Default Almost crashed

I was with my friend in his accord and it was about 10 or 11 at night. this suv came behind us and started flashing theyre brights at us. so we went down this road with a long straight away and just took off with them still following. but it was pitch black so he didnt see a turn in the road and he hit the curb at 70-80 mph. we slid around, did a 180 until we came to a stop because we were sliding sideways for about 100ft. they flew by us and people came out of their houses and we drove off. it was the scariest moment of my life

Why the hell did you take off if an suv was behind you flashing the lights? Makes no sense unless your leaving something out of the story.

So why not pull over and let them by rather than causing an accident.
