Whoops [Z4 crash on motorway]

Interesting that the yellow car went at the speed it did as passing a traffic jam is always risky as people often pull out. Not an excuse for the BMW of course to do so.
 
silly sausage. how could you NOT see a yellow DS3 bearing down on you?!?
I'd be livid. The zed driver is looking at losing his/her license for that manouvre I'd suggest.
 
I can't decide if the ds3 was trying to move into the middle lane to avoid the Z4 or if they were moving from the middle lane to the left and that's what caught out the Z. Either way I think much more awareness from the Z driver is needed, and ds3 needs to anticipate someone might pull out. Always expect a stupid manover
 
Really impressed with how the Z took the thump. Very sturdy, stayed close to the ground and didn't really loose any control. A well built car. I suspect the driver ended up sitting in the passenger seat what with the sideways impact helped along by the door airbag
:thumbsup:

Looking at it the DS was probably moving from the middle to the left lane and thats possibly why the Z driver thought it was clear to pull out.
 
Late indicating by the zed as the yellow car changes lanes to the nearside without indicating.
Wonder how many times that happens everyday.

It seems these days that drivers will indicate going right to overtake but not left to pull in on motorways.
And I always leave the slip road near lane and drive down the middle lane when passing.
Always done on motorbike and overtake lorries on the outside lane even if the middle is clear.

And waiting to see a major accident on these stupid intelligent motorways, where a few weeks ago travelling north past Spagetti to M6 J8
a lorry had broken down in lane 1(part time hard shoulder) of 4 and a lorry pulled out to lane 2 and lorry behind it pulled out from 1 to 3 just as I was pulling left from 4 to 3. Took some firm braking on my part. Wasn't expecting it to go straight from 1 to 3.
Think the driver was trying to maintain the momentum up hill.

That's where I was leaning to, glad it's not just me
