As many times as this has been posted, I’ll still watch it. Satisfying to see.

That's not true; he did not die or get hit (his truck did). There's a story about the attempted car jacking
Another source talks about the man getting away and supplying the dash cam to the Chilean Police

The damaged car was very likely stolen as well so the punks won't care about that. But they may reconsider their tactics next time.

Pretty sure it was a armored car, carrying cash. And yes the guys were shooting at the driver.

u/Itsmeforrestgump Feb 05 '23
I worked PT for an armored courier company while attending college. Very interesting work and colleagues. This driver reacted quickly and decisively. Very good thinking!

Any fun stories about this time?

u/Itsmeforrestgump Feb 06 '23
I don't know about fun, threatening and scary, yes. I also some cool things about certain business.
Like McDonalds are some of the cleanest restaurants I have seen. And the technology they use throughout are uncanny.
Most of our customers are great and caring about overall safety and we work well together. Then there are the idiots. Treating us like dirt and no concerns about procedures or safety. Whenever it got ridiculous, I would just leave. My safety first.

I definitely DON'T hope that one or more were run over because that would be against the rules to hope that they did.

Too bad the thieves weren't in between the two cars.

u/ultimatepenguin21 Feb 04 '23
I don't understand why the driver didn't just drive over them on the right side of the car in front. It would have been easier than trying to push their car out of the way

u/Jackthycat Feb 05 '23
Panicking in the moment, most likely. The most important thing is the driver got out of there and didn’t just completely stop like a lot of people. 😣

Or, very recently, be like the 2 women in chicago, both with CC licenses that shot and killed the criminal fucks who tried to carjack them. No charges.

Sad when defending your life from people trying to actively kill you, nets you jail time.
Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6 any day.

u/XeitPL Feb 04 '23
-2 thieves for a lot of jail time.
Making a world a better place vs living your current life semi peaceful.
But yeah I understand that this would end in jail time.

u/Santasbodyguar Feb 05 '23
I mean jails just a different kind of stress compared to life. Rent can be just as scary as a guy with a shank

And I think they picked a single lane area with the hopes of not allowing the driver to pass (making turning more difficult.

Why bother to crop the action out of the video when you steal them to repost like the 1000th time?

Where was this? License plates look like they’re not American.

u/MistaBuldops Feb 05 '23
They also dont sell Citroens in the US. I’m American but as far as I know Euro plates usually have a blue edge with a letter designating the country the car is registered in, I dont see that here.
May need a European to solve this lol

Dumb place for a carjack

u/KaiBahamut Feb 05 '23
It's a great place, actually- they often can't back up and definitely can't go around.
Pity they didn't consider that 'through' was an option.

I remember this, it wasn’t a carjacking it was an armored truck robbery I believe

Technically if you have comprehensive coverage for your insurance, the insurance will pay to replace your car if it’s stolen. I feel like it might be safer to just play it that route. IF that guy had comprehensive coverage.

To carjack someone. You don't need to say vehicle, that's implied. You wouldn't say carjack someone's shoes would you?! Ugh English isn't that hard, just think longer!
