The only thing I note here is the driver has his hands at 9 and 3, the wheels are slightly counter steered. I don't think he was ready for trouble but I can't say as I was not there.
Poor Z.

I'd love to see what lead up to that crash. I'd be twice as embarrassed after knocking down the fire hydrant.

Heck i was driving home the other day when it was raining and my back end kept wanting to go sideways past 48MPH. I have them Nitto555 on the rear and dont do too well in the rain. Coulda been thier issue too.

DWS for the win. I've got a lot more stability in rain than with the OE tires. Here in FL it rains a LOT.
Guy in video-Although I don't see how he could be going as slow in that video and sliding so fast. Kind of weird. Wish I could see the beginning. |

Wonder why he didn't steer in the direction of the slide, he could have saved himself or at least just jumped the curb but not hit the pole.

It looks like he did turn into the slide toward the end. However, it was too little too late at that point.
