How fast do you need to be driving to flip a car?

It really take little speed to flip a car over. I saw someone flip a car over backing out of a parking space behind Immaculate Conception in Bloomfield they were going about 5-10 miles an hour

I said the same thing about driving fast. The other driver hit a telephone pole and disabled their vehicle I believe.

I really think car engineers have it all backwards. all the safety features should be on the outside of the vehicle.

88mph


*not sure if that is with/without a flux capacitor...

technically, you don't have to be driving it at all, just really strong or parked on the edge of a nice hill...

It's ahrd to tell what exactly happened from teh story. It's possible that the flipped Beemer was even totally stopeed - and hit by the other car with high momentum.


I'm guessing that both drivers were violating the law, but I could be completely wrong.


I'd bet no one gets prosecuted, unless evidence of intoxication is found. We've seen - over and over again - that it is legal to kill someone with a car as long as you are sober.
