    I wouldn't be surprised if the driver was trying to commit suicide. I can't see any reason in the video for the driver to turn that hard to the left. Never witnessed a steer tire blow. So, not sure if that would cause this.

    Yeah, losing a steer can be very fast.

    That driver did a GREAT job handling that blowout, especially on a right curve with a left steer going out.

    Now that is skill. kept it on the road and it didn't look like he even hit anything. The lesson here is don't be lollygaggin' next to a truck. Either get on it and pass or stay behind.
