Original article indicated "tried to pass..." Shades of the movie, "John Q Public." Motoring along with power and control until something small changes everything. We have tons of deer around get to keep me humble on public roads... Then again, you see them at tracks, too. Nothing is really safe, ever.

Absolutely horrific... may he Rest In Peace. Not sure if he was in MDM but I sometime find MDM gives inexperienced drivers a false sense of security that will oversteer completely in the wet when provoked.

RIP, our thougts are with his Family!
I know that place very well, was my way to work for years. The last days over here we had cold and damp nights. 08:00 in the morning streets are still slippy, bad and dangerous left turn hanging to the right with trees very close to the street right and some smaller trees and bushes left hand side, just leaving the city limits right before, alsmost everybody pulls the trigger there. Very sad to hear, please stay safe everybody!! |

RIP.
The deer are mating this time of year. I don't know about his accident but there were more standing in the road yesterday than I've seen in a while.

So sad it bothers me sometimes when I see fellow Bimmers drivers racing through morning or afternoon rush. If you are a good driver, keep in mind people around you are $#!¥ drivers. Play it safe everyone I always recommend it to friends who can afford it, not to use the M as a daily ... RIP M2C driver

Very sad, RIP... it's a reminder for everyone to be safe out there. It's easy to forget how much power these cars have and want to push it to its limits

It's just surprising and sad that they can't develop the technology that offers a more perfect cocoon in the accident cockpit |

I highly recommend everyone go to your local BMW CCA HPDE for skidpad training. Learning how to recognize oversteer and understeer and how to immediately correct it could save your life.
