Over the past year there have been lots of advances inautomotive technology that can adjust for driving mistakes. Suspension compressor and suspension pump units that canpredict and adjust for bad conditions to air bag systems that can protect theentire car the advances are amazing. These advances may be something to bemarveled but they cannot help when we do really stupid things.Modern technology can only make driving safer if people let it and while mostof us are not trying to cause accidents, sometimes they do happen. On the other hand sometimes people do things that defy all logic and end up with hilarious results. keep in mind that with all of these accidents no one was seriously hurt, though pride may have taken a serious hit.
The number one has to be a man in Georgia who decided tovideo himself doing a burn out in a Dodge Ram. The event starts out ok but endsup with him losing control of the truck, hitting an embankment and flipping thetruck. This just proves that there are people out there with more money thanbrains, who also have video cameras. Next has to be a group of men in Japan, while ontheir way to a car show in a slew of high powered super cars. The group racingthrough traffic, the lead driver miscalculates a pass and ends up hitting the guardrail. This will go down in history as one of the most epic crashes that hasever happened. Due to the fact that almost all the cars traveling in the groupended up in the crash and all of them totaled. Oh and one Toyota Prius that had a big of damage on the rear bumper...what a tragedy. 
The automotive fails this year did not stick to tarmac in the case of this off-road driver. He decided that Ken Block is not theonly person who can jump their vehicle on a dirt road. After a long run up, ofobviously not enough speed he hit the ramp and launches his Chevy. It is not somuch the launch that as it is the landing that caused the problem. The trucknever reached the landing area and smashed into the embankment, causing massivedamage to the vehicle. Which just goes to prove when it comes to insane stunts leave it to the professionals. 
Then there is the presidential award forautomotive fail this year, which actually involves the President. ThePresidential motorcade was able to get high centered in Dublin while travelingover a curb. This is a vehicle that can take a shot from an RPG without ascratched and it has been defeated by a sidewalk. It just goes to show that an automotivefail can happen to anyone anytime so be on the lookout.
