BMW M3 hits barricade and rolls on wet highway
 

This is why you take it easy in the rain...

Poor m3..

My belly button smells funny.

RS meet to test legitimacy of this.

He's lucky he didn't take any one else out.

that looks like it would have been really easy to save if the driver hadn't panicked and locked the wheels. a simple counter steer probably would have saved it.

locked the wheels? wtf happen to abs

not sure how the driver did that.. didnt seem like it was going that fast or even losing traction that badly..

I thot it happened yesterday in the thunder storm

So this looks like this was in China :badpokerface:

first thing that came to mind is that maybe he couldn't afford new tires for drifting so tries to do it in the rain ala initial d :troll:

why is the windshield wipers so flappy lol

this happened in taiwan. we had pretty heavy rain and strong wind that day due to a typhoon.

someone on another forum did an analysis and said the camera car was travelling at around 110km/h. i have not driven a proper rear-wheel sports car before let alone in the rain, but if i had 450hp going to my rear wheels, i would go a little slower than that.

as for the flappy wipers, google "rolling shutter"

Took the hit so well....the headlights are still on :fulloffuck:

Bald summer tires and water on the road are a bad combination. The BMW hydroplaned when he attempted to pass the idiot left lane hog on the right.

What's so hard about driving according to the conditions?

Too many people think their traction control, abs, ESC, LMNOP are going to drive the fucking car for them cause they're too stupid and/or lazy to figure out how their car performs in less than ideal and emergency situations.

Wait....so you're telling me I can't use my summer tires in winter even with my STI?!?!

Subaru ripped me off! :fuuuuu:

I noticed the M3 driver was braking the whole time when he smacked the barricade...I wonder what would of happened if he/she used the throttle and tried to counter steer out of it?

^probably the exact same thing.

FWD/AWD might have a chance if you nail the throttle and counter steer... but don't think it's gonna help with RWD.

let off throttle and counter steer.. or turn into your spin so you dont hit so hard head on and slide backwards along the wall

looks like he already tried to countersteer but his wheels locked up

Driving a lightweight, rwd, no electronic safety nets, twitchy rear end, uneven powerband S2000 in rain and snow taught me how to always drive according to conditions.

Cars are actually much safer now and yet people still screw up.

You can't fix stupid. All you can do is make them take an advanced drivers course when they buy a car that is capable of doing this kind of thing before selling it to them.

maybe the camera car shouldn't have hogged the left lane.
