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

          “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.

      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.

      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

      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!

          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.

    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.

        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.
