      This is exactly why you shouldn’t film a TikTok while overly emotional and driving.

      I mean, there are plenty of good reasons not to “film a TikTok”, but I’m pretty confident this particular TikTok really highlights one over the rest.

        As someone who has rolled their car, I grabbed the keys from the ignition, the toll pass on the windshield and stepped out of the car to look for my phone.

        It’s a weird reflex but, like, gotta have my phone to call for help.

      That’s becasue it’s ** generated. Just look at the how she uses the steering wheel and how the car respondes. Also how the car flips and that she didn’t use the brakes at all.

        God, I hate this shit. I really don’t think it is. It’s called “losing control” for a reason. The car is no longer responding to the driver input as you would expect. The car rolls over, so it obviously slides sideways. That’s never a steering direction you can input. Is every car roll over AI generated?

    I think anyone who films themselves (or anything really) while driving should get their license permanently revoked

      The 2 things worse than drunk driving, being overly tired and distracted by your phone

        Maybe worse than buzzed driving. Overly tired people are more likely to crash in a ditch than going 110 and causing a head in collision.

    She needed to swing the steering wheel a bit more. I bet that would prevent her from crashing /s

    If your first instinct after a car crash is to react to your stream while still dangling upside down in your seat then you have a detrimental addiction.

    Say what you will, but she steered into the slide like a boss!!! It wasn’t enough, but even F1 drivers spin-out sometimes.

      Okay counter steering, but in a fwd like that you also have to bury the gas to try and pull out of it. Which is counterintuitive. I usually change my driving-mind when racing but I’ve had a few oh shit moments on dirt where I kinda forgot and mid slide remember oh yeah, gas.

    The phone was clearly on a mount. Not like she was interacting with the phone when the accident happened.

    I hate tiktok as much as the next lemmy user, but damn some of the comments in here are unreasonably hostile (not to mention sexist).

      Not a single top level comment is hostile or sexist. I’ve been a blocking spree lately so it’s possible that’s why I don’t see them but I just don’t.

      something i’ve noticed after being on lemmy for a few months is the comments are absolutely worse than reddit’s. nearly every thread i click on, the top comment is someone speculating wildly on something they could have just googled in two seconds. reddit at least sometimes has decent comments at the top, but not lemmy. it’s not making me go back to reddit, but i’ve learned i prefer endless stupid jokes over anger derived from performative stupidity.

    I never get how people driving at medium speeds (for Germany at least) drive that bad that they roll over their car that easy.

    So whats going on here? Is she turning and possibly braking in a way that this happens? Why not hit the brakes hard holding the wheel and taking the hit as would (often) make sense?

      I used to live on a narrow road (you could pass another car but you’d need to squeeze into the bushes a bit) in the country and my kitchen was at the front of the house so I could see the road while I ate breakfast. This backstory makes it sound like I’m about to launch into a recipe, but no. One day before school I saw a car go past at like a walking pace and five seconds later one came down the hill at the same sort of speed but on its roof. It kept sliding for about 50m. I have no idea how they managed to turn it but it was funny as hell. The driver was just looking at me upside down all the time.

      It looks like she is driving an older version SUV. They were notoriously top heavy and easier to roll.

        And a lot of people don’t realize just how domed the average road is to prevent water buildup. There can be significant differential between kerb and the peak of the road depending on speed limit and curve. We’re just used to it.

          Thanks for the answers and yes I think there is a significant difference in the build of the street here and there. This, in addition with the top heavy suv might explain it.

          I even wonder if these were allowed over here as the safety standards are quite different (eg sparing us from the cybertruck).
