I have to agree with DLUX, that wasn't about going too fast that was about having a serious deficit of skills, he was late breaking in a couple of turns.

Tough way to find your limits

It seems like the motorcycle rider was wearing blue jeans, so I don't think it was the cop factor. It seems to me, that he was starting to understeer and saw the motorcycling riding close to the line divider and tried to brake and steer away from the center divide.

I've spun out on back roads, because traction comes back so quick on AWD, I over countersteered. Seems like that's what the guy did too.

bad driver

I like the message at the end fo thd vid: "Not as easy as it looks" Or something like that...

What are they refering to? Walking away from an accident like that or being an idiot and crashing your new STI into a wall of earth.

It's lack of skills! I do push it, but not beyond my limits.
