Nasty.
Nasty crash, but its hard to tell if the M3 driver actually did anything wrong, he could just have aquaplaned through no fault of his own as it didnt seem like he was travelling massively faster than the other 2 cars in the vid. There was quite a lot of surface water on that road!

Yep. Looks like it was an impatient undertake to me, hence him breaking traction under acceleration as he turned sharply into the outer lane.
As for not stopping, would depend on it being payroll day or not.
IMO 99% of the time it's the drivers fault through either excess speed, lack of attention or poorly maintained tyres, you don't generally aquaplain 'through no fault of your own'.

m3's aquaplane for fun, maybe its because of the width of the tyres?? i think i am a competant driver but i hate being on the motorway when its raining hard in mine as standing water is a nightmare
but yes that bloke in his m3 certainly wasnt driving to the weather or road conditions and has paid an expensive price to learn that lesson and i bet next time he will be alot more carefull in heavy rain.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. In a situation like that all your knowledge f***s off.
When I was 17 I did a similar thing into a bollard, and I'd agree with you. Instant reaction is to slam on the brakes.
Having learnt some car control though, I avoided stuffing it years later when I lost the back end of the clio round a corner in the rain.
Learning to drive should really include some time on a skid pan.

I have booked time in what was called a evasive driving school and skid pan, as I have my classic mini, so no assistance from anything there
