I spend a lot of time on the highways. 9 out of 10 times when I see stupid agressive driving on the highways the car make is a BMW.

That said, we drive an X5 as our weekend hauler

Maybe the driver was not screaming because of a loss of consensus. Despite the fact that the car only slid on its side, there is still a lot of there is still more than enough energy to cause a LOC. Heads and there contents tend to bounce around a lot in high speed MVA's. And yea what an A-Hole.

^^ Speaking of potential loss of consciousness:
gotta admire this UK cop who gets hit AND then pursues on foot...

Not staged or fake. Looks like a drive cam set up in a commercial vehicle. They automatically record the road and driver in case of an accident. They can show who caused what in an accident. I believe they get a break on their insurance premium with the system installed in a whole fleet of vehicles.

That BMW parked in front of the fire hydrant was on this evenings NBC news. A good ad for BMW...NOT! Two busted windows and $100 fine. One A%#Hole like that can undo the work of 100 polite BMW drivers.

Uh, Guys. "Beemers" only have 2 wheels. Do you mean "Bimmers" - the cars? Read the BMW CCA handout for new members. It explains the difference.

And, it certainly isn't a driving habit exclusive to Bimmer drivers. Down, here in Floor-EEE-Duh, it's all kinds from Hyundai "Effluent" drivers to Ferrari drivers.

Here's what I don't get.... The second photo shows the fire hose making an acute turn to be routed through the windows of the car. If you're going to smash windows to route the hose wouldn't it be for the sake of flow and no kinks? Doesn't appear so in that case ^ they'd have been better off routing it around the car...?

That's an optical illusion as the hose connected to the hydrant spirals up through the opened window and appears to be pinched and is feeding the pump truck.
