I would normally agree that you should stay in your car, but they were out in the middle of nowhere and he would’ve been a sitting duck. He waited until it was safe and got the f#ck out. Turns out is was a wise move because his car got hit by at least one other car. If he had stayed put, he would have been in a car…

Getting out is not a good idea, but the worse idea was stopping where he did - on the outside of the corner.

Orlove was not counting on a Jalopnik reader lasting a whole year.

Classic Ikea cabinetry: sawdust held together by formaldehyde.

Should’ve fired Ventura after the Spain blowout. This team was atrocious.

“Shit. I spent 3 dollars on this Ben McAdoo haircut, and now I’m getting thrown out before he sees me.”

I use this all the time in working club motorcycle racing corners and control riding track days: “No two situations are exactly the same; use your best judgement.”

He did exactly the right thing. He checked his mirrors and waited for a clear spot before exiting his vehicle and got over the Armco before any other cars came past. If he had stayed in his car, he would have been clobbered by the backward sliding red car. That is what happened to the car on the opposite of the track…

I’ll agree that he put himself at risk, but he did that by pulling out onto the track in the first place. This is “What to do in the event of an accident” but doesn’t seem to require that your vehicle be involved, so under a strict reading, the driver unquestionably failed to put up his warning triangle, and we should…

If you can’t bypass the crash and you can’t reverse, the obstacle (his car) is going to be there regardless.

Generally I’d agree with you 100%. But interestingly, the Nurburgring itself says you should get out, set up your triangle, and warn people who come up behind you.

Maybe it was his first time driving a 911, so he thought everything should be done backwards.

This car is much better with auto trans!

Go to better restaurants.

Posted this elsewhere, but “safe” lanesplitting happens in slow/stopped traffic. Lanesplitting at a traffic light means three things:

Just listened to it on youtube. That does sound very good. It’s so weird seeing a sound like that from a car/brand that isn’t traditionally like that. I would expect those noises from Abarth, hot hatches, some Japanese tuners, etc. but seeing it come from a Benz is pretty cool.

No. That is evidence that one man ran in front of another running man and was knocked down. Also, an attorney would point out in court the first man was not authorized to be running in that spot, while the second man was.
