If you're the woman who just pulled into the main road (Broadgreen Liverpool) *right* in front of my black car, OPEN YOUR BLOODY EYES WOMAN BEFORE YOU KILL SOMEONE!!!!!!

:mad:

On a brighter note thank God for ABS and BAS - frankly I am amazed I stopped!!!! The benz performed brilliantly :D

About a week after I totalled my w202 last year some woman drove out right in front of me, going across the road. I wouldn't have minded if she'd pulled out and gunned it but she pulled out without looking and then stood on the brakes, leaving her stopped in the middle of the road and me a few metres away at about 30mph! I stood on the brake pedal with both feet ;) and with ABS kicked in I steered onto the pavement and then back onto the road again. I just shook my head at her, rolled my eyes and drove off, she sat there for about 20 seconds maybe before setting off, she looked really shocked and justifiably so. WAKE UP WOMAN! Looked like she was driving kids to school as well :eek:
 
poor kids


Saw an accident about a year ago just outside the Crooked Chimney pub between Hatfield and Wheathampstead. Basically the woman pulled out and was hit side on by a car travelling about 60mph. Unfortunately her kids were in the back of the car and not strapped in, one of the saddest things I have ever witnessed, a small girls body lying 30mtrs up the road with a tiny blanket covering her head whilst a policeman stood next to it crying.
Having 2 children myself it really upset me, I'm a tough sort apparently, and I shed a tear, still can't get that image out of my head though.
Turned out the woman was drunk, lost one daughter in the crash and tried suing the Police and ambulance service as they didn't get there quick enough to save her daughter.

Why are people so bloody stupid, cant type what I really want to say.
 
Its not nice to see an accident ata ll (especially when there a fatality). On Wed noon saw a poor woman get knocked over by a big heavy rigid lorry - because it had so many wheels it went over her twice crushing her head (enough said...). I'm still shaken by it and really feel for her and her family.
 
I had a similar episode to Shude a few years back - a woman pulled out in front of me (while at 50 - 60) from her drive, saw me and stopped. Could see the kids in the back so aimed for the dirt bank at the side of the road.

Totalled my car - she had a scrape on the corner of the rear bumper where I clipped her. She threw a wobbly ("Look at my car!) but police wrote afterwards to advise that she was being prosecuted and said that "your actions certainly saved lives".

Pity that people can't takes an extra 2 seconds from their lives to look and make everything safer for all.
 
my passengers and me were wearing seatbelts when i got hit in side at 60mph else wed all probs be dead. one of passengers wasnt wearing a seatbelt at start and i said you put your seatbelt on because i dont want to suffer because of you being sat in the back. i didnt used to wear a seat belt on short journeys before i could drive i used to think well i can put me hand out bit quick if in front i see the advert with rear pas killing front which made me wear belt when in the back but when i started driveing i always where a seat belt now where ever i am in car and insist anyone behind me does and anyone in the car im driveing.
accident has made me think a lot more and worry. after seeing what a fiesta can do to a mercedes side impact i mean what could a van do or even a lorry :eek: or though the advert for new fiesta does say rock solid dont argue with the new fiesta they really are strong the advert is no lie.
