martinmac Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 A very sobering reminder that being a good driver is sometimes not enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccaman Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Can hope they come out of it alright. As I get older I get more aware of other peoples shortcomings whilst driving. Have always tried to anticipate problems, but some like this are just unmissable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 All I can think of is how sorry I am for the lady in the BMW and the lady in the blue car, and how much I really hope the old guy is in a lot of pain right now. I can only go on the detail that's been given, and to that extent I have no sympathy for the blind bastard at all who should've actually bothered to look before entering a busy road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Scary. Same sort of thing happened to me once on the way to a car show, car immediately in front ended up on it's roof in the field by the road. Seeing something like that right before your eyes..... 'Sobering' is a very apt word. Hope all involved are relatively unscathed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 And the cold shiver that goes down your spine when you see an accident transpiring in front of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H5 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Scary this. And I bet the French thing claimed to have some wonderful NCAP rating but it is still made of tin foil. I'm not a fan of 4x4's but I do think there should be some standards that stop the French using plastic for body panels! Fingers crossed the elderly couple recover.
