Driving Standards

How did that audi actually physically manage that? Unless it's the sort of bollards that sneak up on unwary drivers from underneath???

Even at speed that is pretty special.

Fuck knows but there’s no way the driver wasn’t speeding as reported and was just blinded by the sun.

I feel like the bollards and the reduction to 20mph has just given the dicks more of a challenge.

There’s a crossroad junction at the bottom and we regularly hear skids and big crashes.

Was it a local?

It’s not the people across the road but definitely a local. 7.30am on a work day on a well used rat run.

After extensive real world testing, I can confirm, vaping while driving is distracting.

They crashed into the kerb which lifted the car a little, and then hit the outer bollard, which bent forward with the impact. The car or some component under it then rode up the bollard. The combination of the bollard's resting point and the front-heavy nature of the car left it nose-down at that stupid angle. I wouldn't like to try and judge speed from the outcome but I reckon you could probably manage that at 30mph or less if you didn't slow down at all.

This happened near me where people drive like absolute bellends.

The road is 20 mph and is used as a rat run.

Apparently the driver wasn’t speeding and was blinded by the sun. Hmmm

Mate of mine got banned for doing 100 on a motorway, first offence as well. 100 in a 50 is well worthy of a ban.

Agreed. Snake Pass as well. Single track, bendy, hilly....nah.

That's a bit difficult in my mobile in a public place...A. it's a stupid big 4x4 thing and B. People don't seem to appreciate the dangers and C. People don't equate driving offences with criminal records, which of course they are not. If I got points, I could still do my job. If I got a criminal record I would lose my job.

He must had done the most god-awful fart to need that much air freshener

It does alert you by helpfully having a warning sign 'COCK' on the front (and rear) of the vehicle.

Don't know how the hell this happened, but did the lorry driver not hear a little know as he hit the VW?

That's not the first time that's happened. Someone cuts up an HGV, gets clipped by it, rotates and is pushed along in front, out of normal sightlines. In terms of HGV mass and power, a car ain't that big a deal.

There is always the possibility that the driver knew and thought fuck it, I guess

Some cunt driving a local care in the community minibus has just done this to our car:


They have admitted full responsibility, and a hire car will arrive in the morning. The garage says with Xmas on the way it may be a month before they get it fixed. With the hire car being an X5, ouch to their insurance.

that's what I thought - how could the lorry driver not know ? and if they can't tell

Bahnhoff. They seem to have knocked out one fog light and scratched the bumper. Are you sure that they will be able to get all that damage sorted in only a month?

I know it has, just amazed that a lorry driver wouldn't know they were pushing a car along

A HGV tractor like that pulls up to 44 tonnes. A Mk5 Golf weighs about 1.5 tonnes.

Visibility is poor:

They're noisy. Add all that up and it turns out it's possible to push a car along without immediately noticing.

The front spoiler is split in two, the thing that squirts water on to the headlights is fucked, as is the headlight itself, plus the bonnet and wing are now mid-aligned and the suspension is fucked.

Would the lorry drivers not have heard the contact?
