Drive Moderately Guys
Yesterday happened this accident, an M5 tried to overtake some cars, but he couldnt...

http://www.online.rtlklub.hu/hirek/h...17&adasid=1648

There is the video, and the gallery also...

In the BMW at the passenger's seat a young woman died, and 4 another injured person was at that accident. The driver left the casualty location, after he saw that the young woman died, and after a half day, the police found that person...

So guys, drive moderately, and be safe on the roads.
You have to be the good driver.
My driving trainer told me that I have to go on the roads with that sense, that no one other than me can drive, nobody know the rules...

BE Safe guys...
Cheers,
Alex

That was one of the worst M5 accidents I have seen.





Yes, in all BMW M5 it is very easy to loose sence of the real speed, it hides the speed so good. You WIL notice the high speeds once you drive off the road...

I hope the police took the driver to the back of the shed and shot him in the head. This guy deserves to pay the ultimate price for the sadness I am sure he has caused to many many people! This is horrible.

Thanks.

By the way, I don't think driving fast has anything to do with driving poorly. This guy was just a bad driver making stupid decisions. My guess he was also intoxicated.
