“career” to mean uncontrolled or wild driving is correct.
Its getting a bit underused these days, but its valid.

"Chilling footage showed the Ford Fiesta career through Westminster..." It's proper English, but that particular usage of the word has long been out of favor in America. The word, 'careen', is more favored here.
