[OC] Just Florida things

Saw this on my way to get some lab work done this afternoon.

I decided to keep driving for a few reasons:

  1. The driver immediately got out of the vehicle, and I saw nobody else in it. They didn't seem hurt.

  2. The insane maneuvers they made had me thinking drugs were potentially involved.

  3. The vehicle behind me was pulling over.

  4. I can't currently afford rescheduling fees for my appointment; but I did all the accident in.

So this is actually an issue of perspective. You can see they hit the water on the side of the road if you look closely. They lose control and are moving at high speed. After hitting the wall the first time, they are still moving quickly enough that the car maintains momentum backwards and slams into the other wall. It just seems like they weren't moving very fast due to the relatively level plain and the zoom.

Looks like prior to hitting the water they were traveling in the wrong direction direction, so no. This is a driver issue, not water on the road.

Okay so youre saying if you backtrack to 0:07 on the video... That car is going against traffic? Do we have different brains?

It wasn't going against traffic, and it didn't hit a water puddle.

I think something broke on the car: Tie rod or a ball joint, with the ball joint being the most likely culprit.
