Impatient Jerk In A BMW Ends Up In One Of The Dumbest Crashes We've Seen This Year

A BMW 3-series driver in Albany, New York made himself look like a complete chump with this ambitious overtake on a school bus

Out of sheer impatience - and we’re guessing a side helping of rage - this imbecile in a BMW 3-series went for a gap that simply wasn’t there. Either he didn’t know the road and wasn’t expecting the big concrete barrier to appear, or he genuinely thought he could make it in front of the dashcam car and the school bus in time.

Whatever the case, he ended up looking like a complete fool, damaging his own car and hitting the school bus in the process.

Speaking about the crash in the comments, the uploader and driver of the dashcam car said:

As for the comments about me letting the bus in: I guess I should have included another 10 seconds onto the start of the video. Everyone was stopped in front of me all the way to the light under the bridge. I drive this road everyday[sic] and the cars in my lane let out the cars from the side street (where the bus is). 1 for 1.
The bus just took too long to go and I already committed to letting him go. Also, I turn left at the light like that everyday. There are a few indents in the pavement on the left side of the road that I hit once, not again. I didn’t know the bmw was on my side until I saw him on my side. It all happened kind of fast.

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Bmw driving school lesson update yo

… went for a gap that simply wasn’t there.

Maldonado + BMW = insert summation

10 points for effort, but minus 20 for poor execution.

What would you know about 3-series BMW’s? cough Adnan cough Gabz cough Alex cough

He played too much Forza..

no “ < / Y to rewind “ this time unfortunately.

Right hand rule guys. Vehicle in the Right hand side gets the priority

Did you even watch or are you sarcastic?

Isn’t it left hand side gets priority in the US since if you’re on the right, you’re on their blind side? And the BMW passing on the right is also a big no no.

Nico Rosberg takes to driving in Albany with his dashcams on board. BMW a$$hole thinks he’ll overtake around the outside and Nico has flashbacks and thinks it’s Lewis Hamilton and says ‘let me push you off the track right there … think there’s a gap? not any more there isn’t, funk you!”.
