BMW is NOT the ultimate driving machine (or the guy driving it was just an idiot)...

BMW is NOT the ultimate driving machine (or the guy driving it was just an idiot)...

Yesterday - first rain of the season. Driving carefully but not super slow, my first winter with this car, since I don't know the limits I'm a little cautious.

I pull up to a red light, my lane goes through to the next light to go straight, right lane turns right, there will be two left turn lanes on my left at the next light, next light is about 400 yards away.

A new BMW 328 pulls next to me, I think nothing of it. Green light, I accelerate briskly, but no wheel spinning, etc. I hear to my right some revving noise, look over and the dumb M.F. in that 328 has LOST control of his car.... I don't know what the fool was thinking but I immediately slow down as I swear I thought he was going to side swipe me....

THE FOOL regained control of his car, passed me (as I slowed down) and proceeded to get in the left turn lane...

What the hell was he thinking... oh, he wasn't... I don't know what I would have done had he hit me being stupid like that........

No product in the world is 100% idiot proof

Glad he didn't sideswipe you

funny thing is, he was right next to me at the next stop light, he wouldn't even look in my direction, and took off fast as hell again, guess he didn't learn the lesson.

As soon as somebody develops and idiot-proof device/car, somebody comes up with a better idiot. Says more about the fool behind the wheel than the wheel the fool was behind.
