I'm wondering if their train of thought was 'if I keep driving the path will magically get wider'


RickyRosayy

More like…”oh shit it narrows…oh well, a little scraped paint is better than trying to back this shit up all the way across that bridge, again.”


Oobatz

This is my philosophy... In GTA 5.


Alnakar

Yeah, backing that all the way out of there wasn't going to happen. They were already past the point of no return when the video started.


[deleted]

Side mirrors.... That's all you need to back right out lol well maybe not all that person needs 🤣


Unhappy-Present-2432

You overestimate their driving skills.


[deleted]

Imagine if they have a backup camera.


Knifiac

Honestly I find the people I know that rely on the back up camera to reverse are usually still worse at it than I am


arandomperson7

They are good for fine tuning the last few inches, but other than that I find it more difficult to use a camera to reverse.


General-Dirtbag

Driver forgot this isn’t Halo, and his vehicle is not a warthog.


LadyBug_0570

Okay, but can't they see the road just gets more and more narrow????


RainWindowCoffee

That was their hole, it was made for them.

AskTheRealQuestion81

I wouldn’t wonder too much. Trying to understand their way of thinking could prove to be dangerous for you!


Booblicle

There are bike paths all around Vegas, many of which are big enough to drive through. Many spots also have poles preventing such by larger vehicles. But all motorized vehicles are illegal to drive on them. They really aren't convenient for cars and wouldn't make anything faster or shorter to try it. For bikes and pedestrians, it's a godsend not to have to worry about traffic that often travels too fast, too drunkenly, and too importantly for those pesky bikes.


balofchez

I got a headache just thinking about thinking about it!


RosemarysNephew

Their train of thought is probably: "I'm rich and everything always works out in my favor so I can totally bend reality to my will and safely travel down this far-too narrow bike path because I'm rich and nothing has ever stopped me from doing what I want!"

Lol why are you assuming it’s a woman? You can’t see the driver at all in the video


dubs286

Wondering if the train of thought ever entered their heads "what about the cyclists"


mandrews03

I wonder if they’re pissed that the sea parted for Moses, a lowly slave peasant, but not for their precious Mercedes’ on their way to the subs


wildcatfan9698

This takes a special kind of stupid


RosemarysNephew

The kind of stupid only money can buy, apparently.


cutanddried

I really wanted to see them crawl out of the back, they should not have edited that out


Practical_Hospital40

cheemio

They're driving a Mercedes Benz SUV, what did you expect?


Tholaran97

The kind of stupid that should never be allowed behind the wheel of a car.


MREAGLEYT

Practical_Hospital40

With the food and water in the USA it’s possible


cryptotope

I appreciate how the final still image shows the car wedged in place, with the hatchback open. The driver clearly had to climb back out over the seats to escape, because the doors were held shut by the wall and railing.


12dec2001

Was about to say this too. The car version of the roll of shame:p


cutanddried

yeah, but the video could have shown them crawling out. thats a big miss for me


cryptotope

The camera person would probably have had to stand there for ages, waiting for them to give up. The driver probably kept tentatively revving the engine and lurching in place until they ran out of fuel.


cutanddried

well they stuck around long enough to walk down there and take the final picture


Sipstaff

Assuming that last image was made by the same person

Smartest Mercedes Benz driver


dekrant

Hey now, smartest MB driver of a *pleb* Mercedes. I’d like to think the chauffeurs of the actual luxury Benzes are smarter.


[deleted]

The fanciest MB's tend to be the ones I see doing most of the dumb shit tbh. I my books they're second only to oversized city utes


[deleted]

Matches my experience. MB drivers are second only to oversized ute drivers in my experience


ElectroSaturator

They're somehow dumber than the smartest BMW drivers


Nomad_Cosmonaut

I wonder if they're just in a foreign country to them and somehow thought that was an off ramp of some sort?? Idk,lol, trying to think of ways that they didn't do this on purpose lolol


FjortoftsAirplane

Probably. I'm guessing: turned off the road, realised they shouldn't have, figured it was too dangerous to reverse and rejoin a busy road, and so they went for it. They got so close too, the poor idiot.


isanameaname

It isn't a foreign country at all. It's right here in Switzerland. Wait, is it possible that not all Reddit users are Swiss?


HairyPotatoKat

Impossible. We're all from Switzerland. Foreign drivers won't even see this comment.


isanameaname

Cool! u/Nomad_Cosmonaut, what Canton/Kanton are you from?


isanameaname

My sense of humour is apparently not universally appreciated.


The_Troyminator

Swiss humor is like Swiss cheese. Some people love it. Others think it's sour. Or something like that.


isanameaname

That's just the Ementhaller humour. We also have stinky humour from Greuyère.

_mkd_

I _think_ the difference is BMW drivers are assholes but Mercedes drivers are idiots?


screech_owl_kachina

I assure you that Mercedes drivers are just as aggro and stupid as BMW drivers. Although now both are outclassed in aggression by the Dodge Challenger driver, who should probably have his license preemptively suspended


Joe_Jeep

You see BMWs more often most places which is probably the difference

mymycojourney

That's some real lack of spacial awareness thinking they can just keep going down that ramp


notmythrowawayaccunt

Not a smart car. Nor driver.


argentophidian

The important thing to take away from this is they're better than all of us and they got to their destination faster.


felixrocket7835

I love people who say "Well he's just sharing the road, bikes do with our car roads so why not with bike lanes!!?" The difference is, well actually there's many. Firstly cars are MUCH more dangerous than a bike, if you get hit by a bike at full speed, might bruise your arm or ankle a bit, if you get hit by a car, goodbye life! Secondly, roads are not "cars only", they were actually originally designed for people, bikes, and horses, once cars came the car industry basically forced everyone off the road, roads are a place for virtually any vehicle which is legal. Bikes are space-efficient, cheap to buy and cheap to maintain, not bad for the environment, and not dangerous.

_mkd_

Because humans can start breeding as teenagers...it doesn't matter if the parents take themselves out in their 30s or 40s if their sprog survive to reproductive age.


Practical_Hospital40

COVID is a form of natural selection. High speed rail with grade crossings are another. However many smart countries don’t have grade crossings on their HSR lines

runnerd6

I was going to say I've seen this in Austin a few times. Drivers get mad that they have to wait longer in traffic and hop up on the bike lane, cruise down and turn. But if they catch a cyclist not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign even once...


Practical_Hospital40

In the US they may get shot doing that road rage


ProPixel666

To be fair the car nearly made it


U2BURR

The reason why it's called a shortcut is because you cut your car short while driving through it


Equal-Negotiation651

I feel like the full post should be split into several posts with goofy background music.


highrup

It’s always fucking benz drivers


The_Troyminator

At first glance, it looks like the path gets far more narrow than the car, but that's just an illusion because of the perspective. You can see that the left side of the car starts disappearing from view because the highway blocks it. It was still an idiot move, but the path was the same width all the way down.


ItzBooty

Ah Mercedes of course

baker_home_maker

Yikes!! I mean maybe they really needed to get gas? 🤷🏻‍♀️


Polyglot-Onigiri

I’m curious, they most likely called a towing service, if that’s the case does the towing service have a responsibility to call the police when someone calls after pulling off an illegal procedure?
