yup, you can see the red and blues on the front. the guy is still a tool. he was getting too close to the center line and it was a cop. he over reacted and crashed.
i hope that cop turned around. isn't that a point on your record b/c it was a solo accident?

You play, you pay. No one was hurt, and thats really all that matters. Hopefully the driver learned something!

i think he overcountered as well. he could have not countered and just ridden out the slide.. im sure it would have been fine. he turned too far into slide and when the weight transfered back he got too much sudden oversteer. looks like there was a lot of dust on the road as well.

Chances are, he just got too used to crossing the yellow line all the time that when he did it that last time, there was actually somebody there. Just scared the crap out of him. That is why you never cross that yellow line no matter what. There are places here in NM where you can see for miles around turns and what not and I still never cross the middle line. I dont' want to get into that habit.
