dont worry you have an audience of 17 yo's that will buy that shit.
Ive been driving longer than youve been alive . Im not saying im a better driver than you because who knows. Im just saying ive been in enough situations like that where if you tried to be a real live ken block in a real life emergency situation youd be in the grille of a le sabre.
you have a better chance of convincing me danny likes females than this story

So how old are you? I am glad I did what I did, it was that or t-bone the moron that was doing a u-turn.

I did not post to convince anyone.

Something is wrong with your story.

Why can a Hyundai, presumably doing 45-50 mph like everyone else, slow down enough to make a 180 degree U-turn but you can't slow down enough in a modified BMW E30 to safely avoid hitting him?

You need to either:

a) Slow the fuck down, you're going way too fast if you can't outstop a Hyundai.

b) Pay attention to what is going on around you and look ahead.

c) Spend less time "drifting" in mall parking lots and learn how to threshhold brake.

d) find a girlfriend and stop trying to make yourself look cool on the internet by making up or exaggerating stories.

Fixed:



You admit to driving to fast, and your car wont fit sideways between the truck and the other guy in your drawing.
Maybe you mean that you drove on two wheels? I saw that on youtube once. Makes me believe that I could do it in a stressful situation.

You are a moron, when you do a u-turn to cut it wide leaving me room. And the driver of the truck moved over around 2 feet.

It is a diagram on paint, and you are comparing that to a real road? You are a fucking tard.

I made it just to show the path I took and give an idea of what happened.

5 over the speed limit is not fast.

Regarding post #47

I did slow down, to around 30. I don't think he checked his rear mirror.

I saw the hit coming and knew I could not slow down enough and I was not about to t-bone him and cause a HUGE mess. I did what I thought was best.

I have never been in a car crash, I do that by watching others and seeing what they are doing. This guy was on drugs or something. He just slowed down super fast like he missed something and decided that was the best option. No blinker just brake and a fast turn.

I am a very safe driver and love my BMWs to death. So why would I drive like an idiot and tailgate? I stay two cars behind everyone.

Considering we dont know how fast on coming traffic was it could've been equal to a 80 mph hit. That will kill you. And Im pretty sure without a seatbelt you could die in a 40 mph collision. You dont actually know how fast 40 mph is until you've hit something that will absorb all your kinetic or transfer more energy into your vehicle.

go watch the mythbusters episode on that. its not equal to an 80 mph hit because you are doubling mass. newton's third law. good try tho. don't worry, they were suprised too.

Couldn't you have just passed on the right?

However, if the e30 had hit the truck while they were both going 40 in opposite directions the impact would be greater (for the e30) than a head-on collision with another small car due to the difference in weight.

Damn, I though thought the speeds were added together too, that's cool.

EXACTLY what i thought of when i read his post.

[Lodsin]

So on the way back from exchanging the TV for the LCD I was cut off...

The MORON in front of me decided to make a U-turn on a two way road, while a Hemi sized truck is coming our way. He sweeps to the right to start his U and cuts me off. I hit the brakes bring it from 47-50 down to around 40 then slam into second and pop the e-brake and no kidding NFS drift in the middle of both cars. I WAS SCARED SHIT LESS! It was SO DAMN CLOSE, I thought I scraped paint on the truck.

Blah blah blah no one cares

As stated before, the Hyundai must have been going slow enough to think that they could pull off a U-Turn how the fuck could you not see this guy go from 50 down to 15?

I think if you scraped paint with the truck then you would have spun.

Take your knowledge from the Plot and go to a track. Instructors know more than us.

three second rule. From now on give yourself some room.

[GaryE30]

This thread delivers!

I had the same situation happen to me today... except I just hit my brakes. A car on the right side of me cuts across my lane and the 2 opposing lanes to pull a u-turn. Completely oblivious driver. I, unfortunately, didn't drift out of harms way, but I would have if I knew I could generate a thread like this!
