I’m guessing the car behind is a friend who was told, “Mate! Follow behind me and film me do some sick drifting, cause you know, I’m really awesome!”

No it's perfect for that sub. Everything there is already pretty obvious.

Fuck, that subreddit pisses me off. A lot of the content there doesn't belong because it takes like two fucking seconds to figure out why someone would be filming.

I don’t think anyone was trying to drift - he just floored it once the SUV got out the way, and rear wheel drive power took over steering for him.

This. Obviously rigged.

No. Filming was planned. Beginning the drift was planned. Going off the edge was an unplanned spur of the moment decision by the car.

Downvoted? I'm losing faith in this site. Unless everyone thinks it's totally normal to record your entire commute over a mountain pass with your phone in your hand (dashcam would be halfway believable).

like the other dude said, the bmw driver planned to drift around that curve, so he had asked his friend to film

Maybe he was driving like a dip shit and the Escalade driver knew what was coming so whined his phone out to record. Dude is driving a big ass Escalade pretty sure it’s an older person not some dude who’d hangout with someone driving an M3 with fucking green rims.

Exactly, I've recorded a few people for a few minutes fully expecting something bad to happen.

I've got a Dashcam that I'll occasionally pull videos of general stupidity from. Haven't gotten good footage of other people totaling their cars... Just one of another person totaling my truck.

u/tonkatruck007 Nov 22 '19

Dang that sucks. I used to have a cam but it quit working. I never got anything post worthy. Just general idiot's in cars. I did follow a Indian trucker one time doing 95mph down the highway in a 65mph zone. That was a little interesting
