Flipped BMW

Posted on March 8, 2010 by in News and Events, On the Road

This morning, a BMW somehow managed to flip over at a 4-way intersection in front of my office.  It was loud enough that I decided to go out on a coffee break, and am astounded at California drivers.

This intersection isn’t anything groundbreakingly difficult to get around in, it’s just 2 lanes of traffic in every direction, with some lights to tell people when they should go or stop.  I’ve seen a lot of really stupid things happen here, from horrid drivers to worse pedestrians to homeless people singing to UPS drop-boxes, but this tops it off.  California licenses should not be valid in other states.

If you’re ever in Oakland, and are up for a challenge, try driving South on Broadway and turning right so you’re headed West on Grand.  Apparently it’s spectacularly hard to pull off.

    Thanks for the google maps, but picks of the flipped BMW would have been more interesting.
