Accident by Macoya lights

[TRAE]

i swear people does see rain falling and feel the car is still in all control

[eliteauto]

damn!! I nearly bought 1100 once turned it down because of the lack of availability of body parts

A yaris ryte?

no a Corona

[redmanjp]

streetbeastINC...stop sounding like an ass nah. Do you know the circumstances that caused the crash, or are you just assuming that the evo was speeding cus its an evo??

the driver said he hydroplaned- doesn't that usually happen above a certain speed? in any case he should be driving slower on wet roads

[Aaron 2NR]

^ do some research before making such statements

There is no precise equation to determine the speed at which a vehicle will hydroplane. Existing efforts have derived rules of thumb from empirical testing. In general, cars hydroplane at speeds above 45 MPH (72 km/h), where water ponds to a depth of at least 1/10 of an inch (2,5 mm) over a distance of 30 feet (9 meters) or more.

Hold on, I just viewed the news online regarding the smashup... is this for real?

Honestly... Glad everyone ok, but you can't tell me you picked up a skid, applied for brakes and hydroplaned... and dunno about other people talking about speeding? REALLY?

Picked up a skid and mashed brakes... sounds a bit "off" but:

That's a GSR; it has Brembos and that also means it has ABS... unless it isn't working I can't see how it DIDN'T stop if he was driving LEGAL speed limit...

Seriously:

So the car picks up a skid... fine. But how does one who supposedly claims indirectly he wasn't speeding NOT SLOW DOWN at a traffic light with cars stopped? Where would one have to start slowing down from speed limit 80 to not run into and cause the exensive damage to that Toyota?

He could own a Lamborghini for all I care... that was dumb driving on his part and dumber excuse... especially if that camera was up and running at the time.

Thats the first thing that I thought of.

How could ABS not stop this car if he was driving within the legal limit?

ABS usually stops the CS2 at approx 15ft @100k

Hydroplane would not of been a problem if he was not speeding.

[X_Factor]

if he was really using toyo R888 that would hydroplane like abitch!

when i passed the accident, police didnt arrive as yet...so lets say it happened about 15-30mins before...
prior to that it rained bucket a drop in the area so the amount of water on the surface of the road would have been more than usual

so probably excessive amt of water on surface, those specific tires, speeding & that corner = result happened

[Stephon.]

lol @ how much excuses people were making for him (just because he's known) before even after he was on the news, until a mod came in and said something sensible.

He never say wha speed allyuh stop jumpin to conclusions na! a car cud hydroplane @ 40 km/h inno

Freal! you don't have to be going that fast to hydroplane...lots of factors involved.

I was being sarcastic btw, he was obviously doing sheit.

I wonder how different this thread would have been if no one knew the driver of the EVO.

[eliteauto]

^^^much different, the flames in here would have rivaled a BK Whopper ad

i was going to say that bout the r888s.... but i think if the evo was wrong, there's a good change that he broke one of my three rules:

1. know the driver
2. know the car
3. know the environment (road conditions etc)

the bes brakes, tyres, and wing aint help hamy this morning in the hungaro. wet road and he still spin out.

doesn't that usually happen above a certain speed?

Bro all due respect while I understand your point people all will have an opinion.

The "for what" isn't hard to answer: That corona could have been carrying someone dear to you; your wife, daughter or somebody important. If they got injured it wouldn't have been a fight down as I'm sure you'd have dealt with that differently.

but doesnt greater speed increases this risk, intensify the damage and lessens the chance for safe recovery?

ABS usually stops the CS2 at approx 15ft @100k

Hydroplane would not of been a problem if he was not speeding.

with ABS, if all 4 wheels lock up (start to slide in the wet), the ABS system will not read any problems because as far as it is concerned all sensors reading the same wheel rotation so there is no need to engage. same way the silver evo 8 from freeport (the parts place close to st marys junction) slide straight off the highway and up into the air.

if only 1 wheel or even two alone was skating, then ABS would have engaged for the two wheels that the sensor had read as not rotating

[ZeroOne]

He would have to be over 80km for that to happen with or without r888's or *insert whatever tyre brand/model here*
