True - it looks like he did what any inexperienced driver would do: he hit the brakes rather than trying to steer his way out of it.

I didn't even see brake lights... like he just thought he'd spin out and do a donut or some shit...

He apparently felt he was coming in too hot and nailed the brakes after entering the turn, thus upsetting the suspension. Then, on exit, he stomped the gas, thus sliding around since his rear end was already lightened by the previous stomping of the brakes.

Pretty much the same make and model car pulled a similar move a couple of weeks ago here. Except it was people on a side walk instead of Bikes.

I was watching it on a tiny iPhone screen - re-ran it today on my equally tiny laptop screen (damn travel laptops

) and it still looked like he hit the brakes.

Yeah, he nailed the brakes.

1) Pontiac owners club? Fail

2) Photographers thinking they have no effect on people's behavior? Fail

3) Driver fucking up the corner entry, and then trying to "save face" by adding a little slide to his exit? Fail

Most North American made cars in a corner = fail

Of course photographers know that their presence has an effect, on people's behaviour. When I'm shooting candids I have to use a telephoto, to keep having adult racers pose like 12 year old girls.
