Enfield said:Bit of a crappy arguement. What if you need to accelerate to avoid someone T-boning you?
Oh please... accelerating to stop someone from T-boning you is not going to happen. You're either going to swerve or brake hard - if the other car is going so fast that neither of these methods work, then accelerating sure as hell isn't going get you out of the way.
I know you've said you accelerated out of the way of an X5, but I'm sure that braking or swerving would have got you out of the situation - unless you drive a rocket propelled Murcialago which I'm sure you don't. If he really was travelling at such a speed that he would have T-boned you, then I'm pretty sure you'd not have a drivers side door anymore.
When are you ever going to be in the situation where you're slowing down, and a car is travelling quickly perpendicular to you?
