More to the point, how do you have 5 collisions without realizing you are driving the wrong way? :confused:

If he drove for 11 miles, WTF didnt he just make a U-turn and go in the correct direction and then take an exit and then come back the correct way ? Or just stop on the shoulder or on the side or even right most lane (if no shoulder).

Someone needs to check his computer to make sure he wasnt practicing GTA style driving in real life.

Or, how do you live through 5 head-on collisions when you're 66?

66 is just the amount of years after birth. That is one factor, although the largest one, into age. Someone that's 66 can be older than someone that's 90. That's why it's so hard to legislate a year requirement for driving.

After the first couple of crashes didn't kill him he started to get the feeling that maybe this was his day.

Then you should kill yourself now since every second you're alive you're getting older.

Ok, I just want to know what he was driving that was able to keep going after 4 collisions and then a 5th head-on while keeping its occupants relatively unharmed. Must have been an armored car or something.

It was in France, they have a lot of tiny cars :p

Nearly all new Renaults are five star rated.
