I suppose he can legitimately claim his car "rocks." It's amazing he survived that impact.

Is the car LHD or RHD??

I am guessing LHD. If that guy doesn't go to church he better start.

France is LHD. I'm just waiting for this to happen in my hometown. Along the main road that goes through town, there is a huge rock perched on the edge of one of the cuts through the hills. The only thing holding it there is another rock on the opposite edge sitting on top of it.

Dont they use super strong fences and nets to contain falling rocks? I know they do in PA and TN. Although, a giant boulder like that looks hard to hold back.

Nope! At least not here. It's not a big mountain or anything, just a section where they cut through a hill. The road is also a large 3 lane highway with shoulders about as wide as a normal lane; I suppose that it's likely anything that fell would just land in the ditch or, at worst, on the shoulder. It's still scary looking.

Needless to say, the 1st Annual Boulder Car Meet was a rocking good time... For most.

That makes some sense, France has a tradition for "falling" .
