Dynamics I think but I might be wrong. My memory from fifty years ago is a bit foggy. Edit; Friction might be hiding in there too.
That's Kuwait City. One of the worst countries in the world for traffic fatalities and serious road trauma. That looks like the main boulevard into the city on the west side of town. I had an apt/"safe house" there for a couple years that I'd hang my hat at during down time from endeavors elsewhere and this gave me and a S.African buddy the opportunity to bicycle out to the main program staging area about 30 miles outside the city to the NE. Good times. We'd have to get on the road at like 4am when everything was more or less quiet. If we missed this 4:30-4:30 am window to move out we'd have to drive. The road would get THAT bad that early. THU nights are a big party night in the MidEast. THU's are basically their FRI's and SAT's are their SUN's. On FRI mornings in particular we'd commonly get to see some of the previous night's carnage, and when I say carnage I mean CARNAGE. I have some photos but I'm on the road for work right now and it's on an external drive I don't have with me. It was a combination of hilarity and shock. For example- We saw a minivan that didn't make a curve one morning due to speed and went straight into a row of trees. The engine was basically coming through the firewall and there was a perfectly imprinted dome on the driver-side windshield where the driver hit the glass. In that dome were red threads from his shemaugh, black human hair, and strips of his scalp. Another morning we came across a canary yellow Corvette that went straight into a light pole on a straightaway, probably while drag racing. Again, engine practically in the from seat and probably a full pint of blood painted the driver side of the interior. The L side of front quarter panel was a collection of about a dozen bloody smeared handprints from the side-view mirror to the front bumper where the guy must've staggered out of the vehicle and used the car to hold himself up. Yet another time, not far from where that picture was taken we saw a black cinder of a stain on the road and bits of red plastic strewn about a 100 meter length of the boulevard in a cone-like pattern, none was more than maybe 6 inches at its longest point. About 25m ahead of this main black burn mark was an engine block lying in another smoldering asphalt stain and there was partial rim from one of the wheels firmly stuck into a nearby tree like a Ninja throwing star bearing the name of the car's manufacturer… Ferrari. I could go on and on. Both the State Dept and the CIA publicly warn Americans on their websites to be extremely cautious when negotiating the roadways of Kuwait, or at least they used to back then. Those people seemingly have no idea of what can go wrong at high speeds and about the same respect of their action's potential consequences. The entire country is Darwinism personified. Google "Middle East Drifting Fail." Grab some popcorn.
