Almost crashed today SJ highway

Beemerm3 · 04-11-2020, 12:39 AM

Drove my car fairly quick on a turn. Drove on a bridge too. It was on the 87 coming into 280. My dsc is always off. So I drove kind of quick and the road was kinda bumpy. Hit the bump I knew I was going to eat it. Let off the gas and car was skidding one way, just a little.. Until I controlled it. Bad experience for me. Probably the most dangerous bridge.

87 northbound onto 280 south
Yea there's a pretty big jump at the expansion joint
I've always slowed down on that right hander
Glad you're ok

87 is trash. I don’t go over 120 because there are so many bumpy spots that upset the car’s balance.

And you're driving a 400+ HP car on bumpy public roads with DSC off because...?

Please ALWAYS leave your traction control ON while driving on public roads!!!

Yes in other words because it's lighter and stiffer than the cls, rebound on stock m4 suspension can get tricky.

I recommend mdm on any road you dont know perfectly/%100 that is occupied by other, normal drivers.
