Lowrider 2nd Gear February 1, 2011 Share February 1, 2011 judging by the skid marks, he probably tried to drift when exiting the bend but either he didn't know how or was too late to counter-steer... we never know. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowrider 2nd Gear February 2, 2011 Share February 2, 2011 Did anyone notice that there seems to have skid marks for two cars from one of the picture posted ? Just glad that there was no one walking nearby that could have been murdered. The speed limited for Dover Road is 60 km/h, the driver obviously must have been speeding. Finally, (to the driver) - if you want to get killed, please go ahead and do not bring others with you as they are not ready to go yet. those skid marks are from the same car which has been skidding sideways before hitting the curb.

Stock AWD is configured for more understeer rather than oversteer. So unless he fitted a LSD and tweaked the AWD settings, there's no way he can do a drift on the stock setup.

Hermitage 1st Gear February 2, 2011 Share February 2, 2011 subaru is damn solid car, AWD is damn solid. i'm new to the club so i know the difference. problem is that the AWD is so powerful that drivers think they are driving god. Complacency... so yes, subaru cars do cause accident that way. Yeah, I somewhat agree. It's so grippy and poised when pushed hard that you're unaware when you've gone over the limit. Once it breaks traction, the forces involved, coupled with the surprise factor, make it well nigh impossible to accomplish recovery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfy3769 2nd Gear February 2, 2011 Share February 2, 2011 sat morning... either just wake up blur blur or just came back from late friday nite fever... anyway.. sat morning .. speeding... it sure is the driver fault... just lucky he miss the bus stop.. ppl say s--t happen.. but alot of time it is due to driver error.. he/she is the pax behind the wheel.. some incident seem impossible to happen ... but it sure did.. once was in Expo.. just after the carpark enter.. first carpark.. a car mount the island (is that what u call).. and have 3/4 wheel off the ground... look extremely funny.. but it did happen.. btw.. that car was not those powerful version.. some fiat uno that type of car...and the driver not those ah-beng type but nerdy type..

JaydenSTI 1st Gear February 2, 2011 Share February 2, 2011 it is a straight road (about 20m) before the tire tread lines bend, thus cant be traveled at a high speed. the slimmer tire lines seems to be the front wheel to me, mostly over inflated, with the thicker tire lines skid further the front wheel, which also seems to be under inflated. subie recommended tire pressure always high in front low at the back...... it seems to me the driver are to optimistic on, probably, some overtaking maneuver, power out into another lane but overdoing it, thus losing the backend and skid all the way...... also suspect that brake was applied throughout the traction break duration, thus not able to stop..... one shld not apply brake during traction breaking...... i could be wrong, thats my view though.......

Aimnfire 4th Gear February 2, 2011 Share February 2, 2011 (edited) wow, this time round nobody get kills either driver or pedestrian most of the post here are tame but once got fatality all the post here will condemn him chialat2 if normal accident i do believe s--t happen but this accident car flew off from the road and subaru defenders give the excuse the car its the car tyre fault that road is where driver/rider like to test sprint their vehicles as it is straight roa in that case why not sue both the tyre manufactures and subaru for having unsafe rubber on the road Edited February 2, 2011 by Aimnfire ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
