Vehicle skids out of control while performing a slalom on highway 15 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
D
Is doing slalom just mean driving like a fucking moron?
L
Yeah looks like he changed lanes too quickly going too fast and over corrected. Could even be torque steer if he gunned it at the wrong time
B
It’d be very surprising if that econobox has enough power to torque steer at highway speeds
L
I have no idea what car it is but, there are some shitty cars that have tons of hp. Idk if you remember srt4 but my buddy had one and it’s basically a neon with 400 hp and that’s only with factory mods. But I agree with you, especially looking at that loose suspension. I just can’t tell what car it is.
T
An SRT4 is not your nornal shitbox. It’s a shitbox, absolutely, but it’s not normal in any regard.
L
For sure. I just mean from the back you’d think it was a shitty car.
B
Looks like a Ford fusion to me. Yeah there’s definitely cars that could do it, I’d be surprised if even srt4s had enough torque to induce torque steer at highway speeds. I’ve only ever driven low power fwd vehicles, so I am comparing the torque steer to loss of traction on the faster rwd vehicles I’ve driven. Even with 400lb ft of torque I’d be hard pressed to break loose in my firebird at those speeds in a straight line unless I had baldest tires or slick road. I think regardless wether or not torque the car torque steered, the driver ran out of brains/talent. (Ps I know torque steer is not from loss of traction, it’s due to inequal length axles physics magic I don’t understand)
L
I actually looked up how torque steer works and I figured it out kinda. I think. The axle being longer means when you turn the wheels the axel is less angled from the natural axis of rotation. Still doesn’t make sense why the differential doesn’t work. But whatever
B
I think this is roll steering at play here
L
Sounds right
L
Only dipshits accelerate pedal to the metal while attempting to pass.

Yes, in French

Always the innocent paying for the choices of utter imbeciles. Disgusting
L
This should lead to causing bodily injury or indirect attempted murder. The car is a licensed killer machine and needs to punish people who mishandles that license.
L
For sure people understand this less and less with every licenced driver.
B
I mean obviously not always
D
It’s insane how far that flipped car slid after.
H
Imagine minding your own business, doing stuff right, then all of a sudden you’re upside down in you car.
A
I was on my way to work one day, going straight down the road at a reasonable speed. Woke up in the ER, spent about a month in the hospital, was finally able to walk about 2 and a half months on. I’m not sure if this people are unaware of the potential consequences or just don’t care
B
Look I’m not victim blaming but you see a maniac behind you and you get the fuck out of the way. And hey in some cases it’s unavoidable, but if you’re just cruising in the passing lane while some bat out of hell is swerving behind you a quarter mile back it’s time to react in some way.

Did slalom bro take off at the end there?

Fucking Décarie Expressway. Terrifying because there’s nowhere to go. My old beater stalled there in the rain when I was very young (pre cellphones) I pulled over so I was only blocking 1/2 the slow lane, too much traffic to safely get out on the drivers side and my passenger doors were inches from the wall. Luckily someone pulled up behind and fearlessly exited their car and got me started again. I drove the surface route for a while afterwards.
T
Honestly, reckless drivers like that should be jailed and suspended from driving for 5 years minimum.
M
No. For life. Nobody with so little awareness should ever be allowed behind the wheel.
H
We don’t have life in prison in Canada
A
I think they were just suggesting banned from driving for life.
H
Thanks hahaha, just realizing how I read that wrong
T
I know you’ve already been corrected about what the person you were replying to you meant, but Canada very much does sentence people to life in prison. They aren’t automatically released after 25 years, but that is when the parole ineligibility period ends, and they have the potential to be released.
Z
l’monde sont fou tabarnak.
K
They had no clue they were about to be totaled.
J
The car that flipped was the innocent driver. The person driving like a moron stopped safely. I wish it were the opposite
0
I dunno about “safely”
J
In comparison to being flipped upside down and launched down the road? I’d say it was pretty safe
0
He just caused an accident. Nothing about that stop was safe lol
J
To clarify, I don’t mean this person safely stopped their car in a proper manner. What I mean is that their car stopped 1. Facing the right direction 2. With all four wheels on the road 3. Without spraying a fountain of sparks 4. With relatively minor damage The other car 1. Is upside down 2. Looked like it was going to explode 3. Is facing several directions 4. Is generally all fucked up It should be fairly obvious that I was not complimenting them on an exemplary stop
B
I was on this road 15 minutes before your timestamp. It’s wild to think that could be you and your family minding your own business when someone flips your vehicle .
N
While doing what?
