Oil on the Highway at 95 MPH Video - Metacafe...


He is a good Driver,but he was lucky...

[Niko_Fx]

Damn...

That's luck / good driving / Audi AWD... Nice safe.

[RPower]

It is not a Quattro.

It´s a simple A4 Wagon B5 1.9 TDI FWD

[NSXType-R]

Whoa. That's really scary.

[ScionDriver]

That really could happen to anyone, even at 65-70 that would be bad news!

[fisetdavid26]

Haha the guy said 'quattro' in the song at the same moment

[nopassn]

odd that he was just tooling along with a video camera rolling... also odd that none of the other traffic seemed to have an issue negotiating the oil...

[Sauc3]

In the comments he states he was going to a trackday and therefore had the camera. Also the oil might have been on one lane only, so the car he passed was fine? It was really disconcerting that the car just dropped away so quickly and without notice, there was no revving, no warning of breaking traction, nothing...

Regardless, it was a good piece of driving and lucky he didn't end up worse.

Wow... that could have been a lot worse.

doubly lucky I reckon.
To get it back in control and to NOT have crashed whilst not wearing a seatbelt !!
A perfect example that refutes the whole "I'm a good driver and don't need a belt" I reckon
Lesson everyone ????

[h22a]

great catch, that third correction looked like he was heading straight for the guard rail. top work

That is not true. He wears a seat belt,as you can observe in the video when he needs to take it out in order to exit the car.

Luck was crucial,but there is a lot of experience and skills in his driving.

Here it is the final version of the video with all the details including a slowmotion:

There aint even a farts worth of talent there, thats just dumb luck.

[Zytek_Fan]

Damn lucky to have kept that under control.

interesting video, perhaps knowing his pedal work better would reveal hi skill better.
