There was recently a souped up car from the 60s crashing in traffic in LA due to the brakes failing. Has anyone got the video link? They had GoPro's so pretty amazing to see their reactions.
- sgt 4y agoHere it is: 1300HP Mercury Comet crashing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oO226PgSkg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oO226PgSkg Their reactions are priceless and they are so lucky. A bit negligent perhaps.
- nikau 4y agoNegligent narcissistic assholes. They drove a faulty car knowingly, riding the brakes and cooked them. Then in the video all they talk about is their injuries and how bad it was for them and damage to their clown car, no concern for the innocent person they hit. A grade assholes.
- sgt 4y agoTo be fair, I think they learned from this and also thousands watching the video. Let's hope they are more careful next time.
- namdnay 4y ago"a bit" :) are there no mandatory safety checks in the US? In most countries i've been in, a "home improved" car like this would need to be homologated before being driven on a public road
- cafard 4y agoVehicle inspection rules vary from state to state. In Maryland, a vehicle must be inspected for safety when registered, then every couple of years for emissions. In the District of Columbia, there is a safety and emissions inspection every two years. My recollection is that Pennsylvania and Colorado inspect cars every couple of years. In DC the safety inspection is done by the city, elsewhere by approved service stations.
- jsmith45 4y agoOnly 15 states have requirements for regular safety inspections. A few more have some one time inspections when transfering a car. Otherwise in the majority of states there are no inspections, or only emissions inspections (the later tend to only be required in specific cities/counties).
