Just wondering why that happened? Rear tires lose traction? Or just a bad driver?

Looks like a bad driver to me. I saw that coming as he was passing on the right.

Another sure sign...

Notice how the guy that egged him on leaves but does call for the HP. Should be easy to track him down as well.

What, exactly, did he do wrong? Except pull up next to Mr. Passesonright?

And what would you track him down for? Driving in one lane?

Slowing when approaching traffic?

You can see that he accelerates quite a bit for a second or so just after the Crossfire leaves the picture. Watch the speed of the road markings speed up.

So? WHAT DID HE DO?

Ohio Revised Code

4511.251

"...rapidly accelerating from a common starting point to a speed in excess of such prima-facie lawful speeds shall be prima-facie evidence of street racing."

Under Ohio law what the vehicle doing the filming did constitutes street racing.

For those of you who might of thought that was me........it wasn't. My friend Tony lives about 1.5 miles from where that accident happened.
If I had a dollar for every time somebody sped up as soon as they came up on me going down the highway, I could probably buy another Crossfire. The speed limit in the area where they were traveling is 55 mph. just at the point where he started to accelerate it's posted 65 mph.
Can anybody tell what kind of car the photographer was driving?
As for a reason for what happened:
Your honor, as you can see from the video, my client was driving down the road (doing the speed limit) and noticed the posted speed limit increased to 65 mph. Since he was in the designated "passing" lane he knew it was his civic duty to accelerate and move over because cars were beginning to pass him on the right. Upon doing so, his car (a 200?) Crossfire suddenly experienced yet another case of unintentional acceleration. As you see by watching the video that only my clients exceptional driving skills kept him from hitting any of the traffic in front of him. It was only after safely passing them did he finally lose control of his malfunctioning car.
I rest my case.

...and now the video is gone. Somebody probably trying to hide their involvement in a 1st Degree Misdemeanor. Possibly that alleged offender's name is plainly listed on the copyright claim as well.

...just sayin.

Ok. Thank you for that.

Wish we could have seen the speedometer.

The CF driver is still a fool.

There are mirrored copies all over youtube.

Here's one that is working right now.

If this goes away, just go to youtube and search for "chrysler crossfire" and a recent upload date.

Alternatively check the reddit thread and see if anyone has posted/hosted a new mirror: https://www.reddit.com/r/Roadcam/com...rning_commute/
