In this case, it’s all the more ridiculous when you realize the whole chase started because a driver failed to yield.

The amount of air caught seems to have taken the driver by surprise, as control was lost pretty soon after landing. You could argue that more driver training would help, but at the same time, aside from providing videos like this, it’s hard to tell what positive benefit these high speed chases really provide?

Not really convinced a Crown Brick would have stuck the landing any better, and that Exploder CERTAINLY protected it’s idiotic occupant better in the ensuing crash.

The UAW will never be “out of the woods” as long as it exists.  It is corrupt from top to bottom, rotten to the core, and it always will be.

It’s unfortunately the same with any union. Teachers’ unions keep awful teachers around no matter how terrible they are. The UAW keeps lazy workers around no matter how badly they perform their job. The problem with police unions is that when the police screw up, it’s usually a life or death matter. 

This. No serious police reform will occur while the police unions have the amount of clout that they do.

but the union workers he betrayed is are still feeling the effects.

No, no, no. Unions are inherently good, right Eric?

The largest part of my admittedly limited union experience was when I worked at UPS loading semi-trailers in college and was (forced) in Teamsters. My negative attitude started there. It was typically the more senior members who were completely working the system. The standard play they used was to go to a high volume…

UAW is a Union and thus inherently good, right Mr. Shilling?

The UAW, Police Unions, it’s almost like union bring corruption.

Wish I had this when I slept in my car in Louisiana one night last year. It was either sweat to death or get eaten alive.

Most jurisdictions consider the obstruction of traffic an illegal activity and have developed rules to prosecute those who block, obstruct, impede, or otherwise interfere with the normal flow of vehicular or pedestrian traffic upon a public street or highway.
GET OFF THE DAMN ROAD.

You can’t be serious.  You are comparing the Chinese crackdown on protesters to what is happening now?  What an utter and complete lack of understanding.  You REALLY have to check your history before making idiotic comparisons like this.  As long as people THINK these are comparable events, we will NEVER make the…

Erik doesn’t give a shit about cars anyways, unless it’s a Honda Fit.

Just smells to me like something a shitty YouTuber with no integrity would cook up for more exposure. Maybe he’s like the car guy version of that couple who “rehomed” their adopted child in recent news.

This is the quality journalism I’ve come to expect from Jalopnik.

I find it interesting you described the linked article as “how terror groups and the alt-right have increasingly used cars as weapons,” when the linked article has many incidents, but only two possible “right wing” one an accused (and likely) Nazi sympathizer, and an uncited “white supremacists mad about Black Lives…

I’m genuinely curious to know what the actual correct protocol is if your car gets swarmed by violent protestors???
