I realized (later) I was holding my breath and ducking. Fun for movies/controlled environment. Absolutely without conscience and putting OTHERS in such danger.

an Audi owner did something similar, posting video like that while showing he was steering with his knees. the videos were sent to the proper authorities and nothing has transpired so far.

Huh saw the same thing this morning on the highway (I did a double take to make sure it wasn't a local video) and guess who I saw chatting with the State Police a few miles down the road. *pointing finger simley*

I found myself ducking out of the way when I thought a crash would occur.

that video was pretty cool. suspenseful and thrilling. what kind of car was the blue car? it seemed to be faster than the m3. i about shat myself when i saw what the video was about, all the weaving was insane. one little clip and it would have been a 15 car pile up, too many people on the road not paying attention to be doing something like that.

HUH I don't think it would matter how much the normal, sane drivers were paying attention. The 2 video idiots put the lives of everyone else on that road at risk. I can only hope that when they do wreck one day all the action is between them & some concrete barrier

Uh, no it wasn't a cool video and regardless how many people are on the road it should not be happening. If these guys have a death wish, they need to do it somewhere besides a public roadway. No offense to you sdv515.

i see more people on the road not paying attention than people driving like this. it seems you have to have a deathwish just getting on the road. a friend of a friend of mine died over the weekend when she was hit head on by another driver. if the other driver was paying attention they wouldnt have crossed the lane, she probably should have been paying better attention too, and now neither one of the drivers and the passenger will get a second chance. posting this video is the same as posting a video of a sixteen year old girl texting and going 65 mph on the highway, switching lanes without getting a good look, or cutting you off.

i know, its just people on here seem to pick and choose when they want to ***** about something. its almost as dangerous going the speed limit now a days with everyone zooming around than it is keeping up with the traffic. no body seems to want to whine about the slow oldies who cant see either.

i do like that blue car in the video, it seemed like he saw the M3 come up and decided to play.

I do agree about texting, makeup, chatting on phones, or basically anything that detracts attention that could be pointed at what they should be doing. But the folks in that video were way beyond your normal traffic knotheads too. I am just picturing my nervous nelly wife driving my five year old girl down that interstate and those two knuckleheads scare the daylights out of her, causing her to do something really rash. But I'm not picky, I'll ***** about any stupidity that happens behind the wheel, I spend 3 hours of may day sitting in it.

I don't know if this was on the autobahn, but... during the three months I spent in Germany, this was not an uncommon sight... Especially for daredevil motorcyclists! And yes, 15-car pile-ups do happen. You should see some of the smashed pieces of scrap metal (that used to be cars) being hauled away on some of the trucks that these guys are weaving in and out of.

I think that's why cupholders are not part of the European-spec accessories.

Tailgaters

I'm surprised to see how much unsafe driving was going on in that video...and not just the two morons in the M3 and the S4. Lot more tailgaing than I would expect.

Its an Audi Rs4 and a Bmw M5, not an M3.

What idiots thats all i have to say. If your going to drive fast, do it on a track where only your life is in your hands, not countless others.

RS4 = sedan. It looked like an Avant, which would be S4 or RS6, if this was in the USA.
