You may have missed the part where the driver of the BMW “hopped the curb” “at 70”. I have some doubts about the speed, but if you’re going over a curb at speed to try to pass someone, you’re in the wrong.

I think that description is a little suspect. If you hop a curb at 70, your car is getting jacked up.

It's 70kph, not mph. As a delivery driver I take curbs at 70kph every day, modern suspensions can take that without issues

Taking a curb at 43 mph doesn't sound right unless the curbs where you live are tiny

German curbs, they are about 10cm high. Don't know how that compares to other countries curbs
