IMO there is no place in AX for a "handbrake turn". The guy was reading too many spy novels/movies. There are much better ways to do a 180 deg cone without locking up any tire and retaining control.

QUOTE(TargaToy @ Aug 31 2013, 09:53 PM)  Is it possible this was a downshift error that locked the rears and the p-brake wasnt the actual culprit? Always been one of my leading theories. Car is a manual trans. Unfortunately Ford's black box data apparently doesn't include gear selection or clutch inputs. I'm asking about possible techniques that might explain this because the driver suffered a severe head injury as well, so he can't tell us what happened, and we don't want to get blindsided at trial with some street racer explanation for this that we hadn't considered. |

QUOTE(TargaToy @ Aug 31 2013, 07:53 PM) As a younger and dumber driver, i have on occasion used only the p-brake to scrub off speed without showing brake lights after discovering i had just passed a trooper going a bit fast. But the thumb button was always depressed at the time and i didnt lock up the rears. Is it possible this was a downshift error that locked the rears and the p-brake wasnt the actual culprit? I like this feedback---- I have also have done this in my younger years and have lucky not spin off So- does your driver meet the profile of someone that was trying to burn off speed? Cop around?

has the car been inspected for a failure in the rear differential?
that could have caused the diff to "lock up" spinning the car. |
