Most of that should buff out

Crap happens when you drive like a dickhead.

At least he or she seems not to have hurt anyone else.

He will still manage to get the bonnet open.

Doesn't look like he had anywhere to go, maybe travelling too fast to brake for the one that pulled out into his lane?

Dare I say it - but I like the background tune on the video

155mph, in the wet, approaching two cars in the nearside lane - predictable outcome

Glad everyone got away without injury - had the potential to be fatal

Crazy Euro tunes, Yah?

Utter twonk.

Just for you, T; http://youtu.be/dSy2DcATYUo

Excellent, thanks Just listened to 4 of his tunes now Must be something to do with the German language, as I like Scooter, especially when they sing in German and also groups like Rammstein
No idea what any of them are saying

GObsmacked.
Two mechanically interesting things about this crash stand out to me.
1/ the rear left panel appears to be unscathed. amazing considering the speed and dynamics of the incident.
2/ The ability of the crash cell on a design of the 90's (that crashes in 2013)is reassuring.

All this evolution in action, and yet still the general dickheadedness of some drivers seems to be increasing...

Don't worry Neil, according to Elon Musk, we will not be driving in 20 years and the human factor will be a thing of the past.
Driving may also be really boring or a lost art.....

I understand he was driving much too fast in the wet, but I would say around 80% if not more of the blame should go to the white caddy van. On the autobahn you've really got to be paying attention as to what's coming up behind you before you pull out in front of someone

Edit: Not even what I would call dangerous speeds, read the description and apparently he was doing 130kmph/80mph

read the description again - he says he was doing 250km/h and was down to about 130km/h ( according to "evaluators") when he actually impacted the barrier - he lost pretty much half his speed with the initial braking and the resultant monumental slide

Are some making excuses for this maniac? Really! 155mph in my book is pretty fast to react to, in a situation such as this. Stupidity & shear luck no one was killed.

Indeed. Irrespective of the speed limit (and I have no idea where this incident took place) he - and everyone else - should be driving to the conditions. The critical one being not 'how fast can I go' but 'can I stop if the person in front does something unexpected'.

The chap in the Coupe was clearly going too fast for the conditions but I would agree that the driver of the van caused the accident.

Lane discipline in Germany used to be awesome on the Autobahn. You would rarely get someone pulling out into the path of any fast moving vehicle. Nowadays the total disregard for everyone other than self exists in Germany as it does here. Wouldn't surprise me to discover the van driver actually pulled out on purpose - trying to slow him down.

I've lost count of how many times I've spotted those sanctimonious (Frustrated they are not traffic cop) types deliver the "Brake Test" to following drivers in an effort to show they're too close! These are the same kind of folks who pull out in front of people at the last minute causing people the break. They then pass the line of lorries at 1 - 2mph faster causing a huge line of traffic behind them. Once past the trucks they pull back in and accelerate to 70mph - or more.

So yes the fellow was going too fast, but he was hardly the only dipstick on that part of the road that day

Don't like the wheels.
