We’ve been posting our justifiable share of high pace runs that happen on unrestricted sections of the Autobahn in Germany, however this one is a tad totally different. Nicely, it’s so much like the opposite movies up till the second an older Mazda3 zoom-zooms to the left and overtakes what appears like a first-gen Ford Focus, possible not seeing the fast-approaching M4.
The BMW’s fast response in the end saved the day as though he was touring at speeds of 174 mph (280 km/h), he managed to keep away from rear-ending the inattentive Mazda driver. In response to the video’s description, the M4 slowed down from 174 mph to 87 mph (130 km/h) in about three seconds, quick sufficient to keep away from slamming into the brown hatchback.
Who’s responsible right here? Nicely, maybe all three drivers. That being stated, the principle wrongdoer right here must be the particular person behind the wheel of the Mazda3 for not checking the rearview mirrors earlier than switching lanes. Footage recorded from the M4 reveals the compact hatchback crossing two lanes in a single fast transfer to overhaul the Focus, in all probability with out paying shut consideration to what was coming from behind.
The Ford was too gradual to be driving on the third lane and may’ve switched to the primary or second lane the place the remainder of the automobiles had been touring at considerably decrease speeds.
As for the BMW M4 driver, some would say he’s utterly harmless. Whereas doing 174 mph in that part of the freeway (A5 to Frankfurt) is totally authorized, there was various visitors that day. Sure, the lane he was driving on was empty, however once you’re sharing the highway subsequent to you with so many vehicles, a tragedy can happen after a cut up second if an inattentive driver cuts in, unaware there’s a efficiency coupe devouring the Autobahn.
All’s nicely that ends nicely, and a giant spherical of applause for BMW and its brakes. The automobile’s ABS and tires additionally helped keep away from what would’ve in all probability been a nasty accident, and the M4 driver’s response saved the day as nicely.
