Wow this guy is lucky...not sure if it was that or skill or situational awareness of one's surroundings as the article notes. But hey the driver got away with his life and also yes his car. Not what some suggest doing in such situations as its only a car and can be replaced but congrats to the driver and be careful next time!

What would fellow rennlister's do in such a situation? I will say that this is one reason why I am licensed to carry in multiple states! LOL

Proves once more than Porsche drivers > BMW.

Yeah, Nelson Mandela certainly earned his Nobel Peace prize - he has really made South Africa a better place

 

Great video!

 

cool find.

 

Quick thinking by the 911 driver!

 

I have a Airborne Ranger badge on each of my cars... its a hint that i'm carrying... and know what to do with it.

Also - if you carry a bat in your car... make sure to keep a glove in the trunk. Your lawyer will appreciate this.

 

I am guessing the Apartheid laws were probably more responsible for the grinding poverty, low social status and subsequent crime amongst the black South Africans than Mandela.

 

At first glance, I thought this might have been about a 911 in Tijuana...

Driver in the video immediately knew something was up. Good situational awareness.

 

I don't get it. The glove to suggest that you were going to batting cage?

 

i suspect that the lawyer could then use that to imply that you are not paranoid and habitual bat wielder. Makes sense.

 

No fingerprints on the bat?
Besides, we learned from OJ's trial that "if it doesn't fit, you must acquit!"

So carry a really small glove and, ideally, run carjackers over. Reverse and repeat for good measure.
Next, chase the getaway car and dispense justice or at least follow from a distance and call the cops

 

Maybe it was Guido the killer pimp.

 

The driver did the best thing possible. Good situational awareness, stayed in the car and used it to get away.

IMO, the worst thing the driver could have done would be to get out, the robber already had his weapon out and had the drop on the driver if they did get out. If that robber was committed shots would have been fired, he clearly wasn't expecting the person in the car to react that quickly and speed away.

If it was an assassination attempt then shots would have been fired anyway.

Most people are easy targets in their car. Playing with their phone, not paying attention, windows down...

 

Need for this:

 

I don't understand what is happening in this picture. Does the guy have a flamethrower in his pants?
