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

    Relaxing to restoration videos

    There are tons of YouTube videos one could watch to unwind and decompress at the end of the day, perhaps while having dinner. You could watch one of those nature documentaries, travel vlogs featuring beautiful beaches, or perhaps a cooking show. But there's something strangely therapeutic about watching restoration videos. And the channel I find myself drawn to is Fumicho Restoration, a channel full of videos of old motorcycles being repaired and essentially reborn. I'm not even familiar wi

    CSI Miami, you are missed

    When the original CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) first aired in 2000, I was intrigued. There had been plenty of police dramas prior to CSI, but this was the first one I watched that was focussed on forensics. From DNA to Luminol sprays to blood spatter to bullet striations, using science to unravel the mystery of a crime and compiling concrete evidence to convict criminals made for good storytelling. However, CSI was visually dark as the team featured in the show worked the night shif
