Current one is just "can you turn left, can you turn right, can you maintain speed, can you stop, can you park, good dog, here's your treat. Go have fun'

The dickweed yanked on his E-brake.
I used to have a friend that loved to do this, but never in traffick!!!
I hope she sues him for everything he's worth, and then he gets put in jail for attempted murder! Idiot!

Should get a photo of him from the vid and post it up on the net. If nothing else than to publicly humiliate him.

but WHY??? What reason would he have to do that on a freeway at that point in time?

That's like asking why somebody would pick up a gun and shoot someone else.
Or why they would tie two cats tails together and throw them over a phone line.
Or create a computer virus.
Or....

He was trying to do a power slide into the next lane to look cool.

Some Mexican dude trying to do a ricer move. Not that I think Asians/Chinese are any better at ricer moves, but at least they wouldn't be posers then. Just stupid.

In the video he claims he had to "swerve" to miss something. Since when does swerving involve locking up all four tires and swinging the a$$ end around?

I thik the guy is probably alot younger than he looks, not that that is a excuse, I think he pulled his hand brake to be cool, and lock his brakes, I dont think he ment to take out the bike but if you act like a ARSE whole you end up looking like one and that guy is infamous that video is on every forum, and the girl on the bike is a nice looking girl who happens to be a experianced rider, and allso does track meets, its great she was wearing all the gear too, she seems to be ok and from her posts she didnt seem to get hurt bad.
I think I would of got up and smacked that guy hard, to my helmet and rearanged his face.

I don't think he pulled the handbrake. That usually doesn't cause the brakelights to come on. I suspect he had a poorly maintained brake system that locked the rear wheels, while the front wheels kept rolling. That can have the same effect as pulling the handbrake. Also, as I was watching the video yesterday, it seemed to me that the right rear locked before the left rear. More bad brakes.

Rear tires generally do lock up before the fronts, even if you stomp on the brakes. Weight pitches forward, unloading the rear suspension and thus lowering the traction the rear tires have.

I'm going to look again and see what I think of the video.

(edit) He turned before locking up any wheels. I say he wanted to put on his own "Fast and Furious" show and blew it.
