evo i misha je dao svoje misljenje o prometnoj izmedu porschea i bmwa

So about that big nasty Nürburgring crash... Full video you know where, but "in short":
I appreciate all your DMs asking whether I have seen it. Or any other NBR crash/incident/event. The locals see this stuff daily, but most of the times it stays within local WhatsApp groups or occassionally a picture gets posted on FB. Having said that: it's nothing special, this happens (almost) every day and crashes/incidents happen on almost every track day on every other track in the world. The "fireworks" of this one was of course quite big and massive thanks to today's safety standards for keeping everyone alive. In Porsche's case the driver had "just a few scratches", without helmet, HANS or any fire protective clothing.

Who is at fault? One more than the other. Public sessions are classified as public road and the rule is = slow traffic stays right, fast traffic passes on the left. As it is an unlimited speed section of "the road", everyone is required to check their mirrors for faster traffic. M2 clearly failed to do that, when the faster traffic was behind it first and shortly after next to it.

Rule Number 2: everyone is allowed to drive only as fast, as when they can make an immediate stop to avoid any accident. M2 turning in on you and you did not stop to avoid it? Own fault. Deer crossing the road and you hit it? Own fault. Asteroid fell out of the sky and hit you? Your own fault. Porsche driver COULD have anticipated that a foreign car is less experienced and may do silly things last moment. You can see the Porsche go off the gas earlier when M2 was on its line and started to accelerate when it moved out to the right. So there was no reckless behaviour from my point of view. Just very unfortunate split second wrong assumption and lack of awareness.

The other "interesting" question is who will pick up the bill. The barrier damage and other very expensive car. This is something for the authorities to decide - who is responsible for how much % of the accident and it may get nasty. The main reason I am mentioning this is a reminder that you are liable for yourself and others during the public sessions and some track days too. So be prepared and stay focused.
