Wipe out

**FUNKED1** · 07-30-2003 10:38 PM

That's just about the worst driving I've ever seen.

Bust...that car is sooooo totalled.

Old vid...

jerk the wheel + braking = wipe out...

glad that Chevy didn't hit him...other wise it could've been worse. I think that's a 4-cyclinder Accord btw. Only see exhaust on the right side of the car.

The accident doesn't look THAT bad.. not as bad as the SRT-4 in the other post anyways.. but damn.. that really does suck.

Mad drifting skillz.

Obviously the genius didn't see the car beside him but...how do you spin out like that in a FWD car?

it looks like they were going kinda fast, around 50 maybe. i've seen stuff like that on the freeway. sad

If you hit the brakes and jek the wheel at that speed the weight of the car will shift to the front wheels and the chances that the back end will step out are a great deal higher. It looks as if this is what happened to the driver of the Honda.

I've never managed to do that...guess that's a good thing.

Well it depends a great deal on your break bias setup. My Tacoma had a tendency to be a bit hard to control under hard breaking...especially on the dirt (drums in the back and 13" discs in the front!!!)

I wouldn't laugh at the poor guy for wiping out. I am glad no one was hurt. I would laugh at how embarrassed he must feel loosing all his cool factor like that! Kinda like stubbling down a flight of stairs because you were scoping some chicks (personal experience)

Wheres the big aluminum spoiler when you need it?

Being that I was in a wreck a couple hours ago, I feel bad for the guy. But, then again his car isn't totaled.

How are you doing? Hopefully nothing broken on the body.

My guess is that probably he/she had the suspension super stiff in the rear (rear sway bar and upper strut brace). That will make the car oversteer big time if you lift off the throttle and turn the wheel.
