Patterson Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 After 50 of Jeep warning people to drive safely, people still won't do it. I say let them roll over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I've been in some really amazing sideways situations in my 99 GC on 270 and so far nothing like that has come close to happening. I even had a +60mph trip on the other side of a ramps guard rail (don't ask) completely side ways through half of the ramps length and pulled out of it at about 40 and continued back onto the highway and about my business. One thing I will say is that the rear will go out of control very easily. When I-71 does its "full stop" thing on the way back up to morrow county I've been in those exactly fast left right situations dodging cars. The bad part is you usually have to do a lot of recovering to get the vehicle to get back to straight, it over corrects like mad. In their video, I watched it quite a lot and it seems like the volvo is going considerably slower than the GC. That and they seem to be trying to roll it pretty bad opposed to just trying to steer it left, then right quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow down when you see a traffic jam ahead maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I agree, that would be the best move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 After the gf hit a deer and THEN went off the road I've been trying to drill into her head to never swerve no matter what, just put the brakes to the floor. Yep, it's one of the things they first pound into you when you get your CDL about accident avoidance is not to swerve except in an extreme situation. Otherwise if you manage to "Avoid" the obstacle and crash in the ditch, you can obviously kill yourself doing that or if you survive you get a "Failure to control" ticket.

Avenger1647545502 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 But really... Who cuts the wheel at 50mph and jumps to another lane and back. Thats one of the worst things to do at that speed. Even if a deer was on the freeway, the last thing I would do is yank the wheel and go to another lane. SUV drivers are usually female. Ever see a 30-ish soccer mom react to an unexpected event INTELLIGENTLY? Nope, the response is almost universally scream and swerve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 So, the new name of this thread should be "Every SUV Ever LOL". SUV doesn't handle like a sports car? Get out of here with that kind of thinking. :dumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 SUV doesn't handle like a sports car? I just read the warning on my sun visor and that's pretty much what it says. http://thertpblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/myth-confirmed.jpg It also seems to indicate that airbags will knock an infant's brain clean out of it's socket.
