Default Drifting Loon - I don't belieeeeeeeve it

Maybe I'm just getting old I dunno.

But I'm driving to work this morning in the lovely Wolverhampton morning rush hour traffic and approaching a roundabout on the A449.

It's very busy.

I slow down, stop, then I see a matt black 200sx come hammering up to it from the other direction, no indicators or anything so I pull out and next thing this guy throws it sideways in an attempt to try and 'drift' round the roundabout. I floored it out his way but bare in mind this in a Jeep cherokee auto so there's a 30sec/5min delay.

I thought fair enough, having some fun in his 200sx, perhaps a little wreckless. Then I look in my mirror and he's bombing in for another go, just flooring it in and turning as hard as he can.

In morning rush hour traffic?

I mean WHY? Why go out in rush hour traffic to try your hand at drifting?

Honestly I shit you not. He was just booting it hard as he could

understeer understeer understeer oversteer brake brake wiggle wipers

TBH I was just glad he couldn't do any better because exactly how he was going to see anyone and stop I don't know.

If I see him doing it again I'm going to just drive up his bonnet.
