All the car tech in the world can't help if the tires dont stay on the road. All bets are off in the rain.

That's an expensive lesson to learn...especially in Russia.

I didn't see him being "too" stupid on the roads. I've seen worse driving.
He obviously didn't see the other cars running through large standing pools of water, so he decided to go twice as fast as everyone else! Sorry, he was stupid enough!

That's because the tow truck driver was aware of all the safety features of this car. Also as long as the guy's airbags didn't deploy the bystanders could help right the car and the driver could go on his marry way.


Also this must have been a private owner test drive. Otherwise, shame on the dealer for letting the guy drive like that in the rain.

Not here. I am in Iowa now and people do stop to help others.

However if it were my neighbors in California they would have just kept on going. Very strange, but who am I to judge.

Yeah, that's why I stop. Even for people that are broken down on the side of the road, I refuse to give people a jump with my car though. Ill call AAA before I do that lol

Yep, that is definately driving like an idiot. Thses cars handle great in the rain with all seasons & some common sense (which is not all that common these days).
