Oh I'm not saying it was his fault - just meant I'd be very wary of giving an inexperienced driver a car like an M235. Knew a guy who had an M5 freshman year in college and it was just a BAD idea all around. If Lewis Hamilton can wreck his road car any of us can, but when do kids even get their licenses these days 17 or 18? Not what I'd have my kid driving, but that's just me. |
As someone mentioned the article stated the other driver turned left and was hit. The would give the M235i right of way regardless of speed unless there was a control present.
It's tragic the people lost their lives but I don't see how the driver's age plays anywhere in this scenario. The 2 series is a very safe vehicle and I'm sure played a part in the drivers survival.
