Yup, sh*t happens. Don't know why there's a need to label him an idiot. Idk that road but it seems pretty deserted.

He came in wayyyy to hot. E46m3 insurance just went up.

Glade to see the guy walked away from it with scratches and bruises though!

About the only positive thing I can say about that video is, at least he didn't injure/kill someone else with his reckless driving. What a moron.

Crashes like this don't just happen to good drivers.
Too much entry speed, way too early turn-in, driving way over his head and skill level.

Shit does sometimes just happen. This time the shit was entirely avoidable with some modicum of skill and sense.

Considering that road had no railings after some point I would not even try to take corners like that.

Hell I wouldn't try any crazy fast F&F driving on any Cliffside road with or without a railing.
