How not to drive on a twisty road...
...especially when it's your daddy's BMW!
And, if you must do it, don't strap your GoPro camera to the side of the car!

Not much to do with understeer, he doesnt even turn the wheel!
Just badly signposted blind bends and driver stupidity!

Understeer? He doesn't attempt to steer at all just goes straight on.

So much stupidity. . .
Obviously did not drive the road ONCE before hand, missed the apex (or even turn), didnt even seem to brake. I hope daddy was pi$$ed.
Ha ha, dumb yank.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

It looks like his car left the road before the point where he started turning, as in he was 'flying'

Yes - I don't think his front wheels were on the road on the final corner - you can see the thump as it lands.
It was obvious that he was going to crash from the way he was driving prior to the accident... it was more a case of 'when?'
A triumph of enthusiasm/hormones/stupidity* over ability!

I agree he wasn't steering much but at 35s he was steering left and it just went straight on

Funny though

Hope it wasn't just his old man who was pissed, I hope a judge through a large heavy book at him, then beat him round the head with it.
I remember seeing a link on a BMW forum to a "youth" who kept on going on about "his" M5 and what mods he could do to it to
make it quicker.
Later he, along with a few friends wound up dead cos he went of the end of a "runway" into woods.

Not even an attempt to save it.... Maybe he was waiting for GameOver: Replay? To appear on the windscreen?

I thought that was a perfect demonstration of BMWs new device to pull your hood up for you lol
Hopefully daddy will just be glad he walked away from that one.

Repairing a rock-hopping BMW M3: $10,000.
Look on daddy's face when he sees his son's handiwork: Priceless!
