“On a rainy day, the traction control system on my 1999 Bmw 328I failed under stress. I did not notice a turn on a country road and therefore went into it too fast. The traction control system first pulled me off the road onto the inside of the turn, where the vehicle lost control on the gravely shoulder. At this point the traction system may not have failed yet. However, I spun out leftward, and then to the other side. I crossed on-coming traffic, and gained control before leaving the asphalt and potentially hitting a telephone pole. …”
