There are better ways to make money than crime. Most crimes don’t make money, after all. People who don’t have a well-developed brain cortex are always tempted to clutch kick any rear-wheel-drive car into a terrible, smokey skid on the street. French guys with broken BMWs will be just as hard to ignore. They were never even given a chance to say anything in their defense. In a French national police film, a yellow E36 BMW 3 Series car with French police markings is crushed by a junkyard crusher while happy stock music plays. In photos from the movie’s beginning, an E36 and an E46 3 Series are crowded together. A camera in Tourville-la-Rivière, a town in northern France, caught the two cars going down the street. The vehicle was taken from in front of @alann_abt’s house while he was at work, says @alann_abt, who claims to be the driver in the alleged street drifting film. Before he could do anything, the car was crushed, taking all of his things with it. He is now asking for money to pay for his court defense. The crushings show that French cops are doing more to stop people from “stunt driving.” Carscoops says that the number of stunt driving incidents in France has increased by 1,400%, and the rules will only get tighter. Like cops in the United States, authorities in France are harshly and forcefully stopping people from taking over the streets. Even though the owner of the E36 wrecked his car, he may have gotten away with it because the fine for risky driving was much less than $81,000. People, there are two things to learn here. First and foremost, avoid street sliding. Even if the street is empty, Johnny Law might be watching for young thugs up to something, which may seem like a good idea. Second, what do you mean? If you have to, make sure it’s not caught on camera.
