BMW 5 Series driver loses control and flips car

Despite many manufacturers equipping their cars with many safety systems onboard their cars, they do not make the car immune to the laws of physics as we can see from these videos below.

We got hold of these videos via some of the various random group chats that have been circulating it and from the looks of it, the accident happened earlier this morning (9 Jan 2020) while the roads were greasy from the drizzle over the day.

We are not sure which part of the ECP highway this is but what is clear is that the camera car was driving at his own pace on lane 2 before (what looks like) a group of 3 BMW F10 5 series overtaking the camera car. Unfortunately, one of them lost control while trying to overtake his mates due to the last min abrupt weight transfer as he did the sudden lane change from 1 to 3.

We have no idea if the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) was turn off or was it too much even for the DSC to save in the first place?

Kudos to BMW for building a decently strong car. Despite the seriousness of the crash, the car still looked like it held up pretty well.

Anyway, with the recent rainy weather, do take extra care when on the roads and make sure your tyres have enough thread!

Accident car driver make an error to hit brake during overtaking at high speed. Obviously, the BMW fish tailed and crushed.

Camera car can claim damages for run over debris caused by accident car. I believe with new insurance clauses, high speed accident will not be able to claim damages.

Trying to endanger other innocent road user. from the rear view camera, we can see the said BMW is the slowest among the 3. trying to speed up to overtake the one at the last lane but due to the wet condition, it skidded. 

Hopefully this is will be the last time we see this driver on the road.

Now the camera car owner has to spent his precious time to repair the dmg the BMW driver incurred.

  • Hard Enduro: The ultimate motorsport?

    I enjoy motorsports of all kinds - four wheels good, two wheels better. And while watching them on TV (okay let's be honest Youtube, who even watches TV nowadays) is fun, getting to partake in anything even remotely resembling it, even in a highly truncated, totally superficial manner, is even more exciting.  Earlier this year, I did a short 2.5 day off-road riding 'tour', and it was easily the hardest, most physically demanding 2.5 days I've ever spent on a motorbike. It really gives you a

    Building a racing-themed watch!

    This. This watch dial is the reason I started on this particular watch build... It all began when I came across someone's build that utilised the same dial - prior to this, I did not even know of the existence of a Walter Wolf Racing branded watch or dial. If you don't have any idea who or what Walter Wolf Racing is, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia: "Walter Wolf Racing was a Formula One constructor active from 1977 to 1979, which won the first race the team entered. It was owne

    A right-handers world

    I was mid-way through a bike ride in Ladahk, feeling the ache in my right hand, when a thought occurred to me: “Huh, how come the throttle is always on the right side of all bikes?”  Statistically, about 90% of people in the world are right-handed. Full disclosure: I am right-handed, part of this largely ignorant majority.  And if you think about it, some things are designed clearly with that in mind.  Throttle on a motorcycle? Right hand. Accelerator pedal in a car? Right f
