We have a case in my office were there is some question as to why a driver did something in an accident, and I really need to understand it.
The reconstruction has been completed and it appears that one of the cars in this "aggressive driving" scenario lost control during a maneuver wherein he applied the emergency brake on rear wheel drive car (late model Saleen Mustang) at about 80 mph while passing in tight traffic. Can anybody tell me if here is some legit (or illegit for that matter) driving technique which would explain that? Thanks |

Instant oversteer. Flick the wheel right or left and pull up on the E-brake. Not a usual technique on public roads. Used commonly in ice racing and I suspect off-road rally.
I used it at one autocross event. A lone cone to go 360 degrees around. Finally got it just right on the last go around. Pull up the E-brake - rotate around the cone and precisely when you are pointed right, release and pound the accelerator. On a public street? That's just an idiot move. In older cars at least, it would lock the rears and not turn on the brake lights. Causing the car to the rear to have to panic stop. Newer cars might turn the brake lights on if you can even put the E-brake on when moving. My wife's Audi, you cannot. It's electronic. |
