... imagine trying to explain this WITH the evidence!

[–]thirt13n 15 points16 points ago

Ya, I feel the evidence makes it much more difficult. Especially trying to get everyone to think you're not a retard.

"I am a woman."

[–]xiaorobear 19 points20 points ago

hahaha sexism, amirite

[–]swwjeff -3 points-2 points ago

Asian woman is more likely.

[–]Laboratory 24 points25 points ago

whoa WHOA there. Reddit has extremely specific rules about which minority groups one can make fun of.

I'm looking it up here and it says... yes.. you can only make fun of asian grammar mistakes. Asian driving is strictly off limits.

This time it will only be a citation and a handful of downvotes. Please do be careful in the future.

[–]Vidyogamasta 2 points3 points ago

The other day I was driving my asian friend somewhere to eat. On the way there, I saw someone pull a U-turn on red and had to stop, even though I had the green. He went on to tell me how he's seen worse, like people changing lanes without putting on their blinker and stuff. Barely even saw anything wrong with the U on red 0_0

Though he MAY have just been playing up the Asian stereotype.

"A shitty-ass SUV that's known to be prone to roll-overs."

There. Explained.

[–]Tittycats 1 point2 points ago

yeah man i'd just say I fucked up and would leave it at that. Pay the repairs and take the insurance spike right up the ass.

Go home car, you are drunk

[–]BlueMunky 16 points17 points ago

What would it call? A taxi or a tow truck? I'd go with tow, but taxi would be cooler.

[–]hypnoderp 3 points4 points ago

both

EDIT: those are the wierdest downvotes I've ever gotten. . .

[–]BlueMunky 9 points10 points ago

Thanks, but I'm not clicking that link. It looks scary.

[–]Soccer21x 5 points6 points ago

SFW. Just a tow truck with a truck on it.

[–]Underdogg13 7 points8 points ago

Re-host on imgur and those downvotes will go away.

[–]hypnoderp 1 point2 points ago

so true

[–]pixelrage 73 points74 points ago

The physics of this makes no sense.

[–]kitsy 225 points226 points ago

  1. There's a pole on the far left.
  2. The pole gets bent and caught under the wheel.
  3. The car continues to turn right and the wheel hits the the wall.

similar physics, for further investigation

[–]RadtasticNinjaChick -1 points0 points ago

Black ice, perhaps?

[–]VallanMandrake 0 points1 point ago

No, they do. The gate needs to bee really strong. Here is the explaination: The Car touches the gate, pulle it along, it gets stuck between the tire and the gap around it and acts like a lever. Now there are 2 possible outcomes depending on the stability of the door: Ether the car can pull the gate along and rip it out, or the tangential component of the "car force" can open the door more. If the gateis opend more, the full kinetic energy (movement energy) of the car is put into the metal gate, which acts like a spring, gets compressed, expandes back and flips over the car. (you see the gate vibrate like a spring) Now some calculations to demonstrate the amount of kinetic (movement) energy E the car has:

E=1/2car mass(car speed)²

I estimate the car to drive like 30 km/h a (perhaps a bit less). this car weights something between 0.5 t and 1 t, but that does not matter.

So you have sth like E= 35 KJ. Lets find out how heigh you can lift the car: Required energy E = mgh -> h= E/(g*m) that is 3,5 meter. So, this energy does easily suffice to flip the car over (think that some energy gets lost into friction...)

[–]YoureMyBoyBloo 33 points34 points ago

I'm in class and I just had to bite my thumb really hard to stop from bursting out laughing at this.

That fence is an asshole. It was just looking for a fight. Good thing there's video evidence, now you can give it a fine or paint it a color that it doesn't like.

[–]MAH_COOTER 9 points10 points ago

Well officer, as you can see, my car is pointed in the opposite direction of the opening of the gates. It was open and I crashed into it. Explained

[–]rgeguypic 2 points3 points ago

How can you fail so bad at driving? I've heard of 13 year old stealing cars and driving cross country without even a scratch on the car. Yet somehow this person starts moving from a full stop, and in less than 20 feet flip their car. WTF!

Engineer/accident reconstructionist here. Actually fairly easy to explain. Still cool to see, have an upvote.

"Sure Billy, you can park the car. What's the worst that could happen?"

[–]robertunix 1 point2 points ago

there's a metal pole on the vehicle's right side. pole bends, right side of vehicle rides up the pole and flips.

[–]iamfuckinganton 0 points1 point ago

what. how.

[–]swaymasterflash 1 point2 points ago

Is it an all-wheel drive car? The argument could be made that since power is going to all four wheels, the front right wheel received enough power to climb the wall a little, and have the front left wheel help since its power is on the ground; before you know it you're upside down. Its possible, just not probable.

[–]Phate18 2 points3 points ago

Also, all 4WD Škoda Octavia models have "rubber boots". This one doesn't.

[–]saidhowitis 1 point2 points ago

When it is flipped over you can see there are no drive-train components going to the rear.

[–]matthewtheninja 0 points1 point ago

I still don't believe it.

[–]franktinsley 1 point2 points ago

Why the hell would they keep pressing the gas?

[–]BenCelotil 1 point2 points ago

Panicked and didn't move the foot far enough to the brake before jamming the foot to the floor, probably.

This is why I hated it when my driving instructor kept ticking me off for driving with both feet. I like having my left foot as the general braking and/or panic foot.

[–]franktinsley 0 points1 point ago

I can't conceive of how a person can confuse the gas and break pedal.

[–]dogwaterbaby 0 points1 point ago

add another pedal and you might understand

[–]BenCelotil 0 points1 point ago

It's not confusing the peddles, it's not moving the foot far enough from one to the other because of an unfamiliarity with the model of car and spacing of the peddles.

For example, my parents used to own a Mitsubishi years ago that had rather small peddles, kind of close together. Their next car was a Ford Falcon with larger peddles further apart.

I didn't move my foot far enough in the Ford, and still touched the accelerator when I meant to tap the brake. I pushed both, but had more resistance from the brake so most of my foot pressure went on the accelerator.

Fortunately I didn't hit anything, just had a brief, "Oh shit!" moment.

[–]saidhowitis 1 point2 points ago

Front wheel drive... The car has enough momentum to allow the wheel to keep good contact with the wall and flip itself. I also imagine the rocket scientist behind the vehicle was flooring it in a panic.

[–]Kar98_Byf42 0 points1 point ago

Why did you turn?

[–]geoper 1 point2 points ago

[–]dmkelly 2 points3 points ago

I hope they got out of the car before it caught on fire.

[–]Amytherocklobster 1 point2 points ago

Id not believe that crap for a second if I were an insurance company, that tape would be the saving grace.

[–]ChristopherJDorsch 0 points1 point ago

The evidence makes even less sense.

[–]Kappies10 -1 points0 points ago
