One Handed Drifting Is a Bad Idea

Drifting a car in a nice-looking and presentable way is hard enough with two hands on the wheel, and things are even more difficult with just one hand. However, this Nissan 240SX driver from the US thinks he can drift his car around a wet parking lot, with one hand out the window.
He does do it for a few seconds, before he slides the rear of the car into a high curb, breaking the suspension from the rear left corner of his car, and jamming the rim all the way up in the wheel well. The impact was not particularly violent, but suspension components are not designed to handle lateral forces that well, so they just break when under excessive strain.

Keeping both hands on the wheel is very important in any sort of driving, and especially during drifting, which is quite difficult to get right.
