I say he locked his wheels. I think he lost grip while swerving to the right, then tried to counter steer, but then mistakenly slammed on the brakes while turning the steering to the right. You see his break lights go on right before he swerves hard to the left. The wheels probably locked then and then he spun out. Looks wet too.

What a stupid civic. However, we should be glad that he only has a civic, if 100 horsepower is more than he can handle, think of the catastrophe when he gets a real sports car [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

d00d, he was lucky there was no oncoming traffic, his tires must have been bald as shiat cause theres no way that you can countersteer and lose control in a FWD car like he did with decent tread on the tires. and he looked like he was changing lanes and at the last minute noticed a car in that lane, and he did over countersteer to avoid it,looks like a common case of moron rice boy driving.

He hehe I also enjoy the "F**king Idiot" comment at the very end, sums it up very well.

Oh $hit!!!!! [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] The driver deserves that for being stupid and trying to race. Whoever it is is fortunate that no one else was involved.

Yeah, seen it. Still amazed at how a dumb *** could loose control of a FWD car at about 40 MPH like that.

I don't think he was racing, IMO. It's just a case of losing control when he tried to switch lanes. If he was racing and that happened, it would be worse. I mean, when racing, you're usually faster than that....

lol
allow a canadian to answer this one

if you observe, the median he plundered over was actually covered with snow... the road does look wet, it probably was wet before nightfall, but that is for sure black ice. I see cars losing control like that all winter, I lost control in my old car once and ended up in a ditch. real easy to do esp without ABS brakes.
