Au contraire, this is excellent content!

First thoughs after a horrible accident is for the phone...

It's mirrored so you don't think it's America.

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

errr well I mean you gotta call for a tow

This is exactly why you shouldn’t film a TikTok while driving

ftfy - no real emotions to see here, except the ones when shit starts to go down.

while overly emotional and driving

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

The thing you would need to call for emergency help?

This. This so much.

hit me baby one more time

She wasn't emotional. She was playing while driving.

I mean, you asked.

And then instead of deleting this video in (very earned) shame, she still posted that shit.

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.

And first thing she does is reach for her phone

She must have been going at least 70. Look at how fast that house whizzes by

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

Gotta get dat vid posted of course, priorities 🌈

AFTER you upload

She was just chaotically rotating, IMO.

How do you know it was FWD? Do you have encyclopedic knowledge of vehicle interiors by make/model or something?

More likely because somebody wanted to evade copyright filters or something like that, but sure, could be obfuscating for the sake of obfuscating too.

It looks like a car. Possibly a Accord or something like that. Most of them are all fwd I believe.

I mean it was a pretty crazy video I'd keep it

I would never post it, but I'd keep it

Well yeah, DUH! ;-)

idk, looked intentional, but panicked. she was even looking into it. I have 100% seen similar vids and the person just grips the wheel, or throws up their hands. at least an attempt was made.

As for the precipitating factors, she's a moron.

It's likely an LLM description of the video. Much slop repost content lately has been weirdly titled in ways that a human wouldn't write.

I mean she's clearly an idiot and in the wrong, but that's a pretty hard b.

but that's a pretty hard b.

I should repeat: she could have killed somebody.

And all for tiktok. She's a stupid bitch.

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).

She Britta’d it.

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.

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.

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

It's definitely an SUV/crossover/wagon. The rear window is almost vertical.

Station wagon maybe? They got that suv look but with a car soul. Whatever it was, def does look fwd.

And good job pointing that out, I had missed the angle of the back window.

I dunno. If engaging content is your goal, this one had me hooked from beginning to end. I want to see more.

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.

Not sexist at all...

Just looked again and don't see it. Like I said I've blocked a lot of assholes.

It's been a common thing on this platform for a long time that there will be like 10 comments and someone will say that all the comments are horrible based on one of them being not great.

You shouldn't talk in absolutes like that about top level comments when you know you've taken steps that specifically hide content from your view. You can't talk authoritatively in that situation.

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.

It can take a long time, sometimes several hours, for comments to synchronize across instances because of the way federation works. Not everyone has the same view of comments based on where they are coming from and where a comment originated.

For a long time

Years ago this was a thing when my blocklist was like 5 long. Either you haven't been here long or haven't paid attention to this phenomenon like I have. Is it really an absolute if I provide a clear caveat that I might just not be seeing this?

That might be the explanation sometimes but more commonly people read one thing they don't like and get mad that it's not shouted down.
