Doofus Of The Day #907


Today's award goes to a Romanian driver who appears to have fallen asleep at the wheel - while approaching a traffic roundabout at high speed.  The results were filmed from several angles by police CCTV cameras.





Bumpy ride, what?

That'll wake you up in a hurry...

Looks like a "Dukes of Hazzard Co." move to me.... I imagine waking up after impact was..... exhilarating?

What is the object seen falling away from the car to the left, as it passes apogee? Car comes to a stop rather quickly, especially considering the pavement is wet.

That looks like the rear bumper

He stuck the landing ... 10 points from the Romanian judge!

Rear bumper caught on a curb when he hit the central portion. If you click on the "gear" icon, you can choose to watch at 1/4 speed...

That is, indeed, the entire rear bumper with fascia - the bottom-right edge hooked onto the curb-stone upper facing of the roundabout's central mound, and the entire bumper-and-fascia assemblage was yanked nearly-free, pivoting to the car's left and parting entirely from the car when it landed in the big puddle, just before it came to a fairly-sudden halt...

Remarkable! I rather-seriously doubt that a deliberate run by an actual stunt-driver could have done any better! Driver's incredibly lucky - that could easily have ended much, much worse for him/her.

I like how the dog checks it out and then turns away.
