it was just wheels spinning :bah: I would be surprised if they'll tell me the car caused the accident ...
As for dips, bumps or cambers, of course I can't remember about them :bah:
Anyway yes, the investigation is underway but it will take quite some time to have the first results through my lawyer... |
I know from first hand experience that a little mid-corner bump can cause a rear wheel drive car on a wet, salty road to slide quite unexpectedly. As you probably know an E36 320i is an easily controllable car with predictable behaviour, even on snow, but I had the back snap unexpectedly once in the above mentioned conditions. Because of the bump the load on the rear wheels was a little bit less for just a short moment, but it was more than enough to send the back sideways! The road surface plays a very important role.
