Trebuchet Neutral Newbie December 2, 2011 Author Share December 2, 2011 ..and very planted when it swayed to avoid hitting the barrier That is so true, you can see the spray of water it kicked up when it turned to avoid the divider - macham like ice-blading turn-stop liddat. I bet the divider got *wetter* Actually what happen I think was, the BM closed in too fast on the car ahead, which was blocking the divider. That stretch of Lornie Road to Thomson/Braddell got curve a bit to the right so if you're close to a car in front you won't see the divider coming up, especially if you're watching a gap on the left for cutting in. If you watch the video the driver took his foot off the brake before slamming on and jerking right. The bestest part is, after he had his narrow escape he still accelerate to match the speed of the taxi! Ultimate Crashing Machine! Even if he had cut in safely, the taxi driver would still have had to jam brake. Making the beemer an a-----e. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightsky 1st Gear December 2, 2011 Share December 2, 2011 Not sure if anyone noticed, but moments before he was about to hit the barrier, there were 2 sets of brake lights (ie there were additional brake lights), which I know is a special feature on the previous generation 7 series, which under hard braking, in addition to the regular brake lights, there is another set of lights which would light up. Seems like the BMW did a very hard brake, but with the power of ABS and DSC, under very wet conditions, the car performed marvelously. Truly the ultimate driving machine.

Fcw75 Hypersonic December 2, 2011 Share December 2, 2011 KNN, why never crash into barrier? What a waste. That will have taught the BMW driver a good lesson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightsky 1st Gear December 2, 2011 Share December 2, 2011 KNN, why never crash into barrier? What a waste. That will have taught the BMW driver a good lesson. Simply because he bought a BMW, and not any other car. This BMW driver learnt a very good lesson - he bought the right car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptronic Supercharged December 3, 2011 Share December 3, 2011 BMW was too busy to see the road split arrows (double arrow), continuous white line immediately follwed by chevron type triangle. If drivers understand the road markings, this type of "near hit" accidents can be avoided. Once again, well done BMW (wonder if Audi can handle this well? ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, well done BMW (wonder if Audi can handle this well? ) that is EXACTLy the maneuvre we picked up in ADT, where we get out of a situation and the braking to get to veer to our course of preference. Textbook execution. the bugger must have gone for ADT....saved his arse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Textbook execution. the bugger must have gone for ADT....saved his arse I learnt the same technique in Gran Turismo 4 on my PS2... with an Audi A3. Brake to bleed speed, lift off, brake again to shift weight onto front tyres and maximise traction - then snap to right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
