This kid had no idea what he was doing. He's all over the road. His steering inputs are way too abrupt and he's going too fast for the road. Reminds me alot of a novice motorcycle rider who's very inconsistent with the throttle.
I've done the shifting seat position to get a better sight line on the more technical roads. From my 2 wheel days, i learned to treat the lane lines as a sort of electric fence. You never ever cross them. If you do, you're not in control and/or going too fast or beyond your skill level.
One of the comments in the video mentions he was tense. Had he been more relaxed, the blind corner might not have freaked him out as much and he might have successfully completed it. On the motorbike, being tense will always cause the bike to go wide. Being relaxed is key to not panicking. Lets hope he learned his lesson.
