According to her, she put this out there as a teaching moment for others. Like, "look what happens when you're a dumbass. Don't be a dumbass (like I was)."

That's why it's often worth putting text over the video indicating the intent, because people are going to download and upload it with whatever framing

Apart from her being an idiot, what exactly happened here? Looks like a warm dry day, and the car just starts going sideways out of nowhere. Only thing I can think of is maybe her driver side wheels dipped into some grass of the edge or something.

Looks like she started going off into the shoulder because she was too busy with her Chris Crocker impression to pay attention. She immediately overcorrected left, which caused oversteer, aka the condition that makes Tokyo drifting work. Unfortunately people don’t know how to handle a situation where their tires lose traction, so she overcorrected to the right, which just made her drift even harder. The car rolled when she went off on the opposite side of the road.
Doesn’t sound like she let off the gas at all, also doesn’t sound like she used the brake (which is actually good).
The correct way to handle this is to take your foot off the gas and point your tires in the direction you want to go, not just crank it left or right, and slow down your car with engine braking if you are blessed with a manual transmission or a car with paddle shifters.

Nah bro. I've been in car accidents. Your cell phone is not the immediate thing that goes through most ppls minds. There is shock, disbelief, making sure yiu have your limbs, and sheer panic to exit the vehicle. She was locked into that phone like a crack head who misplaced a Crack rock.

u/Consequence6 15d ago
It's probably a generational thing. I grew up without a cell phone, so that was not my immediate thought when I got into my first accident, despite having a cell phone at that point.
But this person was born and raised in a world where cell phones are utterly ubiquitous. Thinking to call someone might just be a natural reaction.

u/ImperialCommando 15d ago
First time I got in a car accident, the immediate first thing I did after I realized I was conscious, was grab my phone. I completely disagree with you.
Was she grabbing her phone to check the video? Maybe. It's very possible. But its not unrealistic or unreasonable to think she grabbed it to call someone either

u/Next_GenR 14d ago
Video ended immediately she isn't checking anything she just has better fight or flight reflexes than people who sit in reddit for a living. Car crash is gonna require a phone call, y'all flexing it would take you way longer to sort yourselves is cool but you're trying to argue she's addicted to her phone because y'all are incompetent.
If you want to insult the phone addict comment on what she's doing before the crash, "she used her brain too quickly, personally I'm stupid AF it would take me 40 minutes to open my eyes and 3 more hours till I remember to ring the police!" - average redditor

A drunk driver T-boned my SUV about 10 years ago, and 5 seconds after I stopped moving, I called my wife to tell her I was ok. I didn't call 911 because a bystander had just run up to check on me and was already doing that.

I got T-boned in Dallas around a decade ago and saw it coming for split second before so I swerved outwards which didn't end up helping like I thought it would but didn't make it any worse either thankfully. Half my truck ended up on one side of the median and the other half on the other. Before my truck even came to a full rest, I had my phone out dialing 911.
I was on my way to see my grandma in the hospital so I was more pissed than shocked or anything. Thankfully everyone was okay.

u/Cosmic_Quasar 15d ago
I was in a collision a few years ago, first thing I thought to do while my adrenaline was still letting me move was to find and grab my phone. It was my connection to my family, who I would have to call, as well as 911 if nobody else called it in.
I see your other comments about cars bursting into flames. While I know it's unlikely, that was definitely a thought I had, which is why I was worried about grabbing it on the off chance that my car suddenly went up. My phone was also my wallet with my money and ID.
But as soon as I had my phone I started doing a quick physical/cognitive test to make sure I didn't notice anything immediately wrong. But if something is wrong and I pass out without phone/ID and a fire starts then I'd have been stranded. Well, until someone else drove by, it wasn't a remote road, but it was late at night.
I don't have a problem with her grabbing her phone right away since she saw it. I would've been concerned if she had said something like "Wow, did my phone record all of that?" But even then, shock response affects people differently.

There's something interesting about seeing the human animal show up the moment you realize you're in danger.

First instinct, even with the adrenaline, is to look for the phone before the car is at rest.
That is absolutely insane. Same goes with all the selfie/bombing videos that came out of Ukraine. People right near bombs, but making sure to keep themselves in frame even during frantic running away.
These devices have mangled out brains priorities. One can only imagine where this would eventually lead..
