Old ladies shouldn't drive new cars

cause this is what happens:





i saw this in central Rhode Island off RT 2 somewhere on my delivery route around 8 this morning. i had to take pics

turns out she was looking at the dunkin donuts (u can see it in the back ground in the first pic) and turned the corner right up on to the rock... she must've been cornering hella fast to get that tire up that rock! All she had was a bent wheel and cracked bumper! You will probably never see that again... best part is it's a rental.

It is fake.

For her to get over the rock, her front end would have to get up there first and her front bumper is flawless. Well its cracked a tad bit but the rock is taller than the wheels and certainly taller than the lowest point of the bumper.

Its fake but def funny and true. Old ladies or basically women in general shouldnt be on the road. But since that wont happen, i guess old ladies should just be banned.

Could still be fake, no matter who took the pic. Hell i could drive over there and take the same pic you did.

But did you see it happen? No, we cant just assume things. Even though if its for a laughing purpose.

Its def funny though but i find it hard to believe thats real without the evidence necessary to make that possible.

Cause people here are gullible.

Your pic you posted seems legit. Well just from looking at the pic. The position, the people etc etc. It seems more realistic since its minor.

The other pic, the car is NICELY sitting on the rock, no major damage or anything. No people standing around, no cops, no owner. So what happened there?

The incident happened, then everyone went in the diner and had breakfast talking about it?

Stop making people from NJ look bad. You can even see where the rock slid like 4 feet.

Too late. Thats how we are. Yes thats how WE ARE.

Pics like these only sway people away from thinking jersey drivers/people suck for just a moment.

We're the armpit of america. The pinnacle of americas' ********.

But ill just agree with all the gullible ones here so they can stop PMS'ing.

"Jeez, that lady must suck hitting a big rock like that, damn she needs her license taken away".

There..

i wish people would understand that crazy **** can happen... i had a hard time understanding it myself but she was just cornering super hard and took most of the weight off that side so one nudge under the bumper was enough to lift that side up

Cornering super hard? Dont you have to be going fairly fast to do that?

And i thought she was "looking at the dunkin donuts"? I dont know about you but if im uncertain about the place im at, i go SLOW while looking around with caution or i pull over and look around. I dont speed and "hard corner" around a turn while looking for a place i want to visit. Unless she's jeff gordon, this is again not possible.

Lets say she did "hard corner", she STILL would have alot more damage to the car because of the speed to do the "hard corner".

The way I think it happens is the tires don't drive directly onto the rock. If you run the wheel along the side it will climb up.

One time I saw a pickup on the highway drift into the center divider, which is about 4' tall and has a steeply angled face. The tire climbed it a good foot before kicking off.
