Kids Trying to Drift on the Freeway Get Rude Awakening as they Slam into a Tree

There’s a phrase that I learned many years ago that I see plenty of opportunities to continue to use to this very day. I believe the young men in this video might need to hear it:

“Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”

I am certainly in no position to call these guys stupid, I don’t know them like that. But even the smartest people can still make stupid decisions and many of those are very easy to see, especially when there’s video!

From what I can tell from this very short, but telling clip, the driver is headed down the highway and decides to try to get a nice open-road drift going. Needless to say, as cool as that would be, if things had gone according to plan, we likely wouldn’t be watching this clip. Instead of working the wheel and throttle back and forth and starting to slide, the driver appears to get a little overzealous with his turn in and goes into a skid across several lanes of the highway.

While the steering wheel was blocked from view, we’re gonna give the drive the benefit of the doubt and assume he was cranking it hard back to the left to try to get the nose aimed where he so desperately wanted it to go, but once the car has rotated past that certain angle, there’s really nothing you can do but hang on and hope for the best.

However, these guys didn’t get the best at all. Instead, the little BMW heads across the highway and ends their ride rather abruptly when the car slams into the trees alongside the roadway. The airbags deploy, and it appears everybody in the car is okay, but it doesn’t look like the same can be said for the car itself, based on the demolished windshield and aforementioned airbag deployment. However, cars can be replaced, human lives cannot, so as long as everybody is okay, we can kind of laugh and hope the driver learned a valuable lesson about his angles!
