Another day, another driving incident. In a video that recently made its rounds on the interweb, a FD Mazda RX-7 is seen gunning it, being chased by what looks like a Proton Satria GTI. Both cars can be seen using the entire width of the road to take the left-hander.

Halfway through the corner, you can see the RX-7's tail start to step out and go into oversteer. Again, it seems like the driver has accelerated out of the bend too early, applying too much throttle (since I can't possibly comment on the RX-7's tyre condition nor the road surface at the time). It goes without saying that one needs to be more delicate on the throttle with a RWD car.

By now, the driver is merely applying maximum brakes and hanging on, in hopes that the car would stop as soon as possible. Fortunately, the driver of the Satria GTI managed to avoid the spinning RX-7 in time, thus avoiding a potentially tearful ending.

Remember, folks, drive safe. I get that we all wanna 'release tension' every now and then, but always understand the limits of your vehicle, and your skill level. Moreover, there are numerous other cars minding their own business on the roads too. Wouldn't be nice to put them in harm's way now, would it?

Watch the full video below. And please don't mind the Fast & Furious soundtrack.
