Can you believe that this guy actually survived?

     by Pihaha on October 22, 2007 at 7:21 am

Entirely his fault, if you ask me. Jerks like this shouldn’t drive. I hope he got the bill for whatever damages occured on the car sent to the hospital.

By the way, here’s some more people that deserve to have their licenses permanently anulled: wmedia.siol.net:8080/siol/avtomoto/reportaza/DARS_vzvratna_voznja_PR.wmv

That video was made on the road Maribor-Šentilj. Actually this is a big meeting point for (stupid) bikers. So any of you who drive on this road regularly do not be surprised if you “drive over” on of them fools.

A week ago I passed by a few minutes after one of these accidents happened (not on a Slovenian highway, but in Canada). Motorcycle versus transport truck. This guy looks to be mighty lucky. The people I saw didn’t walk away from it.

Pihaha: I saw that on the youtube comments as well. I’m amazed that he survived. Was he badly hurt? Is he still doin’ it?

Cornelius: That video was positively amazing. And I absolutely love the background music. I suddenly have new love and respect for DARS.

gledalec: Thanks for the info. I recognize the area now that you mention it, although it looks quite different these days.

Also: Does one of the spectators shout “Gotovo je!”) (”It’s finished!” — as in his life) at the end? Or is it just me?

Yep… this guy lived to tell about it… Other were not so lucky.

     by pengovsky on October 22, 2007 at 9:02 am

I hear “Povozu ga je” (He ran him over.)

     by CX20RE on October 22, 2007 at 9:29 am

Not only that the moron lived to tell about it, he did not get a scratch in the accident. And I hear “Gotovo je!” too.

     by gledalec on October 22, 2007 at 9:50 am

I remember this one. They did an interview with him later in the hospital.

Stupid a**h**es! If they have suicidal tendencies, they should at least act them out without endangering others.

I’m sure the Beavis&Buttheads of Slovenia and abroad have been going “way cool, hahaha hahaha hahaha”… thinking this particular !”#%$ is a hero of sorts.

Till the next time, eh?

Yeah right, don’t come to Slovenija, cause some idiotic motorists can handle the bike? Mmmmhhhmmmmm

     by AzzQim on October 22, 2007 at 3:57 pm

Well these idiots aren’t just endangering themselves. If 250kg of metal, plastic & human flesh travelling at 200+ km/h crash into your car, that will cause some serious damage. Innocent people got killed that way.

Besides, it’s not just a handful of retarded motorcyclists. A considerable part of drivers drive like there’s no tomorrow, showing no regard to anyone’s life & safety, including their own.

There are at least two reasons to immediatelly emmigrate out of this country:
(1) Road manners
(2) Tax system

On the other hand, there are also more than enough reasons to stay here.
I guess it’s all just a balance of pluses & minuses in the end.

Perfect candidate for Darwin Award. And if at first you don’t suceed …

     by CCfly on October 22, 2007 at 8:42 pm

Dont know i have to be a buzz-kill every time, but this guy s biggest problem was opening full trottle on the painted line. They r slippey as hell and with a bike you cant really relly on 2 other wheels to save from a jam.
That sayed, that man was still (or maybe is still) a moron.

     by Burns on October 22, 2007 at 9:11 pm

How stupid! this is why i hate bike drivers when driving!

     by sloncek on October 22, 2007 at 10:25 pm

I hear “povozu ga je” as well. But in a dialect it sounds “povozo ga je”.
Anyway. Cannot believe he actually survived O_O

@Michael M. Since this accident happened at least 5 (probably 10) years ago I’m not 100% sure. But if I remember this correctly he didn’t suffer any permanent injuries.

Of course, he had already serious brain damage before accident

Another movie from DARS (with cool music):

Coko: DARS is my new favorite company. What a great video. Who are these maniacs running around in tunnels?

     by Michael M. on October 24, 2007 at 11:01 am

you tube sucks. when you try to play this it says ‘this video is no longer available for viewing.’

     by lucioloud on October 25, 2007 at 7:35 pm

YouTube really bites. If anyone knows where else to find the video please let me know.
