I nearly crashed today :(

[stevo]

Waiting to turn right at the lights, 2 cars coming towards me, no filter on my side.

Both cars slow down, for some reason I thought it was safe to go, then realise as I am committed to the manoevure, that there is a crash about to happen....

Foot hard to the floor, cue lots of wheel spin, and the terrano shooting across the junction.

Complete misjudgement from me, crash averted by the power of the terrano, and the emergency stops of the 2 cars coming towards me.

So, to the 2 drivers that nearly embedded themselves in my car, I apologise.

I haven't crashed a car since 1985, whether thats to do with my driving, or other people's, I'm not sure, but it was very close today.

Hang on, you haven't blessed the public roads yet with your driving skills, alone yet...:augie

At the rate you are going, you will have wrecked 50++ cars by the time you retire, assuming you are lucky enough to live that long.:doh

I hope you still have them too or is that two...:lol

I guess a 4x4 is easier to roll... Seen a few on UTUBE, they seem to happen really slowly when off road, just starting to go then.... WHAM over and over.
Centre of Gravity is quite high.

THIS IS NOT A CHALLENGE RYAN....:doh

 

[zippy656]

THIS IS A CHALLENGE RYAN....:lol

Well i just had to

 

[firebobby]

They say the new cash for crash thing is a driver (the bad guy) flashes his headlights, you (the good guy) think, oh, he's letting me go....then the flasher puts his foot down and crashes into you.
It's a new theme on the pulling away from a junction, just as the car in front pulls off, he jams the brakes on and you rear end him....big pay out on the insurance
when viewed on TV, most of the culprits are foreign....what a surprise

 

[96terrano]

THIS IS NOT A CHALLENGE RYAN....:doh

hmmm! spoil sport:lol:lol:lol:lol

Driving used to be a pleasure, these days you have to be aware of not just the idiots but the scammers as well, happy days, Rick

 

[jims-terrano]

You were lucky enough to drive away from this one. We've all done it that's why they are called accidents. Don't beat your self up about it, it was a mistake and that's how we learn.

Yes, I've also noticed theirs a lot of twats On the road, just last week actually mum and I were driving around a mini roundabout and this boyracer pulled out from the junction when he was supposed to wait causing mum to have to slam On the anchors so much so that the ABS triggered, the twat also had to brake, and just gave us a dirty smirk as the cars nearly met hard. Anyhoo, I rolled down the window and yelled I think you need to 're sit you're test mate, flipped him off then we drove off, he then proceeds to follow us folow us into Tescos getting stupidly close and revving his engine, violemtly.....a modified saxo:lol well, we got his number and reported him, followed us back out again and for another 6 miles just revving and getting stupidly close...probably inches at the traffic lights, anyway, as soon as we got into the motorway, mum booted it, the turbo howled and we left him for dead

Don't mess with us....
