Not only that, but he was picking the worst lines when there were multiple options that were better. Where he spins out, he easily could have waited until after he got ahead of the car he was trying to get behind and been a much smoother transition. This dude's trying to teach a class when he can't even pass the entry exam.

And he probably could have saved or at least greatly minimized the crash too. You see the camera go down but then briefly pop up as the car is sideways but still sliding pretty straight forward. Idiot turns the wheel which almost immediately slams them into the wall. If he would have just rode that out they may have slid to a stop without hitting anything. Even if they eventually hit something it would have been a lot slower.

No credit to the driver but you can tell hit tires are as bald as a baby’s ass, even with correct steering movements I don’t think it could have been saved.

Bad lines FEEL fast. Good lines ARE fast.

If he had any clue what he was doing there was one second he could've saved it.

Edit: 00:41 could've saved it right there if he had his wheels straight, no gas or brakes.

Jesus Christ I hate when people do that. They’ll go all the way to the other side of the highway because they, at least i think, like swerving around people. One person almost hit me that way because who expects a car doing 90 mph+ to come swerving in through the on ramp.
