Idiot Porsche Carjackers Fail Because They Can’t Drive Stick

The driver of a Porsche 718 Boxster was left with minor injuries following an attempted carjacking in the Washington D.C. area that ended in failure because the would-be thieves didn’t know how to drive stick.

The incident occurred late in the evening on November 26 in Bethesda, Maryland. A businessman was parked outside his restaurant when several suspects in a red Nissan Rogue pulled alongside. Dashcam footage from the Porsche captures the harrowing event, showing an armed man jumping out and pushing the owner onto the sidewalk. A second person jumps out of the Nissan, and a third appears from the driver’s side of the SUV.

All four suspects momentarily step out of frame then reappear, presumably after subduing the driver. Two jump back in the Nissan while the third gets in the car. A fourth individual is seen pointing a gun through the SUV’s passenger front window. Several seconds pass, and we eventually hear the Porsche start – and quickly stall – twice. The footage abruptly cuts off shortly thereafter, but a report from Fox 5 says the would-be carjackers ultimately fled the scene.

Fox 5 further states the Porsche owner was targeted specifically for his Boxster and was followed by the suspects from nearby Washington, D.C. to his business. He ultimately ran inside his restaurant to take cover and he claims shots were fired, but none struck him. Police are still investigating the incident.

See Speeding Driver Illegally Pass Unmarked Police Car, Get Served Instant Justice

In the Czech Republic, a driver recently attempted to illegally overtake two cars on a two-lane road near a railroad crossing. While this type of behavior is common worldwide, what makes this situation unusual is that one of the cars being passed was an unmarked police car.

The incident was captured on two cameras inside the unmarked police car, one on the dashboard and another facing out the rear window. As the police car approaches a railroad crossing, it slows down along with the hatchback in front of it. At the same time, a large tandem trailer truck approaches from the opposite lane.

A silver Ford then approaches from behind. As soon as the truck passes, the Ford speeds up, overtaking both the police car and the hatchback just as they cross the railroad track. Immediately, the unmarked police car accelerates, overtaking the hatchback and initiating a pursuit of the Ford. It is unclear if the police car turned on its lights and siren, but the Ford quickly activates its hazard lights and pulls over to the side of the road, waiting for the police officer to approach.

According to the Czechia Police YouTube channel, the violation occurred at a rail crossing near Sedlec, a community located about forty miles outside Prague, in a no-passing zone. The thirty-eight-year-old foreign driver of the Ford was cited for making an illegal pass and could face a fine of up to $439 (10,000 Czech crowns), as well as a potential one-year driving ban.

Although no one was injured, and no vehicles were damaged in this incident, it had the potential for a serious accident. Train-truck collisions can result in train derailments, explosions, and significant damage. Similarly, drivers who attempt illegal passes often face instant karma and the consequences of their actions.
