Looks like a recent Civic Coupe to me. Why'd he spin? Looks like the old combo of a fair amount of rear roll stiffness, lifting and braking at the wrong time while flailing at the wheel, and driver generally lacking any form of a clue.

Now he probably needs a new set of bling-blings, a body kit and an alignment... and underwear.

Notice how he brakes while turning. That's probably what made him loose it.

I believe that video is about 3 years old. But I'm not judging or flaming, because a good technical explanation of what was done wrong can always be beneficial to others

I personally think they should not worry about things like graduated drivers licenses and other restrictions like they have here in Michigan now, but instead add accident avoidance into standard drivers training. Just a day of rapid lane changes, braking drills, etc, so that young drivers are less likely to panic when a bad situation arises. When/if I ever have kids, they will get this training when it comes time for them to get behind the wheel. If the person in the video had had this type of training, the incident could well have been avoided.

this is a useless thread on this forum. take it to kills. the driver is an idiot, he got shocked by the presence of the car next to him and did all the wrong things. nothing to be learned here.

and yeah, its been posted here years ago.
