Weaving in and out of traffic & lose it - catch loose debris on berm - Rain as we had when it happen - swerve to avoid something (animal, etc.)

There are a number of things that could have contributed.

was driving on a non congested road so no swerving I don't think. Thing is he was probably driving faster then his skill level.

I live not too far from there. Route 18 is not a highway but a rural 45mph road--I think in that stretch it is two lanes on each side. It did rain yesterday afternoon. Although there are accidents, I can't imagine a fatality on that road unless a driver was impaired in some way or engaging in reckless driving. A real shame. Drive safely out there folks!

How unfortunate! It really isn't fair for that 19 year old girl. 26 year old **** on the other hand, should have known better. But still...

His thread has really mad me think, and try to alter my sometimes jerk-*** driving behavior. I get very impatient with left-lane squatters, and by the time I can get past them, I am usually flooring it and doing crazy stuff. Need to chill out. I would hate to accidentally do something like that to some body. Gives me chills just thinking about the possibility.

Very sad......
I thought infinits were pretty survivable tho, even in that kind of crash. This **** scares me cus I drive on a two lane country road 30 miles each day to work. I drive pretty well no crazy ****, never look at my phone etc. Of course when I pass people I go above speed limit. .But around corners etc, there's always a chance that an animal, other driver etc will cause an accident. I even had a little close call during the winter going around a turn...

Still, the G it's a really stable car. My GF drives a TL Type-S and it's still pretty wobbly sometimes. The G accelerates fast so you can pass people quickly, and it corners well. I hardly ever see the traction control light even in bad weather, unless I'm purposefully trying to make it slip...
