BMW 320i - Nearly head on crash - Redcar01

Nearly needed a new car today after Audi driver oncoming giving it some speed realised the car in front had stopped to turn right. Audi front end hits the deck , back end goes up in the air smokes from tyes can be seen and he decides to pull into the opposite lane to stop hitting the back of stationary car but sees me where he wants to go, i swerve and he swerves at the same time , how he didnt hit me i dont know. Only me and my family are glad he didnt.

All because he was showing off giving it some on 40 mph road

'Smoke from the tyres'? I wouldn't have thought that would happen with ABS.

Glad you are okay. Pity you don’t have dashcam, you could have him done for dangerous driving.

He could do it again and kill someone next time. If you have witnessess, you should go to the police and stress that your name and address etc. must remain confidential.

Something similar happened to me back in the sixties when I was a very new driver, somewhere in Oxfordshire on the A40 I think. A car behind a few slower vehicles pulled out and decided to pass them all. I had to take to the verge to avoid a collision. I now wonder why it was necessary, as back then there was so much less traffic.
