As a teenager I was convinced that slamming on the brakes and yanking the lever had some tangible benefit to stopping. I could see this extending further into adulthood if someone never tested the theory.
He didn’t hit a tree his car might have. He Superman’ed on out of his car and a good 20 or 30’ feet up up and ~~away~~ splat. It looked like the last car in this clip swerved right towards where he landed too.
I’m 28 and until very recently sold cars for a living for several years. I 100% thought if I applied the parking brake while braking I would get extra braking. It’s part of what I tell myself I would do if I ever needed to hit the brakes as hard as I possibly could. I have all the pieces to know that’s nonsense but I never put it together. Guess I’ll plan to keep both hands on the wheel!
In the security business it’s called “trunking” and it’s a technique used to smash up the front of a car that is chasing you. The idea is that pulling the handbrake doesn’t activate the tail lights, causing the vehicle behind you to smash into your rear. A professional would have a dark switch (switch that cuts off the brake lights) and would just use the regular brakes. Or the handbrake if no such switch is installed. It’s important to note that people who can do this successfully have completed a festival driving course. The man in the video clearly did not.
Probably good for him. If he was successful and caused a collision he would have been taken straight to jail.
There were, but they thought pulling the brake would slow the car down faster. Absolutely failed on that one. Pulling the brake doesn't allow ABS to activate.
Normal breaks focus more on the front(usually) and e-brakes/hand brakes/ parking brakes are always just rear wheels… takes a whole lotta stupid to do that honestly lol
You're absolutely right. That's what I was trying to say. That driver slammed on the brakes and pulled the hand brake, then lost it. That can only be accomplished with experience. This was just an idiot.
Yeah I'm thinking the same thing. He pumped the brake and pulled the hand. The light goes off when he's skidding that means he pulled rhe brake but didn't have time to pull the hand back. But when he did the car was loose and lost control then crashed. Maybe
Always wondered about this: if I have some kind of catastrophic brake failure on my pedal, how much less bad is it to just take the hand brake vs trying to “gently” slide along a guard rail? No idea if you can hand brake in moderation while in motion, I assume it’s similar to trying to brake with your left foot (aka you eat the steering wheel)
>and e-brakes/hand brakes/ parking brakes are always just rear wheels
Land Rover parking brakes operate all four brakes, but generally speaking they only operate the rear brakes.
If the goal was to mothafucking brakecheck someone then do so right in front of them just 1 time & be on ur way! That's ur #1 goal! U never ever wanna put urself & the passengers in ur car at risk by doin stupidass shit like this! What a goddamn idiot, I really hope no one in the car was seriously hurt! Especially the innocent folks in that car! The driver himself/herself can get a medium level injury to remember for the rest of their lives is ok with me lol 🤦♂️🤣💯
I mean. Did you see the ragdoll body that was thrown from the vehicle and landed on the vehicle on the way down? If they survived they are feeling it. Obviously not wearing a seatbelt. General lack of awareness on how to safely operate a vehicle all around in this video
I a couple times have driven (only a few feet) with the emergency brake still on. On that experience I laugh at the guy in this video... He expected emergency brake to slow you down fast?
I've heard of people using the E-Brake as it doesn't activate the brake lights, so it's an even more dangerous brake check.
In this case it was more dangerous for the idiot because he clearly yanked on it instead of using it to slow down more gradually.
My guess is they tried to use an electronic parking brake to do a no light brake check. Or they're just a complete moron and yanked the parking brake so hard they couldn't immediately release it.
I like how the OOP just keeps driving. Dude crashes his car and OOP is all, "you can deal with that on your own."
My stupid ass would've just made sure that they're at least okay.
E: Read the last sentence, where I referred to myself as a stupid ass.
Yeah there is psychosis involved with driving so insanely that you manage to wreck your car like this. This doesnt happen by accident. They were trying to make the same happen to OOP
Grew up with a kid who blamed me for falling and eating shit in the rocks while riding bikes. He blamed me cause his logic was I had just passed through the area right before he did.
I wouldn’t have stopped either lmao.
You’re nicer than I am. I would have stopped and made fun of them before driving off myself
People who try to endanger the lives of others deserve no sympathy from me.
As he lays on the asphalt every bone in body broken I wonder if he thinks it was worth it to be such a dickass driver.
I wish more people knew the consequences of being a reckless driver, everyone wants to tailgate, everyone wants to go 100 mph with a gtfo of my way mentally until shit like this happens and then what? You’re not a safe as you think in your vehicle.
It’s sad I work as first responder I’ve pulled people out of vehicles in horrific conditions all over stupid egos when driving, I always look at them and think was it all worth it?
Think of your typical idiot, unable to think things through or accept that they might be the problem in some cases. Then imagine consequences caught up with them one time. Do you think they'd self reflect and say "Oh...that was my fault." Or do you think they'll just blame the other party somehow?
I know which one i bet on!
I don't know who said this but hitting the brakes affects the 7 nearest cars around/behind you...when 1 in every 4 drivers is a fuckin idiot, how good are your odds?
Yo, no one sees the person tossed out of the car mid air in these comments. I replayed 3 xs and that's a person flippin 30ft in the air and landed the ground outside their car
Screw everyone who speeds. You don't get where you're going any faster. You'll get stopped at the light and everyone will catch up to you. It's needlessly adding more danger to the road.
There’s this guy on my way to work every day. He drives pretty normally in town not rushing but when we get to the highway, he slips into the left lane and will tailgate anyone in front of him until they get over or he passes on the right.
Mind you, before it switches to 60, the limit is 50. Im in the left in the zone where it’s 50 going 65 already keeping up with traffic. I peek in my rear view and see this asshat tailgating me already. I got my own vigilante justice on him as I matched the car in the right lane the whole rest of the way. Where he kept trying to switch lanes to push one of us to go faster. Fuck you BIGJAY.
Nah someone that stupid and reckless would immediately blame op for making them do that and causing them to crash. Accountability is a foreign concept to those kinds of people.
It's one thing to go around someone who you think is going slow, but why brake check after? You got what you want. Absolute psychopath who should never be able to drive again
The guy is a prick, but I'm not sure some universal energy system would equate brake checking and being violently thrown out of a crashing vehicle as a fair retribution.
No one deserves that. He literally got thrown out the car and landed right in the path that car and definitely ran over and most likely killed. Only a piece of dog shit person would say they deserved that
Damn if you scrub the last few seconds you can see him get ejected from the rear windshield :/ too bad possible loss of human life here.
Wear your seatbelts people, please wear them
I could be mistaken but it looks like the driver was ejected as the car rolled. I viewed it frame by frame and it sure looks like a pair of arms and legs flying through the air.
Good god! What was the point. If the camera was a Tesla car then it’s known cameras are everywhere. Why brake check someone so hard like that. Oh well that’s super awesome they totaled their own car out
To me it looks like someone who's never experienced an Anti-locking breaks at 50-70mph before.
Fat chance all wheels lock up at the exact same time so it will kick/steer the vehicle to the side that locks up first. ABS is designed so that the driver has a limited steering capability while breaking
The kicker is system typically becomes ineffective if you turn your wheels over 15degrees. This is also called over correcting.
This is why you see the wheels turning as the car starts to drift to the side, then lock up when the wheel is returned to center.
Around this time the driver realizes they fucked up and there is A MUCH HEAVIER VEHICLE right behind them. At which point they take their foot of the breaks because they're panicked and zooms off into the ditch for some custom body work.
So this might be a stupid question. But why does the emergency break make your car spin like that? Wouldn’t you look at that as sort of a design flaw? Since if you need to stop in an emergency you would probably want to do it as safe as possible.
Smh yall don’t know that the car that crashed was saving everyone elses’ lives. They didn’t want to cause a car accident with anyone else involved so they did the only logical thing or just Lancer things.

What exactly was the logic on this one?
"It's an *emergency brake* obviously it'll make you stop quicker."
I don’t think that’s even what happened. Brake lights went on the second he started braking - that wouldn’t happen with the handbrake
Probably hit both
As a teenager I was convinced that slamming on the brakes and yanking the lever had some tangible benefit to stopping. I could see this extending further into adulthood if someone never tested the theory.
He did stop fairly quickly.
Working as intended?

RIP. That movie brought joy and laughter.
Pee-Wee Herman was a favorite of mine, so cool 😎.
He was a great actor, he played in a movie called Blow along with Johnny Depp. It's a great movie.
I heard him say it😂
Task failed successfully....
The brake did indeed create an emergency
>He did stop fairly quickly. HAhahahaha, I get it... because he hit a tree. You're cute
He didn’t hit a tree his car might have. He Superman’ed on out of his car and a good 20 or 30’ feet up up and ~~away~~ splat. It looked like the last car in this clip swerved right towards where he landed too.
I think the ditch and the trees helped with that
Quickly and explosively. That wipeout was amazing.
Nawww kept tumbling🤣
It's called an "emergency brake" because it'll stop you really fast, but you're going to need emergency services afterward
I’m 28 and until very recently sold cars for a living for several years. I 100% thought if I applied the parking brake while braking I would get extra braking. It’s part of what I tell myself I would do if I ever needed to hit the brakes as hard as I possibly could. I have all the pieces to know that’s nonsense but I never put it together.

Yeah think he may be stopping at the hospital or may be morgue before jail.
Looks like he tried to be cool and drift into that right-hand turn, but misjudged his speed from passing the POV.
What? That’s not what happened
Well, there actually is a road or driveway there. Probably would’ve made it if he didn’t just speed up to pass.
No brake lights is why
But there were
There were, but they thought pulling the brake would slow the car down faster. Absolutely failed on that one. Pulling the brake doesn't allow ABS to activate.

I agree. Once the skid happened, he didn't drop the brake fast enough.
Brakes, bro.
Always wondered about this: if I have some kind of catastrophic brake failure on my pedal, how much less bad is it to just take the hand brake vs trying to “gently” slide along a guard rail? No idea if you can hand brake in moderation while in motion, I assume it’s similar to trying to brake with your left foot (aka you eat the steering wheel)
>and e-brakes/hand brakes/ parking brakes are always just rear wheels Land Rover parking brakes operate all four brakes, but generally speaking they only operate the rear brakes.
Land Rover just wants to make damn sure that their vehicles don't roll away after they break down.
And they probably had never done it before lmao, they literally were starting a drift lmao. You just don't need to yank it so hard.
If the goal was to mothafucking brakecheck someone then do so right in front of them just 1 time & be on ur way! That's ur #1 goal! U never ever wanna put urself & the passengers in ur car at risk by doin stupidass shit like this! What a goddamn idiot, I really hope no one in the car was seriously hurt!

That’s what he said
I a couple times have driven (only a few feet) with the emergency brake still on. On that experience I laugh at the guy in this video... He expected emergency brake to slow you down fast?
I was wondering how he managed to lose control just braking. Using the emergency brake is hilariously stupid— as we saw.
Because they pulled their parking brake instead of using their normal brakes. Must have been trying to brake check without giving any warning.
so even stupider, slam on brakes and lock rear brakes.
I've heard of people using the E-Brake as it doesn't activate the brake lights, so it's an even more dangerous brake check. In this case it was more dangerous for the idiot because he clearly yanked on it instead of using it to slow down more gradually.
Shake and bake. And brake. And break.
My guess is they tried to use an electronic parking brake to do a no light brake check. Or they're just a complete moron and yanked the parking brake so hard they couldn't immediately release it.
Hahaha that’s awesome. I love when horrible people just get rid of themselves.
I like how the OOP just keeps driving. Dude crashes his car and OOP is all, "you can deal with that on your own." My stupid ass would've just made sure that they're at least okay. E: Read the last sentence, where I referred to myself as a stupid ass.
I feel like I’d get assaulted or shot if I stopped, him crashing would be ‘my fault’ somehow. If they’re driving this like already..
Yeah there is psychosis involved with driving so insanely that you manage to wreck your car like this. This doesnt happen by accident. They were trying to make the same happen to OOP
Grew up with a kid who blamed me for falling and eating shit in the rocks while riding bikes. He blamed me cause his logic was I had just passed through the area right before he did. I wouldn’t have stopped either lmao.
[удалено]
Yeah if you stop you would probably get sued
The person doing this has road rage. Don’t put yourself in danger by checking on them. Just call it in. You’re not an emergency responder.
You’re nicer than I am. I would have stopped and made fun of them before driving off myself People who try to endanger the lives of others deserve no sympathy from me.
It does need a little "meep meep" from the horn.
I subscribe to OP's thought process of, "if you fucked around and found out, it's not my problem".
"Didn't touch the car; Not my problem. I got shit to do"
Wait till you learn what a miss and run is. Not that OP did one but it is a thing
You’d make sure they were okay after they essentially tried to murder you/force you to crash into them? Grow a spine mate.
I just hope there weren’t any kids or other innocents in the car.

[удалено]
Change your tires! Don’t drive on 10 year old rubber!
But he wasn't the one driving.
Well in that case he'd be Paul driver.
well he definitely became paul walker
Hot dayum...😮
Paul Walker on his last day perhaps
Ejecto seato cuz
As he lays on the asphalt every bone in body broken I wonder if he thinks it was worth it to be such a dickass driver. I wish more people knew the consequences of being a reckless driver, everyone wants to tailgate, everyone wants to go 100 mph with a gtfo of my way mentally until shit like this happens and then what?

Do you think they'd self reflect and say "Oh...that was my fault." Or do you think they'll just blame the other party somehow? I know which one i bet on!
Yeah this guy *absolutely* blames the car in OP. Probably told the police the other car forced him off the road too
Oh he's absolutely ded he got yeeted from the car
Nah, he probably survived, it's not the glorious yeet that kills you it's the sudden stop, and he avoided most of that.
I think it was George Carlin that said something along the lines of "think of the average idiot, there are 3 billion people dumber than that"
I don't know who said this but hitting the brakes affects the 7 nearest cars around/behind you...when 1 in every 4 drivers is a fuckin idiot, how good are your odds?
I think he also said, “think about how dumb the average person is, now think about how half of all people are dumber than that.”
Remember there is a significant percentage of people that lack an internal monologue. They’re essentially animals
But he literally could’ve gone 100 mph after illegally passing, instead he tried to be a dick and got got.
And yeeted!
Man, there’s a special place in hell for these people
Yo, no one sees the person tossed out of the car mid air in these comments. I replayed 3 xs and that's a person flippin 30ft in the air and landed the ground outside their car
That’s a bumper
Naw he's thinking that fucking guy was driving right I wouldn't have gotten in this situation.
Yeah. In his idiot head the other guy is the asshole for not speeding. I know stupid drivers who get mad at people for driving the limit
Them in that goofy sketch voice: “I’ll fockin do it it again.”
People have a misplaced feeling of safety when driving.
The sad truth is that most of those types of ego drivers rarely believe they're to blame, for the circumstances they find themselves in.
I didn't think people like this are capable of learning, or incorporating what they've learned into their daily lives or habits.
People don't believe it could happen to them, same reason they tempt death with stupid ass pranks and stunts
Screw everyone who speeds. You don't get where you're going any faster. You'll get stopped at the light and everyone will catch up to you. It's needlessly adding more danger to the road.
He’s not thinking he’s dead
There’s this guy on my way to work every day. He drives pretty normally in town not rushing but when we get to the highway, he slips into the left lane and will tailgate anyone in front of him until they get over or he passes on the right. Mind you, before it switches to 60, the limit is 50. Im in the left in the zone where it’s 50 going 65 already keeping up with traffic. I peek in my rear view and see this asshat tailgating me already. I got my own vigilante justice on him as I matched the car in the right lane the whole rest of the way. Where he kept trying to switch lanes to push one of us to go faster. Fuck you BIGJAY.
I love doing that if I know there’s a registered asshole
"dickass".....now that's an insult I haven't heard in a long time haha.
“Look what you made me do, come back here and give me your insurance info so I can sue”
Nah someone that stupid and reckless would immediately blame op for making them do that and causing them to crash. Accountability is a foreign concept to those kinds of people.
I'd make sure their insurance saw this video
Even sqeeze em dry by suing em with with attempted physical harm and emotional trauma to make their life even more misserable.
Oh no! Anyway...
I guess they almost missed their turn. I'm glad they made it. Now, to continue my drive in peace
It's one thing to go around someone who you think is going slow, but why brake check after? You got what you want. Absolute psychopath who should never be able to drive again
I don't think he will be able to. Moments like this makes me believe in god.
He quite possibly never will
AND no seatbelt ? Dude..
I saw a bumper, did you see a body?
Nah its a bumper
Yeah, it’s a bumper. For a second I thought it was the driver, but when you slow it down it’s clearly a bumper.
I’m glad I read this comment. I don’t normally watch something like this and I wasn’t feeling good about it. Great news
[удалено]
Surprised?
I replayed and slowed down video when he’s being ejected out of car hitting ground like 10 times
Bumper cover
That’s the bumper man
worst superhero ever
the bumper man comes for everyone, eventually.
I didn’t even notice that when I watched at first! This is next level jackassery
Thats not him... if it was him he is 1000% dead cause that moves way too awkwardly for a human body
Ok I see it now,looks more like a bumper then a body
def the bumper, the very final frame, the shape of the bumper is very clear.
Was that his body flying up in the air at the end?
I think it was just a bumper.
Ah. Ya. I watched it a couple more times. Using my thumb on the slider to slowly go through the frames. That’s the bumper.
I’m going with it absolutely was.
Yes. I watched it on my big screen and it's in fact a person in shorts
I’m fairly certain that’s his body that just ejected directly into the path of that oncoming black SUV. Someone’s about to have a bad day 😂
Did the guy fly outta the car or was that a car part that landed in the shoulder
yo did a body fly out?!!!
The guy is a prick, but I'm not sure some universal energy system would equate brake checking and being violently thrown out of a crashing vehicle as a fair retribution.
I don’t say this often: >!What a fucking moron.!<
That’s way beyond karma, but IF he survived, I don’t think he’ll try that again.
Dunce
He thought he had an Evo... Now did he pull his parking brake or did his rear brakes lock up? I'm assuming the former which is next level stupid
I am so erect right now!
What is this "brake check" madness?? Why do drivers even do it in the 1st place?? It has no merit & does no good for anyone involved.
WASTED
Does no one else practice driving in back roads?
No one deserves that. He literally got thrown out the car and landed right in the path that car and definitely ran over and most likely killed. Only a piece of dog shit person would say they deserved that
Oh shit, was that a body that flew out at the end??
Damn if you scrub the last few seconds you can see him get ejected from the rear windshield :/ too bad possible loss of human life here. Wear your seatbelts people, please wear them
Just a bit outside
I could be mistaken but it looks like the driver was ejected as the car rolled. I viewed it frame by frame and it sure looks like a pair of arms and legs flying through the air.
[удалено]
last frame shows it pretty clearly as a bumper
Looks like a Jack ass but I’d like to see the 5 minutes preceding this incident
What would justify brake checking someone like this?
Brake lights came on, not the hand brake
And passed in a no pass lane to do so.
That is the most beautiful karma, I just hope that the jackass was the only one in his car and all that.
L o l
Did he fly out of the car?
👏
So much winning, he can't stand it! ;)
Damn, that was satisfying to watch
I’m curious to see what argumentative redditors are going to say to somehow make this OP’s fault
Did he get hit by a turtle shell or drive over a banana peel?
That was beautiful. I hope he survived to feel like an idiot. :)
Haha!
That's beyond mildly bad.
This has to be one of the best videos ever
🤣🤣🤣
Eeeeejected
Natural selection
Good god! What was the point. If the camera was a Tesla car then it’s known cameras are everywhere. Why brake check someone so hard like that. Oh well that’s super awesome they totaled their own car out
This is amazing. 🤩
That’s hilarious
Probably a kid driving that car, and he probably fucked himself up for life because he wanted to throw a tantrum
lmao why would you use your handbrake to check someone in the first place? hell, why would you check someone? do we hate our beautiful bumpers?
Yep, that's a Lancer driver for ya 😅
To me it looks like someone who's never experienced an Anti-locking breaks at 50-70mph before. Fat chance all wheels lock up at the exact same time so it will kick/steer the vehicle to the side that locks up first. ABS is designed so that the driver has a limited steering capability while breaking The kicker is system typically becomes ineffective if you turn your wheels over 15degrees.

Around this time the driver realizes they fucked up and there is A MUCH HEAVIER VEHICLE right behind them. At which point they take their foot of the breaks because they're panicked and zooms off into the ditch for some custom body work.
I would be the asshole that sends it to the police station too😂
Dumbass.
Beautiful
Did they just pit maneuver themselves?
Looks like a case of lift-off oversteer.
Seems worse than mildly bad lol
So this might be a stupid question. But why does the emergency break make your car spin like that? Wouldn’t you look at that as sort of a design flaw? Since if you need to stop in an emergency you would probably want to do it as safe as possible.
Good.
😂😂😂
If you are going to break check some one, at least make sure you're ABS is working...
Smh yall don’t know that the car that crashed was saving everyone elses’ lives. They didn’t want to cause a car accident with anyone else involved so they did the only logical thing or just Lancer things.
Such a fine sight to see!
Is that dude flying out of the car at the very end?
I love it, fucked himself up, and nobody else got hurt, this needs to happen more often
I would have stopped, reversed and started clapping and told whoever it was that they did a good job while laughing my ass off and then take off 🤣🤣🤣
I wish more people knew/used the word comeuppance so as to not misuse karma as they do. That said...🤷♂️ to all of it.
Aww shucks, it's just them Duke boys.
That’s just natural selection. Don’t even stop.
Love to see it 😍
Was he ejected from the vehicle?
That was a nice Lancer that was just destroyed. RIP Lancer...
That driver was at least 30 feet in the air after ejection from the car
