What? it's true isn't it? Look at the comment section.
lol

Well, it's Richmond, you gotta accept the fact that most people will think that the slow speed accidents came from them and high speed ones by young L/N with 350Z or BMW 3's split in half... hahahaha

i dont get why people even use the gas to reverse and back out of a spot in the first place, doing it faster with the gas just increases the risk

How could it get that far? After moving in the direction you don't want to be moving (ie.: through the wall), it would be appropriate to realize that what you're hitting isn't the brake lol.
