[Faye] Just seen you guys now. I'm not nervous at all.
[Tory] Storm's coming in.
Forty miles an hour.
Okay.
[Tory] We got some major sway. [Bisi] Oh, some sway?
[Tory] Oh, my God.
All right, now we're gonna try to accelerate.
[Tory] Oh, my God. [Bisi] Oh oh.
[Davis] Oh, my God. [Faye] It's going...
[Faye] It's going, oh, my God.
[all] Oh!
[engine accelerating]
[narrator] Meet the team.
We'll be at work in no time!
This might be the miracle coolant
that everybody's been searching for.
[narrator] With the mechanical expertise...
[Faye] My main concern is structural integrity.
I think this is gonna work.
[narrator] To test all things automotive.
That was beautiful.
[Bisi] The more air we push through,
the more fuel we'll siphon out,
and boom!
[narrator] This is Motor MythBusters.
This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
[narrator] Where science...
meets the streets.
-Tory. -Yes.
-Faye. -Yes.
Something bad happened to me this weekend.
-Really? -[Tory] What happened?
I was towing this Porche
and my trailer started doing, something like this.
-You see that? -[Tory] Your trailer--
-My trailer was doing that. -I'm seeing it.
-Yeah there you go. -So that's
-exactly what happened. -So, your trailer
-started swaying? -Yes.
I started fishtailing
-and it was... -And and then you you went into like pucker
-factor 4. -Yes, you can say that.
You should've been there it was frightening and--
I'm glad I wasn't there.
Luckily, I recovered the vehicle.
-Okay. -Trailer sway can be extremely dangerous
and it looks just like this.
-Camping with my dad. -[Bisi] See.
[Bisi] Going over the lines. [Tory] Oh sh--
[Tory] Look at that. [Tory] Oh, dude!
[Bisi] Oh my goodness, see. [Tory] Oh look at all those people. [exclaiming]
Look at it.
[Bisi] Oh, my God, it's still go-- Oh that's not good.
Well, what's crazy is it didn't flip the vehicle,
-[Bisi] Yeah. -it just flipped the trailer.
[Bisi] But it got me thinking about a myth.
So many things can cause that phenomenon
- of fishtailing and sway. -[Tory] Yup.
It could be the wind.
[Faye] Oh, I have experience with that. I had a Toyota micro minivini,
-So, that would do it. -so, camper.
If we have a vehicle with a much larger
-wheelbase doing the towing, -[Faye] Oh.
you have a less chance
of experiencing that scary effect.
What if somebody loaded the trailer terribly?
-Yes, Tory. -I'm not naming any names, I'm just saying.
-In my infinite wisdom, -What if?
I did something like this. So, I had a rear engine car that I went forward in
so I had all this weight in the back of my trailer.
I had a lot of weight.
[Tory] You notice what's happening? [Bisi] Yes.
-Oh, my God. -Less... Less weight
is on those back wheels and now they're not
-on the road as securely as they should be. -[Bisi] On the road.
I mean, it, it actually is like
forcing the back of the truck up.
[Bisi] Give me some Faye winds
and let's see what happens.
[Tory] Look, that's fishtailing. [Bisi] That scary.
-Oh my goodness -Oh, God!
-Oh, my God. -Oh, my God he's swaying
-I think you'd be having a heart attack right now. -[Bisi] Yes, I would.
[Bisi] This is a serious matter.
Over 50,000 accidents happen annually
based upon this phenomenon.
The myth I want to focus on is this.
If we experience trailer sway on a truck,
can we straighten it out by accelerating?
Isn't that like the exact opposite of what they say?
I'm pretty sure that
the safe thing to do is like, hit the trailer brakes.
[Bisi] You would think that.
[Tory] Let's see what happens when we apply the rear brakes.
[Bisi] You can either apply brakes to your trailer...
-Wow. All right. -We're back straight.
-[Faye] Sturdiness, okay. -Or go faster,
elongating the wheelbase to give us some integrity,
and it will give us the same effect.
So, just power through it?
-Power through it. -If you get, If you start swaying,
if you get fishtailed,
-power through it. -Well, that's the myth.
-All right. -And let's see if that's possible.
Well, it's not the safest solution, but let's see if it works.
I might sit this one out, you guys.
[all laughing]
This is scary and serious.
-[Tory] Yeah. -It sounds like,
I mean, it sounds like the perfect myth.
We could potentially be saving lives.
-[Tory] Oh, so, we just need to do this full scale. -[Bisi] Yes.
All we need is a truck and a trailer.
I'll find a red one.
[narrator] It's an all too common phenomenon.
But is acceleration the answer?
Is Bisi's hypothesis a highway help
or potentially fatal fiction?
[train horn sounds]
[Tory] Oh!
It looks just like your model.
-[Bisi] Isn't that perfect? -It's perfect.
[Tory] We proved with the small scale
[Tory] that we can create that swing. [Bisi] Right
Now we have to see it with the full scale
if we can recreate that same exact fishtailing.
We get this wrong...
Our lives are on the line.
Since you've driven a trailer and had that sway,
I've never experienced that so I'm kind of curious,
but before I step into that truck
I wanna make this thing as safe as possible.
We could put training wheels on this.
I know it sounds ridiculous,
but they use it for highway patrol training.
[Faye] Right now, I'm trying to figure out
how far out we're gonna put this outer wheel,
to keep Tory and Bisi safe while they're out doing,
you know, the dumbest thing ever.
-You like it? -Yeah, yes.
[Faye] I mean, we can even go wider
but I don't wanna get too crazy.
So, what we're thinking right now is potentially,
we could use this bar to bridge the two axles together
to give us our width that we need.
Oh that's [bleep] sweet.
My main concern right now is structural integrity.
But, I'm feeling pretty confident that this is gonna hold.
Have you ever seen, like, such ugly huge welds before in your life?
But doesn't have to be pretty, it's just gotta work.
It's like an actual axel basically,
-just for stability. -[Tory] Yeah.
It's just there in case the truck starts getting a little crazy,
it'll just keep it on the ground.
Now, the other thing-- I wanna put a roll cage in there.
[Bisi] So this is the halo
of our entire roll cage system.
[Tory] Because if this thing does roll
whoever's driving is gonna have a bad day.
Ta da!
-If perfect is what you want, -Yes.
then I guess that's what we got here.
[Bisi] It is extremely important to improve
the structural integrity of the truck.
Oh fork!
Here's a fork.
Above and beyond that, the driver should
probably have some proper safety devices on,
like a helmet and proper harness.
[Tory] We definitely need to make this safe.
-Yeah, so we don't die. -[Bisi] Yeah.
So, we have a proper main hoop here,
we have the arm going back at a right angle.
We have a harness bar and kidney bars too.
-[Tory] Yeah, this ought to... -This...This is really good.
What could possibly go wrong?
-[Bisi] I'm crashing this. -[Tory] Oh, yes.
-Oh -Be a gentleman, hop in.
Cars are not designed to sit on their roof.
Of course. I'm very confident that this can withstand
a decent multiple rollover incident.
Yeah, it's gonna be glorious.
Yeah.
[Faye] Whee!
It's like leg day in the chop
[Faye] I think this is gonna work.
The training wheels are looking awesome.
[Faye] I'm feeling good about it.
So we could give this thing a test.
Absolutely, I can't wait.
[exclaims]
Ah!
We are here in an airfield
for a very important myth.
Can a truck towing a trailer at speed
experience sway and that sway is taken away by accelerating?
Now, to ensure its sway,
we have four barrels of water distributed
unsafely on the back of our rig.
[Tory] Look at how horribly... [Bisi] So--
[Tory] we've loaded that trailer. [Bisi] Yes.
[Faye] Perfect, perfect.
Well, good thing we're out here,
there's not a lot to crash into
except airplanes,
-[Faye] Aside from these airplanes, yeah. -really expensive airplanes.
All right, let's get the training wheels on and see if we get thing swaying.
Yeah, it sounds good.
[Faye] Excellent.
[Faye] We have affectionately decided to call this truck Big Red.
Now we get up to speed,
which on the first run will be an easy 40 mph,
then we'll ramp it up.
So, when we get this trailer to rash around,
which is what we're planning on...
[Tory] Do you have the other nut?
[Bisi] I'm right here.
Those wheels will keep us flat on the ground.
They're stabilizing wheels, not training wheels.
[Bisi] Now, if you remember from our experiment earlier on,
to initiate sway, we wanna move as much weight as possible to the rear.
And we're gonna use water.
And each drum weighs 467.5 pounds,
and it's working because 10% to 12% of the weight of the trailer
should exist on that hitch.
But, now with all of this weight on the rear,
we're not experiencing that.
The back of the truck is now jacked up.
As a matter of fact, we're already losing some adhesion to rear tires.
So, I hope Tory is ready for this
'cause it's gonna be a scary ride.
[narrator] With the trailer loaded for a catastrophe,
the question is,
at what speed will this specific rig be susceptible to fishtailing?
Just so you know, this is not
-how you load a trailer. -Yeah.
[narrator] The plan is to build up slowly
until they find that sway sweet spot.
And then, for the myth,
try and straighten it up by accelerating.
-You ready to do this? -I'm ready.
It was nice knowing you.
Here we go.
Good luck, be careful you guys.
[Tory] We're up to 30 mph.
40 mph.
How does our load look?
Uh, it looks uneven and weird.
[Faye] and, uh, you're...
[Tory] Wow.
We can definitely feel the barrels.
We're doing 42 mph.
[Tory] Oh, my God.
[Faye laughs] Getting a little nervous.
-[Tory] How did it feel? -[Bisi] Weird.
[Tory] Yeah? [Bisi] It felt like that we're in... not feels planted.
Okay, let's go again.
Accelerating to target velocity 50 mph.
[Bisi] 40 mph.
50 mph.
[both exclaiming]
[Tory] Oh, my God. [Faye] Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
All right, now we're gonna try to accelerate
out of the sway.
-[Tory] Okay. -Okay, hurry.
-It's still swaying. -Oh, my God.
[Bisi] I need more power.
[exclaiming]
[Tory] Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Holy crap.
That trailer was out of control.
So, it looked like it was side to side for like quite a while.
[Bisi] I was flooring it and it wouldn't stop swaying.
[Tory] We got the car going up to 50 mph
and then, all of a sudden it was swaying pretty aggressive
and it was doing its own thing at that point.
I was wondering if you guys thought
we should go again?
I can do 70.
[Tory] You're nuts.
All right, make it a good one, you guys.
All right, this is the last trailer sway test, here we go.
[Tory] All right, we're up to 50 mph.
Oh, my God. All right, there it goes, there it goes.
All right, now try to accelerate out.
He's accelerating now.
-Oh! -Whoa! What the hell?
Abandon ship.
[Bisi exclaiming] Yeah!
[Tory] That trailer was going side to side.
[Bisi] I heard it screech and then, blam!
[all exclaiming]
And the truck felt light.
[Tory] You don't know what's going on.
[Bisi] And then it was like bye bye.
Think about it, the weight coupled with the violence of the sway...
-Yeah it's just all about weight, it's just... -I mean something has to give.
-[Bisi] Something has to give. -It's just leveraging that
[Tory] Whole arc back. [Bisi] Absolutely.
[Tory] Yeah, well, that was cool.
[Bisi] I tried to accelerate out of it.
[Tory] And it did not work.
If the myth is true...
We gotta get them to go faster to see if we can straighten things out.
Yeah.
[Tory] We might have to do some kind of remote system
because there's no way any of us should be in
-the truck. -I agree, that was absolutely terrifying.
-Yeah. -But the stabilizing wheels gave me some confidence
but I don't wanna do that again.
I was just thinking about how I can survive.
You should've seen his eyes, he was just like,
Oh, my God this is the most sway I have ever had.
-You guys ready to get out of here? -Oh yeah.
Hey, wait a second you guys.
What about our trailer?
[laughing]
[narrator] The team couldn't conclude the myth.
Because Big Red didn't have the power to accelerate fast enough
once the sway started.
But they're all set for take two
with this trio of takeaways.
-It's still swaying. -Oh, my God.
[narrator] Load distribution is crucial.
Big Red doesn't have what it takes to punch it out.
I need more power.
[narrator] And with more power, out go the training wheels
and in comes a remote controlled drive system.
And if Big Red's revs are ramped up,
the trailer should be camped up.
Wow.
What do you guys think?
This is perfect for the large scale.
Yeah, I know. I mean, no one is gonna
to have their feelings hurt if we destroy it, you know.
Even though it's hideous,
-it would do the job. This will work. -[Faye] I know.
-Yeah. -I'm gonna head to the antique store
and like, you know, just deck it out.
-Can we check it out? -Yeah, of course, you can.
Wow, this is actually a really great find.
But how are we gonna get this thing to sway?
[Bisi] Oh God, the smell.
[both laughing]
[mimicking retching]
[Tory] What if our weight started here
at the front of the trailer.
If we build some kind of a track system
with a cart, we put the weight on the cart
and then as we start driving, slowly ratchet it back to the end of the trailer.
[Tory] It's a simple system, a wedge and trolley on tracks.
-It's like a roller-coaster. -Yup.
[Tory] But it will help in a couple of ways.
This is the starting position that we want
all the way closer to the truck
and that'll push down the rear wheels
more torque, we get up to speed faster.
But then as we're driving
-we're gonna let out the winch and this is gonna have -Yeah.
2,000 pounds of water in barrels
and as we get closer to the back of the trailer,
hopefully we will see
-this trailer just start whipping around like crazy. -Yeah.
Because we just screwed up the recommended tongue weight. Tell him, Bisi.
This device known as the tongue,
extremely important when towing.
You have the hitch receiver.
You have your mechanism that has a ball that allows you to
attach your trailer to your truck.
Now, 10% to 12% of all the weight should go on the tongue.
Now, push the weight backwards and everything moves up.
Your adhesion goes away.
We're gonna have little or no tongue weight here.
Definitely don't do that at home.
Okay, so after towing that small trailer,
there is no way I feel comfortable driving this truck.
It's just too dangerous. So, what we're gonna do is remote control the vehicle.
What we're gonna do is pull Davis in
on this, the electronics guru.
Mount some kind of a gear here
with a chain system to a motor, that way we can control the steering.
We'll have a servo for the acceleration
and then a linear actuator that will be pushing down on our brake.
On the original MythBusters, we used to use
pneumatic cylinders.
-So that way you would get a blast of air and it would -Yeah.
slam on the brake.
We had a few cars go out of control
-with our RC systems. -Well I certainly don't want that on my record.
[Tory] All right, I'll start working on the linear actuator.
[Davis] Perfect, and I'll go get
the rest of the computer put together.
So, this the main brain of the computer for our remote controlled car.
and what this does is it will take our transmitter signals through this receiver,
it'll process them through our microcontroller
and then send out the different signals to the different motors.
So, over here we'll have our steering, we can go left and right.
This is our throttle and this will be our brake
-and then this can be our kill switch. -[Tory] Awesome.
-Let's do it. -Yeah, boy.
[Tory] So I've just welded up this bracket here.
This will connect to the floorboard.
And then I'll pin my linear actuator
to this bracket.
And then, I'll also have another little connector here on the actual brake pedal.
That way, it gives us motion like this, which is what we're gonna need.
So, we can stop our truck.
[Davis] So, really what we're doing
is wiring up a two ton missile controlled by our thumb, so--
-Two ton missile. -[Davis] Yeah.
That sounds exciting.
Okay, when this servo swings back,
it will pull this cable and that will open our throttle
and that'll be our acceleration.
[Tory] Okay, so we are set.
We have the remote throttle and brake system in place.
Before we test it, we just jacked up the back of the truck
and we'll see if our systems are working
-Are you ready? -I'm ready, let's do it.
[Tory] Okay.
In three, two, one, accelerating.
- We have throttle. -That throttle's tight.
We have speed.
-All right, let's hit the brakes. -Hit the brakes.
-And slowly but surely we come to a stop. -All right.
-[Davis] Nice job. -Whee!
[Tory] It works.
[tires screeching]
[Faye] Oh, my gosh.
It feels very chicken-like, you know.
This place is so me.
They're not quite my size though but
not clothes shopping Faye, not clothes shopping.
I can spend like all day finding
the perfect decorations for my new trailer.
Those are so cute.
Because one, it's fun.
I need that.
Two, we need a visual reference inside the camper for how violent the sway is.
Oh, chickens, ah, the pair.
You know, like a vintage g-force meter.
Woah! I definitely am gonna put one of these in the trailer.
So, with this truck, I have a big problem.
While cruising about 50 to 55 mph
can we get up to 65-70 and do it briskly?
I need more power!
[exclaiming]
What could I do?
I know, nitrous.
75 shot of nitrous.
The interesting thing is that,
these bottles have a siphon tube that sits at a certain angle.
Oh, so we have to maintain that.
Yeah, I have to maintain that.
Seventy five horsepower will give us another 35% more power.
Enough to give Big Red the acceleration we need to test the myth.
Davis is putting the spray plate on
in between the throttle body and the intake manifold,
to allow some nice spray.
All we have to do now is make sure everything's secure,
connect the lines to the solenoids
and everything is plumbed in
the nitrous system, the wiring, everything is ready to go.
We're gonna purge the system of any air
and also allows a test of our remote control setup.
So Davis, are you ready?
I am, we're all armed inside the truck,
so everything is gonna come down to the flick of a switch.
-Beautiful. -In three, two, one.
-Perfect. -Oh, my goodness.
Now it's time to move on to the steering.
So what we're gonna do is we have a simple motor,
we're gonna attach it inside the truck.
It'll be on a gear
that gear will be attached to a gear on the steering wheel
If you were my kid,
this is what kind of remote controlled car
you'd be getting for Christmas.
The problem is, the door is not gonna close
'cause we're gonna be using this as a tensioner.
Oh yeah, we are tight on clearance.
We could technically move... remove this altogether.
That's what I'm talking about.
What I'm doing right now is I have a piece of angled iron.
just to make sure that my plain,
sprocket to the steering wheels are all in line
otherwise there's a chance that the chain could come undone
and then that means the truck's going out of control.
So, I've just attached the motor
with the sprocket that will be controlling the steering wheel.
No, I'm not crazy.
Our remote system for the steering is complete.
We have our motor in place.
Now we just need to see if this thing steers.
Three, two, one, go.
[Davis] All right, we got one direction.
[Tory] We got control,
-look at that, It's working. -[Davis] We got the other direction.
Sweet.
That is a thing of beautiful.
That is a thing of beauty.
I said a thing of beautiful, what does that even mean?
All right, I figure, if we're gonna destroy this trailer anyway,
I'm gonna make it look cute.
[spraying]
[Tory] Now, if you do experience trailer sway,
the proper thing to do is to apply the trailer's brakes.
A chicken.
[Tory] The myth that we're testing is the exact opposite.
It definitely needs another chicken.
[Tory] If you have sway, hit the gas.
-Oh, hey there. -I love it.
[Tory] We're gonna use nitrous to ensure Big Red
has enough power
to at least try and accelerate out of it.
Will it work? I don't know,
but first up, I need to dial in the RC assist.
It's like every kids dream.
[Bisi] Every kid's dream to a remote control Big Red.
[Tory] Yeah. [Bisi] Yeah.
All right, ready?
[Bisi] Poor dummies.
It's pretty good.
[Tory] There was one car that we remotely controlled.
This throttle is very touchy.
And it just took off, crashed into some dunes.
Oh, Jesus!
This accelerator is very touchy.
That's always something in, in the back of your mind, these are not toys.
That was fun.
[Tory] I don't know how I did it,
but I somehow hit the only two things out here.
That pile of cones
and that pile of cones.
I'm just a good aim.
I think you should drive.
I just promoted Davis.
[Bisi] We're 30.
We're 40.
[Tory] Good, you're doing it.
At 45 mph, you kept it in the center.
I just don't have enough practice on this system.
[exclaiming] That's a stop.
[Tory] Davis, that looked great.
Just to make things safer, Davis is gonna drive.
We had to make some adjustments to the truck.
We had to slow down our steering in order to get us more fine control.
[Tory] Come on, Big Red, you can do it.
Good boy.
[whistling]
You can go ahead and say it,
-it was controller error. -It was--
[Tory] All right Davis, this is your big shot.
Show us what you're made of.
The pressure has been ramped up about tenfold.
Obviously, building this was one thing but driving it in the moment
is whole another story.
[Tory] This kid is good. Thread the needle.
Too many video games.
Nice work, dude.
[Bisi] Wow, this thing is heavy.
-[Tory] Yeah, you know why... -[Bisi] Oh, my God.
[Tory] There's 2,000 pounds of water in there.
Look how low that's sitting.
[Faye] The camper is front loaded with 2,000 pounds of water.
When we get up to speed,
I have the remote to slide the barrels to the back.
Storm's coming in.
Oh perfect, it's raining.
So we are all gonna be in the follow car,
Bisi's gonna be driving that,
Davis, you're gonna be controlling the truck.
-Faye, you're gonna be controlling the weight... -The load.
...going back.
Holy crap, look at that.
-It's a dust storm, perfect, all right. -Oh, oh, my God.
It'll help with the trailer sway, maybe.
-[Davis] Yeah. -So, so.
We're gonna accelerate down there,
when you feel the swerve then we'll hit the NOS.
And see if we can get out of it.
-And then after that it's all-- -Whatever happens happens.
It's always good to drive the trailer when it's like...
-[Faye] Yeah. I know -...25 mph winds, right?
I think that's exactly what you're not supposed to do.
You ready for this?
You ready for rock and roll?
[Bisi] See the light coming through the clouds,
trailer's going to heaven, trailer heaven.
It's gonna be quite spectacular.
I'm not nervous, I'm not nervous.
Just so you guys know, I'm not nervous at all.
Okay, here we go.
We are going to release the brake and start rolling.
[Davis] All right, yeah.
[Tory] All right, brakes are off,
and we are starting accelerating.
-[Davis] Yeah. [Tory] -And we are rolling.
[Faye] Oh, my God this is so freaking crazy that you're driving it
-from right here -I know, this is hard.
[Davis] L ooking good dude, looking really good.
[Faye] This is looking awesome.
We're gonna start accelerating.
-Faye-- -So, let out the water.
[Bisi] Yeah, please, please. [Faye] Here it goes.
You can tell
that the weight of the trailer's changing with the load.
[Bisi] 30.
-[Faye] It's looking awesome. -[Bisi] All right.
[Bisi] 35.
[Tory] 40 mph.
Okay, we got some major sway.
[Bisi] Oh, my God.
[Faye] My flowers! No!
[Tory] Oh, my God that looks...
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
It's going, it's going, going down.
[Tory] Brakes. Hit brakes
[Davis] Oh man.
[Faye] Oh, my God.
[Tory] All right, let's reset.
[Tory] I don't think your chicken survived. [Faye] Oh my chicken.
[Tory] Sorry Faye, about your trailer. [Faye exclaims]
[Tory] Don't worry, it'll buff out.
[Faye] Yeah, no problem.
He didn't make it.
[Tory] Well, damn, that was exciting.
We got up to speed,
then all of a sudden, the wind just picked up.
We got instant sway.
We just snaked out of control and completely destroyed our trailer.
We can't really call this myth yet,
we haven't properly tested it.
This is fun.
I told you something would happen
It's heavy.
I really think that
if we attach some ratchet straps to it, we can pull it off.
The undercarriage, axle wheels,
and tracks for the barrels seem intact.
Oh, my God.
So, we're just gonna remove the top of the trailer off,
so we can try to retest this myth.
[Faye] These things are pretty flimsy.
[Tory] Well, I'll be darned.
[Faye] Yeah, what do you think,
-you're ready for round two? -Well that actually worked.
[Faye] Yeah.
[narrator] With the light fading fast,
the team race to reset.
[Tory] I was just joking when I said reset.
[narrator] The skeletal trailer rehitched,
the barrels refilled,
the remote control, and nitrous systems armed and ready to roll.
[Faye] Load is all the way back.
-[Davis] Okay, accelerating. -[Faye] Okay.
[Tory] All right, we are accelerating... [Tory] 1 5 mph.
...15 mph.
20 mph,
[Tory] It's looking good dude, it's looking good.
30 miles.
[Bisi] Oh, my goodness.
[Tory] All right, we're getting good sway. Okay. [Bisi] Oh, my God, oh.
30 miles.
- That's it, that's it -[Davis] Nitrous!
[Bisi] Nitrous now!
[all whooping]
Oh, my goodness.
[Tory] Kill it, kill it. [Bisi] Kill it.
-What the hell-- -Was that nuts?
Oh, my God.
[Tory] That didn't look like it helped...
- ...at all. -[Bisi] No, I know.
[Faye] It was so freaking cool though
just like seeing this thing take off as soon as we hit the NOS.
- And it made it 100% worse. -[Davis] Yeah.
That was awesome.
Jeez.
[Bisi] Based upon what we saw here today,
what do we learn?
I felt like that is the worst thing you can possibly do,
is accelerate out of the sway,
I mean, it took a bad situation and made it worse.
[Faye] So you really don't think that it tried to correct at all?
[Bisi] You know what, when it swayed left
-it would have went there, if it swayed right same thing. -Yeah.
-Yeah. -No matter where I point it,
It would've just gone for it and that's not safe.
Oh, this is absolutely busted.
-Yeah. -If you have trailer sway,
you do not accelerate out.
That is the worst thing you could do.
-[Bisi] Busted. -[Faye] This trailer is trash.
[Tory] Didn't I tell you, crashing stuff is fun.
[Bisi] You wanted us to drive that thing.
[Tory] I still wanna drive it. [Bisi] Okay.
