I was on a main road waiting to turn right when an old boy pulled out from the road I wanted to go along and crashed into the drivers door. I was a little annoyed as it was a customers newish car. But I had a good witness as the car behind me was a cop car, and when they spoke to him he said he had broken his glasses and was going to the optician .
I also had a guy crash into the back of my tow van at a pedestrian crossing and the tow ball went right through his radiator and got "dog knotted" He didn't see the funny side when my other half suggested that he should throw a bucket of water over his car I was towing my Hot Rod to Wimbledon Stadium and some prat pulled out of a junction to my left and tried to get between the van and trailer. That was "interesting" as I was still doing about 30mph !!!!!!! |

After being taught by one of the country's best instructors and passing my test first time,still driving with the courteous mind set instilled in me three weeks previous,I decided that see-ing as nothing was too close behind that I would stop for the little old lady waiting at the Zebra crossing,got a nice wave and smile then BANG!**&^).No belts in the mid sixties,no head restraint either,the clown behind me obviously knew this because he hit me square on at 40 mph,I missed the old dear,who was a little peeved that I had just tried to run her over!.She really did not care that I had just suffered a fractured vertebrae in my the neck. So now when I see little old Lady's on the side of the road I------------

The worst accident I've been in was as a passenger in a mk1 Fiesta which, on a lane in Kent, got smashed all over the front of a Rover P4- the rover had a slighly dented wing and grill. I wasn't hurt but the driver of the Fiasco had a cracked vertebrae. |

My first and only crash was back in 1999 in my trusty Pug 205. I loved it at the time, but the experience of owning gradually newer cars over the years have since made me realise it was cr.. rubbish..
Anyhow, I was turning out of a minor road into a major in said Pug, but it was an industrial estate, so everyone had their boards out advertising their wares. Because of this I got mis-sighted. An unlucky split second. I did all the looks that I had been taught, but when I pulled out the first I knew was a bang and glass dancing across my bonnet. Funny thing accidents, you get a slow motion effect. Anyhow the guy wanted to knock my block off and tried to sue me for the damage, but his damage was minmal, mine was much worse. Funny thing is I saw him driving his car with the damage unrepaired two weeks later. Being such and old car I managed to get a replacement front wing brand new for 20 quid. Luckily I worked for a car dealership at the time who used a hydraulic ram to pull out the footwell and sprayed the new wing to match for nothing. I've always driven responsibly, which hopefully is a testament to my currently clean licence, although I am a fan of motorsport. The meaning of that sentence may not seem apparent, but my meaning is that these 'chavs' in their tricked out whatever like to cane it, but I find motorsport fans know that racing is racing and the road is the road. |
