Lets be honest here that car flipping was the best outcome here as they can no longer be a danger on the road until whatever the fuck is going on in there is handled.

Also, flipping at that speed isn't all that dangerous, as long as he doesn't dangle his arm out of the window.

And the chances that he'll continue driving this car are very slim.

He basically DIY confiscated the car.

Well it has no roof after the FD cut it off, so if he ever drives again it won't be THIS car.

Do you think the lack of a roof would stop this person from driving THIS car?

It's not like they're going to drop it off in his driveway. But that does give me a terrible idea for an hoa resident

What does "THIS" stand for?

It’s emphasizing the word “this” which is emphasizing the specific car shown in the video.

Double emphasis

I guess you’ve never watched The Trailer Park Boys. One character drives around in a giant old sedan with the roof removed. I’m sure it’s unsafe but I don’t think this particular jackass would care.

My fave show from Canada. The Bubbles and Alex Lifeson episode. Bubbles: Can you teach me some fucking chords? Alex: Of course. And they cut to the credits and "Closer to the Heart" plays in the background. One of the very few songs I taught myself after having injured my left index (chord hand) over 50 years ago. 22 stitches. Still hurts, permanent nerve damage.

To quote Joe Pesci. "Your car has no door"

Hang on. I won't make a single cut until we see at least two spectacularly embarrassing attempts to get himself out first. We have to make our own fun sometimes.

Oh this car is toast. Engines tend to get pretty upset if you run them upside down and it's got quite a bit of body damage obviously.

"Do you feel this vehicle is safe for highway travel?"

"Yes I do. Yes, I really do; I believe that... I know it's not pretty to look at, but it'll getcha where you wanna go."

Firemen/women: Hey dude, sorry you flipped your car over, but we'll make it into a convertible at no charge...
