Brake-Checking Camaro Driver Gets Instant Karma

Dash cam catches Camaro scaling utility pole after losing control.

We’re still not sure exactly what prompts the Camaro driver in front of this camera car to react this way. The driver with the dash cam attempts to pull out of a side street or a driveway while the black fifth-generation Camaro scoots by. That looks mostly normal.

However, the black Camaro then starts brake-checking the dash cam car for some weird reason. Maybe there’s a subtext we’re missing here about nemeses. Either way, the two cars reach the same intersection to make a left turn and things get weird in a hurry.

Exasperated by whatever real or imagined wrongdoing has taken place, the Camaro driver mats the right pedal through the intersection. The car oversteers, the driver corrects, and the Camaro hops the curb and points skyward like a poorly aimed rocket.

It turns out that reverse fails to work when the car sits on its rear bumper with the wheels two feet off the ground. That doesn’t stop the raging Camaro driver from trying it anyway before realizing the predicament he faces. Not only does he sit at a weird angle, he also sees about six feet of empty air between himself and the ground. Imagine all the people laughing at this guy.

Anyway, instant karma found him. He definitely isn’t shining on when trying to explain this one to both the police and his insurance company.
