If that z4 is anything like my z3 rear quarter visibility will be very poor.

On another note the angle of the little Citroën when it impacts looks to me like they had just moved from middle to slow lane.

Reality is Citroën was foolish to be travelling at that speed in that lane past that traffic. Sadly that is far too common a thing to happen.

BMW at fault.

Z4 crash on the M60, looks a fairly nasty one!
Poor reporting, they called the Z4 a sports car- FAKE NEWS!

I have been heavily slated on the group where this video first arrived.

I have simply pointed out that the yellow car looked like it was moving lane 2 to 1 - therefore while the BMW should not have pulled out there - I suspect he did not simply pull out without a care....

I've also suggested that in these circumstances where there is stationary traffic vs live, someone pulling out is not unheard of - a driver would be wise to consider lane 2 for a few hundred yards, or failing that, loose a few mph and be very attentive to what that other traffic is doing.

PH - am I mad, a danger to the roads?

I would agree with that. Citroen is definitely moving over to L1 and although it's not their fault, it they had waited another few seconds to clear the slip road it could have been avoided.

In my opinion stationary traffic queuing to come off a motorway with fast live lanes still doing 70mph+ is one of the most dangerous scenarios on the roads. I never feel comfortable when I'm at the back of the line either, always leave a gap in front of me while checking my mirror to see if approaching cars have realised I'm stopped. At least then you can try and get out the way, rather than bumper to bumper you're just a sitting duck.

I disagree. The DS3 has pulled to the offside edge of L1 as a natural instinct to steer away from the BMW pulling out. Unfortunately the DS is stuck between a rock and a hard place, as a van is right on the rear quarter of the DS in L2. The driver of the BMW is a) a total idiot for pulling out like that and b) an even bigger scumbug of society for having the cheek to blame the DS driver for the BMW's mistake.

However I do agree about keeping the lane next to stationary traffic sterile, it makes sense, or failing the ability to do that at least keep your speed right down and having your eyes peeled.

Overall thought, that's the sort of crash I'd like to see the BMW driver banned for as a result. At least three innocent vehicles damaged (not the Beemer) because of the impatience of one person. Completely avoidable.

I'm amazed the way the Citroen bounced off the Z4. Z4 hardly moved.

The DS3 hit the Z4 from right to left, suggesting a move from lane 2 to lane 1.

If the DS3 was doing as you suggest, they would be moving from left to right, and therefore would not have been able to hit the Z4 in the way it did.

In my opinion the Citrons direction of momentum makes be inclined to think they were going from lane 2 to 1 and not the other way around.
