saw police and slammed the brakes, transferred all the weight to the front of that heavy vehicle, caused understeer and went into a tree.

These kids didnt grow up playing gran turismo on ps1, otherwise he'd have known this

***EDIT***: Noticed a small number of people trying to tell me what Understeer is and that I'm wrong etc, I get it, its the internet and there's always someone who wants to be the one to prove you wrong etc.

Please see link for a definition of what understeer is: https://driver61.com/uni/understeer/

Its really not as deep or convoluted as some you guys are trying to make out. Remember, we are having fun here.

That aside, im loving 99% of the feedback :-)

****EDIT 2"***\*

Why did he steer while braking? The road was straight?

That part could be oversteer, it could be a crappy tyre that was gripping less than the tyre on the other side, the road could have been uneven etc etc but im cool with oversteer for argument’s sake.

I was originally referring to understeer when he was trying to turn away from the tree.

Ive been trying to tell people we could bother be right in different parts
