Why speeding could potentially cost you thousands of dollars (or your car!)

This video is one I just had to upload here to try and get people to not speed on roads. It's terrible and uncool and most people only realise once they're involved in an incident like this.

Special thanks to ebaumsworld.com for the footage.

Why speeding could potentially cost you thousands of dollars (or your car!) or your life!

High performance car with a low performance driver.

That wasn't speed, that was stupid.

RWD fail.

The correct term for this is "power-on oversteer". Basically he hit the gas too hard, the rear end broke loose, and he lost control. This can happen at 20MPH. As other posters have mentioned, speed has nothing to do with this.

why not learning how to drive can cost you your car

Im going to speed just because you dont want me to.

just another corvette driver.

he crashed because he was a moron and veered into the opposite lane not because he was speeding. hes just an idiot. ive driven on roads like this before, staying in your lane is really important when the road curves.

Didn't look like they were going all that fast. It had more to do with oversteer in a high powered rear drive car. Most people never drive a car like this and don't realize it's nearly impossible to do in a front drive car at these low speeds. You could go the same speed or faster in you front drive family car and not crash. It's all about vehicle dynamics and driver experience.

@SixFiveOhARR Well DMV improved from the past, DMV would give a driver license to a 10 year old boy if he asked for one 20 or 30 years ago.
