have the right to leave a comment. I have the right to respond to it. If you don’t want people responding to you, then you shouldn’t make comments.

              Let me guess you have an urge to shut me up?

              Nope, just wanted to point out the lack of logic in your comment, that’s all. Keep saying ridiculous shit, I don’t mind, lol

          “Shithole country” is very generalizing, but I agree with you this is not a space I’d wish to exist in. Basically traversing between a street and a parking lot far as camera can see.
