I think the rest of us with common sense would agree that the shoulder isn't a driving lane for Christ's sake. When someone needs to pull into it for emergency purposes (break-down etc.) to stop, they're not expecting some ******** to come flying up the inside are they? I'll never forget watching a cop waiting at an exit ramp in bad traffic knicking everyone who was using the shoulder as an escape route. Too funny.

 

You must not have seen the footage. The suicidal maniac wasn't just passing slowed/stopped cars on the shoulder because he's taking an exit. Many people cheat like that.

The nutcake was racing around congested traffic using the shoulder which was unpaved in parts. He had maybe 3 inches of clearance between the semi truck on the left and the guard rail on the right. He was probably doing 1xx while the rest of traffic averaged 45. If I'm the trucker I would've squeezed him into the rail.

This was done with another car trailing at similar speed and filming.

The real killer in the show was the mother of a 27 yr old street racer who's still living at home with mama. Mama pays for his car mods. She said if her son dies from speeding then at least he's doing something he loves when he goes. She actually compared it to people crashing in airplanes. She doesn't see the difference between reckless driving vs airplane accidents.

Unbelievable.

 

That GT2 was probably doing over 140 on that shoulder. As far as parents go, I´d like to see Momma repeat that statement at her son´s funeral. Or, while at that, at some innocent victim´s funeral.

 

Trading paint or brushing tires at 140 mph is all part of the game with professionals in certain venues. It sounds to me like this guy is a loose cannon that needs to be locked up for awhile. Not the sharpest tool in the tool shead if he is pulling this stunt on public highways.

 

Watch Extreme Gumball episode 4. I think he did damage the front bumper during one of his overtakings though. And the guy in the CL was going: "Waaaaaa! Waaaaaaaaaaa! Crazy motherf*****!" It´s sheer luck he didn´t crash.

 

I've seen every episode of the Gumball, and I know which scene you are talking about.

HOWEVER, my comment was NOT in regards to what the Gumballer did, but towards hhazrati's comments that passing on the shoulder was the equivalent to jumping off a bridge.

as fun as it is to watch this guys if for one can't say I advocate this behavior on the street - take it to the track please for everyone's saftey

 

The only place I've seen people pass on the breakdown lane is in Puerto Rico. Spent a few months there on an assignment and man was it crazy! If you can drive over it, it's fair game in Puerto Rico. Too bad I didn't have my TT with me.

 

SEEN IT

 

The clip your talking about was filmed by Teckademics on the Cannonball run Europe last year. It was Lonman is his Gt2, followed by Dado in a rent Ford Mondao.

There dvd that covered the Cannonball is called Mischief Invasion.
