The Actions of Idiot Drivers...
So Yesterday some Idiot kept Cutting on me while Driving my 640 GC (I was on the Right Lane) and in order for him not to hit me i (without slowing down) went up on the curb... I'm quite surprised that my Car CAN do this, There was no Damage at all (The Rims took the hit mostly)... Of course being the Guy that Loves his Car to Death i Honked at him for like 10 Minutes
That Was the Only Damage that Happened:

With all respect, you need to face reality. You were involved in a road rage incident. You've worked hard all your life and now you have some great toys. You should be disappointed in yourself. 1. You got a black eye. 2. You risked too much. It's time, right now, for you to stop and ask yourself what could you have done differently to avoid this damage. Note: contrary to your previous assertion, there was damage. You have a lot more to lose. You should be angry at yourself for not retreating. Also, you should also see if you're not taking similar dangerous risks in other areas of your life. If you're married with children: love your wife, it's the best gift you can give your kids. End of intervention. |

I did nothing wrong, he cut on me as the road had a curve and everyone was turning (each on his lane) then this guy randomly cut on me and I ended up going up the curb in order for him to not hit me.... And actually I have no blackeye BUT i did have a panic attack as I was shaken up by the incident and stress from life... I also forgot to mention that the guy apologized...

If I were you, I would take the car to dealer to be inspected. You may need alignment even if there is no damage (ie control arm)... 6er has delicate front suspension due to extra weight on front and can be damaged easily on situation like this or potholes.

Wheels don't do very well with lateral forces. So, listen to the poster that said to get it checked out. If you have wheel and tire with cosmetic they will fix it. I think you may have been in shock. You should probably remember this the next time something happens. Treat a similar situation as an accident. Take pictures of both cars and exchange info. I am guessing you did this since you got an apology. One last Q, if I may: why didn't you slow down to avoid the accident? You could not? |

One can control, and should, one's own driving, but of course one cannot control others.
They have been doing it in Russia due to the bad drivers/legal system by using a dash cam for proof and evidence. I recently purchased a dash cam for my 6 for just such a scenario. Here is a trip (no accident) I took over Vail pass on my way to Las Vegas. Notice the bouncing semi I had to white knuckle pass and see if you can find the State Patrol car.
