Aren't they allowed to ram through obstructions under certain circumstances?
Onlyhereforthelaughs
Unsatisfying ending.
Spurdopaavali
Oh god bwm facelift looks ugly today.
JamesInTasmania
No hurry...
hateanyway
people are so selfish. I bet she's the type to speak in platitudes about helping others.
njcnetdude
Why am I not surprised
Aegwadar
It’s ALWAYS the BMW
pooFIinger
How does she slowly walk to the car and not run to it in shame?
ChickenROAR
That's not funny. That's infuriating.
KamonDS
I was hoping for something much more "aggressive"
HaveYouConfessed
trash
PinchyStryder
So nothing...nothing happened
cannotthinkofcoolname
Oh let me just casually walk to my car...
RuricOrhlandis
I would have made it through the opening but I would have been sure to take her mirror off as I did.
WeeemRCB
Ah. The universal "I can park anywhere I want as long as I use my hazard lights" move.
Rulweylan
'I recognise that I am doing something dangerous, and as such I will put the hazard lights on to let other people know I'm a hazard'
birdy24
This and ppl not signaling are some of the most frustrating things about driving in a city.
ageek3000
In the BMW manual they're called, "Park Anywhere Lights".
Blackfinity
Jeez, the pig-snout nostrils on that BMW grille must be visible from orbit.
MissMittens
That car would have been gone in 20 seconds in Ithaca egalitarian of firetruck. Some cities have zero chill about illegal parking
jasonboison
MrKomisiripala
While driver is an asshole, wasn’t there enough space for the fire truck to go past?
AyrA
This. I was wondering why they would not go through but maybe the driver wasn't exactly aware of the width of the truck yet.
Takes a bit of getting used to.
PenguinNamedWobbles
Double parked in traffic. Time to eminent domain that car and sell it.
StunttheRunt
JUST FUCKING RAM IT!!
salikarn
"But I needed to get my coffee" -BMW driver probably
sherahrah
The most galling part is the utter lack of urgency as they walk back to the car. ?
uponstrangeshores
I don't get this. What's the firetruck waiting for? There's space. Maybe BM gets a little scratch, but they earned that.
MissShelby
I was wondering the same. Maybe it looks like there is more space from this angle... or it's edited or something
dualplains
I think the truck is actually parked and the sound is edited in.
zFUBARz
Then why are other people looking in the window to see if anyone is in there?
poohft
It may be more complicated. I remember a case where bumbing a vehicle away with the firetruck damaged hydraulics orsumsuch. Lil bumb did it
The damage causing serious problems with the rescue operation as the truck's ladder didnt't work due to the broken valve. Yup.
neumatteo
People who annoy you.
maverixirevam
Secretly racist?
TheWhiteBarry
theshoweriswarm
Fire department in my area wouldn't give a damn . I know a guy they smashed 2 of his windows to run water hoses through(he was parked wrong)
On top of that the fire marshal yelled at him for parking infront of a fire hydrant.
Quizz25S
good.
Liechsowagan
Oh? Like this?
KlobberSaurus
A freeking BWM blocking traffic.
Jamerperson
Are you sure? It was using its hazards. I didn't think BMW turn signals worked.
KismetCrew
Those aren't hazards, those are "Park Anywhere" lights.
theduckening
Well these guys didn't care this time https://youtu.be/2bqkDjVyu80
lwbell851337
I think that is an Alfa... Maybe
TehPankakeMan
What I thought too with that grill. Is in fact a 4 series.
It was the badge that was throwing me
JoshHaskins
It's a newer bmw 4 series.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
Literally the worst bmw ever fucking made
A black working mother.
LooseyGooseyBrett
There's plenty of room
darthstormer
Love that last minute "fuck you" lean on the horn.
maststick
To be fair, it’s not like she hurried in any way
getmo
Oh I absolutely loved that. Especially the casual walk done by the actual BMW owner. "Jeez, SORRY! This isn't a place to park? Why u so mad"
HowMuchWoodCouldAWoodDuckDuckIfAWoodDuckCouldDuckWood
Dude, she had her flashers on so it was ok
khora
I hope the last "fuck you" is delivered by mail.
NKato
It will be. DC don't fuck around.
fbutt09
She’s far too entitled to care.
She'll care when it's a $1500 ticket.
If you drive a car like that, doubt $1500 would mean much. Regardless her attitude shows she doesn’t have much regard for anyone anyways.
SpaceMarineWithAnUrgeToPurge
Of course it's a fucking BMW.
Believe the hype
ThioSuxTube
I can't see how the car brand matters. In my experience it's the drivers that are the problem, and they drive all sorts of vehicles...
...and I would have rammed her (being careful not to damage parked cars of course).
bananabelly
No, really...BMW drivers are legendary for selfish bullshit like this.
captainfakeypants
Premium brands are driven by a disproportionately high percentage of selfish entitled assholes. BMW drivers are the most notorious of these.
Krembananen
They are, it's a theme among somewhat expensive cars. Been a BMW fan for years myself, probably can't drive
I think you're confusing this with the availability heuristic and confirmation bias. You should get that looked at...
Nah. Drivers of similar German luxe cars don't have the deserved reputation of being complete dicks.
Cazzobello
DougDeNasty
Sorry, this is edited with sound or that fire engine driver is incompetent. That truck can fit through that opening.
ZT369
Just ram the damn car
madeejit
He should have squeezed through. Just close enough for his wheel nuts to leave a spirograph along the car.
Dracology
yeaah I mean its not even a tight squeeze? At worst if you were in a hurry you might take out their side mirror.
panamjck
I mean, eventually at least
Nunspogodick
I’m guessing the car was there so they parked and walked into the medical call. They had room to go around. (Fire truck driver here)
1337bobbarker
I've heard if the driver damages the truck they're 100% liable for all damages themselves though?
I'd be very surprised if they don't have insurance on these trucks for the drivers. These trucks cost more than a base Ferrari.
They also seem to attract more women than a Ferrari.
Karna524365
There are safety protocols they must follow…some people follow laws and regulations, others think only others have to.
alkylpure2
Def edited. Air horns are loud enough to make you jump from 100 feet away inside your car. She's down the barrel and didn't even flinch.
Cthulhuchooseyou
"She didn't jump when he hit the horn. Must be fake!" GTFO
My dude, I work in an ambulance. Those air horns are loud enough to startle while I'm inside my ambulance with our own sirens running.
Darprice
Can or should are different things. Driver hits a car, could be his job. However, I think they should have just pushed the BMW up the road
CharliePapaBravo
There's plenty of room, if he can't drive through there without hitting anything, he shouldn't be an engineer.
zeteman
I’m a medic in DC. Shit gets hit all the time, as long as you don’t piss dirty or it’s egregious, you’re fine. He totally could’ve made it
eyemastervideo5
Fine for that one car, but it would have veered into the parked cars. They didn't want that
Skawomplious
They wouldn't be able to push that BMW without hitting multiple other cars with it. If they wanted around they should have gone around.
activeracer28
See that bumper? It's meant to ram. In am emergency call they move ya if your in the way.
tismaggle
Perharps they weren’t really on an emergency and wanted to teach her a lesson
crusadurus
thats my guess, they drive those trucks around at night just to know the town and find turns that are very hard to make.
Wouldn't be lit up for a nonemergent call. Probably parked for a medical if I had to guess.
Copperbrat
What lesson did she learn? Other than double parking can be annoyingly noisy?
Islapbees
Probably not really an emergency and they are just out driving around
boarwar
Firetrucks are often faster than ambulances. So yeah....potential death is more important than a slow burn or snobby BMW drivers.
Filanwizard
yeah but if someone double parks they deserve to get their car rammed.
TheDouche
It’s okay if their hazards are on, like this car.
somehow I doubt this driver had a dire situation that precluded legally parking the vehicle. they are also blocking in that light blue car
should that driver or the person loading the black car have to wait so self entitled BMW driver can get their coffee?
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
Yeah I was thinking the same. There’s 100% room there although still a dick move by the chick parking her car there.
causingproblemsmakesyoufamous
Wtf makes you think it is a chick who parked there?
Plantz
Because of the chick that literally walks up to the car and gets in it?
xcopperx
How can blind people read comments?
Omg. I didn't see the end. How do I delete my comment before the internet crucifies me??????????
