Scary...but in any case, you can easily exceed the MINI's limits if you really try.

I am not sure where it was filmed. I found it on a scooter message board. The people on the scooter were very lucky.

Those scooter folks were VERY lucky! I wonder about the car that was rounding that turn! Did it manage to stop before hitting the flipped car?

Not to be mean, but I think it would have been hilarious if the scooter driver wiped out because he was looking over his shoulder to check out the crash.

Seriously though, their lives musta have flashed in front of them right there

A couple of Peugot's in there ... Wonder where it was filmed.

I thought that scooter was also going to fall off the street too while
he was looking over. But im glad he and his companion didn't.

Stooopid and silly. Crowd mentality. Listen to all of those people clapping and cheering as if it was some sort of stunt show. Stoooopid!

A collegue of mine spotted a German license plate in the video.
