There are lots of videos on YouTube of dumb people doing the same thing... I can't fathom why would they turn off PSM. At least it would be a small safety net to their stupidity!

+1000. everyone thinks they are Lewis Hamilton or something, i even see first time driver on the track turning off PSM....and you see them ending up in the ditch on their first or second run.....

More like a car control event, maybe a skidpad? Launch control into the skidpad?

Some people put logos of racetracks they have run on their windows, but this guy, perhaps in a premonition, put the direction of travel of this crash run on the side of his car. Coincidence....I think not.

And I thought it was only Camaro drivers that did that!

Not sure what he did but LC works great on my car and goes straight as an arrow.

I think there was some sort of car gathering there the other day and apparently some people couldn’t act responsibly when pulling on and off the busy NJ highways.

Look closely at the road signs in the still image from the YouTube clip. Also notice the red car on the other side of the highway - then look at the second picture I attached - apparently these jokers crashed at nearly the same time.

*note - i dint attach the captions to the second photo.

Couple of years from now new owner will be wondering why the car just is not right either electronics or way it drives. We should post VIN in stupid driver cars to avoid section.
