No hand-brakes. Drive an non-ABS car, and hit the brakes hard -- weight transfers forward and the rear-tires lock up first.

A car under heavy braking will always get the tail loose like you see here -- this guy didn't have the skills to counter the loose tail and ended up in a 180.

My question is, why'd he slam on the brakes so hard in the 1st place? She says later in her post that the guy claimed someone swerved into her lane. I don't see it...

 

After watching the video a bazillion times, it looks to be a perfect example of someone over-reacting and having ZERO knowledge of how to 'controll' a car. Whats scary, is the number of people driving that posses the same or worse driving knowledge then that individual.

I could rant all day and then some about how we educate drivers in the USA, that is an entire thread/forum of its own

 

it's a good thing that other people were right there to help her. The 1st 2 people that show up are helpful, but the others coming after are annoying, asking the same questions and getting up in her face.

 

Was this in Socal? It looks like the 55 Fwy. Just north of Dyer.

 

No handbrake you can see him hitting the brakes. Anybody else wondering what the rider looks like?
