Off dute cops?
Geo80
No one bother to help the flipped over vehicle....
TheCorporateMudkip
Saw a guy speed past a cop in construction zone and he tried get off ramp so I matched another cars speed to box him until cops caught up
ForgivingCat
The priority should be to help the victim.

I first read it as cardboard box hit and run
Mumalot
"Do you know why these guys pulled you over?"
xuriV
No sir officer, sir. not sure.
MyPassIsNot1234
I like how they got him, but honestly the first thing they should have done is check the other's car passengers.
JohnMurky
People behind would have stop to check almost immediately after they passed
Ohhhlookaunicorneatingasamurai
"Why didn't the driver get out..... wait."

Lol!

This in Gauteng in South Africa. And the website is the Dutch site Dumpert. Heh, both of my countries of Imgur at once. Nice.
Keokri
Seen alot of posts about VW Trucks. This is for everyone in the states. Yes they do make them and no we can not import them due to tax.
Keokri
Specifically, for a good read, look up Chicken Tax. It is a sh*tty reason I know but that's how world economies work I guess.
Keokri
Anyone that has one can you chime in on what it's got as far as capability for comparison to our trucks.
THATGUYYOUH8
U done messes up A A ron

The best part is where they all drive past the overturned car in need.

good on them!
CotterPyke
I'm really glad other people are glad to risk all like this; I'll be right behind em
CotterPyke
about a hundred yards behind, but still

Hope the driver who flipped over is okay
SinGirl75
It was an elderly man. Thankfully he did not sustain serious injury.
CallOfTheAvoid
Thank you for the info, the link wouldn't pull up for me.
Zangrieff
Thanks for the update. Im glad he was okay
Hoparistic
South Africa must have driving classes where they teach you to move in unison like fighter jets with anyone on Earth in seconds.
Taliska
There is a lot of bad press regarding our country and politics... but dont piss us off... we mad got each others backs!
Voidjumper
No, just many years of practice in roads where half the drivers think they're above the law.
Taliska
yup

I read that in Ricks voice
CrypticalEnvelopement
There was literally no good reason for that accident to have happened other than shitty driving
Derodric
You see him flip off the driver after he crashed?
BNabs
That some terrible driving, just ploughed straight into the back of the dude
FULLSCALERIOT
Yeah, idk why he did that. He def sped up, and rammed the back of the truck. Must've been raging, no way that was accidental
yourcomment
Texting and driving is bad...
LJAYHVHJONES
Plot twist, driver is a diplomat and nothing happens...
Happinessisawarmmeme
What are the chances that driver could have a gun on him?
binicorn
Probably in a country where most people are not allowed to own firearms
SignificantDeficiency
Nope
takingashower
That's what I'm wondering. Seems like a good way to get shot.
hmzzz
Still boxed in though
DevoAtTheServo
Depends on the country. This appears to be South Africa, probably not as common as in the US. Europe? Next to none.
CrazyCatLad
And the dude on the phone walked right in front of the car while he was still in it.
Corrodias
The nice thing about boxing him in like this is now there's video footage, he'd have to murder 3+ people and steal the cameras, and then ยป
Corrodias
he'd have to steal another vehicle or try to plough through them. Reckless driving & fleeing escalates to a triple homicide and auto theft.
Corrodias
It just isn't worth it. Not to most people anyway.
meowmeowlessthan3
This almost seemed planned with how well they did that
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
Do you mean to say that it was skilled, not that it was staged?
idonotthinkitownswhatyouthinkitowns
And why did they have a camera out at the very beginning? It's not a dash cam either.
DevoAtTheServo
Could be that they just wanted to film the wrecking ball dude as he went way faster than everyone else.
meowmeowlessthan3
Maybe it was a detachable dashboard cam? Idk if that's a thing
WellThatsOriginal
I'm surprised there aren't more accidents since they are driving on the wrong side of the fucking road!
aCadence
Nope the driver's seat is clearly on the right side of the car.
silvirus
You mean the wrong side /s
aCadence
cars were invented in Wales which is in the UK meaning the correct side is driver seated on the right. Checkmate
IHateImgurWithADeepPassion
hey im a dumb fuckin american the world revolves around me duh udhdhh
CasuallyDressed
HA
WhoTheFuckisGavin
But it's more common in most of the world to be driving on the other side..

Typical driver in Atlanta
ShiverMeeTimberz
I work at Grady's Trauma center, I can confirm this as 100% factual
STINKPICKEL
Atlanta drivers don't take curves well. 85mph on the straights then slow to 30mph if the hiway curves, or an exit comes up. Nutso !
papajamesy
Had some ass hat in a corvette slow down to 25 last night on 85 and kept brake checking/flicking me off. Then he drove off.
papajamesy
Pulled up next to him at the light and the dude wouldn't make eye contact with me.
STINKPICKEL
Well one asshole on the road is one too many, kudos to you for not being one also.

STINKPICKEL
And yeah I totally agree that Atlanta beltway is a white knuckle ride at rush hours.

Ironic, I rode for 16 years, this year I quit and sold the bike because of folks just stopping in front of me, on hiways and thru-streets.

I know, they don't get over before hand to exit, but they'll stop with a blinker to get over or backup to get to the exit .

My son and I witnessed someone getting struck by a car at a pedestrian crossing right in front of us - could have easily been us. (1/2)

Oh, if we should have been so lucky, Mr. Ryan.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
The honourable Minister for Yes, You Really Have To will cease assuming the origin of the esteemed position of House Speaker is America.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
One of the reasons I'm a hero in his eyes is that in addition to helping the victim I also provided the description that caught the driver.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
(3/2) I was as amazed at how calm my son remained as I was at my own lack of freaking out.
Cosmogonic

Ya it's crazy, I think it has something to do with kids not fully understanding the situation immediately like adults do
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
I think he might have been absorbing how I reacted in order to build his own mental model of how to respond to similar situations, later.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
Part of the reason I was surprised is that his mother is rather dramatic and would have made the situation more chaotic.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
By contrast I'm panicky when it comes to hard situations built by society when it is hard to see the reality/necessity from which it stems.

VW Amarok, Been around for a while already. Just maybe not in America, like estate wagons.
Counterfit
They've sold wagons in the US. And briefly a truck, but wagons are consistent.
AnUpvote
I meant wagons overall, as many of them aren't available in North America. Same as the availability of manual gearboxes in many models.
Molotovbliss
Yes the Audi ss wagon isn't sold here in the states, I'm a wagon guy and would buy it in a heartbeat.
AnUpvote
you mean s4 or s6 avant? s5 is a sportback/"coupe". ss: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_Type_SS. I feel bad for you about the RS versions
d3jake
I feel like VW doesn't want to tackle Ford, Dodge, Chevy or GMC in the pickup market.

Off duty cops in Brazil would shoot before asking any questions, saves alot of work time. Sprinkle some crack on the bodies

Where?
Pawnderlust
Highway outside of kamloops heading toward Logan lake pretty much the entire Coquihalla from Kelowna to Chilliwack except around Merritt
giitsok
Yeah mostly in the prairies. Also the Coquihalla is probably the only place in BC
Yetanotherwaytoolongusername69
South Africa is my city
Dobermanpinscher
No you knob. Johannesburg is the City even though I didn't make specific reference to it.
AllTheCoolKidsPeeTheirPants
I was gonna say..... I didn't know a VW pickup truck existed
Taliska
Except here we call them a 'bakkie' :)
AMediocreSubstituteForDave
The US is the largest buying market for pickups. VW sells thier pickup in every market in the world except the US. wtf?
BlackJackBlack
The VW pick up is a bit smaller than the US' pick ups and I think the engine is smaller than 3 liters. Too small for 'muricans
AMediocreSubstituteForDave
tell that to Toyota and Nissan. they've done quite well on small 4cyl pickups
Odinlovesravens
The VW Amarok, I believe slightly bigger than a ford ranger in size, available pretty much everywhere except America.
Xang
Chicken tax!
Odinlovesravens
According to the adds in Australia it can hold a full size pallet in the tray. Ugliest looking Utes I've seen, including the Subaru Brumby!
DYLVN22
Never heard the bed of a truck called a tray. Thank you.
Odinlovesravens
Tray or tub depends on what you've got, usually a tray if all the sides fold down, a tub if only the rear door does, but a spades a spade.

Australians claim to speak English, but they use a rather different thesaurus

how's ur president
Taliska
Take him.... no please, really you can have him...
SirBleepsAlot
Lol. my ex says he's as dumb as a box of rocks. is this true?
Taliska
his highest qualification is a grade 4 certificate... that is unfortunately a true fact... never even matriculated and is barely literate...
SirBleepsAlot
Jesus christ. that sucks. hope u get a better President
Taliska
If you see him doing a speech on the telly, try looking real close at his speech notes, massive print, simple words...

This is beautiful, but dangerous.I boxed in a felon and got side swiped. PD still got him. Still worth it

I pitted someone that was running from the police. Insurance said it was wilful damage to my car. Shop the guy robbed paid for repairs.
GingerlySharlie2718
I did not understand 'shop the guy robbed paid for repairs'...
transluc3nt
The felon stole from an auto shop, they paid for the repairs on the car. DUH
xcrit
140 char limit. My insurance said no, we won't pay. The shop the guy robbed covered all the repairs.
MybolognahasafirstnameitsBAMBI
When that happens, are you responsible for your own damaes or are they?
strviking
Worst case just use collision coverage, yeah you have to pay the deductible but that shouldn't be huge any ways,
strviking
And your insurance company will go after the other guys coverage if they can recoup losses. If your at least less then 50%at fault it won't
strviking
Be considered an at fault claim and while that can still technically cause an increase its not the same as an at fault
DoctorZebra
Couldn't that go under citizens arrest or something? Also if someone could elaborate for me since I'm not a lawyer
ChickenFingersYT
As the cop who writes the accident report...... the runnner........
Mikec311
The only reply with anything valid to say get a lost in the fray as usual..
DefinitelyMaybeNotSkynet
Probably relies on how he was driving. If he was driving in any manner deemed illegal to try and help then he is on the hook.
xplag
Some states have a separate fund for victims of crime. Qualifying varies, but it could be an option if you don't have full coverage.
PerryCoxMD
Victims of a violent crime (which you could argue for a hit an run), get their shit covered if nobody else can. Source: Happened to me.
LuvMeMore
You are most likely
sugwhite
That's a weird complement. But, I guess I'll take it. Thanks, LuvMeMore
MybolognahasafirstnameitsBAMBI
That's what I figured
LuvMeMore
Yeah to the best of my knowledge it has to do with the actions you took to prevent damage, and since you put yourself in the way of it...
buddha1313
In the US any damage you cause purposefully to your auto is excluded. Running some guy down in psudo vigilante style would be excluded.
bisqwit
Excluded from having to pay it oneself? Excluded from reimbursement from insurance?
buddha1313
late reply. Excluded meaning insurance won't pay anything.
Uuudd
The other comment still holds, but it entirely depends on the fault of state you live in and where the accident occured. In commonwealths
Uuudd
In states where traditional fault is held your entire case can be lost if you are even partially at fault. 90/10 their fault? They wont pay!

Parking lots are no fault areas, you legally always are responsible for your own damage, even if you were parked and not in your car!
