I hate to ask this, but who drives along with a video camera running like this??

Isn't that like totally convenient?

Really makes you wonder if it was staged.

Think about it:

1. a guy just happens to be driving along with a video camera running.
2. the guy lived.
3. it is something out of the last die hard movie.

Totally strange.

Cool Out of Control

I sure hope the guy wasn't taking his drivers test. Maybe he passed the parallel parking part of it. Also the examiner could have been irritating him.

I bet he is pissed!

Another 40 or 50 mph and I bet he could have CLEARED that overpass!

Now THAT would have been a cool video!!!

The article title and details states that the video is from a police cruiser dash cam.

Amazing the guy survived. How stupid is it to be going along at 100+MPH and pass a police car? Probably unmarked. No matter what he's in a heap-o-trouble.

Holey crap batman.

So, the Darwin awards do not allow for survival, let's see...

I am amazed he survived. Says something about the Firebird.

I agree, if he had another 50 MPH, maybe he would have landed on the overpass.
