How to name this?
The ghastly accident?
Or waiting for mate?
Story from Courier Mail, Australia.
The footage, from Channel 7’s Highway Patrol, has amassed more than 250,000 YouTube views and it’s own Facebook page with more than 45,000 likes after it was uploaded in recent days.
The video shows Senior Constable Ash Bowden responding to reports of a car doing burnouts in Carrum Downs, 34km southeast of Melbourne’s CBD.

What seems like a routine hunt for hoon drivers takes a turn for the bizarre, when he finds a car crashed on a curb and the driver, named in the video as Clinton, sitting inside.
When asked what happened, Clinton nonchalantly explains: “I’m just waiting for a mate.”
Seemingly unaware of the extensive damage to his car, Clinton continues the charade and repeats the “waiting for a mate” line four times over the next few minutes.
The exchange starts:
Sen-Constable Bowden: How did you get down here?
Clinton: Does it matter?
Sen-Constable Bowden: Yeah, it kind of does mate, because you’ve just been involved in an accident.
Clinton: No I haven’t.
Sen-Constable Bowden: Yes you have.
Clinton: Have I?
Sen-Constable Bowden: Yeah.
Clinton: What kind of accident?
Sen-Constable Bowden: One with a curb mate. Your whole car’s smashed up.
Sen-Constable Bowden shows the patience of a kindergarten teacher when saying he wants to conduct a breath test, with this exchange:
Clinton: I’ll do this for you.
Sen-Constable Bowden: Yep, that’d be great.
