Ah, he was trying to old bump-into-the-log-truck trick from Most Wanted. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t realize that A. It wasn’t a logging truck and B. this is real life.

Sure it is. Its just more expensive and takes longer to restart the game.

This is why there is not a z in the world that hasn’t been crashed.

Looks like the camera car was dicking around in the left lane instead of passing the truck.

If you thought that waiting for a truck to pass another truck was agonizing, get ready for the wait for a tow truck!

Exactly, doesn’t forgive the shitty pass attempt, but I can understand why the Z driver did what they did.

It just had to be a Z, GSXR, or maybe something from Bayern. That being said, camera car needs to pass, shit or get off the pot.

Good thing he hit the truck as he/she/they would have died when the car continued to rotate sideways and begin to roll at that speed.

Like this dickhead:

Kinja'd!!!

They didn’t hit anything. They likely were trying to avoid a pothole. There street that was on has a bunch of them. So go figure.

This is why it makes me nuts when I’m going fast and some goober thinks that now we’re racing because we’re both in fast cars. I’m delighted to convoy at speed but the morons that have no idea what they’re doing behind the wheel of a car truly believe they know what they’re doing simply because they haven’t crashed yet and invariably end up like the video.

Sorry for the rant. Just home from a 14 hour work day. Sigh.

Given the height of the camera and the reactions of the vehicle, I believe the red camera vehicle was also a semi tractor and trailer, which was actually going at a speed that would put it in front of the truck + trailer in the eight lane in just a few seconds. After all, the left lane is for passing, and an 80,000lb truck can’t do it as fast as a 3,000lb supercar.

That’s the exact same tactic I use in Mario Kart to get enemies out of the way - bounce them off the road.

Note to self- do not attempt against multi-ton truck.

I think the camera car was also a semi, given its height, and as such I actually think the passing speed was ok. Not great, but OK.

II think the camera vehicle was a semi truck, and given that I think he was actually doing OK. Not brilliantly, but he was at least making an effort.

wow, that’s just some bad car handling skills right there. what a moron, that should have been an easy maneuver.. dumb ass

I suppose near the end he was at least finally gaining ground, and the Z approached at such a rate that he was probably well into the “pass” by the time the speeder entered the line of sight. Still, the “elefantenrennen” are a big reason some loathe trucks.

Yup. In this case I think the camera truck pulled out to pass way too early.

This is why zcars and g35 coupes were off my list and I bought a g35 sedan. Too many idiots raise the insurance rates . plus much better overall visibility out the thing .

Yeah if it was a semi, that makes more sense.
