The skid isn't that big. Compare it to the lines on the road. Perspective's making it look longer

One less **** off the road for a while! Love how people think the public road is their personal race track.

I bet there were skidmarks in his underpants as well after that one!

I remember a truck pulling into the outside lane of a dual carriageway right when I was at the halfway point of overtaking it in my 306 (no ABS). I just hit that middle pedal and kept my boot in while my rear end took chunks out of the drivers seat and my front tyres went floating off as smoke.

Sometimes when the "OH ****" hits you mashing the pedal down is all that goes through your mind.

Maybe its cause I ride motorbikes?

If I mashed the slow down lever, it wouldnt end pretty.

Skidding means coming off.

Slamming on the brakes is very rarely a wise idea. ABS has made people dependant.. not good.

Lack of ABS fail.

Wonder what speed he was doing? (Unlike other posters I'm not gonna guess a number as I don't have a clue!)

lol @ all these people jumping on the "Chav" wagon.

I have a friend who is 45. Drives a Subaru STI with a FMIC showing, tinted windows, and a 5" straight through exhaust. I guess he's a chav?

Although its obvious this guy was speeding and more than likely deseved what happened.

pretty much, yes, but I've driven similar in my time

and are you sure its 5" straight through system or just tail pipe

?

Not chavyv but more reckless idiots, 9/10 people that own cars like this just race them around like idiots, thinking they are an uber drive, while 1/10 of people that own cars that are nodded, actually drive sensible and dont crash

Will Gill · 7 Sep 2011 at 20:06

a 5" tail pipe serves no purpose other than to make a load of noise, so in my book thats chavvy

and yes I had a full nur spec R system which was later mated to a blitz backbox so I can throw stones in my greenhouse

oh and equal and un-equal length ceramic headers, external waste gate and blow off pipe so I definitely know all about loud noises

Nur Spec R

LizardKing · 8 Sep 2011 at 12:41

I'm gonna go with he tried applying his handbrake to slow the car down, i cant fathom how else he could have created those skid marks!

B@Th*nG · 8 Sep 2011 at 14:06

no abs?

OcUK in "rolling out the word 'chav' and applying it to pretty much anything they don't like" shocker? Surely not.

Mad skillz on the crash though, looks like he was going at a fair old pace.
