I had to take a detour to avoid the Aerosmith traffic, so I got off I-275 at Five Mile. The speed limit there is a 40 to 50 mph transition and I was doing that at the time. I was in the left lane when I approached this intersection and with a green light. As I get near the intersection, a lady in a black Camry decided to make a right turn on red. That would have been fine, however at the last moment, she decided to turn into the lane I was in. So, I had to brake and swerve over into the right lane to avoid hitting her. I ended up fish tailing a little bit, but I got it under control just fine.
If I was in the right lane, I wouldn't have been able to avoid her. Had I turned sooner, I would have hit her. Not braking I would have hit her. Turning left would have resulted in me bouncing of the guardrail and into her. Had she have waited to turn, nothing would have happened. If she would have just stayed in her lane, nothing would have happened.
I'm just fine, but still pissed.

People do this right to to left lane and also left turn to right lane out here all the damned time. So annoying. It happens so frequently that I see people stopping and not heeding to right of ways in desperate attempts to avoid ignorant "accidents".
Glad you're okay though.

My brakes, suspension and tires are all relatively new with my suspension being very new. The problem is that I over corrected a bit on the counter steer and my stupid CUT THE POWER!!!!! traction control kicked on.

What kind of car do you have? Also the Cut power BS in traction control is idiotic and why it's allowed I don't know.

Racing School kicked in. And my little brother syndrome of the flinching at sudden movements.

1996 328i manual sedan. It was the first year for traction control and it actually recommends turning it off in the snow.

You need to come up to the northern burbs, hang out for a bit. Don't bring the BMW.
Steal a car, or even buy this; http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/cto/4574788450…
The best part of the car is that it's caged, and that will serve you well in Mason, West Chester, and Symmes. Especially Symmes.

Ugh i HATE that kind of tcs, it scares me when it kicks in, because it is so un natural for a car to behave like that. I ALWAYS roll with it off.
