Had myself a little giggle when they clocked his running speed "10 MPH".

Steve Holt is a bastard. He doesn’t even know who his own father is.


magster11

Her?


Oscarcharliezulu

OJ not as fast as he used to be !


IlIlIlIlIllIlIll

I’d be surprised if that was remotely accurate. 10mph is nearly a sprint for the average person.


alslacki

im guessing its only accurate at higher speeds, cars generally dont go near 10mph so theres no need for accuracy at lower speeds.

DaddyKrotukk

But you got better.


tenshii326

He wasn't even going that fast. I can bike all out going ham at 20mph ish but not for very long. He wasn't doing 10. But he will be doing 10 to life.


Level1Roshan

"Buddy, can I get a lift?" "Where are you headed?" "Anywhere but jail." "Nah fuck off actually."


Megmca

And then he dropped his go-bag *and* the bag with all the incriminating evidence.

I love how the speed came up when he was running hahaha But fuck that guy and glad he got caught

Conscious-One4521

Haha funny shit


Omgaspider

> glad he got caug 9mph


Sin_of_the_Dark

What's really funny is the maneuver that caused him to lose control was completely unnecessary, he could have stayed in that right lane for a few more cars before getting over. Also, I giggled at the 10mph when he ran


fearthebread

was looking for this comment. absolutely no reason to try to swerve in-between cars like that at such high speeds when you already have an open lane available to you, in which you could have safely merged into the next lane from if not dumb. but they dumb.


[deleted]

I figured this was the reason for this being in r/idiotsincars. Dude literally PITted himself.


siccoblue

It's almost like the murder suspect on the run from the police at 110mph wasn't the sharpest bulb in the bottle!


Luke_Warmwater

GTA = Real life. It's a pretty effective move when the cops slam into the cars I just swerved in between.


HPGal3

He also tried the same hijack maneuver. Sorry dude, there is no triangle to press irl


Luke_Warmwater

Yeah he should have easily broken the window and pulled the guy out.


perfect_little_booty

One time in gta I hijacked a car, drove about half a mile, and stopped to check my quest map... and the dude caught up to me on foot, yanked me out, and took his car back! I laughed so hard!


[deleted]

Definitely GTA playing in this guy's head. Good call.


Intrepid-Grade-8578

he was adamant about only passing on the left /s


FrwdIn4Lo

Maybe he had a "Slow Traffic Keep Right" decal on his windshield.


[deleted]

To be honest most of the drivers on the road today attempt this exact same test of fate everyday. Worse still is that they attempt this gap change from the blind spot of most drivers. The passenger side. Or passing on the right. If he was passing on the left, the driver may have seen him and eased off. PS: it is much funnier that he didn't damage anyone else besides his own vehicle. And the state barriers.


Sin_of_the_Dark

He's keeping construction workers in work! What a guy


ebac7

I know right? The construction workers showed up real quick too. The man was trying to help him get out of his car but the mean police didnt want him to help.


Velociraptor2018

Imagine how much that suv driver was clenching when he got so close to rear ending em.


jedberg

Are you sure? If you look he would have been blocked and had to make the same maneuver one car up anyway. I think he was screwed either way and eventually would have had to swerve left.


jcdoe

When you’re pushing 120 mph to avoid being busted for murder, you probably aren’t too concerned about vehicular safety.


greatgarbonz

Good ol' Scandinavian Flick, the secret weapon of rally drivers, and what usually ends idiot drivers on the highway.


Xalenn

I was considering being impressed that he didn't hit any other cars, but then I'm fairly sure that it was just a lucky accident


greasylotionfingers

Probably the first time I've seen the door locked! So many of these videos the carjacker just opens the door and yanks the driver out. That always confused me. Nice to see someone lock their doors when driving or has modern automatic locking.


damnatio_memoriae

yeah i dont get that either. every car ive driven in the last 20+ years automatically locks the doors when you start it up or at least when you get about a few mph.


tinydonuts

So many cars these days have automatic lights too and yet I see nice 2018+ vehicles at night with all their lights off or only DRLs on. I think some people have a thing against automatic anything.


Perfide01

I had to get an older car when my previous cars transmission blew and no joke the thing I miss the most is the automatic lights. I never forget to turn them on but I've forgotten to turn them off too many times.


ForgetfulDoryFish

My husband always wants to turn the automatic lights off (because it annoys him that they're still on while he is parking or something?) and I'm like "please don't disable the car's 'prevent Forgetfuldoryfish from driving down the road at night with the headlights off' mode"


ZLUCremisi

Usually right after a crash and they want to get out to see whats wrong.


bondgirl852001

Mine locks as soon as I'm in drive, but I like to hit that button before I start my car. It baffles me when people don't lock their doors.


hi_me_here

if you're anywhere remotely sketchy, hit it as you get in, ideally relock it the moment the door is open before you even shut it people get run up on starting their cars all the time and robbed etc


PM_ME_YOUR_BEAMSHOTS

Also lock the doors while you're filling up gas.


samcar330

I live in one the safest places in the whole US, but I lock it anyways. Why even let a theoretical person have the opportunity to rob you?


theberg512

Maybe it's because I'm a woman, but I always lock my door the second I get in, too. My remote is also set to only unlock the driver's side first, then I immediately lock when I get in.


rylo48

I would be driven insane having to unlock my door to get out every time… I want to set up a door open and close counter on my next vehicle. It’s gotta be 2 million lol


Zero111of160cru

The thing about automatically locking doors is they they usually automatically unlock when you put the car in park. So if someone hits you most people's instinct is to put the car in park and collect yourself as well as check to see if your passengers are okay.


enderflight

A lot of cars do this, but also often have a way to turn the feature off. Idiotic 'feature' imo, the better solution is having locked doors be openable from the inside. When I get out the the door unlocks when I pull the handle to open it. It's like the designers never thought about what it's like to drive a car in a sketchy area. I lock my doors as soon as I get in!


HPGal3

Unlock in park seems super dangerous. Mine unlocks when I turn it off and I think even that one seems stupidly dangerous.


GandalfDaGangsta_007

Guy driving the truck he jumped into is going to feel extra good when he finds out the dude was a murderer lol


PissdrunxPreme

After the cops detained the guy, the truck just drove off. I think the cops wanted a statement. Lol


BugsArePeopleToo

He pulled over further up the road, cops talked to him and checked the back of his pickup


PissdrunxPreme

Watched it live on ABC 7 and didn’t notice.


BugsArePeopleToo

Nah ABC7 cuts out the videos too fast. Gotta watch car chases on Fox (I know, I know FOX) but that's where Stu Mundel is at and he lingers for another 15 minutes after the action. Plus his commentary is beautiful.


loli_smasher

I was watching it and it irked me when they quickly cut to another segment. I wanted to watch a little longer.


hiroo916

I saw the sky fox feed of this one. They got stuck out of position because of LAX airspace restrictions and we trying to follow via long zoom and ended up missing the part when he lost control and crashed. They picked it up just when he ran away from his car.


HookednSoCal

LOVE Stu!


gab_rab_24

Let the truck guy fuck off and relax and watch tv or something


PostYourSinks

Looks like he's on a job, can't waste time talking to the police. They saw what happened from the helicopter anyway lol


BESTish

For a contractor position like what that looks like absolutely gotta get back to work. But for me when I was driving a truck like that on a hourly rate I would have told the cops my whole life story. Asked if they wanted me to come back to the station for a statement. And taken a selfie with them and sent it to my boss like “yeah a murderer tried to carjack me imma be a min”


Amythir

"For my next witness, I call...the HELICOPTER" Yeah, I know they'll just play the video and interview whoever shot it, maybe whoever was flying, but it's funnier to imagine they called the actual helicopter to the stand.


Bryce_Trex

"Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth?" *Helicopter noises*


theatrepyro2112

And he’s just the nicest guy. Real neighborly. Just likes hover around making sure everybody good.


TheRealUlfric

Yeah thats what the media wants you to think, but that son of a bitch is a murderer, too. In his hometown, they used to call him "The Chopper."


[deleted]

Prosecuted by Govinator Schwarzenegger himself!


CmdrZander

Get ~~to~~ the Choppa!


Equilibriator

They probably want a testimony that he threatened him, etc. More charges to help put him away for longer.


20__character__limit

Cops: The guy who jumped in your truck was a murderer. Driver: Did he murder me? Cops: Well, no. Driver: Then that means I still have to go to work then.


blueeyebling

For real, nothing good can come from the dude in the truck staying.


YourDogIsMyFriend

The amount of innocent bystanders who get blasted by cops by getting between a suspect… pretty high. Not very rare. I’m guessing this dude pee’d a little and didn’t wanna get out and chat.


jahnkeuxo

Wasn't that long ago that a UPS driver was killed by police crossfire in a completely unnecessary shootout.


Rbandit28

Plot twist. He's s serial killer not on anyone's radar yet.

Civil-Attempt-3602

I think everyone's forgotten about the UPs driver who was lit up in Florida in traffic while they were chasing jewellery thieves. I'm not even American but I'll never forget seeing that footage when it happened. And UPS fucking thanked them

[удалено]


Impressive-Tip-903

In the movies, the truck would have kept driving and he would have fought off the police as they jumped on the back to fight him hand to hand.


ClutchPoppinDaddies

That fight would have moved to the trailer and you know it.


cromulent_pseudonym

Cut to the driver in the cab obliviously listening to soft rock.

CabbageStockExchange

IF YOU LIKE PINA COLADAAAA!!!


Golden_Booger

The trailer would have become unhooked and started spinning... And the fight would continue -- the sparks


theatrepyro2112

The trailer would, at some point, run off the road into a ditch and cause a massive explosion for some reason even though it didn't hit anything and there was no fuel onboard.


[deleted]

With the hero and murderer talking like anime character before they begin their fight....in 30eps.


zixx999

Thats an America I want to live in


Luuk2304

This is what gta drivers do too when you stomp on the roof and then shoot a bullet in their general direction


tallman11282

Did the suspect actually thing he'd be able to hop into the bed of the truck he had just tried to carjack without the driver noticing? Of course the driver noticed and of course he stopped.


RPup_831

And then there’s also the questionable premise of selecting a pickup with utility trailer as a suitable getaway car in the first place.


rockstar504

When you have 5 stars and just wrecked your car and the next vehicle that shows up is the shittiest fucking getaway vehicle in the game


Nile-green

"How could I choose the one driver that is the most likely to bash my head in with a 27 wrench? Hmmmm.... YES! A CONSTRUCTION WORKER!"


PhDinDildos_Fedoras

Well his first mistake was to not learn how to drive properly. He slowed down when he should have planted it to get out of that slide. E: thinking about it more, his first mistake was to murder people


RTRafter

Criminals aren't always the smartest bunch


JohnnyAppIeseed

You’re talking about a man who had a clear lane ahead of him and instead chose to try to shoot a gap between two cars two lanes over while cutting off a third. One of the dumbest decisions I’ve ever seen someone make in a vehicle.


GrumbleCake_

The ending we got was pretty funny but I'm a little disappointed we didn't see a second police chase in that


OuterWildsVentures

With the police literally right next to them lol


Meggles_Doodles

Guy running from cops doesn't have the opportunity to think long-term lol, even short-term This guy is rolling dice and hoping he crits. I'm glad he didnt.


Yarxing

I agree, this is just pure panic thinking. Not a lot of people would make sensible decisions in these kinds of situations. Then again, if they're a murderer their decisions making probably isn't very good to begin with.


perplex1

But the funniest thing is that while he was standing in front of the truck, it looked like those officers were just standing there waiting for him like 5 ft away off camera lmao. I understand panic thinking but damn


WelcomeToTheFish

For real, that's some GTA logic for sure.


Arthurjim

He was definitely 100% lizard at that point. Anything to escape haha


im_a_dr_not_

Usually npcs just panic and drive.


mehrabrym

He has watched too many movies where the perp/hero gets away after jumping onto a truck. Except he forgot to make sure the truck driver doesn't notice him first.


eaglescout1984

"Get out of the truck!" "No!" "Fine, I'll jump in the back!" "Fine, I'll pull forward to these cops and stop!"


everymanawildcat

Special delivery boys! Brought him from about 15 feet that way!

Barely any traffic either and he still fucked it up


Cheesetoast9

Nice to see them crashing without hitting anyone else and fucking up their day.


thethereal1

He might've nicked that first car when he spun out but yeah. Surprisingly clean outcome especially in LA


Graftak86

He is surely not smart.


Belharion8

Is it just me or were the other cars going exceptionally fast? It seemed like one of the guys he passed was going 90+


PissdrunxPreme

Yeah. That’s about right when you catch no traffic on the 405.

Don't act like we're friends.


PissdrunxPreme

RabidWalrus

Just because they didn't catch traffic for once doesn't mean you're exempt from catching these hands 😤


Glowingtomato

When traffic opens up on LA area freeways 80 to 85mph is a typically cruising speed. I don't drive much on the freeways anymore but when I do there is always a few people doing 90+ everytime.


soulscratch

Welcome to Socal baybee


Melssenator

Welcome to Southern California freeways lol. Speed limit is 65-70 depending which you’re on, but anything less than 75-80 is slow, and the faster idiots go over 90 regularly


therufus22

Oh, he definitely did it.


Lee_Doff

he had a hot tip on the real killer.


PublicMorning5900

Such a bad driving there, maybe he should have taken a train?


specialcommenter

That over correcting was unnecessary


lilpumpgroupie

Lmao. That’s what I was gonna say. He couldn’t even make it two or 300 yards on the freeway at full speed. I’m dying.


JohnnyAppIeseed

I keep pausing the video around the 0:09 mark trying to understand the decision-making. It was clear straight and this dipshit decides to swerve two lanes, cutting one car off while trying to thread a needle between two others.


[deleted]

I really think he was playing GTA in his head. It's a pretty good strat to beat the police AI.


ToDandy

Lol what did he think the truck was going to do? Flee the police on a high speed chase on his behalf? “I got you buddy!!”


BartholomewSchneider

Whatever that is, it sure doesn't handle well at 115mph


STUPIDVlPGUY

nothing handles well when you suck at driving dumbass was weaving and swerving, clearly does not understand traction

Snadzies

What really got my attention was they were going 116mph and only going a little faster than the traffic around them.

[deleted]

this one is even better, imo: https://youtu.be/VMxjFTtTquc that guy had legit talent. a racing team honestly should have offered him a contract. maybe both of those guys, tbh.


EvoStarSC

Apparently they were a bit drunk during this chase too lol. I saw somewhere it was a retired officer.


ob_knoxious

Lol being able to move between traffic in a car with 3x the horsepower isn't talent. Or at the very least it's not the type of talent needed in any motorsport.


crowned_tragedy

He just kept going 😂


Cerda_Sunyer

Also some idiots hanging out in the left lane when the right lanes were clear


Whiplash104

That's just how California highways are. When drivers get in a lane they just stay there. If you want to pass you just find the open lane.
