Active Handling will not rescue one when they defy the laws of Physics or or save one from their own stupidity

I think that the active handling was off. Seeing that if appears that he got loose a few times before the wreck.

New to me.

Yea, like the person driving the C5.

He or she thinks thier A/H will overcome stupidity and lack of driving skills.......

That video is nothing more than a display of not knowing how to drive....

Saw this one before - feel sorry for the guy, but the way he was driving, no surprise he had problems.

Just a little a over steer thats all. Butt puckered and they let off the gas too much, then way too fast on the acceleration. 3-4,000 bucks in that lesson. A/H will not keep someone from running over a tree, will it??

he almost lost it on the turn before that... That should've been a hint to back off

also, crossing the double yellows Why go on a twisty road, and make it straight by using both sides?

The first feedback comment is priceless
A lot of nieve people think just because they pay that kind of money for a car it will handle like a BMW..
NOT! He should have his *** kicked for wrecking that
street racer. If you want to go fast on road courses buy
a BIM.

The problem I have is the danger he presents to the oncoming motorists. Hey he can mess his own car up but don't be hurting the innocent. It just a good thing he only hit a tree.
