From what you can see (which isn't always the whole story) it appears to be down to driver error. The person was simply driving far beyond their capabilities in an inappropriate environment and in worse than ideal conditions These 3 set of circumstances lead to an accident.

Looked very painfull though. Hope all were allright. Unless the car was stolen, in which case fcuk em'

Thrush Im not laughing, sorry if the 'talent' bit hit a nerve.

That clip (a longer version of it) has been on one of those Police Camera Action type videos it must at least 5 years old by now. If I recall corrctly the driver was later found to have excess alcohol in the blood.

could have had a rear tie bar break? I had one break on me on a straight road and it was bloody scary cus no amount of steering in to the slide would correct it. if I'd been driving like a prat it could have been a similer situation

Driving like a twat and lifting off sharply whilst turning in is why it happened IMO.

Lucky no innocent bystander was hurt but driver got what was coming to him as far as I'm concerned. There is a time and a place for driving like that and that wasn't it

Sorry Thrush but thats how it makes me feel. That kind of driving on a public road is indefensible

I remember it from Police Camera Action, I would've said a rear blow-out.
I say this because on Police Camera Action they showed two cop cars in tandem cracking over a ton on a motorway, the following car had a rear blow-out (o/s) and the car started fish-tailing all over before spinning out.

Just a thought...........

jesus, thats pretty bad. Dont think anyone deserves to be in a accident like that (unless it was stolen), but he was going a tad too fast.....

just looked at that vid clip again in slow motion, and it does something strange as it gets past the car the right rear side suddenly dips as if a tyre blows out or the suspension fails on that corner
