Check out the body shadow of the passenger on the seat.

I'm fairly impressed the car isn't a wreck, must have taken something not to lose control...

| 220 KPH is way out of line. The driver was a turkey. |

Not sure where it happened, but could well have been on the German Autobahns so he/she might have been just keeping pace with the rest of the traffic.
It's not a chicken looking at it either, looks more like a pheasant, had one of them jump in front of one of my old cars years back at only 60mph and it trashed the front, they're big birds!

True. But look at the basic ingredients: Maybe a passenger + wildlife + and 220 kph - there's something a bit nutty about that. Come to Jersey, NY State (I81) and Ontario and we'll introduce you to the deer. 
Anyway, I still kind of find it hard to believe. |

well I will be the first to say REPOST,
this is VERY old, circled the forums about 1 year give or take.
And 220kmph is NOT that fast.

Lizard you're right - it's only 136.7 miles per hour, or 186 feet per second. Perfect speed for dodging wildlife. Makes driving way more interesting!
You young guys are freaking insane. lol So I give up - you guys win. Driving 220 kph is perfectly ok and it's the totally chicken's fault. In fact, I'm glad that chicken died, he deserved it the ignorant rule defying bastard chicken sonofabitch! |

Thats shockingly bad luck!!! A friend of mine once had a pigeon fly through his open window at about 40mph, it hit him square in the chest and nearly broke his ribs! So he got out and disposed of it in a rather nasty angry way!

220 is fast even for the german limit-free autobhands ! i've driven that fast and you cant really go more than say...max 5 km and then you have to slow down ALOT because of trafic....i burried the foot deep into the brakes when i had to slow down from ~210 to ~100 because some idiot decided he has to get past the slow moving truck infront of him...actualy he was driving a slow truck too  !
