What happened? Tacoma lost control on wet roadway, caught on video.

Too much InitialD..

 

Anyone say this is a second gen yet?

 

Yes....definitely a 2nd gen, as the only howling was from the driver not the rear end.

 

Why are you the way that you are?

 

Where I live 98% of the people can’t drive as soon as you spit on the pavement. It’s a sad state in America right now that as soon as you get in your vehicle driving is like 3rd on the list of things that need to be done.

 

2nd gen. No surprise. Even the drivers are inferior

 

Woman driver ?

 

I take that off ramp every day and its pretty sharp. Speed and bad tires could have played a part in that skid. I had a older frontier with BF Goodrich tires that came from the factory. I hardly drove the truck so the tires had lots of meat, just old. I guess the rubber was hard cause i slid like that on the opposite side on-ramp from were this video was taken. Went out and bought new tires that same week.

 

Shit... I would have put my foot in it, done a 360, and kept going like nothing happened.

 

I think its quite simple. The culprit of the loss of traction was tires, and a driver over correction is what put him in the ditch. The truck was not going as fast as some of you make it seem. Ultimately its still 100% the drivers fault unless there are contributing factors like an oil slick on the road from a previous accident or something.

 

Along with so many other things, driving is no longer a treated as a privilege, it's viewed as a right. Our not-so great neighbors in IL looking at discounting traffic violations to poor people.

 

It's a gift.

 

Yeah, just have a "I meant to do that" attitude

 

Pay attention to the rumble strips...there for a reason. Probably has one foot on brake and the other on the gas. The vehicle's third brake light never came on. Time for a replacement.

 

Thats what I saw as well

 

I would have just dropped a gear and went all "Need for Speed" through the turn.

 

He had the sudden urge to go off-roading.

 

Way too fast and bad driver.
You can't tell me this would have happened if he was going 20mph slower, on the insider lane, not flying on the outer lane at that speed.

 

Drop sand bags in the bed.

 

Speed has never killed anyone, its coming to an abrupt stop that kills people.
