And of course, it was the Hummer's fault right?!!!!




Twin owner needs to be sent back to DMV. LOL

I don't see the problem. with all 200 horses under the hood, it easy to get this car sideways and not even realize it.

Actually, there's a question there. Was a u-turn legal at that intersection? If so, the Hummer driver would be at fault because the Hummer ran a stop sign.

If you have a stop sign and the crossing street does not, the stop sign means you have to wait until traffic is clear before proceeding. If a u-turn was legal at that intersection, that means the FR-S had the right of way. The Hummer failed to yield the right of way to the FR-S and would have been at fault if they had made contact.

Seems counter-intuitive, but it's true. The stop sign is the key. I don't see any signage that would prohibit a u-turn, and u-turns are legal in Florida. So it looks like it was, in fact, the Hummer's fault.

Here's a news story from Florida that explains it:

Good Question: Who has the right of way in a u-turn?

Pretty sure reckless driving, a misdemeanor, trumps any right of way rules in terms of at fault, just like a DUI.

The hummer was stopped at the beginning of the clip though, and I doubt you can predict someone making a u-turn in that manner, so you'd probably just expect a left turn when they didn't slow down to sane u-turn speeds.

He just locked the wheel left and dumped the clutch, I think he was blinded by adrenaline and thought he was the only one on the road...lol or he's just stupid. In this case probably both.

The hummer may have stopped at the stop sign and not expected the FRS would u-turn there the way he did. Also, the hummer stayed in the far lane, the FRS was the one who swung out too far if there was a collision. If this video was available for evidence in the accident, the FRS would definitely be at fault.

You're forgetting the "turned off trac/vsc" part, lol.

Stupid for doing drifts/donuts on public roads, but I'll give some style points on that one
