Usually, yes. If they were italians, they would have their license suspended for months, plus paying all the damage. They might even being prosecuted for illegal racing, but I don't know the specifics.
BUT, they are belgian, it seems, so they are not necessarily going to have their licence suspended.

That seems to happen way too often. Three times recorded in London:

What baffles me is that each time they've had to cross the pavement and mow down a metal fence to get to where they are.

While finding those pictures I found a story of a Smart ForTwo that was left impaled on a bollard like something from Mad Max. :rofl:

...Wait, what? How does that log even stay in there and not tilt down at the rear? Is it just because some logs have been wedged between the huge log and the roof? :blink: At least the load has been marked semi-properly... :lmao:

...and another kind of stupidity: it seems the driver drove like that for at least the last few metres...

I mean, at that point you might as well use the drive to the rear to shove it in the spot and out of the lane of travel until a tow truck arrives.

I've seen another video similar to this where the wheel was rolling down the highway, and a vehicle drove up from behind, but it was slower speed. It still got flipped, I think, but the air that this thing caught..absolutely bonkers!

And it's gonna be a DAMN long wait to find one willing and able to deal with that in a low clearance parking structure.

Tow bar, lift from the chassis enough to remove the front wheels, lower until level, tow out, then raise the tow bar to cruise to the shop.

What's hard about it?
