Boyd, I didn't even start to read through the threads. I just saw the clip on break.com and put it up here. Damn that was a close call.

Hard to understand how he could be good enough to make that zig zag around oncoming traffic, but bad enough that he could not stay on his side of the double yellow on what appears to be a fairly unremarkable turn at an unremarkable speed... was there a threat to the right that we can't see?

From the video it looks like he too busy staring at the broken down truck and missed the apex altogether - where you look is where you go.

Er... did he downshift and break traction, or what?

Looks like he downshifted hard, when it went into the lower gear it lost traction, and it looks like the brake light never came on, so its possible he didn't brake at all. He clearly dragged his feet like trying to stop a bicycle doing 3mph.
