Bad drivers in Denver, Colorado--3. Impatient to turn left and losing control.

[Sunny]

20140627-Out of control truck.
Truck made a left turn at 00:07 seconds and immediately lost control trying to beat oncoming traffic.
He corrected but stupid still had foot on the gas pedal that made him lose control again at 00:11 seconds.
I almost thought he's coming straight at me.

O yeah he sure had his foot firmly planted on the gas pedal, and this is not optimal if you want to straiten things out, not least in a big ass RWD truck.

I think its a safe bet that we will eventually learn the hard way

PS. have to admit that i did like to put my Mitsubishi truck sideways at walking speed in Winter, i have seen many eyes grow to 2 x size when the huge truck came sideways towards them only to take the turn in perfect rally driver style.

Snow on the ground and that truck in RWD + a roundabout was allso good fun, allways took a couple of laps when the lack of other traffic allowed for it.
