Aww... he didn't want the embarassment from driving like a complete idiot in heavy traffic.


I can actually say I am glad it happened to him. There might be a possibility that he learned his lesson and is a more mature driver these days.

 

There are other way's to tone a driver down

I would say that the driver of that car is VERY, VERY lucky the car didn't careen in front of the semi

The driver may have been stupid, made a huge mistake, but I would never wish something like that on someone

 

Actually there aren't other ways to tone a driver down. Nothing works but a wake-up call like that guy had. How many times do we warn new drivers about the s2000, yet there is a thread posted every week about a wrecked s2000.

 

It's called "education"

The occupant's in that car could have died. Kinda defeats the purpose of a wakeup call.

This is something that could happen to anyone, myself included. I have the utmost respect for my car, what it is capable of, and the road, but I am not invincable. I am not exempt from the unthinkable. I suppose this could never, never happen to you

 

In my teenager days, I used to drive like an idiot, swerving around in traffic and driving fast on public roads. But I had an accident one day that scared the shit out of me. From then on I rarely speed, especially on crowded freeways or push the handling on any turns.


NO ONE ever changes their driving habits until an accident happens. Deny it all you want, but it's the truth. We can warn new drivers all we want about keeping it on the track, but it goes in one ear and out the other.


Of course... without kids speeding and acting like dumbasses, I would be out of a job.

 

I agree as i mentioned up top that hopefully a lesson learned.

I woudlnt WISH this one someone, but it may be good that it happened.

I learned the hardway and i'm somewhat grateful I did. You never know how hard it hurts until youve been bit, no matter what people tell you.

 

Then why is it that I still keep




I will never change. I will have a passion for racing until my dying day. I have recieved over 30 citations from the time I was 14 years old. I have been in a few minor incidents including going over a 45 foot drop off in March of 1986 at about 35-40 mph.

What is a life long passion for racing? It's called the racing fever. Either a person has a passion for racing, or a person does NOT have a passion for racing. Plain and simple.

I go for semi-spirited...ok, full spirited drives out in the country in the early morning hours. I love driving my car at Sears Point raceway. I have the utmost respect for my car, it capabilities and the road. It is this respect that keep's the shiny side of my car up...and maybe a little bit of luck.

Hey man, I wont be speeding on your beat Officer Fumanchu

 

This does not include my F Mazda days. I have been backwards at 120 mph in T1 at Sears. I have been either off or had a close call in turn's 2, 3A, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and T12.

 

Doing that on a racetrack is one thing, but doing it in traffic like Darkcrow was doing is very f'ing stupid. He's lucky it didn't kill an innocent bystander.

Guessing this will be locked soon...

 

I think he was trying to drift, BUT... obviously, he's not ready to do that on public.
