So this idiot gets a blow out on his front driver side tire on the highway. Instead of pulling over like a sane person, he speeds up. The tire starts making lots of smoke which is pouring off over his car, again, he speeds up, now going almost 75... As the tire starts to shred and fall off in chunks, a piece knocks loose his front bumper. Now his front bumper is dragging on the ground, scraping and bouncing between the ground and whats left of his tire and making some awesome noises. Eventually what was left of his tire fell off and he finally decided to pull over.

Tried to get video but fat fingers pressed the button twice.

Probably for the best that you didn't get video; it'd go front page and you'd get shit for recording while driving.

Some people just aren't so bright. Does he not know how to change a tire? That's is a skill that everybody man or woman should know.

I have witnessed people driving on metal wheels, sparks flying, cutting a grove in the highway.

Human stupidity truly is infinite.

Besides that, it was his front, so his steering wheel must have been going insane especially at 75 mph. had he had any sense and pulled off when it happened all he would have had is a blown tire to fix, now he has to replace a tire, fix / replace the bumper, possibly the wheel itself, never mind all the suspension correction that thing is going to need.

I was driving one afternoon, and this civic passes me (I'm doing 65), his tire is gone. He's riding on the rim, sparks flying, bumper dragging. I was waiting on the police to catch up, surely this is a pursuit I was thinking. I never did see any cops, nor did I see him on the shoulder for the next 20 miles.

He should have just stopped, bad idea on his part, what kind of car was it?
