Good critical thinking! it's not actually true. The driver was just drunk, there was no woman at all:
Ah, yes. We don’t actually know, but let’s blame a dumb woman. Welcome to the Internet. Welcome to Imgur!
The scary thing is how many people are willing to pounce on that imaginary woman. "Yeah, seems legit, women are dumb!" big oof.
If you’re part of the 13% of women on Imgur (by 2017 stats) you’re used to it by now. We live in the future but sexism is still rife

Yeah unknown. Posted originally to LiveLeaks with the only info being the title OP posted. Someone pulled it as you can see in the vid.
(via https://www.reddit.com/r/quityourbullshit/comments/4rdmm5/fictional_gf_pulls_the_ebrake_causing_a_massive/ )
Oof, Someone saw a frankly spectacular crash and thought: "How can I get even more points for this? I know! Misogyny!"

iknowitsnotbutter
DJScrambles
That's cool, but the rear wheel locked up entirely which is only possible if you yank the ebrake. Reddit, the world's smartest dumb people
Clarification only refers to its "girlfriend" issue — it does not necessarily take issue with the e-brake; it even accepts the possibility.
Got it, so people are just mad over the potential sexism of Schroedinger's gf since you can't tell at all who's in the car
MisspentYouth333
Yes
Skawomplious
I'm confused. That car is new enough to have ABS, and only the rears locked up. SOMEBODY pulled a handbrake there.
AntiPiety
Could be a manual, tried to downshift to race bikers but money shifted into first gear instead? This looks like a volkswagen sedan FF tho
killernerd
afaik volkswage doesn't make any RWD cars, only FWD (or AWD). So pretty sure someone pulled the e-brake there.
Crazy though I’ve owned 3 cars, driven plenty and none have a strong enough brake to do that even at 5 mph
Yeah, the driver did. He dumb.
[deleted]
1metalnation
Then all 4 would've locked. There's definitely a handbrake that was pulled
I guess I could buy a frozen diff, is that a RWD car?
Ok stop. Brake bias in a fucking VW sedan? The fucking diff? Shut up my dude, it is obviously the hand brake.
Please keep challenging the professional mechanic and son of a multi champion racer.
That car is front wheel drive. So no diff in the rear. Even if it did have a diff in the rear it's going to be an open diff so no locking

Poop brake? I mean in this context we could call it that.
Note: I know it means parking
In this case it certainly was poop brake
ediddy631
There was no girlfriend, guy was a drunk driver
innagaddavidababy
Driver is risking her life, she has the right to intervene. He didn’t give her a lot of better choices.
she chose a stupid way to intervene though, basically killed all traction and possibly damaged the engine too (not that it counts now)
PantheraLykan
Anything is better than "flip the car at highway speeds". I'd say that counts as choosing poorly.
bravecatgaming
Driver had reckless behaviour, passenger had suicidal behavior. If someone is pointing a gun but wasn't gonna shoot it are you gonna-
Slap them and risk a misfire?
Logwarrior999
She chose the worst option
Argondey
While I think there were certainly better choices, I think it's fair to say she probably didn't realize this would be the outcome.
Dagordae
She flipped the car. She stopped the situation by jumping right to the bad outcome of the situation. That’s like preventing a house fire by
Burning down the house. She prevented an accident by crashing the car.
AnimalGenetaliaAudioClues
But stupid enough to race bike?
baronMarbleBreaker
Even intelligent people do dumb things when in a state of panic. If she was scared, her mind might have gone to “stop this at all cost”.

If I risked the life of my wife or kids, like that driver did, and they pulled the brake because they were scared of dying, I wouldn’t be...
blaming them. Not saying I haven’t driven stupidly aggressive, because I have. But I can admit it was stupid. He put his companion at risk.
roscoflex
Fair to say that his actions put them at risk, but her actions doomed them. He *might have* have crashed them, but she *did* crash them
No argument.
rosshell2718
Decades ago after I just got my drivers license my best friend put my car into reverse from the passenger seat while waiting at a light. 1/?
I caught it, and I was mad. But he said he did it to teach me never to let go of the shifter while driving. Something about being manly…2/3
To this day I always keep my hand on the shifter even in an automatic.
EinkaufenZweikaufen
You should have both hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. Not worry about some nutjob inside your car fucking w the gears.
BlyroneBlashinton
You‘re friend is a fucking idiot.
Barrum
And he's a fucking idiot for going along with it
KindofaBadPerson
Right? She could have shifted it into neutral or something.
Andreanne
There's a guard against that on automatic cars, it could've been in the US, they don't drive stick a lot.
is that actually safe without the clutch?
Safer than the E-brake. Lol
Timheretoo
You’re right. She should have waited until he came to a safe stop, thanked him for a fun day, then bashed his car to shit with a bat.
Or died in the street race, either way
Had me in the first half, ngl.
Tell him to stop and let you out. If he doesn't, call the cops and report that you're being held hostage. Describe the car. Give the plate#.
Damnenginelight
And then he tries to snatch the phone and *points to video*.
But then at least she can stand on the moral high ground that she didn't cause the accident. While lying in a pool of her own blood.
Necrolai
Everyone in this vid is stupid..
TheKnightOfThirteen
Yeah, the girl pulling the break is at worst the second stupidest person in that vehicle.
NinjaPoopy
She's the only one that caused a crash so she has first place in my book
Do you blame the criminal who walked into the bank with a gun for the hostages who died or the police?
D3C3PT1C0N4564
Agreed
There is no girl, it's a made up title. My vote goes for the idiot who wanted to race the bikes instead. That seems stupid and the #1 cause.
Driver made a decision to risk his girlfriend’s life. Girlfriend was trying to protect herself. Unfortunate ending.
Where's the proof that anyone other than the driver was in the car? This is just a title OP made up for extra points
ACDNGUY
Her pulling the hand brake is far more dangerous they him driving fast. He presented some risk. She presented major risk. Not equal.
DiracsDelta
Unfortunate indeed. Lucky she didn’t kill the bikers.
Dunno, with how they are driving they’re going to get someone killed sooner or later. Might as well be with/by someone equally culpable.
RichardHanna
How are the bikers culpable??
Speeding and weaving through traffic. That puts them one crime higher than the man, who was merely speeding. Bikes have to follow the same
Road rules as everyone else. When 2 groups of fuckwits collide, it’s best if neither walk away. Otherwise they might hit an innocent
Agree.
BionicBeach
Hate to have to say this but going 20 miles over the speed limit is a lot more excusable then pulling a handbrake as a passenger
schlummi
Dunno, Handbrake kills you and the driver, which is fine. 20 over the limit kills the family in the other car minding their own business.
Wat? Going fast doesn’t necessarily mean you will have an accident. Pulling the handbrake will, and where do you think the car goes? lol
Still better than the traditional head on crash at full speed ... lived near a road where they scraped off speeding kids each weekend.
Fun fact, hitting someone going in the same direction has a much lighter impact that if someone else hits you while you’re stationary
Tyanet
Losing control of the car while going 20 over is just as likely to kill another car full of people, if not way more so.
Y, I was just saying that at the point he started to race he started to endager others. Handbrake is mostly endagering yourself - if no one
else is around. In this situation there are, so it was indeed stupid.
I understand what you're getting at, but that only applies when there's no other drivers on the road. Having control over your car is... 1/2
Otterbotanical
Thank you, someone understanding her position. If I get a ride from a co-worker and they start racing even if I tell them to stop, (1)
Am I expected to just sit back and go fuck myself until they decide to stop? Fuck no. Shouldn't have risked my life against my will.
Absolutely, I agree. If i was actually afraid, i would literally call the cops while in the car. But pulling the handbrake was stupid
‘Dammit, if anyone’s going to crash this car it’s going to be me!’ Trying to prevent a potential accident by crashing the car is rather
Counterproductive.
bongles
Considering the options, yes. "Shouldn't have risked my life, now I'm going to kill us both"
Her pulling the break caused the car to lose control. That obviously wasn’t her goal. She didn’t have the luxury of hind sight like we do.
archwaykitten
Yes, at those speeds you are expected to sit back and calmly plead for them to stop. There's nothing else you can do that will help.
Afterwards, you can get out, get away, end the friendship, call the police, whatever. But as a passenger, you are never in control.
purdhapley
Unfortunate that she caused this accident.
She doesn't actually exist, someone made it up, it was a drunk guy driving with no gf.
It was.
MattDude
He did. Bringing the girl in the first place.
You could have seemed intelligent by saying "He did, he chose to race them", but no, you had to let your issues take over.
Big oof on the women hate there for a woman that doesn't actually exist. Who hurt you buddy?
No, as a matter of fact its the opposite. She was put in danger by him. The imaginary girlfriend. Imho
waitwhat1234
Fair, I guess.
I'm not sure that's how cause and effect work. You can't just skip the immediate initial cause of racing racing bikes
So the bikers caused the accident with their wildly unsafe and illegal driving? You’ve got 3 people/groups at fault here: The bikers for
Speeding and cutting traffic, the man for speeding, or the woman who pulled the emergency break. As only one of the 3 directly lead to a
Crash, that’s the cause. You can’t just start in the middle to declare fault.
Dominator497
Yeah but not in a remotely unsafe way. Not defending his driving, but presuming she has a license too - this is her fault definitely.
If he would have been going the speed limit and she pulled the ebrake it's still probably an accident. You wouldn't call it his fault then.
OneUpperSteve
Only the driver should be operating the vehicle’s controls. Wreck is her fault.
No one should put anyone into a situation where they think their life is at risk. He could have killed them and the motorcyclist.
Instead, she almost did...
evilspock
Correct. But by pulling that brake, she caused the accident. She absolutely shares blame.
Vatatheo
He shouldn't have been racing, but the immediate cause of the accident was her pulling the E-brake.
ferron99
I'm going to have to disagree.
Fair enough.
mikeybagodonuts
I agree with your disagreeing. If he hadn’t hadn’t been fucking around this would not have happened. And fuck bikers that ride like this.
kadaeux
Well you're factually incorrect.
warmNchewey
Ya but you also should never get near a car if you that at highway speed it would ever be a good idea to pull a handbrake...
Think*
Judging and blaming the most stupid mistake in a series of stupid mistakes is one perspective.
OR...totally understanding that this accident was caused by pulling the cars handbrake at a high rate of speed...but ok...
The passenger forcefully removed control from the driver. She caused the wreck. Now is the challenge to prove she pulled the brake.

Barrum
And he's a fucking idiot for going along with it
KindofaBadPerson
Right? She could have shifted it into neutral or something.
Andreanne
There's a guard against that on automatic cars, it could've been in the US, they don't drive stick a lot.
BenSnow97
is that actually safe without the clutch?
KindofaBadPerson
Safer than the E-brake. Lol
Timheretoo
You’re right. She should have waited until he came to a safe stop, thanked him for a fun day, then bashed his car to shit with a bat.
valen00
Or died in the street race, either way
camobranson
Had me in the first half, ngl.
linearcore
Tell him to stop and let you out. If he doesn't, call the cops and report that you're being held hostage. Describe the car. Give the plate#.
Damnenginelight
And then he tries to snatch the phone and *points to video*.
linearcore
But then at least she can stand on the moral high ground that she didn't cause the accident. While lying in a pool of her own blood.
Necrolai
Everyone in this vid is stupid..
TheKnightOfThirteen
Yeah, the girl pulling the break is at worst the second stupidest person in that vehicle.
NinjaPoopy
She's the only one that caused a crash so she has first place in my book
valen00
Do you blame the criminal who walked into the bank with a gun for the hostages who died or the police?
D3C3PT1C0N4564
Agreed
CattocC
There is no girl, it's a made up title. My vote goes for the idiot who wanted to race the bikes instead. That seems stupid and the #1 cause.

Driver made a decision to risk his girlfriend’s life. Girlfriend was trying to protect herself. Unfortunate ending.
PonyMadness
Where's the proof that anyone other than the driver was in the car? This is just a title OP made up for extra points
ACDNGUY
Her pulling the hand brake is far more dangerous they him driving fast. He presented some risk. She presented major risk. Not equal.
DiracsDelta
Unfortunate indeed. Lucky she didn’t kill the bikers.
Dagordae
Dunno, with how they are driving they’re going to get someone killed sooner or later. Might as well be with/by someone equally culpable.
RichardHanna
How are the bikers culpable??
Dagordae
Speeding and weaving through traffic. That puts them one crime higher than the man, who was merely speeding. Bikes have to follow the same
Dagordae
Road rules as everyone else. When 2 groups of fuckwits collide, it’s best if neither walk away. Otherwise they might hit an innocent
soon
Agree.
BionicBeach
Hate to have to say this but going 20 miles over the speed limit is a lot more excusable then pulling a handbrake as a passenger
schlummi
Dunno, Handbrake kills you and the driver, which is fine. 20 over the limit kills the family in the other car minding their own business.
BionicBeach
Wat? Going fast doesn’t necessarily mean you will have an accident. Pulling the handbrake will, and where do you think the car goes? lol
schlummi
Still better than the traditional head on crash at full speed ... lived near a road where they scraped off speeding kids each weekend.
BionicBeach
Fun fact, hitting someone going in the same direction has a much lighter impact that if someone else hits you while you’re stationary
Tyanet
Losing control of the car while going 20 over is just as likely to kill another car full of people, if not way more so.
schlummi
Y, I was just saying that at the point he started to race he started to endager others. Handbrake is mostly endagering yourself - if no one
schlummi
else is around. In this situation there are, so it was indeed stupid.
Tyanet
I understand what you're getting at, but that only applies when there's no other drivers on the road. Having control over your car is... 1/2
Otterbotanical
Thank you, someone understanding her position. If I get a ride from a co-worker and they start racing even if I tell them to stop, (1)
Otterbotanical
Am I expected to just sit back and go fuck myself until they decide to stop? Fuck no. Shouldn't have risked my life against my will.
tangybreath
Absolutely, I agree. If i was actually afraid, i would literally call the cops while in the car. But pulling the handbrake was stupid
Dagordae
‘Dammit, if anyone’s going to crash this car it’s going to be me!’ Trying to prevent a potential accident by crashing the car is rather
Dagordae
Counterproductive.
bongles
Considering the options, yes. "Shouldn't have risked my life, now I'm going to kill us both"
soon
Her pulling the break caused the car to lose control. That obviously wasn’t her goal. She didn’t have the luxury of hind sight like we do.
archwaykitten
Yes, at those speeds you are expected to sit back and calmly plead for them to stop. There's nothing else you can do that will help.
archwaykitten
Afterwards, you can get out, get away, end the friendship, call the police, whatever. But as a passenger, you are never in control.
purdhapley
Unfortunate that she caused this accident.
ShitIstoleFrom4chan
She doesn't actually exist, someone made it up, it was a drunk guy driving with no gf.
soon
It was.
MattDude
He did. Bringing the girl in the first place.
CattocC
You could have seemed intelligent by saying "He did, he chose to race them", but no, you had to let your issues take over.
ShitIstoleFrom4chan
Big oof on the women hate there for a woman that doesn't actually exist. Who hurt you buddy?
MattDude
No, as a matter of fact its the opposite. She was put in danger by him. The imaginary girlfriend. Imho
waitwhat1234
Fair, I guess.
waitwhat1234
I'm not sure that's how cause and effect work. You can't just skip the immediate initial cause of racing racing bikes
Dagordae
So the bikers caused the accident with their wildly unsafe and illegal driving? You’ve got 3 people/groups at fault here: The bikers for
Dagordae
Speeding and cutting traffic, the man for speeding, or the woman who pulled the emergency break. As only one of the 3 directly lead to a
Dagordae
Crash, that’s the cause. You can’t just start in the middle to declare fault.
Dominator497
Yeah but not in a remotely unsafe way. Not defending his driving, but presuming she has a license too - this is her fault definitely.
Dominator497
If he would have been going the speed limit and she pulled the ebrake it's still probably an accident. You wouldn't call it his fault then.
OneUpperSteve
Only the driver should be operating the vehicle’s controls. Wreck is her fault.
soon
No one should put anyone into a situation where they think their life is at risk. He could have killed them and the motorcyclist.
OneUpperSteve
Instead, she almost did...
evilspock
Correct. But by pulling that brake, she caused the accident. She absolutely shares blame.
Vatatheo
He shouldn't have been racing, but the immediate cause of the accident was her pulling the E-brake.
ferron99
I'm going to have to disagree.
Vatatheo
Fair enough.
mikeybagodonuts
I agree with your disagreeing. If he hadn’t hadn’t been fucking around this would not have happened. And fuck bikers that ride like this.
kadaeux
Well you're factually incorrect.
warmNchewey
Ya but you also should never get near a car if you that at highway speed it would ever be a good idea to pull a handbrake...
warmNchewey
Think*
waitwhat1234
Judging and blaming the most stupid mistake in a series of stupid mistakes is one perspective.
warmNchewey
OR...totally understanding that this accident was caused by pulling the cars handbrake at a high rate of speed...but ok...
OneUpperSteve
The passenger forcefully removed control from the driver. She caused the wreck. Now is the challenge to prove she pulled the brake.
