From the comments I would guess it's rare. It's used heavily on the ovals
but like you suggest I think it would be almost as likely to cause accidents
on F1 starts unless used rather more sparingly than it was for Sato.

I think the word you were looking for was 'careen', which means to swerve.

Careen is something you do to a boat, istr. Do you mean "Carom", which
means to bounce-off?

'Careen' actually means to tip a boat on its side to clean the hull.
Probably by confusion with 'career' - which was used correctly in the
quote - it has acquired a meaning of proceeding wildly, tipping from
side to side. A car careening would be going from two wheeling on one
side to the other.

Anything else I can help with?

Dictionary.com

ca·reen

2. To rush headlong or carelessly; career:

Everybody happy now.

Interesting point.

However, my dictionary (which I got in England) says:
1. to tilt or keel over to one side
2. (Amer) to swerve.

.. while 'career' is defined as "a quick or violent forward movement - v. to
move swiftly or wildly."

The OP was suggesting that a driver might move into them (from behind). So
actually both words could be used in this context (locked brakes, swerve to
avoid = "careened into him" (from the side) or "careered into him" (nose to
tail).

I find this an interesting vocabulary lesson - I learned a new use for a
word!

Here in North America cars 'careen' into each other on a fairly regular
basis. But I've *never* heard someone use the expression 'careered into
him". But I like it, and now have a new word to use when describing the next
Michael Schumacher incident. "he CAREERED into him" !!

LOL

Well, he's certainly made a career of it...
LOL

Indeed.

 Having seen the pic on www.pitpass.com of Sato stood on two wooden blocks
for a photo so he looked similar height to the others in the picture (JB and
his g/f?) they probably have to tell him whats around him 'cos he can't see
over the wheel!

According to dictionary.com the word careening was transferred from
sailing context to apply to automobiles "which generally careen, that
is, lurch or tip over, only when driven at high speed". One assumes this
is a reference to fairly old (now) cars - certainly my car doesn't
really lurch or tip over at high speed!

Oh but plenty of high centre of gravity 4x4s are well known to careen round
corners.

I've been taking my radio scanner to Australian GP's since 1987, and
just clocked up my 14th grand prix... and I'd never heard this idea
used in F1 before. (Spotters are of course used in oval racing all
the time.)


As I mentioned in another slightly less relevent thread:

Jock Clear also did this in Melbourne, but it was nowhere
near as useful. It was something like:
"I cant see you, I cant see you, I cant see you, I cant see you, you're
all clear."

Career, meaning "to rush", is correct, although not used much any more
in that context.

from "The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (3rd
Edition":

"career: 1.a. A chosen pursuit; a profession or occuapation.
2. A path or course, as of the sun through the heavens.
3. Speed: "My hasting days fly on with full career" (Milton)
intransitive verb: To move or run at full speed; rush
[French carrie[']re, from Old French, racecourse, etc............."

It's been questioned a few times lately. Just thought I'd set the
record straight!

Cheers,
Dave.
