That Civic is lucky it didn't hit anybody! What happened? Did the guy wanna show off to his girl or something..."Look honey...I can weave to the right and do a 360 on the center divider!"

Someone should take that guys license away permanetly for proving he has no clue how to drive.

I can see he jerked to avoid the car on the right. I think everyone has done that before.

But, how did he lose control so easily?

An bad suspension drop or cut springs?

I knew a guy in high school that did something almost identical.

And it wasn't a problem with the car, that's for sure.

I would never ride with him if I could help it.

Some people just aren't given the gift of car control.

And no matter how many 'performance' mods are done, the car can't handle better than the source.

This video is actually from the Maxima.org OT forum. My source says that the guys taking the video were just cruising the streets at 40mph when they just happened to get this on tape. According to him the cars were NOT street racing.

No idea why the guy swerved though.

That was classic! I've witnessed people lose it in rear wheel drive cars but never in a front wheel drive. He could have lost control because he jamed the gas (thinking it was either the brake or not even realizing he stepped on it) and cut the wheel to hard.

Leason learned...NEVER PANIC!!!

Do you guys know what happened afterwards? Was the car still drivable?...how was the front lip after going over the center divider? Did the front tires pop on impact?

I agree with you guys that this was a legitimate accident. The guy seemed to want to change lanes (although he didnt signal ) and saw the guy in the blind spot and jerked back to avoid the other car. What gets me is that this was done soo easy going at such a slow speed.

He would have really had a bad night if that pickup had t-boned his ass. Probably would have flipped him over onto the passengers side.

My buddy did something similar in high school. It looked almost identical except he spun out and got stuck on the median. He was getting head from his girlfreind. Hahahahhaa. We died laughing.

Two months later at a party his girlfreind had to be taken to the hospital becoz he stuck a beer bottle up her pie at couldn't get it out. We died laughing then, too.
