Sharpen Your BMW Stereotypes As You Watch This Z4 Driver Cause A Huge Multi-Car Accident

Among the favourite BMW stereotypes are those that say drivers of the Munich brand’s cars don’t know how to use their indicators or mirrors. At least one of those has a stack of new ammunition thanks to this video.

The camera car sees the red Z4 join the traffic in front of it on the M60 motorway, otherwise known as the Manchester Ring Road. It slots into a gap normally, leaving a faster-moving lane that goes off in a different direction.

But after a minute – skip to 1:10 for the action, which then repeats – the driver decides they’ve had enough and want to try a different route, flipping their indicator on and pulling across back into the free-flowing lane… apparently without using their mirrors properly.

The resulting smash with a Citroen DS 3 is completely needless, and other cars also get caught up in the carnage. The DS is bounced right up in the air by the force of the blow, spinning off and hitting a van and an unseen car in the queue ahead.

Miraculously, the BMW isn’t spun around. It does take heavy damage to the right rear, though. What was the driver thinking?!
