Hmm.. military trained? I'd think he would have fought that slide instead of slamming the brakes and squealing like a girl. Just sayin.

Spend more on a real car with real tires and less on a dash cam.

Are dash cams becoming common in the US now?

He saw the party in the ditch and he wanted to join in.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

If this is the same thing as a Honda Jazz in Australia, they're not shabby for safety. Monocoque construction, ESP and lots of airbags.

I CALL SHENANIGANS! These are prone to heavy understeer.
I am going to guess he had the front sway bar disconnected or a 25mm rear sway bar installed with high tire pressures in the rear and possibly had the ABS disabled. The stability control may be crap but in stock form a professional driver probably couldnt do this if he TRIED.

If it was aquaplaning, wouldn't that make it a bit hard for the ESC (Honda call it VSA I think) to sort out the spin?

Ok, I'm sorry.. who exactly counted the number of rolls? You can't tell from the video, it cuts out at around four. And I really doubt the driver was counting while it was happening.

And, I guess that state doesn't believe in guard-rails ?

Chances are he went cheap on his tires or they were worn out - or both.

I test drove a Honda Fit when my brother was looking to buy a car. Great cheap little car for city driving, but like a Smart car it doesn't really belong elsewhere.
