Haha +1 bet they were loving seeing the geek stranded after endangering oncoming traffic with his appalling driving.
BoCanada- he nearly lost it numerous times with the TC off. He cannot drive or needs a new pair of glasses

Plain and simple: you drive irresponsibily (passing dangerously) and stupidly, and this will happen eventually. Mabie next time hell spend some money modding the handeling of the car.

That guy can't drive at all. The video shouldn't have slowed the impact part down. It would have seemed a lot worse if it was played at full speed. I would have played it all the way through at full speed THEN do an instant replay in slow motion. Just a little editing opinion.

What a douche...
There was no more than a couple hundred feet worth of forward visibility on that road because of the curves, and that moron was going 100...
Well, at least he learned his lesson, albeit the hard way.

Wow - I had a knot in my stomach during that whole video. I kept imagining my wife/kids in the oncoming lane and this idiot passing on a corner or something.
He was driving way over his head the whole time - what a complete moron. Glad nobody got hurt.

I just don't understand what he's thinking. Twisty 2-lane roads are not the place for a torquey pig like the E55. I'd hesitate to push my M5 to those levels on that kind of road. Save it for P-cars and Elises.

If I'd have been one of the cars he'd passed (which less face it is a remote possibility) I'd have slowed and chucked a choice phrase his way. My German is a little rusty nowadays so "arschloch" would have had to suffice.

Succinctly put.
A couple of months back I was driving up Mulholland Dr. with a gf when a 7-series (750Li from the look of it) came storming up behind and tailgated me. I went for it and it was hilarious watching this dumb, facelifted hag trying to keep up while her limo lurched through the bends dropping ever further back.
Unfortunately, I had to slow as I ran into traffic but had it gone on my aim was for her to send herself into the armco crash barrier.
I'm not heartless, it's a higher powers way of weeding out the wheat from the chaff.
