"He was too fast on the roundabout," writes commenter @rekikurdish. "He should slow down."

"Oil patch maybe with no tread on the tires," suggests @knowlesdan90. "Acceleration and ditch."

"The satellite navigation said make a u-turn," jokes @davidleeke.

"He spotted some scrap metal in the bushes," quips @robertwatkins572.

Video viewer @myth_starseed surmises that "he zigged when he should have zagged."

"Rear wheel drive," notes @harryblack613. "It was trying to put down too much power on a wet road."
