Probably stolen considering the reckless driving and the direction of travel.

Was that a real person or a dummy?

In the context of the video, the answer is yes.

Let's just hope everyone survived without long term injuries.

So they can reflect back every time they drive and drive like an old lady

I read an article about safety, and barriers to acting safely. One thing stood out for me and it makes a lot of sense. A person engages in a certain risky behavior (Driving aggressively beyond skill level), and with pure luck, gets away with it. That increases confidence level with no increase in skill level. The next time, the behavior gets more risky. With pure luck, the person gets away with it. Increased confidence, no increase in skill level. And so it goes until the person thinks he has great skills and is really great at the particular skill. The unfortunate thing is that the person is usually very low skilled and is getting very lucky. Then there is an accident and the person is wondering how it could have happened. I mentioned it in another thread: I see more risky maneuvers in 15 minutes on I-75 than I do in 2 hours at the Kentucky Speedway.

Replace the airbag with a knife and the accident rate will go down.
Can't put a name to that quote but I tend to agree.

Real people... apparently there were 4 people in the car, but I think this might be incorrect reporting. One has died, and the other in a serious condition. That roadway is very busy and there is just no way you can speed along there.. without consequences !!

ZA has already put a lot of lolly into a spy satellite, who we're going to spy on is the biggest riddle... butttt is seems like more miss-appropriated money for dodgy projects. AFAIK it was going to be launched on that 'explosive' rocket.
