So I'm sitting here, hear the usual tire squeeling from morons taking the corner FAR too fast.. except its raining and he's lost control, hits the gutter RIGHT WHERE I NORMALLY PARK THE FESTIVA !
2nd idiot today to do it.. why dont people slow down ? What if a kid was riding their bike there ? Or someone was about to cross ? Or the old lady next door had a visitor (they park there too) ?
Slow the f*** down, you're not Takumi, this aint a deserted back road..

I nearly got wiped out by some moron in a Suzuki Vitara, taking the corner far too fast, and wide. If I was a few feet further I would have lost my front.
It was a she too.

Over 50 spinouts/crashes in one night when it was raining.

i think i've seen that one.
its to do with the camber of the road through the corner, coz in the version i saw, there were plenty of spinouts on dry road too, and some of them werent even going very fast

theres an s-curve switchback in the hills over in adelaide, on a very busy road, thats concrete, very wet usually, and cambered in the wrong direction. Very bad.

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/badcorner.htmlLooking at that, has that fence been made so it will flex and go straight back into shape? at least three vehicles hit it, and it doesn't seem to be damaged.

that vids pretty funny, but the idiot at the end who keeps on driving f***ing pisses me off. what a hack.
The problem with the majority of drivers on the road, is that they don't know how to handle a car thats slides out. Should be a compulsory part of getting your license, although it may just increase the number of wannabe drifters.
