Just1Voice Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 For his body to be thrown 10 meters (over 32 feet), yeah, I'd say he was driving fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaiyen Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Rear tyre is bald, can't see front but probably the same. Suppose he thinks slicks will give more grip ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be argumentative, bald tires actually have better traction on dry roads. The tread is to prevent hydroplaning on wet roads. Either way, this guy's number was up. RIP.
