The BMW driver also hardly brakes - that thing is capable of braking way harder than he did. It hardly even dips the nose. If he hadn't been texting and had actually braked as hard as conditions would allow it would've been a non-event.

I, too, fail to understand the American obsession with diving into the shoulder while half-braking for an emergency.

It seems like they just stopped turning? rear end in a top hat pass aside, that seemed totally doable if they'd actually turned the wheel at all...

No that wasn't "doable".

They were hard to starboard at nearly 60 mph and under-steered into the cliff.

It was never gonna happen and that was the "safest" possible crash they could have had.



"Doable" shouldn't be a consideration on the road. If you're thinking about what's doable in your car you probably drive like a dick. I can only imagine an aggressive and impatient driver thinking like that.

As someone who started street driving in water cooled Volkswagens, I’m very familiar with the concept of understeer. I totally missed the steering wheel icon, I was looking at the lateral G indication and assumed they just stopped steering for some reason.

I also wasn’t suggesting that doable is a street driving consideration, just seemed like one further staggering display of incompetence beyond the nighttime tailgating double yellow line blind corner pass.

Typical SUV CG, which is why they’re all objectively poo poo.
