Man - “Honey?”
Fiancée - “Yes baby!”
Man - “I’m sorry, but I’m gonna be late for our wedding”
Fiancée - “WHAT HAPPENED?”
Man - “A tank passed over my car!”
Fiancée - “WHAT! You’re joking, right?”
Man - “No, it’s true. A military tank passed over my car and I can’t go anywhere”
Fiancée - “Ah, come ON now! LET ME TALK TO THE DRIVER NOW”
Man - “Err… you can’t. He fled the scene”
Fiancée (already crying) - “YOU DON’T LOVE ME! THIS IS THE LAMEST EXCUSE I EVER HEARD. If you don’t want to marry me, WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY SO?”
Man – “But, but… it’s true...”
Fiancée – “You don’t love me you bastard”
Man – “… the Americans are... are... err... Satan..."
Fiancée – “DON’T GIVE ME THAT CRAP. You ALWAYS say that when you’re late for something. YOU NO GOOD BASTARD. I’VE HAD IT WITH YOU!”
Man – “But, but… Honey? Are you still there? Hello? Helloooo?”
Fiancée - “Yes baby!”
Man - “I’m sorry, but I’m gonna be late for our wedding”
Fiancée - “WHAT HAPPENED?”
Man - “A tank passed over my car!”
Fiancée - “WHAT! You’re joking, right?”
Man - “No, it’s true. A military tank passed over my car and I can’t go anywhere”

Saw something similar in person when I was in Bosnia 10 years back. For the life of me, I am having trouble remembering the nationality of the tank that ran over a car (Danish?). I remember seeing the same car driver swerving in and out of traffic not 10 minutes earlier. Guess he just thought he had the right of way...
Dumb drivers are everywhere - US convoys do not stop if at all possible in Iraq. From the video, you can see the other drivers stopping to let the US convoy pass. A stopped convoy is a very ripe target for all kinds of nefarious things.
Either way, the Iraqi driver will probably still be reimbursed by the US. All he has to do is talk to one of the Civil Affairs guys when they are out in the town.

looks like it was from that video game where the guy is in a big city w/ all the weapons & vehicles at his disposal.
