HRH crash

[David404]

I see he got a new car in less than 48 hours.

I note that the occupants of the other car have not even received an appology.

Bet the owners of the other car are still fighting with insurance co and going through all the usual faff to get back on the road after an accident.

Note to Kia - great PR opportunity here, go give the Kia driver a shiney new car and bunch of flowers.

How do you know it aint a set up, it is starting to have that flavour about it, let's get someone to blast past the dude on the way out in the evening one day when the sun is in his Fiats with flashes eyes...?

I'm seriously starting to smell something, reinforced by the message from them to them...

If as I suspect that both Insurance Company's will be arguing the toss as to who was to blame then him or selected lacky won't be sending any Apologies as an Apology would be admitting Fault!

Just bonkers.

And you sound to me like the sort of guy whom I would leave the pub to avoid. For the record, though, I very much doubt we have ever frequented, or ever will frequent, the same pub; this is at least as much of a satisfaction to me as I am sure it is to you...


Amen .

 

[rf065]

Yep, read the thread and attachments. She was miles away and ploughed straight into him - cause she is a below average driver.

I read the lady passenger claiming they saw him 150 yards away, but if I told my wife our living room was 150 yards long she would not argue!

 

[WDB124066]

Yes. Would she argue if you told her the TLVF's are organising and paying for North Africans to jump the ditch into Italy and into the UK...?

If they are doing that then why not aim a missile loaded with estrogen right at him, he has patterned behaviour; this time, this location. It is easy as man, sorry wo-man....Just make sure there is a baby in the back as well.

They must think we are stupid.

 

[E55BOF]

Some of us may not be stupid, but would appear to have more than one screw loose. Don't stop; you makes Oi laugh...

Fixed that for you... (Sort of; I don't have the IT skills to edit it to perfection...)

THIS Kids, is why you should never do drugs!

Blinded by the sun is a neat way of putting it so you don't have to drop one of your subjects in it. Fact is she had plenty of time to avoid the Landy but didn't - why?

It hinges on the highway code which states that the vehicle on the main road has precedence over any vehicle emerging from a side road. This right of way convention is necessary on such uncontrolled junctions otherwise vehicles on the main road would have to constantly slow down for vehicles waiting at junctions to join the main flow of traffic. I'm sure the women driver will have noted the presence of the freeelander at the junction and in an ideal world a wise person might have lifted off the throttle a bit and even covered the brake as already intimated but you can't expect her to be psychic! For those who have been unlucky enough to be involved in such incidents there are usually a few seconds of lucidity prior to collision where you know there's going to be an accident but due to the dynamics of the situation there's nothing you can actually do to about it having crossed what might be termed the " event horizon"

 

[WDB124066]

Agree 100% grober, I've been there once on a push bike at serious speed.

I can say that it takes very little time to sus a car out for me personally, I know if they are going to be trouble or not, I know when there is a cop often seconds before one appears, I know what is behind me at all times, I remember every corner, every car I overtook, and the road surface condition on a 5 hour drive, and can recall it days after the drive, and so on. Most of my friends share the same "feeling/s capabilities". If you are alert and have all your senses acting together, focused they create a sixth sense that most people can tap into if they are concentrating on what they are doing. I know one or two women who are good at this in a car - unfortuantely most women rely on other skills to survive in a car. How many women would know what driving to the horizon is, yet it is such a fundamental thing and especially in this case.

How many drivers will see another driver can't see because of the sun and make allowance, I do all the time, just like a go left when there is a bike on the right side of the road to give traffic more room. Women do not do those things. Those things would have prevented this accident I am sure.

From what I’ve read it was an armoured version of the Freelander - If this is so I wonder if the armour playing in a vehicle with already high ground clearance has a detrimental effect in raising the COG ?

Not surprisingly, there has been quite a lot of speculation as to whether the Freelander was armoured. However, the revenue weight recorded by DVLA is exactly the same as for a standard vehicle. I have the same model/age Freelander and the revenue weights are identical at 2505 kg gross.

I may be wrong, but I would have thought armour would have lowered the CoG, if anything, because of the extra weight in the floor pan and side panels.

So what?

They did receive an apology...indirectly through the police. The passenger stated she was all excited because the Queen may have rung her...brain dead or what? Would my wife be expected to ring the other driver/occupants in the event of an accident that I caused? Is it normal that even I would apologise before the facts have been established. remember this...your own insurance company and other advisers tell yo to say nothing.

PP got a new car the next day...he can afford it. Many a footballer involved in an accident would also have a new car the next day...so what? What is the "chip on the shoulder" point about all of this?

PP had an accident, the first I believe, for a man driving longer than anyone else in the UK...so, only other mortals who have not had an accident have the right to comment...the rest, wise up...you are just playing class politics.

The point about Kia is a good one. No such thing as bad publicity.

 

[E55BOF]

.....I remember every corner, every car I overtook, and the road surface condition on a 5 hour drive, and can recall it days after the drive....

Gosh! I never knew NZ had only one very long straight road and four cars in total...

 

[Deletedmember130310]

It has been reported, by HRH’s own admission, that he was blinded by the direct sunlight when pulling out .

I don't see how this could be the case as both drivers were facing into the sun - PP was turning left into the sun and the other car, on the main road, was coming from his right ,also into the sun...

 

[Stratman]

Haven't you heard, it's all a communist plot to discredit the perfect royals.

 

[WDB124066]

Hole in one!!!

THIS Kids, is why you should never do drugs!

And THIS Children is naive, a difficult concept to grasp at first I'll admit. Fancy thinking a creative imagination is drug related! This isn't Alice in Wonerland you know....

Do you know we used the same 60 60 60 arrow head for a million years till someone had a joint and swept the tips back. Tis true. We then ran for another million years before they had another and put barbs on it. Drugs are good, have a tea on me.
