It's been said before, but what the hell makes anyone think that racing on a public road is ok? Douchebag thinks that every road is his own private track.

Hate to say it, but he had it coming for him.

He may have deserved it, just like we all deserve things that we don't wind up paying the price for. I am glad he was okay and I am sure his family was too. Hopefully he will be more responsible in the future, but if he is not I hope he stays lucky. I do not wish harm to anyone, even the boneheaded ones.

That's what we call "balling up" a car. Nice. The camera manufacturer should use this video to show how tough their cameras are...

Completely missed the apex... Way too fast for that turn. He obviously didn't know the road. Don't drive like Schumacher on a road you don't know...

Look at how the guy he was chasing completely missed the first right turn, ending up all the way in the left lane...

True... I should have said "don't try to drive like Schumacher..."

10 seconds into it when I saw how he was driving, staying in his lane, I knew he was doomed to high side it. Glad he came out alive though. That was nuts.

Now he'll be immortalized in the internet...as a fail.

So I'm assuming his insurance won't cover this little accident?

If the insurance company gets hold of this clip, I doubt it. There's a long list of charges against him...speeding, reckless driving, illegal racing, and traveling wrong way, just from what is shown on the video.

I'm glad he didn't hurt anyone else but himself, his car and his ego. One would hope he learns from this and take his racing to the track, with a helmet, at the very least.

According to another thread, the accident happened 6 months ago and the claim has already been settled. Looks like he might have waited until the claim was complete before posting the video. No one knows if he shared the video with his insurance but if I had to bet...
