I agree, sounds like driver error.....Cutting lanes at 90 mph your just asking for something.. A honda isnt a porsche. Doesnt grip the road like your european cars your used to driving around.

Your lucky you didnt kill anyone with that stupid manuver.
Hopefully now you will learn not to drive around like an a$$hole.

 

sounds like u got what u had coming

 

YOu should of never made this thread buddy :P

 

nice avator..lol..

Its like saying....I was taking a 90 degree turn at 90 mph and my car oversteered....why is that??.....

Hopefully this is a learning experience for him.....Glad he's ok.

 

luckily my natural reaction is to get my foot off all the pedals and try to keep it staright.

not slam on the brakes...

 

and to think someone thats been driving all these "foreign sports cars" would know this.

 

I have to agree with you, but only because the car was in a previous wreck. None of us know if the car was rebuilt properly, it could have some issues making it more prone to oversteer (alignment issues, etc).

On the other hand, I can't blame the car for some mechanical issues either as those can be replaced/fixed by the owner before this happens.. that makes it the owners fault as far as I can see (if that was the case here that is, who knows what the actual cause was).

I think to just blame the driver, or the car, without knowing what the condition of the vehicle was and without knowing exactly what happened (for example, an oil spill on the road in the right spot could have caused this, no amount of driving schools will allow you to recover from a no traction situation at 90mph in 10-20 feet) is just as bad as useless bench racing.

Give it a rest and get on with more useful topics IMO.

 

Is your definition of "cutting lanes" the same as his? He could just mean that he was changing lanes at a normal pace. If you are trying to tell me an S2K can't do with a 1968 Caddy can do I'd have to laugh at your driving ability, not his. European cars grip the road? Yeah sure, some of them do. A whole lot of them are no better than economy cars sold here.

He is lucky that no one died, as is any accident "participant", however accusing him of driving around like an a$$hole a) doesn't help anyone (except maybe your fragile ego?) and b) makes you look like an asshole.

Now I'm an asshole too, I'll admit that. But at least I can read and understand that without real details I certainly can't make a judgement about his driving ability based on the fact that he had an accident. The best drivers in the world get into accidents so go tell them how they drive around like assholes.

 

I will agree that his REACTION to what happened was far from ideal

I just disagree that he HAS to be the cause of the incident in the first place based on a complete lack of information.

 

I know this topic is retarted, But when u freak out it happens. I was upset at myself. i dont know where u guyz live but 90mph is only 10mph more then surrounding traffic. The accident occured for a few reasons. One, im not a pro in the art of driving an s2000. obviouslly, but i also believe that there might have been some irregularities in the car. At that speed it couldve been the combination of alignment, incorrect tire pressure, unfixed frame damage. but all excuses aside, i F_cked up. U guyz act like u never ****ed up, never speeded, and have halo's around ur heads.
Its not like this forum has 20 important threads a day, and im wasting space, at least i got u guyz talking. i told my story, thanks for the advice/opinions. The car lost control after i had been going straight for a full second.. thats wierd to me. thats all im saying.
