6 years ago we had car accident. My mom died in few minutes. We were begging people for help. No one stopped until a group of teenagers who saw us suffering decided to help us. Sometimes some people need help.
I'f It's any consolation, I made the clown car comment but I gave you an upvote right after your comment. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, Yo' Mama is so skanky, her idea of safe sex is to lock the car doors.
People buy horsepower but you drive torque. Especially if there are traction issues, like bodies, or you need to push or pull things, also like bodies.
Armed people actually hitting your car with clear intent to get inside has been ruled sufficient grounds for using your vehicle lethally in self-defense on multiple occasions. This attack would actually be sufficient to legally justify pulling a gun and shooting them.
I'd love to see a John Wick style movie that starts with an honest to goodness protagonist being stopped like this for no reason and just trying to survive but mysteriously being so good at it and it just keeps going
Children of Men doesn't start that way, it has a bombing instead, but there's a waylaid car scene about halfway through with British country bandits...
Deathwish Bronson 1974 - 'Death Wish'. The director, Michael Winner told Bronson, It's about a man whose wife and daughter are mugged and he goes out and shoots muggers" . "I'd like to do that," Bronson said. "The film?" asked Winner. Bronson replied, "No . . . shoot muggers."
Police pull overs at night, always drive to a lit area with people. Professional officers understand there are criminals faking as unmarked undercover police pull overs. Probably not so easy outside the city though.
I can't tell if you're being serious or not. Perhaps you didn't see the video of the cop doing a pit maneuver on a pregnant woman's car because she was attempting do as you said. So you either get killed by criminals or by cops.
Nope, don’t think it is SA, it has the wrong roadside bollards and the commercial trucks don’t have the SA yellow reflective stripe. Both Thailand and Indonesia have this style of bollard and both drive on the left! (Geoguessr.com is awesome)
There's no action he can take, in these moments. Lower a window and shoot? No, they're bulletproof and his best protection. He is fully prepped for the potential next actions and completely calm.
Well, he could get his rifle and start firing wildly back at the attacker, but that's definitely not a good idea. If the car crashed or got disabled and the attackers got closer I'd be happy he was there with his rifle ready.
It’s a low profile SUV. Fully armored but armored trucks were being targeted. So they go disguised as regular SUVs for courier services but they’re heavily defended.
In first world countries people keep thinking it's weird that I try to see from a distance if anyone is close to the car we're going to get into. That or they find it odd that I'm constantly expecting someone to run up to the car while at a stop street or red light. Hell even on bridges or tunnels my most recent partner found it amusing that I'm trying to see if any cars can block our route forward/backwards. South Africa man, it creates a special kinda paranoia.
Yarp. It has its problems, but then there are upsides compared to places like the states. For example if I lived in the states I would've been SUPER in debt just from my medical stuff.
the most insane part to me is the people confidently standing in front of the car. like dude... what do you think happens when they hit the gas pedal? are you fucking superman? are you going to parry the blunt force trauma of a car crushing your body with your machete?
Some people panic. Some people will have their brain tell them they can't drive there because there's material in the way or be unwilling to commit murder to get out of a bad spot. If you're desperate or stupid enough to resort to car jacking to begin with, a little bit of chicken is absolutely on the table
I would have to disable the autobreak feature, which I barely remember how to do when I'm not in stressful situations. Car wouldn't back up because bike rack was blocking the sensor, and once had someone cut in front of me, then full stop - auto break engaged and I couldn't even try to go around them without backing up first.
Then back up and drive over them again. And again. And again, if necessary. And when they stop moving, get out of your car, lock it, and drive away in theirs. That'll show 'em.
Yeah, sadly saw a similar video where people got out with guns, he drove straigh but got shot from the back and died a few minutes later. I wonder if someone has a gun, do you give him your car or try to run away?
They are still pointing weapons at you, in your car you are at a better position than when you get out to hand it over. They could still shoot you even if you comply. Fuck that, head down and peddle to the metal (always easily said from the sidelines, i would not know how i’d react for real)
What is this? fucking interstate pirates??…if that was America the guy with the hammer woulda got two thru the windshield and then ida speed bumped those other two while riding off to Taylor swift

I feel like gunning it in drive just as that guy pulled out the weapon was the right answer.

In certain situations and bad neighborhood at stop lights, I leave enough room to drive around the car in front of me.

I leave enough room to drive around in good neighborhoods in broad daylight. You never know what's gonna happen, and having a escape plan is nice.

Your car is your best offensive weapon in these situations. Drive defensively, then start squishing fuckers.

There are no accidents just happy little bumps.

Happy little intentional bumps, because they tried to cross a mf’er.

Drive offensively. The best defense is a great offense.

Until the cop gets impatient and tries to murder you for not stopping fast enough.

Also, if in a remote area call 911. Explain you are being pulled over, give your location, and request confirmation.

Here’s the extended interview and video. https://youtu.be/lsu6AhYzG_4?si=wlhkhkjpiTCBxO97
The guy with the gun is on literally his 4th day on the job. The driver was a 12 year veteran and former Police sniper.
qazxswedcvfrtgbnhyujmkiol
It's even more incredible with sound! The calmness especially of the driver is unbelievable.
Sargonas
Watching the video with audio, it is clear this is NOT the driver's first rodeo, or the worst he has dealt with.
Cosmicbacklash
I love the trigger discipline on that guy. Superb.
Shutupandpour
Not his first rodeo.
th3guy
Actually was his first rodeo. The guy with the gun was a rookie.
HafCoJoe
The passenger was stunned into inaction, it shows the difference in experience from the driver. I don't blame him, that's terrifying.
Shutupandpour
There's no action he can take, in these moments. Lower a window and shoot? No, they're bulletproof and his best protection. He is fully prepped for the potential next actions and completely calm.
GadenKerensky
I don't think those windows can lower.
BatmanAndCradleRobin
Its also that the driver has control of the situation though. Not much a passenger can do but hurry up and wait
HafCoJoe
That's also true
Falkh12
he could turn on the music and start the Need for Speed track list
ididntwannadothis
That’s the 4th core value of the Air Force. Hurry up and wait

Well, he could get his rifle and start firing wildly back at the attacker, but that's definitely not a good idea. If the car crashed or got disabled and the attackers got closer I'd be happy he was there with his rifle ready.

Both of these guys are gangster.

Even If you don’t get the precisions you wish (most likely because they’re unavailable) you don’t need to act ungrateful.

The robbers messed up and didn't properly block the vehicle.

Even if they block you, that just means you can crush them between your car and theirs.

Then back up and drive over them again. And again. And again, if necessary. And when they stop moving, get out of your car, lock it, and drive away in theirs. That'll show 'em.
