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 |

If the car is equipped with ABS, he can bipass at least the ABS to the wheel that is locked by the hand brake.
If for some reason the driver thought of using the lock wheel to help him spin as some one has suggested above, to avoid a front end collision, it could make sense, as it will make you spin then again, for the driver to think of all of the above during a crash, it is hard, unless you have practiced it and it is a muscle reaction, as otherwise, he had to had time to think about it.. thus could have avoided accident? my humble opinion....
