IF your throtle does get stuck, there is a million things you can do to avoid crashing into anything. He admitted being near redline in 3rd gear. The WRX does not make a lot of power under 3000rpm... for him to reach the redline in third gear, which is probably/approx 90mph, would take a long time, even if he started from 40mph. He would have a lot of time to react to it.
I'm convinced that this kid (yes, he's a kid, with history of accidents) has flying thru the neighborhood and lost it.
The rims look fake BTW.
I do agree, the guy was driving too fast and lost it... Then you find tons of excuse for it.
I am glad he didn't kill anyone in the process...
Too fast of a car to drive without good experience... Driving school will save you, that is a good investment.
