woman in front car reversing out of parking space to do the school run......

I'd say someone stepped onto the zebra crossing without waiting for the cars to stop. (thats what your supposed to do) and the Prmireas excellant brakes stopped the car before the others who were too close could.

distinct lack of attention being paid!


DIY Si - 10/3/08 at 08:17 PM

Is the red car connected in any way?

pwnt

Ditto to Nib.

Peoples driving standards are appalling, the police seem ONLY to be interested in speeding because the government says they must, because it earns LOADSA money, and because its easy. Anything else is toooo difficult to prove, doesn't earn money and gets no brownie points for the chief constable.
People are also encouraged to take more risks with their driving because the modern features are marketed in such a way that the drivers 'feel' safer. What people forget is that the laws of physics are finite and from the best available conditions, things can only get worse. Slower reaction times, less grip, distraction, tyres not at/in optimum condition, brakes not in optimum condition, etc, etc.

I could go on for a loooooooonnnggggggg time about driving standards.............................

I did have to smile to myself about the ADR bodyshop courtesy car That and the man in the blue shirt doing a Stan Laurel impression,

Pezza - 10/3/08 at 08:42 PM

Parked up and a truck or something piled into the back?

Kelly Brook, who was staying at your house last night was putting her bra back on in full view from the same window???



Couldnt have been actually...........cos she was with me.

Haven't a clue actually.

Just saw the pic elsewhere on t'interweb and thought some of you might like it.

Sorry if anyone thought I might actually have a clue.


rusty nuts - 10/3/08 at 09:28 PM

I was going to suggest someone didn't put the handbrake on and rolled backwards

Don't worry - I've NEVER thought that of you!



(only joking - honest!)

I reckon the bloke at the back came in a bit hot and concertina'd the lot together. Well, it's as good a theory as all the rest...


K999NNY - 10/3/08 at 11:07 PM

Id say that the front car has stopped to drop somebody off on the zig zags (as its too close to the kerb) and either the next car hasnt seen an oncoming car or someone crossing the road when they have went to pass and done an emergency stop right into car one.

Learner driver in the primera was learning to reverse round a corner at speed

Clearly it is Newton's craddle using cars going horribly wrong.
