Should I blame BMW because I rear ended someone stopped at a red light, doing 80mph?

e60_M5_2020 · 01-18-2010, 11:30 PM

Let me consult this simple flow chart and find out...

CBR335 · 01-18-2010, 11:50 PM

So, you couldn't stop because your HPFP blew for the third time, thus causing limp mode. Therefore, you couldn't accelerate to 100 mph fast enough to swerve around the slowing traffic in front of you to properly blow through the waning yellow light?

BMW's fault for sure IMHO.

I say take some driving lessons and call it a day. That, or stop sexting while driving. That can be dangerous

Just exactly where can you go 80 mph and have that same road have a red light?

JerzeySux · 01-19-2010, 01:06 AM

Thats not weed he's smoking. LOOK at the chart DAMN.

More likely the beginning stages of meth use than weed. You usually become neurotic prior to becoming a typical addict. Those who smoke too much mary J tend to just lurk around posting gibberish till all hours of the morning.

What's pretty sad is the chart illustrates the fact that many SA's believe that if a code wasn't thrown, there is no problem, at least none that they can do anything about. Nobody thought that way before computers, in our great grandpa's days.

There's a very good chance that through a flaw in the programming, things happen and there is no code stored. That doesn't mean there isn't a problem nor that the issue didn't happen.

"My car died in the middle of traffic."

"Is there a code?"

"No."

"Come back when there's a code, there's nothing we can do. In the meantime, just keep making your payments and be careful not to drive when anyone else is on the road."

80mph at the point of impact? From the hospital, are you typing with a straw in your mouth, since you were likely paralyzed from the collision?

Tee212 · 01-19-2010, 04:54 AM

I want my click back

Mark · 01-19-2010, 06:53 AM

F32Fleet · 01-19-2010, 07:02 AM

///mbimmer · 01-19-2010, 07:10 AM

vgame64 · 01-19-2010, 09:32 AM

"Is a temporary solution being offered in the mean time?" has no option for no leading out of it.
