(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Holy shit batman! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) . Watching that video I am amazed that happened. Not like it was a blind corner (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) . I think the real problem here was he wasn't driving a 914. It's that damn assdragger that is real problem here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Not like it was a blind corner The video clearly shows that he exits the parking lot right there with the truck already parked on the street. He must have known it was there. My best guess is that he looked ahead and the two cars were obscured by the truck and he thought the other lane was clear. From the video it seems like he setting up to pass the truck at speed and loses it when he lifts throttle as soon as he sees the other two cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

From the video it seems like he setting up to pass the truck at speed and loses it when he lifts throttle as soon as he sees the other two cars. This is pretty much spot on. He ASSumed that the other lane was clear and did not see the two cars until it was too late, lifted and lost control. I'm not condoning his willingness to drive this way on a public road in cool weather with slicks and a semi blocking one lane of a two lane road. But, he paid the price for his mistake, a mistake that could have been much worse. I'm sure the reporter will be looking for something for her pain and suffering and police will be issuing a ticket (if they have not already) along with having to repair his favorite car to try and get it ready for Rennsport. |
