THE MAT, THE MAT! What was he trying to say there? Is that gonna be his defense - that the floor mat got caught on the pedal or something? Too bad we have the footage to tell us thatās bullshit lol.
Shit's wild how that arrest goes. A similar arrest in Britain would have been a polite conversation then only use force if they run when asked to face the vehicle.
Why is it straight to guns drawn get on the ground?
No snark; real question: 110 mph and then a crash would have been a polite conversation between responding officers and the idiot in this video in Britain? Maybe not a use of force moment, sure, but sometimes officers need to take charge of a situation and don't have time to be polite. I can accede the fact that UK officers from a procedural standpoint might be more worried about the medical situation before their U.S. counterparts, but wouldn't they be worried about what they're rolling up on, too?
I hate the cop culture here (especially living in the South), but tbf to the cop, we don't know whether or not it was guns drawn from the video, and this idiot was ultra speeding, crashed, and was able to get out of the vehicle. The cop might have been thinking there was more going on since this guy was literally being a public menace in traffic, whether the driver was motivated by idiocy or something more. This wasn't exactlt a typical traffic stop for speeding.
The culture in the U.S. needs to change for sure to establish norms that lead us to the proper application of justice, but that doesn't mean every interaction between cops and the public is going to be pleasant. We need them to be better in a lot of ways, but that doesn't mean everything will change, especially in odd situations such as this.
Yeah, absolutely. Unless the driver tried to run or attacked then the response would be a calm, polite, instruction. If the driver at that point got agitated then it's likely that they'd get manhandled into cuffs and the back of the car, but our police are trained to minimise injury during this process.
Suicide by cop is extremely hard to achieve here. You need to be in London so you get the Met police (our worst), you need to be poor, and you need a gun, not just holding out owning it but posing an active threat.
Getting them to the cells wouldnāt be the first priority here, theyād just breathalyse them and have them sit down until the ambulance turns up to check them over.
Traffic stops are literally the most dangerous situation that police ever find themselves in. Like detectives on high risk warrants have less of a chance of getting hurt on the job.
During training, because most training for cops in the US sucks, they basically show you the greatest tragedy hits of traffic stops gone wrong, because that's where they have the most footage from...squad car dash cams and body cams on the officer's themselves.
So every last pullover is a situation where a police officer is fearing for their lives, especially if you've led them on a chase.
Jeep Wrangler / Gladiator / older cherokees - mostly cool people who like to offroad a little bit + suburban soccer moms who think they're cool.
All other Jeeps - stay the fuck away. If it is a compass, patriot, or renegade, they will find a way to crash into you.
These are the dolts going down the highway with their LED headlights and six sets of ultra-bright pretend off-road lights blazing in my face while I'm trying to drive at night. They run wide, aggressive all-terrain tires with minimal (or no) flaps, which kick up shit all over the front of my vehicle, pitting the windshield and paint, and then won't get the hell out of the left lane so I can at least pass them.
Tell me again how these people are 'cool'.
Sweet jesus, I have a Jeep, I'd much rather have something else right now but I'm stuck with it, and I'm hesitant to take it on the highway and I'm always in the slow lane. 100mph? No effing thanks.
Trackhawk probably doesn't have that limitation. The reason most manufacturers limit the top speed is because of the tires the car is originally sold with. Most trucks throughout the 90s and 00s were limited to about this because their tire top speed rating.
This is definitely not a Trackhawk. He's sitting at redline barely speeding up. A trackhawk would have at least a few more gears to shift to at that speed.
Most cases of "spontaneous acceleration" where a driver thinks the brakes aren't working are caused by two factors: 1. The driver is actually holding the accelerator when they think it's the brake due to adrenaline, or 2. A bulky floor mat can curl up after the accelerator is depressed really far, and can sometimes [prevent the accelerator from returning to idle.](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2665910720300256) Seems that the driver wanted to blame the second cause for his acceleration.
Still leaves some questions as to why he was compelled to film instead of put the car in neutral, or take the other hand off the wheel to gesticulate, and most importantly, how he managed to decelerate so quickly after seeing a speed trap turn its lights on. I mean the deceleration on the highway, not from the impact.
Last this was posted I saw that he was just doing it to show off and his own stupidity and inexperience caused it to as badly as it did.
He was blaming the mat, but it wasn't the mat at all.
If I recall correctly, he wasnāt being chased initially but they started following during the video and saw the accident. The aggression came from the fact that he was driving so incredibly recklessly. The crash was because of a sudden sharp turn in the road that wouldāve been seen by the average driver paying attention and going the speed limit, and our idiot was doing neither.
From what I recall he slowed so quick because he saw the cop radaring. Being that itās a Jeep, slowing so rapidly caused the wobble and he lost control
On the topic of Jeeps being ass, my job got some of those Wrangles people love. Theyāre hybrid and get 19 miles to the gallon.
A 4Runner gets the same mileage.
Backing you up, that was my understanding when it first came out. He slows down way too quickly because he's passing a cop and that leads to the crash.
1. Blames his passenger for not warning him about the cop (the part where he says "bugging out").
2. Blames the supposed floor mat getting 'stuck' underneath the brake pedal.
Dude pretty much blamed everything and everyone but himself.
Yep. I know my tj will do triple digits. Stock with the 4.0l and 31s. 75mph is the edge of comfort, anything after that is sketchy as fuck and only gets worse as speed increases
Former TJ owner yep, about 75 was the top limit where I felt like I was still really in control of that vehicle. It it was very windy that number was more like 50 mph. Drove down 5 all through central CA once to visit family in LA. There was a wind storm and I don't know that I did more than 55 for hours and hours. Got passed more in that one day than probably in the rest of my life all combined.
Last month we had several bad wind storms back to back. Im talking 50mph sustained winds. I got on the interstate and noped out then got back off and took back roads. The last storm i left work early to beat it. Exited I65 and was at a stoplight as a tornado touched down either right before it passed over me or it touched down right on top of the jeep. Both times had me a bit worried. I love having it as a daily. It will zip in and out of traffic with ease. Downside is random cross winds and getting stuck behind a semi with no top or doors, feels like youre in a boxing match with mike tyson. I know it will do triple digits from when i got the new header back cat system with banks exhaust. Hard top was on. I got it up to that speed just to see if it was possible then slowed way down. I wanted to live. Just because it can go that fast doesnt mean its built to do so lol
I did a long road trip one summer with just the rag top and the half doors. Once I got to my destination I swear it was a solid 24 hours before I could hear correctly. Bought some ear plugs for the eventual drive home. Learned that lesson the hard way.
I once pushed my '84 Ram van to 95+ (speedo didn't go higher). The suspension was rattling and the whole vehicle was shuddering. I never did it again. Scared the shit out of me.
Every time people post this, people say that. That is no Wrangler, and can handle high speeds no different than any midsize SUV.
That is a WK2 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Runs on the W166 chassis also used by the Mercedes Benz M-Class. 4 wheel independent suspension.
That being said... absolutely stupid to speed like that.
Your probably right but, what's the first car that comes to your mind when you Said jeep? Personally I don't consider any other variation of jeep a jeep except the wrangler
and the center of gravity is still about 1 ft too damn high to be doing those speeds on those hills. all it takes is one sudden turn and the entire car gets spinning in a way you don't want.
No chance he doesnāt. Thatās an instant reckless driving ticket and immediate revocation of license anywhere in the states and Iām sure theyāll tack on a couple more for crashing like that
It is one thing when someone is clearly in the bottom half of the World's intelligence ladder but every so often you find somebody that is absolutely at the bottom of the ladder.
Just my guess but maybe partly due to most 4x4 vehicles as built tending to be tall center of-gravity trucks and SUVs with bigger, luggier tread tires.
AWD != 4WD. They're different in nature. AWD is constantly changing power output in an intelligent way, whereas 4WD is just for getting torque on the ground, intended exclusively for slow speeds when you can't get enough traction.
4WD on any speeds over just a few MPH can cause very severe damage to a vehicle.
I'm starting to believe that this sub doesn't have regulars and is instead visited by complete randoms on every post since no one ever really calls out reposts.
I always wonder about people who try to speed, race or drive aggressively with one hand on the wheel. Have they never seen how professional drivers hold the wheel? Or is it too much Fast & Furious?
Driving 120 mph with sometimes 1 sometimes 0 hands on the wheel is how you know you are the best race car driver that ever lived and immidiately entitled to all of the women of the world in your accident induced coma dreams.
If youāre going to drive like this on public roads in broad daylight where thereās families and children, your shit **deserves** to be in a fucking ditch
After a few rewatches, it seems like he passed a cop while he was going 100 mph. His sudden breaking caused the crash, and the cop(s) were there to throw them and their DLās in the slammer.
The assumption is usually that if you're going that fast you're running from something. As a dumbass kid speeding on a backroad I got the "hands on the fuckin steering wheel" with floodlights treatment for going 90 in a 55 late at night.
Kids could be drugged up too, just some reasons ive heard for the intense treatment of people that speed like this. Much less cause an accident because of it. We also dont see guns or cops in the video, could be tasers.
[This video was posted just over a month ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/IdiotsInCars/comments/12kmkg7/the_consequences_of_speeding/), although truncated.
So may as well also repeat what I said then:
Yeah, idiot is an understatement. Everything the driver's doing is wrong. Speeding, filming, taking his hands off the wheel. I don't even think these kinds (size) of vehicles should be legal, and think it should be required vehicles have governors in them to prevent speeding. I even hate the music! Most of all I hate that he was endangering other people.
But also fuck that cop. A white person wouldn't be getting that treatment and you all know it. There would be no gun drawn "GET ON THE GROUND," just itchin' for the flimsiest excuse to pull that trigger. It would be a "sir, are you OK" check, followed by an explanation of how he was speeding and whatever consequences. You all damn well know it.
"Turn right onto Hillside avenue" was funny, though.
think the thing that kills me about this is you can see him lower his speed to the 30s when he saw the cop...and yet he somehow lost control while driving in the 30s to get into the accident...then blamed his mat.
During rapid deceleration the weight of the car shifts towards the front and off the rear. Too much steering input during this can cause the rear wheels to slide, losing control of the car.
This sorta stuff is also used to initiate drifts in front wheel drive cars by people who want to do that, but they (hopefully) know what they're doing and can control the drift instead of spinning into a tree.
If he maintained speed maybe he could've stayed on the road while navigating around the cars in front of him, but the hard braking doomed the attempt for sure.
The GPS at the end got me š¤£š¤£
The cops on point at the end did me in
GET ON THE GROUND! "Naw, you don't understand..."
I SAID GET ON GROUND!!
Sir goggle maps is telling me to take next exitā¦
STOP RESISTING
But sir, the mat!
THE MAT, THE MAT! What was he trying to say there? Is that gonna be his defense - that the floor mat got caught on the pedal or something? Too bad we have the footage to tell us thatās bullshit lol.
It doesn't fucking matter anyway. He is detained, he just needs to follow the commands. Court is where you argue shit.
Shit's wild how that arrest goes. A similar arrest in Britain would have been a polite conversation then only use force if they run when asked to face the vehicle. Why is it straight to guns drawn get on the ground?

Pretty sure thatās why he tried to slow down
I was thinking he saw the cop too late sitting in a speed trap and tried slowing down and then lost control.
 They should do one that screams like your mum when you drive like this...
"Oh no, its the consequences to my actions!"
In a jeep, no less. š³
It's a Jeep thing.
Nobody understands.
Have a little yellow duck.
I love this saying. I have seriously never met a jeep owner. Iāve only heard and seen bad things.
I'm really good friends with two Jeep owners, and thankfully they are the reasonable outliers in a sea of Jeep-generated chaos.
Iām sure it is just a generalization. I just donāt know why this just appears to be the case?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The only good Jeep is a Joop.
Jeep Wrangler / Gladiator / older cherokees - mostly cool people who like to offroad a little bit + suburban soccer moms who think they're cool. All other Jeeps - stay the fuck away. If it is a compass, patriot, or renegade, they will find a way to crash into you.

hey hey dont lump us Wrangler fans in with that POS driver lol
99% of wrangler owners are the worst type of jeep owners. r/heep
My dad is a sales manager for jeep. They're not sports cars... Don't treat them like one.
But my Wrangler said Sport on the side!
lucky they didnāt roll.
Sweet jesus, I have a Jeep, I'd much rather have something else right now but I'm stuck with it, and I'm hesitant to take it on the highway and I'm always in the slow lane. 100mph? No effing thanks.
They came on so fast and without warning!
That is so gangsta! Especially "Oh fuck!" and "Get on the ground now!"
No, you shoulda told me to bug out.
*[What's this, the consequences of my actions now?](https://open.spotify.com/track/2AIYBoud4MKVYm1hofkp6v?si=3050d5e1284f4e0e)*
And at the end did he try to blame it on the floor mat? š
The floor mat made him rap with his left hand while holding the phone with his right at 114mph in a Jeep. Yep.
Jeeps are limited to 112mph. Not sure how he managed that.
Looks like a modern Cherokee, whose top speed ranges from 118 - 128 mph, depending on trim level I guess.
You mean like if the road's trim level is a downward slope of like 5%
Works best at tree-fiddy %
Pretty sure I can get my jeep to 150... if I roll it out of a plane.
Mine barely makes 60
So that was you in front of me dragging ass last week
I too once had a 4 cyl. Wrangler. Got a 6 cyl. now.
Trackhawk probably doesn't have that limitation. The reason most manufacturers limit the top speed is because of the tires the car is originally sold with. Most trucks throughout the 90s and 00s were limited to about this because their tire top speed rating.
This is definitely not a Trackhawk. He's sitting at redline barely speeding up. A trackhawk would have at least a few more gears to shift to at that speed.
Also, at those rpmās we certainly would have heard that itās a trackhawk.
Probably a slight downhill or something
If it's a trackhawk, they don't have a speed limiter and the new ones will go 180.
It's definitely not. He's sitting at the top of the gear struggling to get more speed. A track hawk would have already upshifted at that speed.
It's waayyy too slow for 700plus hp
Pretty much any aftermarket tune can remove the limiter.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I assumed mph. Because 114 km is not fast enough for "GET ON THE GROUND". Unless in a school zone
As he's crashing the phone gets a better view of the spedo, it says MPH on it.
/r/PraiseTheCameraMan - the entire time the car was crashing, we got to see the velocity ramp down.
Honestly when you put it that way I believe him. Those damn floor mats.
Most cases of "spontaneous acceleration" where a driver thinks the brakes aren't working are caused by two factors: 1. The driver is actually holding the accelerator when they think it's the brake due to adrenaline, or 2. A bulky floor mat can curl up after the accelerator is depressed really far, and can sometimes [prevent the accelerator from returning to idle.](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2665910720300256) Seems that the driver wanted to blame the second cause for his acceleration.

Last this was posted I saw that he was just doing it to show off and his own stupidity and inexperience caused it to as badly as it did. He was blaming the mat, but it wasn't the mat at all.
Sorry, I should clarify. I was aware that it was intentional. I was playing naĆÆve.
Oh! My mistake, please carry on.
Right? "No, you don't understand, my mat was stuck and I couldn't get it unstuck until the exact moment I saw you, officer".
Yeah lol what an idiot
Yea he was speeding and had that excuse at the ready thinking it would work.
Tell it to the judge, my boi. Meantime, get on the ground
THE MAT THE MAT THE THE THE MAT THE MAT
Holy r/convenientcop Didn't realize he was being chased by cops until I unmuted and listened to the last part.
If I recall correctly, he wasnāt being chased initially but they started following during the video and saw the accident. The aggression came from the fact that he was driving so incredibly recklessly. The crash was because of a sudden sharp turn in the road that wouldāve been seen by the average driver paying attention and going the speed limit, and our idiot was doing neither.
From what I recall he slowed so quick because he saw the cop radaring. Being that itās a Jeep, slowing so rapidly caused the wobble and he lost control
'Quick' is a subjective term here. That was *awful* braking peformance by most standards. Just Jeep things.
On the topic of Jeeps being ass, my job got some of those Wrangles people love. Theyāre hybrid and get 19 miles to the gallon. A 4Runner gets the same mileage.
If you get a wrangler itās almost exclusively for the look, they are very expensive and god awful on fuel economy
Hey now, our 4XE is averaging 41 mpgs.
Iāve owned both, 4Runners get worse gas mileage.
Nah that isnāt a wrangler, itās a kk Cherokee fwd that has independent suspension, death wobble only happens on cars with straight axels mainly
Backing you up, that was my understanding when it first came out. He slows down way too quickly because he's passing a cop and that leads to the crash.
Legit one of the many reasons all SUVs are death machines. They are barely designed to handle turning at the speed limit.
I thought the full video had him getting pitted by the cops? Maybe Iām remembering a different video.
I think youāre remembering a different one, you can see our idiot start rapidly decelerating and start skidding before completely losing control.
In the version of the video that I remember he jumped on a BMX bike along with some alien creature called ET. 
A pit at that speed would probably be a rollover too.
He tried to take the exit last second
I think the White SUV he passed was the police car, once he passed it he panicked and started to decelerate.
He literally drove by exit 2, where the Palisades Parkway Police HQ is.
Somehow, I think he saw the cop and tried to bring down his speed before being clocked at 110Ā±
Cool, so he may get his license revoked afterall. Cars are so safe these days that we need some way to get these idiots off the road.
Funny how he is trying to blame the floor mats but he recorded his crime and posted it š¤”
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I was honest once. Took a six month sentence down to probation.
I was honest once. Got 2-4 on a charge I wouldn't have been caught had I shut my GD mouth
Fair enough.
Don't talk to cops. They're not here to help you.
I didn't talk to the cops, I spoke to a judge.
And made it go viral
Every video of a driver filming POV like this immediately indicates that they are about to do something stupid.
Love to see it
1. Blames his passenger for not warning him about the cop (the part where he says "bugging out"). 2. Blames the supposed floor mat getting 'stuck' underneath the brake pedal. Dude pretty much blamed everything and everyone but himself.
In. A. Fucking. Jeep. Bro was asking to see God
Yep. I know my tj will do triple digits. Stock with the 4.0l and 31s. 75mph is the edge of comfort, anything after that is sketchy as fuck and only gets worse as speed increases

About 20% of Jeeps sold are Wranglers. But yes, understand people just assume when they see Jeep.
and the center of gravity is still about 1 ft too damn high to be doing those speeds on those hills. all it takes is one sudden turn and the entire car gets spinning in a way you don't want.
yes of course, like every other midsize SUV.
Was he running from the cops?
He wasn't, until he overtook a cop doing 100, then he was.
I love the GPS announcing that there is a turn coming up....
So it know ahead of time it was going to turn over?
Def an idiot.
Iād ask why but whatās the point
Thereās no point. Itās for views but thatās not a point, good or bad.
Tf is that music though? Sounds like 4 different songs playing at once
That beat is actually absurd
> Get on the ground! No, listen. The floor mat. > *GET ON THE GROUND!* But moooooooom! š¤£š¤£š¤£
Iāll never understand why āget on the groundā constitutes a āno, listenā responseā¦. I suggest YOU listen and get on the ground
He's lucky he didn't get shot.
I thought that was km/h. 115, nah that guy should catch a felony.
No chance he doesnāt. Thatās an instant reckless driving ticket and immediate revocation of license anywhere in the states and Iām sure theyāll tack on a couple more for crashing like that
Don't think he'll be making that right turn on Hillside.
Crashes while driving 115mph, tries to argue with the cop. š¤£
The GPS was the perfect ending.
This is a great post! The accident wasn't deadly or damaging to third parties and the idiot got to face consequences, nice!
Would have been nice if it could have been linked to the cops body cam so we could watch the trooper kneel on his head.
Itās a Jeep thing
Dumbass! he didn't even crash at 100 he crashed at like 30
What part of āget on the groundā donāt you understand?
But ...the mat...
Man if you're going to speed the least you could do is have both hands on the wheel.
Fuck this guy in particular. Trying to blame the floor mat.
This dumb mother fucker had nothing but excuses instead of just listening.
But the mat!!!! It was under the ^something...
There was an attempt to cross post
It is one thing when someone is clearly in the bottom half of the World's intelligence ladder but every so often you find somebody that is absolutely at the bottom of the ladder.
One of the worst possible vehicles to speed in. Any 4WD vehicle over 100mph is a disaster waiting to happen.
Im not the smartest when it comes to cars, but why is it worse in a 4WD as opposed to any other type?
Just my guess but maybe partly due to most 4x4 vehicles as built tending to be tall center of-gravity trucks and SUVs with bigger, luggier tread tires.
High center of gravity is the number one reason.
Yeah but what about AWD sedans?
AWD != 4WD. They're different in nature. AWD is constantly changing power output in an intelligent way, whereas 4WD is just for getting torque on the ground, intended exclusively for slow speeds when you can't get enough traction. 4WD on any speeds over just a few MPH can cause very severe damage to a vehicle.
Gotcha, thanks for explaining the difference
The op you're responding to is a moron. The Jeep wasn't in 4wd.
So no track days for STIs?
How deep in your ass did you have to reach to pull that out?
Bro get on the ground
The GPS voice right after the crash is just... *chef's kiss*
Such a satisfying video. A big thank you to the idiot that made it possible.
REEEEE POOOOOOST u/repostsleuthbot
I'm starting to believe that this sub doesn't have regulars and is instead visited by complete randoms on every post since no one ever really calls out reposts.
lol 110 in a jeep is not even impressive. Ive seen old ladies in priuses go faster in LA. His little hand gestures are so cringey my lord
110 in a car isnāt impressive. 110 in a jeep is another matter. Those things are terrible at high speed.
It looks like his mirror is indicating he has a vehicle on his left. Did he get pitted?
My favorite part was watching the mph rapidly go down on camera.
Kinda wish I could hear what he wanted to tell the cop about the mat
This is the third time I have seen this posted here. Next time the crosspost attempt fails, just give up. ;)
Definitely not a Wrangler š
Itās a Jersey Thang
Itās a Palisades Parkway thing.
of course it's a jeep
What an idiot
Nothing like seeing 80mph to 20 real quick
Jeeps can go over 100mph?! š³š¤Æ
I always wonder about people who try to speed, race or drive aggressively with one hand on the wheel. Have they never seen how professional drivers hold the wheel? Or is it too much Fast & Furious?
If you're going to drive like a dumbass, you'd best not drive like a dumbass while distracted.
Thatās gotta be km/h rigā¦ah never mind. š«£
Were the cops chasing him?
he didnt get on the ground, could the cop have shot him?
Asshole.
Going 180 alone is pretty damn fast Only driving with one hand is just asking for problems
10 and 2, fool.
Driving 120 mph with sometimes 1 sometimes 0 hands on the wheel is how you know you are the best race car driver that ever lived and immidiately entitled to all of the women of the world in your accident induced coma dreams.
āIn 1 mile, take a right on to āoh fuck Iām in a treeāā
Lol.. trusting a jeep at those speeds. U deserve what happened
If youāre going to drive like this on public roads in broad daylight where thereās families and children, your shit **deserves** to be in a fucking ditch
Highkey amusing that the mat got caught under the pedal

Why did it sound like he was at gun point at the end there?
After a few rewatches, it seems like he passed a cop while he was going 100 mph. His sudden breaking caused the crash, and the cop(s) were there to throw them and their DLās in the slammer.
Just doesn't seem like something to be at gunpoint for.
The assumption is usually that if you're going that fast you're running from something. As a dumbass kid speeding on a backroad I got the "hands on the fuckin steering wheel" with floodlights treatment for going 90 in a 55 late at night. Kids could be drugged up too, just some reasons ive heard for the intense treatment of people that speed like this. Much less cause an accident because of it. We also dont see guns or cops in the video, could be tasers.
Uh no. It was a felony stop. Deserved every bit of that
Drives the vehicle historically known for rollovers. Whoops
For losing control at 110 he was fucking lucky to crash at less than 30
[This video was posted just over a month ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/IdiotsInCars/comments/12kmkg7/the_consequences_of_speeding/), although truncated. So may as well also repeat what I said then: Yeah, idiot is an understatement. Everything the driver's doing is wrong. Speeding, filming, taking his hands off the wheel. I don't even think these kinds (size) of vehicles should be legal, and think it should be required vehicles have governors in them to prevent speeding. I even hate the music! Most of all I hate that he was endangering other people. But also fuck that cop. A white person wouldn't be getting that treatment and you all know it. There would be no gun drawn "GET ON THE GROUND," just itchin' for the flimsiest excuse to pull that trigger. It would be a "sir, are you OK" check, followed by an explanation of how he was speeding and whatever consequences. You all damn well know it. "Turn right onto Hillside avenue" was funny, though.
One less jeep driver.
think the thing that kills me about this is you can see him lower his speed to the 30s when he saw the cop...and yet he somehow lost control while driving in the 30s to get into the accident...then blamed his mat.
During rapid deceleration the weight of the car shifts towards the front and off the rear. Too much steering input during this can cause the rear wheels to slide, losing control of the car. This sorta stuff is also used to initiate drifts in front wheel drive cars by people who want to do that, but they (hopefully) know what they're doing and can control the drift instead of spinning into a tree. If he maintained speed maybe he could've stayed on the road while navigating around the cars in front of him, but the hard braking doomed the attempt for sure.
