I hope that some evil villain has taken a page out of the script of Speed and rigged a van with a bomb set to explode if it goes below 50 mph, because the plot of an overly complicated action film is the only logical explanation for driving like this dummy in today’s viral video.
Here, we get a total of three dummies, two of them not even drivers. All of them are some of the luckiest ones we’ve seen. The star of the clip is at the wheel of an out-of-control van barreling down a very narrow road.

The climax of the video happens right after the van barely misses colliding with an oncoming truck. As a head on collision with a motorcycle appears imminent, the driver “drifts” to avoid flattening this biker and nearly rolls over. He then has to do the same maneuver to avoid a man on a bicycle before a crash into the side of a house finally brings him to a stop.
The reason I’ve labeled the two bike riders in this video as dummies is because of their lack of any reaction to what’s going on. You’ve got a driver flying down the street like he’s in a Die Hard film, only he appears to be played by Steve Carrell. The oncoming motorcycle driver doesn’t flinch, and the bicycle rider doesn’t as much as turn his head at the very audible commotion going on behind him. I guess it all just adds up to three geniuses who narrowly missed becoming victims of natural selection.
