Well, that kid got a quick lesson in the dangers of driving faster than his skills allow. People in my area like to try similar things on the main boulevards. The only downside is its full of tree's, when they loose control its a mess.

Great find on the video, glad this one lived through the lesson.

idont think the performance grills and pinstripes helped him here

The kid said that he met a "deceptive corner." That corner was there all along...so were the rocks that he met.
Needless to say, this might be one reason to get driving lessons with an 'M' car prior to getting:
1. the 20" tires.
2. $2K in wheels
3. headlight "upgrades"
4. those carbon fiber front lips
5. optional grilles, paint, tinting, etc., etc.

But what do we (older with driving school experiece) know? :dunno:

How not to crash into rocks?

I've driven that road in Phoenix's south mountain park dozens of times it's actually not very difficult. That little twerp just doesn't know how to drive.

Following some of the comments in the original thread, it was a tricky corner due to the rise just before the turn. As he crested the hill, he had no front grip, thus extreme understeer and no ability to turn. He was fortunate that he didn't have enough time to try and compensate and with more steering and end up spinning or even worse rolling.

Natural selection is again defeated by airbags and seatbelts. Kidding aside, he is lucky that he has the opportunity to learn from his mistakes.

Yes, because everyone here is perfect and has never had an accident.

Thus the adage - walk the course before you run the course.

Quite true...as he crested the rise his suspension would have been 'unloaded'...but after looking at the video again, he never attempted to turn the wheel to the left, and simply drove off the road.

i like how he throws his hood on before clutching the sides of his head as if that made any difference

 

[chris328]

oh the hood just fell on his head as he crashed nvm lol
