Dominic Toretto is without a doubt one of the greatest drivers in the history of cinema. The driving skills that he shows off throughout the Fast & Furious franchise have solidified him as a force to be reckoned with behind the wheel. Whether he is street racing, stealing, or taking on some of the craziest stunts ever, he turns heads. Some of the things that Dom has done would be hard to believe if they took place in any other film franchise, but the Fast & Furious movies are all about suspending disbelief.

Dom has established himself as a family-man who will stop at nothing to protect who he loves, and is not afraid to get his hands dirty if needed. Dom's strength makes him very menacing to his enemies, and makes him someone you shouldn't cross. However, those closest to him know that if you earn his trust, you are in his good books forever.

Based on these definitions, it would seem that Dom's personality is fairly cut-and-dry. However, fans know one important thing - there are some things about him that make no sense at all. Despite there being eight films focused on him, there are many aspects about him which make fans' heads spin. Even looking closer at each film makes some of the things about Dom even harder to believe. Some of the crazy things he has done almost make him seem as if he is not even human. Perhaps it is only a matter of time before it is revealed that he is actually a robot!

Here are 20 Things That Make No Sense About Dom Toretto.

He Has Superhuman Strength

Vin Diesel may look like one of the strongest people on Earth, but some things that happen in the Furious franchise just do not make sense. Dom Toretto has been involved in many situations that have shown off his muscles. In fact, his gigantic frame usually prevents violence due to how intimidating he is. There are certainly times when his behemoth stature helps them out of serious situations. While being intimidated by Dom is certainly understandable, the films sometimes exaggerate just how strong he is.

While working on a Lykan Hypersort in Furious 7, Dominic deadlifts the car with ease. Considering that the Hypersport weighs over 3,000 pounds, that is an impossible feat. While fans would like to believe that he is superhuman, feats like this push the boundaries of reality too much.

He Learned To Drive When He Was Only 5

Dominic has been around cars and racing his entire life. Since his father was a stock car racer and an avid gear-head, he likely used to play with wrenches instead of rattles. While most kids are still struggling to stop wetting the bed, fans are supposed to believe that Dom was driving vehicles.

It is unthinkable that he would be operating motor vehicles that early in life. Particularly due to how dangerous and unpredictable cars can be-- and how much his father loved him-- it is hard to believe that he would endanger his son this way. Dom is adamant that he has been in the driver's seat since before he could read, despite the implausibility. However, there are very few people willing to argue with Dominic Toretto.

 He learned nothing from his dad's accident

During a stock car race, Dom's father lost his life instantly after being run off the track and into a wall. Not only did Dom lose his father that day, but he was sitting in the audience watching while the car burst into flames. Considering how devastating and traumatizing this would be, it is hard to think that Dom would ever want to be around racing again. Instead, he does the absolute opposite.

Dom throws himself directly in to the dangerous life of racing despite what happened to his father. He continues to race and live his life dangerously behind the wheel even though he knows how dangerous high speeds can be. Doesn't it make more sense that he would steer clear from life on the road? Apparently not to Dom, as his recklessness on the road only increases over the years.

He Hurt Hundreds Of Innocent Bystanders

From narrowly escaping high-speed trains to jumping out skyscrapers, all the way to taking down a 747 airplane on an runway, Dom has been responsible for some incredible visual displays of awesomeness over the years. However, throughout all of the Fast and Furious films, has anyone ever stopped to think about the innocent bystanders nearby?

All of the crazy escapes, chases, and stunts that Dom has pulled have all been in public areas. Some even take place in broad daylight, which means that hundreds of civilians are close by during this craziness. It stands to reason that many of them have been hurt before by falling debris, gunfire, or speeding vehicles. He may seem like a good guy, but he certainly has some explaining to do about all the people who have been hurt because of him!

He Flirts With Women At Races

He may be in love with Letty, but it seems that Dom has a straying eye. Despite having a deep connection with Letty that stems back from their childhood, Dom has shown some moments of weakness. While waiting for his first race in The Fast and the Furious, Dom is approached by two women before beginning the race. While he does seem to be very interested in them, he does not get very long to act on his impulses as Letty quickly comes over to scare the women away.

Dom defends himself to Letter that they were "just talking." but he should know better than anyone not to betray Letty.

He Abandoned Letty In Dominican

Following a successful fuel heist in Fast & Furious, the law is hot on Dom's trail. In order to keep the cops guessing to their whereabouts, the crew splits up in to different areas. Most fans would have assumed that even though the other were relocating that Dom and Letty would remain together.

It seems that Dom had other plans, and leaves Letty behind in the Dominican Republic. She loses her life shortly afterward. Dom may have been trying to protect her by leaving, but he only left her vulnerable to his enemies. While Letty's true fate would eventually be revealed, it was no one's fault but Dom's.

He has No Control Over his Temper

Much like the Hulk, no one likes Dom when he is angry. Unfortunately, this also seems to be a very frequent occurrence. Despite his need to be the level-headed leader of his crew, Dom has a tendency to lash out very quickly in the heat of the moment. Whether he is angry at Brian, Vince, or even Letty, Dom's temper often gets the best of him.

This can even be traced back to him getting kicked out of the professional racing circuit. Due to his inability to control himself near the driver who inadvertently caused his father's ing, Dom will never be a professional driver. If only he could learn to control his temper, he would never have had to resort to a life of crime. Perhaps now that he has a newborn son to take care of, he will finally learn to control himself.

He trusts strangers way too easily

It seems that after meeting Brian O'Conner that Dom's life is never the same. While their relationship turned in to one as close as brothers, it did not start out that way. When Brian's true nature as a cop is revealed, Dom is understandably angry, but he eventually allows him back into the family.

It is even more surprising that he becomes more trusting of other strangers down the road. When new people are introduced into Dom's group, he is not as skeptical of them as he was when he first met Brian. Even though some of these strangers wind up betraying him, his guard is not up nearly as high. This is especially odd considering that Dom is now a wanted criminal. Shouldn't he be more guarded about who he trusts?

He Has An Unreal Pain Tolerance

Not only does it appear that Dom has superhuman strength, but he also has a pain threshold akin to Superman-- or a Terminator. Over the years of the Fast and Furious franchise, Dom has taken several beatings. Whether he is involved in car crashes, fist fights, or even being shot, he never reacts to any pain that is inflicted on him. Perhaps it can be chalked up to adrenaline, but he has never shown signs of being hurt before.

Dom seems to have an immunity to bullets, fire, and high-impact crashes since has not so much as winced while taking damage. Any other time that another member of the crew is hurt, they do not hesitate to express pain and ask for help. On the other hand, Dom is much more willing to just keep on driving despite being hurt.

 He ditched Elena

Finding out that Letty had ed away was very difficult for Dom. The two of them had been together for his entire adult life, and losing her left a hole in his heart. There was a time where it looked like Dom would never find the strength to love again, until he met Elena Neves. The former police officer was able to crack through Dom's tough exterior, as well as the emotional walls that he built up following Letty's ing. Eventually, they become involved romantically and are even living together. They seem to be incredibly happy together until Dom learns that Letty is alive.

Without any more than little confirmation, Dom is very quick to leave Elena behind, despite having feelings for her. His love for Letty may be incredibly strong, but Dom hardly considered Elena's feelings while making his decision.
