Default Car crash - Clio VS transit.........Who wins...............

I got in from work yesterday and crashed on my bed and turned on a film (transformers) half way through the film i started to fall asleep untill i herd this massive crashing sound. so i looked at the Tv screen and it was a talking part (boring) then i heard aload of people outside my house saying oh sh*t no way. So i look out from my bedroom balcony and seen a smashed up clio. So i quickly put my trainers on and shouted down stair to my family that theres a crash.

On my road there a small junction and you have to give way. this junction will always have smashes every year garrented. as i looked at the clio i turn to my right and seen this..........................








Both drivers came out un scratches just a bit shocked. however i heard the girl who owns the clio saying on the phone that her car was mot'd in alperton 3 days ago and as she went to stop the brakes failed. I have heard of a garage in alperton that will pass any car for an MOT even if the brake were less than 1.5cm thick (dangerous)

also involved in the smash was 2 parked car a 2007 honda civic hybrid and a 2003 volvo D5.

warning when you see a sign saying give way - you give way.

I'm lucky because thats where i sometime park my car and if it was there i would be MEGA P**SED

Yeah thats true and take their chances. even the coppers can't be bothered to stop so as the get to the junction they put the sirens on, cross over then turn them off.

Blimey! That's certainly some smash but glad everyone was ok.

We always wait for that smash noise outside my road. The turning for my road is literally on the brow of a hill so you dont see it til you're coming over it. The number of times I've seen bikers overtake coming up the hill is just insane. Sadly we've had a few of them end up on the windscreen of oncoming cars and straight over a fence and into the field opposite

Its kinda scary living in an accident blackspot.
