Lotus Elise rear-ended (inside cam) 

Sure,only issue is that she used her handbrake which could cause her car to swerve outta control...i dont think u ever been in an accident urself if u think this is the correct way of coming to a stop

@Jeremy pretty sure she lost brakes, thats why she pulled the e-brake. i dont think you ever been in an accident yourself if you think rolling into the car in front is the best way to stop

@@kainoa3078 actuallý best way to stop after an accident is to let ur car rollout on the sidestrip or grasstrip,incase ur leaking fuel/oil it will not immediately engulf ur car and give u time to get out safely...offcourse if u only talk about stuff u read in a magazine without ever suffering thru such an event urself u dont know the REAL dangers of a crash,nomatter at what speed u drive...also she lost her brakes bcuz her seat got thrown back as i read her husband stated,not bcuz u lose brakes after being rear-ended...u truelly a special kind of stupid if u think u can lose full brake fluid pressure in an instant when hit,goes to show how uneducated u are yet still spouting utter bs u read in ur cosmo magazine🤣

@Danbu Hsma u cant...there r only 2 ways to lose immediate braking power,1 is by having ur engine stall on older cars which will mess up the abs sensor thus no input to brakes is given...nr2 is by having both ur brake lines broken DURING heavy load which can cause ur car to spew out braking fluid in a rapid manner tho that would have to be a big break in the lines lol...this woman didnt get hit hard enough to snap those lines and neither did her car stall out thus the braking abs sensor still works until she comes to a deadstop and her engine cuts out...there are 0 other ways off immediately cutting ur brakepower,even snapping all brakelines will take over 10mins for the system to fully run empty and lose all hydraulic pressure in order to engage said brakes...maybe u once had a car without brakes but that would mean u driven it awhile with ruptured braking fluid lines or u got hit so hard both ur lines snapped and u still pressed the pedal hard in which case u will not be able to calmly pull ur handbrake as the force of the hit alone would render u unconscious...cars got 2 ways of providing braking power,1 is with older cars that use low pressure from ur engine to engage the hydraulics and the 2nd is with newer cars in electric relay.both still give u some braking power if ur rear ended without stalling,even if ur lines got busted u can still come to a relatively fast stop so dont try to be a keyboard warrior like 99percent of the peeps here and actually do ur homework on combustion engines and their relativity towards stopping power

@@Jeremy-ff7gv but your statement didn't applied to this video... There is only guard rail and an open left side road which is there is another people on using those road... I would prefer braking on one lane since the accident happen only on one lane.. It's rainy and cold why would you go to another lane just to cause more dmge to other innocent people..

And always seeing rear mirror 👍🏼

She was expecting that

Yep

Lol until somebody insurance claims your ass😆

That’s what I’m saying bruh that is the most calm women ever the most she did was let out a sigh

She's got a really good adrenaline response. I bet shit was slow motion, whole situation lasted minutes in her head. I'm so glad when I hydroplaned and wrecked I didn't freak out either. Did not handle as well as her, though :C

Oooooooh! Looking again, she saw it all coming too. She braced but not too hard, was ready to cover everything she needed to. That's good stuff right there.

How would getting rear ended damage your brakes? It's not like the rear axle was ripped off.

@@TheBod76 I don't know, but why would she use only the e-brake to stop? It is weird.

The brakes didn't go out, the impact pushed the seat back and made it harder for my wife to brake.

If you leave a proper amount of space between you and the nearest vehicle that is almost an impossibility anyhow.

​@@velzun8075 She was crashed from behind, meaning she was pushed forward. There could be a vehicle in front of her and she is accelerating right into it.

​@@JackMaslovCZLiveThat's what the footbrake is for. The handbrake is almost useless when moving forward

@@waldolemmer the impact moved her seat backwards so she wasn't able to apply 100% brake pressure. she was smart to go for the handbrake to compensate

@@waldolemmer You better not miss a single detail if you bring yourself up to be a keyboard instructor. It can become embarrassing quickly if you do so.

@@Poppinlong or maybe her feet got stuck, she wasn't pressing the clutch, that's too much to the left. Btw, I meant to say "Your" not "Tour" xd

Long, you take yourself waaaaaaay too seriously.

A jagged broken rear axle, hub shearing, alloy wheel breaking, and any other number of sudden knife-edged shards could *easily* cut a brake line and cause an instant catastrophic loss of brake pressure and fluid. As for the "I'd never buy a car that does that" idiocy, similar events have happened in the highest form of motorsport, F1, in the past several years. It's not an automobile's fault or design fault when there is a sidden unintended massive impact to the rear of a vehicle, it's simple *PHYSICS* , and until the day that manufacturers make 100% unbreakable parts yet still manage to safely disipate g-forces to the occupant, it will happen again and again.

@@gavinvalentino6002 the cars in competitions like F1 are not regular cars, hell, most of them are just some lightweight carcass slapped onto the chassis, they don't need to be long lasting and comfortable like regular cars

Those pink belts gives you faster response time

Haha true. She’s passionate about her car

A pink 5 point harness. Not just any seat belt. She's ready.

I have that seat belt but it's a green version

With the matching jacket.

American SUV driver vs average British Lotus Enjoyer

Don’t forget recording the whole thing

As an American, I'll tell yall: Driving here can really suck and its more common than it should be. Mfs don't even wanna shift their vehicles anymore, and need a million noises to let them know they're drifting out of their lane. Think I'm some pissed off old man? I'm 21 lol.

In America people drive really fast like 80 on a 65 mph

🤣

But decided to pull on a HANDBRAKE because she’s an imbecile. Good luck driving with her champ

i would too let her ride me cowboy style

Looks like all mid engine car have bad habit on trying to kill their owner.

@Daniel Faraday so long as they put it on their grave, "mid engine was worth it."

Doesn’t sound like a “great car” with that many problems but ok

I guess i've been recomended this video because of you 😅. Your videos are great, ngl

It wasn't a brake failure, the impact pushed the seat back quite a distance which made it harder to brake normally (look at the seat at 1 second and then 10 seconds). I've never had an oil leak either, maybe that's a VX issue? But yeah, little cars like these are more vulnerable on the road, you do need to keep a constant vigilance for others who may not have seen you.

Her seat slid back so she couldn’t quite reach it enough

Hmm. Guess if you have an electronic ebrake you’re screwed.

@@sonacphotos The road is little bit wet so its still quite dangerous to fully "brake", she managed it very well turn stick to neutral(even tho its already turn by accident) and keep controlling the car once it got hit

@@fahriherlangga7607 that's not neutral that's 2nd or 4th probably 4th

Being relaxed in this situation means break ur own neck. Need to be in muscle tension all the time while you being hit by other car

but I would have accelerated to try to avoid

I would like to see a minute longer video before it happened

Ditto tonight.

And made sure the gear was in neutral

In such situations you don't act consciously. It is pure reflex. Your brain switches into automatic reaction mode and uses your experience to survive. Efficiency is based on experience. After it happens, you yourself are amazed too how you save the situation so fast.

@@Incognito-vc9wj nope the impact knocked the gear into 4th

She didn't reach the brakes her seat broke, you should probably read the comments section

@@stefanie_m466 Nah her husband posted multiple times that the seat broke and she couldn't reach the pedal.

The worst? I'd rather see it a mile away and be able to prepare like she did, than be unaware of what's comming and be in complete shock after the impact.

@@mateuszkrupa1024 It seems like what @stufoo meant is how helpless it can feel to see an unavoidable crash coming, despite being able to prepare for an impact. Nonetheless, I completely agree it's better to be able to brace for it.

@@mateuszkrupa1024 cars safety systems are designed to best protect your body in a limp state as if you were unaware of the impact coming. Being aware and tensed up usually results in more broken bones and damage internal organs. This is per the IIHS BTW not me.

I keep my eyes glued to the rear-view when coming to an abrupt stop. Most cars catch on, but the best you can do is watch them slow down enough to stop, or watch them not be able to stop in time. This was one of those times they couldnt slow down quick enough so she just watched it happen. I assume thats what the original comment was about

@@matrinezkevin11492 from where do you get your information?? Wikipedia?

She's a woman bro

I think it's even more interesting no ody is pointing out she has a 5 point harness and not just some random seat belt

@@SupernovaSpence well, nobody is pointing out that the 5 point harness can kill you if you don’t have a roll cage and HANS

@@Deriko31 well, I think in the circumstances that would kill you with a 5 point harness, youre just about as likely to die without the 5 point harness anyways. I mean, I don't have the statistics but if you consider the scenarios of needing a roll cage, you'd be dead either way by being crushed and if you would've needed a hans, you'd probably still die anyways. But she probably still has an airbag so it's hard to say (with the Hans scenario anywho).

She has a matching racing harness

Thank you very much!

@@rexdex75 You're welcome! I recognize a great driver when I see one, and she shows it!

Why Is she wearing that?

@@jamescollier3 It replaces the seat belt. Every racing vehicle has one, it is by far way safer than a normal seat belt, but only if installed correctly, as you can see in this clip. She barely moved at all, whereas using a normal seat belt you'd probably slide a little bit.

@@matthicks1545 oh thanks. I thought she was driving a regular truck on the street. Makes sense now.... yeah, you're right. She barely moved. Cool

@@matthicks1545 a normal seatbelt would have provided the same restraint as that 5 point at that speed. theres a reason normal seatbelts are in all cars, its because they work at normal car speeds. not saying 4, 5 or 6 point harnesses arent safer. just at those speeds it doesnt matter

@@The_Cat_Authority If you're referring to the speed of both vehicles then sure I guess, but if she was stopped completely or moving very slowly and the car that hit her was going 60mph (~100km/h), the harness absolutely would've made a difference.

Indeed, same colour.

And gloves

And hair...

and the seats colour.

​@@apscoradiales She def drives better than you bro.

a small rear collision wouldn't take the brakes out, also she took her sweet time to get out the vehicle on a live road.

​@sirlordbabish3873 she should stay in the vehicle. And it most definitely had brake failure.

@@thewhomphlew Most definitely? in the summary there was no mention whatsoever of break failure she also let go of the steering wheel lol

Mutual respect, thanks for your kind comments 😎

Really Ill have to try that one ... Not sure why you let go of the wheel and use both hands to pull up the hand brake guess thats a new technique I must try

Oh lowe what are you doing here haha

What tf is a little kid ASMR doing here?

huh...?!

@@andyk192 Ya hes screwed especially if he has minimum insurance

Lotus Elise is my favorite car. The clams are massive. I'm on a few forums about Elises and Exiges. Its likely the repair woulda cost more than the car. She likely got 40-80 grand (depending on the year of the car) and then she probably bought the car back for 10 grand with salvage title. Guarantee you she wishes this accident didnt happen. Guarantee you she got fucked in the end. One of the only issues with this beautiful and ultra reliable car.... the god damn clams cost a fortune. I hope to one day own one and daily drive it though.

@@jamesparker223 You're a fair bit off with those numbers, the claim was about £6k and the car is fully repaired and still being used 8 years later 👍

@@rexdex75 You fixed a rear end at that speed for just 15ish grand us? What year is it? I was looking on forums where just the rear clam would be 10k.

@@jamesparker223 2002 K Series. The repair required a replacement rear clam (from a salvage Elise), exhaust system, heat shield, new lights and a new drivers seat & harness. Total just over £6k including prep and paintwork. UK parts are easier to source than in the US I guess.

Because of those people SUVs get a bad name

@@Has7DCT true, I had that experience on my last day off, was in the left turn only lane, was a couple seconds from the white line, the light had been yellow for a second or two, so I made a judgement call and used my breaks (decent stopping speed, didn't lurch) lady behind throws her arms up like I'm the inconvenience. After turning she went about 65 in a 50 🤦‍♀️

Yup. Generally screams OMG like 30 to 40 times in a 60 second period....

With lots of tears.

She’s a car enthusiast. Good driver. You can tell by the brand of the baby seat too lol

checking your rear view mirror regularly(which you are supposed to do if you are slowing behind slowing/stopping traffic) can give you a few extra seconds to react..

Thank you for your kind words 🙂

yah, if you check the rear view mirrror, as you should, you know if the car behind you is going too fast, and is likely to hit you, have had many close instances where this has almost happened to me..

When approaching stopped traffic leave a gap between you and the car in front and keep an eye on your rear view mirror. Common sense

What even happened? What hit her? I am so confused, it looked to me that it had something to do with that truck, but I'm not sure

Mee to!! Thinking.. is she like driving toooo slow ? Beacuse the truck is like driving so fast! Like she knew she was driving to slow after a (race maby) so the car behinde "obvioulsy driving to fast " never tought she was driving that slow speed ? So confused! Looks like she driving so slow doh. If a big as truck just passing her that easly? .. just a tought..

​@@akkelicious you high?

The body panels on those cars are considerably more expensive to repair than a Toyota engine.

People underestimate how strong sports/supercars can be in a crash, despite their size. Newer ones are pretty meticulously built, making for pretty impressive crash tests. The Chevy Camaro 1LE has 5 stars so you'll be ok. But the Hyundai Elantra? Had the highest death rate in America at one point.

It's suspicious to me

Pay close attention to the first second of the video. She's already watching her rear view mirror waiting for the driver that is tailgating her to take his eyes off the road probably looked over his shoulder at the big truck. Then she doesn't slam on the brakes she downshifted to third and suddenly decelerated you can see this out the driver window she's traveling at a pace slower than the truck but that pace slows down much more drastically after she downshifts. She did not apply the brakes notice her right leg did not move. Also the distance and speed that she traveled after being hit suggests she did not suddenly slow down to avoid hitting something nor was she paying attention forward enough to see and react to something in front of her. She was driving in the rearview mirror

And how do you know she wasn't slowing for the car in front ?

Ok, if you must 😂

Ha, me too! Suspect she won't let me have one though no matter how nicely I ask 😂 thank you for your nice comments 👍

@@rexdex75 Ahh man, maybe one day 😂 And you are welcome

Prepared like a champion~

I'm not sure.... stopping in the live lane is a recipe for disaster. Move to the side or the shoulder, don't undo your seat belt / get out on a busy road. Of course, easier said than done, she did well not to panic. But just because you've crashed, doesn't mean stop in the middle of the road. Everyone else is still coming towards you! Move to the side to safety if you can.

When the hell did I make this comment?!

I'm just not sure why she didn't hit the gas, maybe shock or something

@@sizcorsaxx If you look at the footage from outside (in the description) you can see that if she had tried that she probably would have ended up rear ending a car that was in front of her.

She's slowing down beacause of the traffic. In this case the other car driver is stupid and not paying attention.

The truck didn't move as its lane was free flowing. You can see this on the outside cam linked in the description👍

Racing drivers do it when bracing for impact but that’s probably due to the fact the steering wheel could injure them as they crash but eh maybe she super woke or something

Ask a traumatologist. When drivers break their wrists/arms during a crash it's generally due to tension on the steering wheel. No hands, or relaxed grip is best to avoid these injuries. That's what racing drivers do the same. I would even go so far to say that she may be a pro driver after seeing her overall reaction. Wrists, ankles, knees and elbows are the worst for bone rebuilds, lots of tiny, interconnected, bones in there.
