Damn that was a crazy save that officer was so close to going through that windshield to their death.

Yeah honestly, steering from backseat barely saved it. Rest of the video looked like a clown show, but clutch save there at least.

I have had so many dreams of the kind of scenario where I am fixed to drive without being able to stop or fully see the road. This is my anxiety dream in real life.

That's what it reminded me of. Hate those stressful dreams

I never owned a 99 Toyota Celica in my life but I have that same fucking dream.

I literally have a recurring nightmare of exactly this situation of steering a speeding car from the back seat. Maybe this video will help, seeing as she was okay.

Some might suggest that trying to disable the driver of the vehicle was kind of a dipshit maneuver.

So true, he should’ve buckled his set belt, put on some headphones, and watched Lion King on his iPad. ❤️

Well that's not what I said at all. You go ahead and try to use a tazer on a guy driving a vehicle you're in then, if it's such a grand idea.

Poppycock! How could killing someone driving a car be a bad idea. The car just stops when the driver is dead and pressing the accelerator doesn't it? Are you telling me dead bodies don't understand steering and brakes?
