A pickup and a SUV are cruising along in the left lane, being generally dickish. I'm behind the SUV, ignoring the stupidity. I work my way over into the exit lane onto Buffalo. The pickup and the SUV rocket over across three lanes. Nice.
Next thing I know, the SUV is slamming to a stop, I'm stopping behind him, and the guy behind me is riding off onto the shoulder. Then I see the back end of the pickup swing out past the right side of the SUV, and then show up on the right side. Oh, cool, he's in an uncontrolled spin...
After the smoke and noises settles and we all drive past him, laughing at the black marks on the road and the brown mark in his pants, I figured out what happened.
When he hit the gentle right curve that merges into the frontage road, he was going too fast. Ya know, feeling cool and all. So just as he's turning, he must've hit the brakes to try to slow down. Big mistake - he was already off balance and most of the weight was off his back wheels. So that locked the back wheels, and since he was turning already, sent him into a spin.
Great way to show off your company logo - drive like a jerk on the highway then spin out on the offramp. Clever.
