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

I don't know much about drifting, but I don't think this is a scenario where you could "drift."
Car #1 trying to get by car #2 who is playing speed games on a crowded 2 lane highway(#2 is speeding up/slowing down to prevent anybody from getting by).

I don't think drifting would fit into that scenario.

Regarding when this happened, it's probably best if I don't get too fact specific.

Yeah, I realized that after the post, sorry. I am nearby so it sounded familiar. But you are quite right. I might think an uninformed passenger might have wanted to put an end to all the fun and games they were being put through.
