…From the passenger seat.
Street racing is never a good idea. It’s just dangerous and we’ll keep saying that until we’re blue in the face. Racing motorcycles with your car is a recipe for either a serious loss or a very bad accident. So, don’t try it.
This driver was at the wrong end of an accident in Cuernavaca, Mexico after deciding to race a pair of motorcycles on the highway. The blue sedan decided to engage the motorcyclists in a race on the two-lane roadway, weaving in and out of traffic.
But, the girlfriend in the passenger seat did not want any part of that according to reports, so she pulled the handbrake at speed. If there was anything to almost guarantee an accident, pulling the handbrake unexpectedly from the passenger seat because you don’t want your boyfriend to race is definitely it.
In the bobbing head-cam video, you can see the rear wheels suddenly lock up as the driver of the sedan loses control and hits the guard rail, causing the car to flip over.
There’s no word on whether or not the occupants were injured or not, but the crash does not look good in the least bit.
Never, ever pull the e-brake while someone else is driving.

How stupid was it for the passenger to pull the e-brake while the driver was racing?
