No exaggerations. Everything you see is real. That's how fast

do something completely stupid.
I've never locked up my front wheel before.

A ) He should have veered to the right hand side of the lane

Re-run the video and look at the blur of the power poles and scenery,
that should give an indication of how fast he was going....as in not
