Emergency Aviodance Move

rogbmw · 02-02-2012, 09:04 AM

Driving down 441 yesterday at 70mph in the left lane. The car and SUV in front of me abruptly slows and swerves suddenly to reveal a 2ft x 3ft x 3ft storage box sitting just to the right of the midline in the left lane. I swerve left and easily miss the box, but not the SUV behind me as he tried to swerve and hits it! After the move, I was amazed how easily and in control the 1M took the manouver - it was nothing at all. I love how this car handles, and you don't have to take it to the track when you need to find out.

Scary stuff! Looks like the car got caught in the rear tires of the truck first, and lost control and jacked the truck in the front

Drama or trauma. Take your pick

hehe the car handles so nicely, today I was driving along with my cousin and took a nice corner at 80 kph. My cousin looked like he was going to die. I told him, that was really nothing. The car felt so stable.

Ninja car the 1M is *yoda voice*

Regarding that video... scary stuff man, all that pepsi has gone to waste

The only highway in Addison, Tx is The North Dallas Tollway (aka the TOLLway.... Improvements are constant, and so are the toll increases). Pretty much the entire roadway is like running an automotive gauntlet a veritable running of the ...sheep...no....bulls.....no... . Longhorns, yeah...!!!

An area two miles south has lanes that are probably two feet narrower per lane!

Holy crap!
Was the driver texting or did they have a medical issue?
