so in other words - if i am hearing correctly - you all agree with me that stupidity and ignorance (besides my exceptions) is what it is really all about ?

speeding is a great place to start. get in your car and take it on the road, any road, and get it up to about twice the posted speed limit. take a ninety degree turn at eighty miles an hour. you will lose control of the vehicle as enertia takes over and rolls the vehicle.
i'm a good driver... you don't understand how someone can "lose" control of their vehicle because you are probably a good driver but their are alot of BAD drivers out there. they lose control.

It could mean many things, like going too fast for conditions, a mechanical failure of some sort, falling asleep at the wheel, OR an animal ,large or small could dart out in front of you, causing you to lose control, OR another driver gets in your personal driving space and does something stupid, causing you to lose control. Driving a vehicle is serious and I wish folks would really not talk on their phones while driving- my husband & I were recently in an accident where a young man on his cell phone ran a stop sign and hit us. No injuries but it totaled our vehicle.

Take your eyes off the road straighten out the kids in the back seat look ahead. OH NO! people stopped in front of you You jamb on the brakes crank the steering wheel a slide ensues wheels drop off the pavement. You just lost control. A skilled driver would know to steer into the slide but mom of 2.6 kids doing eye make-up talking on her cell phone eating a big mac. She is in so little control of the car driving with her knee, after a couple roll overs! Get the idea

I used to live in the snow belt and I still think there is no excuse for "losing control". If you keep you car slow enough and drive appropriately, you can have control on a solid sheet if ice. They mean like they are going around a curve WAY too fast and hit a patch of gravel or something... they claim they "lost control" which they did... they just don't think it is their fault.

Not paying attention and doing something they should be stopping the car to do. Like bending over to pick up the cell phone that is ringing and fell on the floor at the last stop light. Car is barreling at 55 miles and hour down a street and you bend over the steering wheel follows you and now you panic and the car starts going every which way and the weight swinging back and forth makes it even harder to get it back under control.

There are many different type of "losing control" on a vehicle. Most of the times when someone lose control, they're skiding. That means when the tires loses their traction, and the driver dosesn't know what to do in order to control it, he/ she has lose control of it.

Your going to fast around a curve, you put on the brakes, then you spin out of control.
