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.

  • A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    Note: Click here to read Pt. 1, where the journey began in Hong Kong. NEXT UP: CHONGQING Day 3, cont.: Dad had decided on the scenic route to Chongqing - train. We did not realise that the immigration process at the Hong Kong Kowloon West station involved both the Hong Kong and Chinese authorities, so we found ourselves in a rush to board the train (we boarded minutes before the scheduled departure). Through the eight-hour journey, the passing sights made me realise the diversity

    Germany is weird, too

    As we've previously established and regularly highlighted, Japan is pretty weird.  And as it turns out, Germany's kinda weird, too:  m2-res_720p.mp4 The above video has been making its rounds on social media, and the simplest description of it is that it's a game where they are trying to cut an object (here, a pretzel) EXACTLY in half. It's pretty amazing that the person actually succeeds, but the fact that this is a game at all (on TV, no less) is fascinating.  Schlag d
