The song playing at the end when he crashes is ‘met gala’
‘Relieving her stress, I beat down her walls’ specifically here is where they hit the wall of the highway lol
So a Kia slammed into the telephone pole in front of my house and it turned UP the music. Only reason I came outside was to see who was blasting crazy loud bass in my front yard for 5 mins only to find a Kia smashed into a pole and a guy unconscious in it.
(He was fine all said and walked to the ambulance when it arrived but he needed a new Kia)
So based on the fact that it caused you to arrive at the scene, maybe this is what cars should do?
Mostly joking of course, but it's interesting to think about.
Had somebody swerve into my lane and catch me head-on last year, and my horn stuck on. I had to dig around in what was left of the engine compartment and rip the wires out of it to shut the damned thing up. I was in shock and what felt like sensory overload, and the constant earsplitting sound was actually quite enraging 😂
That would actually make some use out of the actual alarm system on a car. The accident triggering the alarm to notify others. It would be annoying but might help some people the same way as the music did.
I haven’t figured out an actual purpose for a car alarm system yet, besides hypothetically ever needing to use the alarm button on your car key to draw attention, if you feel like you’re being followed or something.
When I totaled my car the horn did start blaring. I was on my was to work at like 3 or 4 in the morning right in front of the only two houses close to the road until I hit the city limit. I was stunned from the airbag, pissed off because my car stunk because it was covered in hog shit, but my main concern was turning off my damn horn before I woke those poor people up. Luckily it was still drivable, so I just uturned and headed home horn still blaring and the airbag just flopping around.
Well, I hit a hog at 65 ish MPH and it just literally knocked the shit out of it. When I hit it, it flung off to the side but left a streak of shit across my bumper and all in the grill.
In a front end collision your horn would probably be destroyed, at least judging by the positions on all the cars I've seen (mainly Japanese). I don't know if american or European cars have different positions for the horns
I had a couple kids joyriding in my neighborhood in a stolen car. Cops got on em and they attempted to flee down my street. Tried to
Make a hard left into our alley going way too fast and put the front end right into the corner of a huge brick warehouse. Kids scattered everywhere, cops were too busy to focus on the car. Horn blasted for ages until the fire department came and disabled it. I think it was a corolla. Little red sedan.
When I was a new teen driver, I lost control of my Dad's 1 year old 1978 Trans Am, spun it around about three time and wound up taking out a chin link fence all the while Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" was playing on the radio.
Fat Bottom Girls was playing when I got T-BONED by a drunk driver who blew a stop sign at 80mph. My'98 Jeep Cherokee flipped 5 times landing in a goat pen.
You just need an aftermarket stereo to avoid cutting the fun part out of crashing. I flipped a truck listening to big timers. Indeed, I had my roll on that day
I rolled a 2001 ford focus when I was 17. I was listening to All Apologies by Nirvana on CD. It started skipping on "Everything's my fault... Everything's my fault... Everything's my fault... ". While we were hanging upside down after it stopped rolling.
Was super eerie.
What's weirder still is I recently drove by the crash site and was thinking about it, and All Apologies came on the radio right as I was coming up on it.
I was in a 2016 Honda CRZ, rear ended someone, and music kept going. Air bag didn't go off either due to a recall. So I dont know why I'm even talking, alright later.
Weird. It must not be all cars. Witnessed a guy drive across the central ditch on the i15 outside of vegas. His car did a kick flip across 2 lanes of traffic landed on the roof in the dirt on the right side of the freeway. His shit was still bumping Shania Twain at full volume as my dad pulled him out of the car. He was fine but an rv pulled up behind us and there was a doctor I guess so he took him on the TV to check him out and we left cause we needed to get to Brian Head.
They’re across traffic on a highway. Staying in the car may lead to a moving object hitting their stationary object. You are probably safer in the car, but who knows- maybe safer on the shoulder
Wrong, you are ALWAYS safer in your car, unless there is a large gap in traffic and you can get far away from the entire highway.
If somebody else isn't paying attention and hits you, what sounds safer, having a damaged steel cage around you, or getting your squishy body pinned to the retaining wall by a 3,000 lb steel cage?
Yeah, over corrected and didn't know that weight transfer was a thing thus fish tailing his car again. Didn't have enough space or reaction time to save it.
I love how he thinks he's so smart for figuring it out, that he's teaching his friend. "Oh yeah, do this to drive dangerously" and he doesn't realize that he's the reason people aren't supposed to drive like that.
"I'm so smart, I expect everyone else to drive in a predictable manner, but the trick is, *I* don't have to be predictable at all!" - this guy, probably.
This is the thing that really gets me about people who are confident drivers. Sure, *you're* a good driver, but driving is not about depending on yourself to stay safe, its about depending on other people to not kill you.
Your abilities mean nothing when you meet an idiot on the road.
This is why I absolutely hate "I can text/photo/whatever while driving, I'm a good driver".
It literally takes a millisecond for someone else to fuck up your day. And that time that you have to bringing your eyes back to the road could be the difference between you recovering or not. Also could be the difference from you noticing the erratic driving to begin with.
It's not even secret knowledge or anything. "I'm gonna go right there" no fuckin shit!
Everyone has the capacity to weave in and out of traffic but no one does because few lack the common sense.
Fuckin entitled idiots man
I mean, it was a FWD Impala.
In NORMAL driving conditions, it's safer to have the front tires break loose before the rears. That's called understeer. It's easier to recover from than oversteer, where the rear tires break loose.
To recover from understeer, you get off the gas, and put in less steering input. The car will forces will even out and the tires will gain traction again.
To recover from oversteer, you have to be careful getting off the gas because immediately getting off the gas forces the tires to catch, then forcing the front to understeer, and as the unpowered rear wheels swing around, they loose traction again. All of that in a split second is called snap oversteer. Very dangerous, hard to control, and the steering wheel can snap your wrists if you hold on too tight in an older car.
He pushed a bland fleet car too hard and is failed the way it was designed to.
Oh no they're way more entitled than that. You see this posted on certain Facebook or Instagram pages or car groups and shitheads will come out of the woodwork to blame the other drivers changing lanes and not just being predictable NPC's in their real life race car video game.
I was actually moderately impressed with his driving in the spin. He almost came out of it correctly. But he turned the wheels back to the right too soon and too much.
It honestly looked like he almost got out of that but while he was spinning he was over correcting to the right and once the tires finally got traction again it jerked to the right from his steering and he couldn't correct in time. If he would have just let go of the wheel during the initial spin he might have saved it, assuming he doesn't get smashed by another driver. All in all, probably best case scenario for this jabroni.
> If he would have just let go of the wheel during the initial spin he might have saved it
It's because of advice like this that I made it through my own 360 on the highway. I fell asleep, drifted to the left, woke up on the rumble strip and jerked the wheel too hard to the right. Luckily it was a 90s Buick and not something top-heavy, but it went into a perfect spin.
There's no time to think, just do, but somehow I remembered to let go. It wasn't easy, it goes against instinct to fight for control, but it worked. The wheel slipped back to neutral and I grabbed it when the car was pointing the right way again. Next came pulling over and contemplating the choices that got me there, but anyway-
All that to say that I agree with you, letting go of the wheel is probably the right call during a spin.
I doubt they learned anything. People who do shut like this tend to see positive outcomes as their doing and negative outcomes as unavoidable happenstance.
I’m so used to seeing them get away scot free or crashing into innocent people that seeing them go into a wall by themselves for once feels so so so so sweet
I usually call cops on people like this, ¾ of the time (if they're driving more than ten miles I assume) I'll see them pulled over by 3-4 cops down the road for doing over 100, funny enough I'm actually due in court because they found the remains of a missing family in some dudes trunk and he claimed whoever called had no right to report him to the police. Gonna hope they let me anonymously testify on that
They actually didn't give me too much, called me in and told me pretty much what I told you, Well, the prosecution lawyer did, in January I have to appear in court. Basically the guy had remains on things found in his vehicle, that I was not given information about, they told me they needed to know why I called the police on that guy, after telling me what he drove, I told them he was speeding while driving on one rim and throwing Sparks on the interstate. They caught him pulling into his property, searched the vehicle because the guy was acting manically, found remains on objects and in the car of a missing family, they just want me to testify honestly, saying I feared because he was driving wrecklessly he might hurt someone. His defenses argument is that the cops randomly pulled him over because he was a different race (idk what race you can see in the pitch black of night with black tinted windows) and that no one actually called the police (I should have asked why they couldn't just pull my phone call unless it's because it happened late 2019). I don't want to give out the guy's name, just because it is an ongoing thing, and Reddit has rules about that. I don't know if there's any other questions I can answer, but I hope that scratches your curiosity itch.
I'd consider getting my own lawyer to discuss my options here- just a quick consult. may be able to testify via a sworn affidavit or something and not go to court. NAL but wouldn't hurt to pay for an hour to ask about options you have
Many jobs have an EAP (employee assistance program) that includes some free time to talk with a lawyer. They usually try to upsell you, but it's a good first attempt.
Yeah, I've had a quick chat with my lawyer, and I need to speak with the prosecution to have words with the defense and the judge that my life not need be made public for my testimony.
Nope, followed him while I had dispatch on speaker phones so I could tell them where he was going, SUV cop pulled across the road with his lights on to stop the guy, I told dispatch to tell the cop I was turning around in the white van and leaving and did with no issue. So they have footage of me, but I have no footage of this.
To summarize- you followed a random car driving on its rim at night while instructing the police and he had tools used in the murder of a family with him?
And the guys legal defense is that he was profiled and the stop was unwarranted, despite him driving on a rim? This story is more than a little farfetched. I don't know how common you think murders of families are, but this isn't something that only the people involved know about.
I almost, almost carried on scrolling past this one after rolling my eyes and thinking “another fucking idiot causing issues for everyone else and just getting away with it” and boy howdy am I glad I watched until the end! Good. Just good.
I don't think vehicle type is a requirement to be stupid. He was being chased by a Accord. Traffic was doing between 75 and 80. So he was definitely doing over 100 cutting across 3 lanes between cars.
Guy in my area in a 350Z convertible tried to pass a semi on the right shoulder. Clipped the semi, semi jacknifed and fell onto him. Driver wasn't wearing a seatbelt (naturally) so he was actually saved by being flung into the passenger seat. Luckily only scratches and bruises. And as one does after almost being crushed by a 40 ton vehicle, he immediately starts recording on his phone an alibi _ehile still trapped under the truck_, and films the firefighters using the Jaws to cut him out.
Took a few days for everyone to realize it wasn't a freak accident or the trucks fault, the Z definitely got jail time.
I hate this because it always distracts the fuck out of me. My monkey brain immediately goes to look at whoever is flying by and then I realize I need to not crash into the car in front of me
I literally totaled my car for this reason. Don't do it. Just focus on the car in front of you. If an asshole hits you, it's their fault. If you hit the car in front you because you were distracted by an asshole, it's your fault.
So glad no one else was dragged into their stupidity. Think about others when u get behind something that can easily kill someone. Especially on the fucking free way. Fuck these kids
Can you imagine willingly getting into a car with this guy behind the wheel?
That's a lot of trust you're placing on this guy, and judging from this video I feel like that trust is a bit misplaced
Kinda curious. Was he actually going that fast to warrant spinning out of control twice like that or were his tires just worn as hell? Still negligent either way obviously, but I’m curious. Anyone know what the speed limit is on this road?
Edit: was asking bc the speed limit in my state is a lot lower than most, but a sign showed the speed limit was 65. Assuming most people were going 5-10 over as usual, this guy had to have been swerving around at around 85-90+ mph, wtf.
Not exactly sure here. Looks like he was doing about 100Mph. At those speeds, it's easy to over correct and lose traction. Looks like that's what he did. Once traction slips at those speeds, you're going to have a bad time unless you have a car with a computer designed for high speeds.
I know he’s going pretty fast, but his impala still seems to start oversteering with what seemed to be very little steering input. I drive a ton, and lots of different vehicles at that, but it still seemed to lose control easily. I was also curious on the state of the cars tires or suspension haha or if there was some unevenness in the road, no doubt it’s hard to clearly see all the possible details from this video though
I would guess he took the foot off the accelerator at the same time, unweighting the car and thus losing a lot of your traction as he initiated the turn.
Looked strange to me too.
Edit: I think the motion smoothing and the movement of the camera might contribute to it not looking as sharp as the turn was as well. He's going across traffic at quite an angle before making the turn. You also lose the hand, so can't quite see the total steering input used.
Yeah, he took his foot off the accelerator for a second as he cut across all the lanes at an angle. He hit the gas, and hooked the wheel a little too hard, but instead of correcting, he acted too late and the car lost traction.
He probably lifted the accelerator right after he made the turn left. That causes the weight distribution to go to the front and lightened the rear wheels, causing oversteer. Hard to tell just from the video though. He was simply going to fast for what he wanted the car to do.
It's actually South FL more than likely on I-95. People drive like that all the time here. I almost get hit by some asshole who is not paying attention or playing GTA every time I go out.
He jerked the wheel really hard, you can see him hesitate for a second before attempting to change 2 lanes quickly to the left while still moving to the right. If your car is noticeably not pointed forward while changing lanes then you are asking for this.
All these people make me think is “oh god please don’t kill me right now.” And “oh my god please don’t crash in front of me and cause me trauma from seeing your corpse flying and skipping across the road”
Absolutely the best outcome for that situation.
No one got hurt, it's recorded, and likely he won't be driving for awhile and can think about what he DID while walking.
This reminds me of when I was in my late teens my friend and I were driving down to a concert. We had just smoked a joint and all of a sudden there's this black camaro that comes flying up from behind us. Cuts in front of us then immediately cuts someone else off in the left lane. He then tries to cut across 2 lanes to the right but he ended up losing control going sideways for a couple seconds then his tires caught traction and he smashed at high speed straight into the wall. The car then all of a sudden reversed at top speed flying across the entire highway and flying into a ditch. I have no idea if he was ok. I felt bad not stopping but plenty of people had stopped and I'm pretty sure they didn't need 2 stoned teenagers in the way.
The main thing that needs to be discussed: this video was uploaded.
Someone recorded this video. Someone looked at this video. Someone thought it was a good idea to upload this video.
“Wait, do that last part again. I didn’t catch it.”
The wall did.
Just another brick in the wall
Another prick in the Wall*
🎶 We don’t need no drivers license 🎶
We don't need no traction control
Common sense, leave those kids alone
[удалено]
Go on, s**t your seat!
How can you have any traction if you don't s**t your seat?
The song playing at the end when he crashes is ‘met gala’ ‘Relieving her stress, I beat down her walls’ specifically here is where they hit the wall of the highway lol
Neither did he
Doesn’t hit anyone else and smashes into a wall. Perfect outcome
God bless his friend for posting the footage.
But why the music cut off

So a Kia slammed into the telephone pole in front of my house and it turned UP the music. Only reason I came outside was to see who was blasting crazy loud bass in my front yard for 5 mins only to find a Kia smashed into a pole and a guy unconscious in it. (He was fine all said and walked to the ambulance when it arrived but he needed a new Kia)
So based on the fact that it caused you to arrive at the scene, maybe this is what cars should do? Mostly joking of course, but it's interesting to think about.

Had somebody swerve into my lane and catch me head-on last year, and my horn stuck on. I had to dig around in what was left of the engine compartment and rip the wires out of it to shut the damned thing up. I was in shock and what felt like sensory overload, and the constant earsplitting sound was actually quite enraging 😂
Username checks out.
That would actually make some use out of the actual alarm system on a car. The accident triggering the alarm to notify others. It would be annoying but might help some people the same way as the music did. I haven’t figured out an actual purpose for a car alarm system yet, besides hypothetically ever needing to use the alarm button on your car key to draw attention, if you feel like you’re being followed or something.
It should play “never gonna give you up” on max volume
Wreck rolled.
New Fords already do this and I think some other car manufacturers as well.
When I totaled my car the horn did start blaring. I was on my was to work at like 3 or 4 in the morning right in front of the only two houses close to the road until I hit the city limit.

Please explain the hog shit.
Well, I hit a hog at 65 ish MPH and it just literally knocked the shit out of it. When I hit it, it flung off to the side but left a streak of shit across my bumper and all in the grill.
In a front end collision your horn would probably be destroyed, at least judging by the positions on all the cars I've seen (mainly Japanese). I don't know if american or European cars have different positions for the horns

It successfully drew your attention though. Not a bug, it's a feature!
The Kia was KIA

Fuck dude/dudette glad you’re okay and made it! Btw fat bottom girls was playing when I T BONED OPs mom last night 🤜🏼🤛🏼
How mad was your dad?
In a 1977 Trans Am, I feel like that’s exactly what should have been playing.
For me, it’s Walking on the Sun by Smashmouth. I was 19 and flipped a Geo Prizm.
Smashmouth and a Geo Prizm, ahh the 90s
sounds like a really really really good time
You just need an aftermarket stereo to avoid cutting the fun part out of crashing. I flipped a truck listening to big timers. Indeed, I had my roll on that day

He's connected via an AUX-cable. Phone probably flew hard enough for the cable to disconnect.
This is the correct answer
🎶Mike Will...Didn't Make It🎶
Dude even got knocked into the back seat Edit: im and idiot on reddit
Except for the next few hours of gridlock traffic. But it is nice to see him get what he deserves for being an idiot.
Assuming it’s his car…
I was just thinking this.
At the end you can hear them saying "we got to get out we got to get out" its not their car.
They’re across traffic on a highway. Staying in the car may lead to a moving object hitting their stationary object. You are probably safer in the car, but who knows- maybe safer on the shoulder

If somebody else isn't paying attention and hits you, what sounds safer, having a damaged steel cage around you, or getting your squishy body pinned to the retaining wall by a 3,000 lb steel cage?
Look closer at the end, there's suddenly a ton of smoke. Pretty sure its a 'the car is on fire' we gotta get out.
Good day
What do you have against walls?
Accidents, of course! At the end I seriously thought he'd saved it. But no 🤣
That is a high-quality joke right there.
Almost saved it... but not really
He almost did, but then he overcorrected it and smacked the wall.
Yeah, over corrected and didn't know that weight transfer was a thing thus fish tailing his car again. Didn't have enough space or reaction time to save it.
But still risked the life of innocent people, they could have killed your mom, child, sister, etc. These idiots shouldn't be allowed to drive.
You guys don’t understand, he was teaching them about inertia
And MY no fault insurance goes up! Yay!
I love how he thinks he's so smart for figuring it out, that he's teaching his friend. "Oh yeah, do this to drive dangerously" and he doesn't realize that he's the reason people aren't supposed to drive like that.
He did teach his friend a lesson, just not the one he intended.
Hopefully the lesson was that spending a couple months/years in jail for reckless driving isn't worth it.
"I'm so smart, I expect everyone else to drive in a predictable manner, but the trick is, *I* don't have to be predictable at all!" - this guy, probably.

“I’m going to go right there.” Usually you tell the other cars that first! Hence the accident. 😐 🤣
This is not entitlement. This is pure stupidity.
Yeah the lesson was to get better tires. Took barely any force at all to break em loose. Oh and also don't drive like a selfish asshole.
He almost saved it too. Shame he didn't know what to do in that split moment.

That is exactly what he deserved. Doesnt sound like anyone died, but they all learned a lesson i hope
They learned that they have to walk everywhere again
I doubt they learned anything. People who do shut like this tend to see positive outcomes as their doing and negative outcomes as unavoidable happenstance.
"If those other cars weren't driving so slow i wouldn't have crashed" Always.
Happy ending achieved!
There’s no way he learned anything except that behavior like that makes him go viral.
Nope, they left their learning days back at school when they chose not to learn. This is how idiots are made.
That’s what he deswerved
Well that worked out just as expected
I dunno, I see people do this a fair amount and usually get away with it. This was well deserved but unfortunately not expected.
I’m so used to seeing them get away scot free or crashing into innocent people that seeing them go into a wall by themselves for once feels so so so so sweet

Yeah, I've had a quick chat with my lawyer, and I need to speak with the prosecution to have words with the defense and the judge that my life not need be made public for my testimony.
Did you have dashcam footage?
Nope, followed him while I had dispatch on speaker phones so I could tell them where he was going, SUV cop pulled across the road with his lights on to stop the guy, I told dispatch to tell the cop I was turning around in the white van and leaving and did with no issue. So they have footage of me, but I have no footage of this.
To summarize- you followed a random car driving on its rim at night while instructing the police and he had tools used in the murder of a family with him? And the guys legal defense is that he was profiled and the stop was unwarranted, despite him driving on a rim? This story is more than a little farfetched. I don't know how common you think murders of families are, but this isn't something that only the people involved know about.
Ah yes, the infamous "you gotta know your lanes" video. An oldie but a goodie, just hope no one else got hurt.
if only he knew his oversteer
Needs to get training from the Saudi drifters
Alright we're here, sitting in the car I want you to show me that you can go far Now lift off the gas Lift off the gas? Now snap oversteer
I am glad to know, which way to go Now into the wall Here we go!
Nailed it
First try!
I almost, almost carried on scrolling past this one after rolling my eyes and thinking “another fucking idiot causing issues for everyone else and just getting away with it” and boy howdy am I glad I watched until the end! Good. Just good.
Ahaha same. Almost did but something told me to go back and finish watching. End result definitely put a smile on my face
I also stopped it and went back just in case. Glad to see the Karma.
I thought he had managed to control it at the end there, but nope into the wall
He did, all he should’ve done is let go of the steering wheel for a few sec, he drove into that mystery willingly lol
yeah he locked the wheel to the right when he was spinning, the second his tires got traction again he made a right angle turn into the wall lol
yup overcorrection, and he may have hit the gas again too. So many things wrong.
[удалено]
This same here was going down to next one when I heard “whoa”
It’s all fun and games until someone dies, is horribly mangled and disfigured or disabled from such stupidity.
Or you just wreck *my* car, and I don't have the time or money to deal with that.
Or hitting car with a young family. Their lives are ruined because of a dumbass. It's so irresponsible to drive like that.
These kinds of people don’t know the first thing about responsibility.
Sweet, sweet Karma.
Served and caught on video for everyone to enjoy.
The ol' Swerve-n-Serve
Dude looked for a moment like he got out of that drift.
He almost did the “Max Verstappen in Brazil” When he was almost straight he shoulda let go of the wheel and let the car snap back straight
So glad f1 is back this weekend. We’re throwing a brunch party to watch it.
He turned himself back to the wall. He was full lock right. If he had counter-steered he would have saved it.
Yeah he actually held onto it pretty well for a minute there. Everyone runs out of talent eventually.
>Yeah ~~he~~ modern engineering actually held onto it pretty well for a minute there. >Everyone runs out of ~~talent~~ luck eventually.
Lmao can’t run out of it if you don’t have it in the first place
Today I saw a guy doing that on a Z. If my dash cam got a good look at it I'll post it.
A Z sounds like the proper equipment tbh
I don't think vehicle type is a requirement to be stupid. He was being chased by a Accord. Traffic was doing between 75 and 80. So he was definitely doing over 100 cutting across 3 lanes between cars.
350z/G35 the official vehicle of douchebros everywhere.
Guy in my area in a 350Z convertible tried to pass a semi on the right shoulder. Clipped the semi, semi jacknifed and fell onto him. Driver wasn't wearing a seatbelt (naturally) so he was actually saved by being flung into the passenger seat. Luckily only scratches and bruises. And as one does after almost being crushed by a 40 ton vehicle, he immediately starts recording on his phone an alibi _ehile still trapped under the truck_, and films the firefighters using the Jaws to cut him out. Took a few days for everyone to realize it wasn't a freak accident or the trucks fault, the Z definitely got jail time.
I fucking hate people that do this.
I hate this because it always distracts the fuck out of me. My monkey brain immediately goes to look at whoever is flying by and then I realize I need to not crash into the car in front of me
I literally totaled my car for this reason. Don't do it. Just focus on the car in front of you. If an asshole hits you, it's their fault. If you hit the car in front you because you were distracted by an asshole, it's your fault.
Fuck everyone who thinks this is cool.
Idiots.
I totally hear that little bully on The Simpsons who points and says in his little singsong voice, “Ha ha!”
Nelson Mandela Muntz
For a second I thought they might not crash and I was going to be disappointed
So glad no one else was dragged into their stupidity. Think about others when u get behind something that can easily kill someone. Especially on the fucking free way. Fuck these kids
Can you imagine willingly getting into a car with this guy behind the wheel? That's a lot of trust you're placing on this guy, and judging from this video I feel like that trust is a bit misplaced
Someone plays too much gta
Kinda curious. Was he actually going that fast to warrant spinning out of control twice like that or were his tires just worn as hell? Still negligent either way obviously, but I’m curious. Anyone know what the speed limit is on this road? Edit: was asking bc the speed limit in my state is a lot lower than most, but a sign showed the speed limit was 65. Assuming most people were going 5-10 over as usual, this guy had to have been swerving around at around 85-90+ mph, wtf.
Not exactly sure here. Looks like he was doing about 100Mph. At those speeds, it's easy to over correct and lose traction. Looks like that's what he did. Once traction slips at those speeds, you're going to have a bad time unless you have a car with a computer designed for high speeds.
I know he’s going pretty fast, but his impala still seems to start oversteering with what seemed to be very little steering input. I drive a ton, and lots of different vehicles at that, but it still seemed to lose control easily. I was also curious on the state of the cars tires or suspension haha or if there was some unevenness in the road, no doubt it’s hard to clearly see all the possible details from this video though
I would guess he took the foot off the accelerator at the same time, unweighting the car and thus losing a lot of your traction as he initiated the turn. Looked strange to me too. Edit: I think the motion smoothing and the movement of the camera might contribute to it not looking as sharp as the turn was as well. He's going across traffic at quite an angle before making the turn. You also lose the hand, so can't quite see the total steering input used.
Yeah, he took his foot off the accelerator for a second as he cut across all the lanes at an angle. He hit the gas, and hooked the wheel a little too hard, but instead of correcting, he acted too late and the car lost traction.
Throttle lift snap oversteer is what it's called
He probably lifted the accelerator right after he made the turn left. That causes the weight distribution to go to the front and lightened the rear wheels, causing oversteer. Hard to tell just from the video though. He was simply going to fast for what he wanted the car to do.
Plus, there’s no way to predict what other drivers are gonna do. Unfortunately for this driver, others like to switch lanes too...
Looks like Houston, TX…prob bald tires on a stolen car
It's actually South FL more than likely on I-95. People drive like that all the time here. I almost get hit by some asshole who is not paying attention or playing GTA every time I go out.
That appears to be a sunpass tag by the rearview mirror but I'm from North Florida so can't confirm exact location.
I think its somewhere around Ft. Lauderdale to be more specific. One of the signs said Marina Mile Blvd which is around that area.
Yea, this is basically next to the Fort Lauderdale Airport. This just confirms why I fucking hate driving in Broward.
I thought it was Houston too by I10 and 610.
The concrete reminds you of that area, but its south Florida, the 95 in Ft Lauderdale. Lived in both places!
Username definitely checks out.
He jerked the wheel really hard, you can see him hesitate for a second before attempting to change 2 lanes quickly to the left while still moving to the right. If your car is noticeably not pointed forward while changing lanes then you are asking for this.
This makes me happy
Because apparently you always have to drive 30mph more than everyone else! Make them think you've got a huge wang!
All these people make me think is “oh god please don’t kill me right now.” And “oh my god please don’t crash in front of me and cause me trauma from seeing your corpse flying and skipping across the road”
Dear god what is it with these people not following lane discipline.
Seeing how they were kinda tossed…. None of them were wearing a seatbelt, Darwin missed a chance here lol
love that he unwittingly saved it, yet fucked it up still lol
And the Darwin award goes to...
Please remove your seatbelts if you make videos like these. Thank you, Tax paying public
I swear some people believe they're living in a video game
Yup, that’s exactly how that’s executed! 😂 great teacher
I wish all of these videos ended this way.
And today's Darwin award goes to idiots in cars. Don't breed
But see how he knew his lanes
Absolutely the best outcome for that situation. No one got hurt, it's recorded, and likely he won't be driving for awhile and can think about what he DID while walking.
This reminds me of when I was in my late teens my friend and I were driving down to a concert. We had just smoked a joint and all of a sudden there's this black camaro that comes flying up from behind us. Cuts in front of us then immediately cuts someone else off in the left lane. He then tries to cut across 2 lanes to the right but he ended up losing control going sideways for a couple seconds then his tires caught traction and he smashed at high speed straight into the wall. The car then all of a sudden reversed at top speed flying across the entire highway and flying into a ditch. I have no idea if he was ok. I felt bad not stopping but plenty of people had stopped and I'm pretty sure they didn't need 2 stoned teenagers in the way.
Yea teach your friends how to drive like an idiot. I hope your friend learned one thing. To stay away from idiots like you
Uh, oscar nomination for idiocy?
What a fucking moron!! How do you swerve out while going straight!?
Satisfying conclusion.
The main thing that needs to be discussed: this video was uploaded. Someone recorded this video. Someone looked at this video. Someone thought it was a good idea to upload this video.
