SANDA Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Great big Skid marks, and the front of the pub/porch bit looks like it's been stoved in...???

Cret Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Yeah, I could have sworn the skids were double width ones but maybe they weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANDA Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Yeah, I could have sworn the skids were double width ones but maybe they weren't. It was definately a car, i saw it happen, it was one of those hard top convertible expensive types, the guy has been treated in hospital but he is ok. He overtook me at some speed and he crashed a few seconds later, it was like bonfire night with the sparks as he hit the wall and porch, then a big ball of fire, luckily it went out within a couple of minutes. AGAIN HE WAS SO LUCKY TO WALK AWAY WITH JUST A FEW CUTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would cut down on the high speed crashes, and help improve parking!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sausages Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Its about time the Govt got a shed load of Fiat Cinquecento's or similar for everyone. They could be birthday gifts. Or maybe they could give them out with our tax rebates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many teenagers immediately go from passing their test into a top of the range Nissan-Satsuma turbo-nutter-barstard-of-a-car that mummy and daddy are paying the insurance on?? I think if someone thought about it a bit, we could be very green, and also cut down on the accidents substantially. Because of the HP of a smaller car, there may be no need for an all Island speed limit!! I believe there has been a crash out around St Johns to Peel this morning?

homarus Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Great big Skid marks, and the front of the pub/porch bit looks like it's been stoved in...??? Heading for a wall at 80-90mph I'd expect skidmarks on the drivers seat as well??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget there's an R-plate system which limits new drivers to 50mph. The reason bikes are restricted to 125's is because you can drive em by yourself on a provisional.

R2...we all know that doesn't mean anything. local garages are retiscent to de restrict 125's even after you have passed a test, probably because they could be sold on with the de-restriction far too easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
