Head on Collision

Probably been posted, but what the hell.

Audi driver tries to overtake a truck 'round the outside of a bend. Head-on's with a Czech cop car with it's camera rolling.

Thought the cop was going to deck the driver

Fair play to the cops, they remained remarkably calm. The Audi driver should have his arse kicked for that though.

No airbags?

Goddamn that's scary.

Juicy, they both got plenty of speed scrubbed off luckily. Surprised one of them didnt head for the grass. Would have been a rough ride mind you but probably better than a head on with a cop car!

Hang on, it looks like he had barely started the maneuver so should have been able to brake and pull back in behind the truck. Pissed or asleep maybe ?

Audi probably not.
Squad car surely had airbags.

As you can see he was braking, even though had no chance to come back to his lane.

But there was actually enough space to squeeze. If police car went to the side of road, and he managed to go as close to truck as possible, they would probably pass each other.

The cops remained unbelievably calm all considered. Although i'd say 30 seconds later they'd be feeling the adrenalin buzz!

I think I would have headed for the grass.. But i suppose if both drivers did that the crash could have been worse

Cop car was Neely moving just before impact. Maybe too slow?

But don't the cops understand the audi driver is a hero? Heroes do heroic things, like heroic overtaking, even just going to the shops.

Surprised the cops didn't thump him, I know when I managed to avoid a full speed head on collision on the Athlone motorway I wanted to kill the person that tried to kill me.

Bet they're kicking themselves they didn't, now that they know their windscreen was all steamed up and their traffic camera could see sweet f.a. :pac:

That makes me feel angry.

Voodoomelon · 05-10-2011 6:23pm

Very lucky they weren't moving faster. If you watch the trees on the right as it happens, you can see the cop car is hardly moving at all, it was the speed of the Audi that caused the majority of the damage.

The little sigh from the police just after the crash is funny.

Yeah. I think most people would've been screaming. I'm sure the Audi driver wet himself a little for one. It doesn't look much like traffic was going that fast.

Wait.... WHAT? I have to ask how that happened.

well cos i am from eastern europe i do know how many this kind of w2nkers do this things.. overtaking on full or double full line is czech and slovakian national sport.

Waterford26 · 05-10-2011 8:09pm

just seconds before crash they talking about ABS warning light in some another car

My first thought too, but it looks like a fairly deep ditch.

JabbaTheHut · 05-10-2011 8:38pm

I wonder was the first words from the cop:

" Are you OK?" or "What the fcuk were you doing you stoopid shunt?"
