Looks like the guy owned up to it pretty good though, other then saying it was "wet" out.

Yeah he admitted to it, but not really owning up to the fact that he's a dumb ass and doesn't know how to drive. He said he stated in his police report it was wet and also in a later post he said he stated in his report that all the people and the cameras were a distraction for him!

If someone wants to try things like this it should be done in a closed enviroment.

What a looser, (he says) all the people were a distraction while he was going over the speed limit, too fast for him to handle his car properly.

He will continue to speed. Hopefully he wont kill someone else in the process next time. If you cant handle it give sell it to someone else who can. Go buy Grandma's car.

To me it's not confirming it! He was driving by the incident after it happened and yeah he had his wipers on, but it doesn't show the road was wet.

Video shows the road was dry. Even if it was wet thats not an excuse to lose control of your car!

I don't think the road is wet, judging from the dust.
I've only been on that road once, at night on a VTX1300 (cruiser)...
pretty hairy!

got to hate those Oh s#!t moments...at least no one got hurt or killed. Good reason that this kind of driving should be done on a closed race course.

Just curious if thats your friends BMW how does he crash due to rain?

If he crashed while it was raining that would be called driving to fast for conditions!

Things were cool until it showed a helmet rolling away in the dirt...that was pretty graphic.
