I would hazzard a guess that speed was the contributing factor in this incident, maybe the other driver looked before pulling out and thought when they first seen you that you were far enough away from them that it was safe to pull out.

Maybe i was a tad harsh with the knob part but think how you would feel if this happened outside your house where your kids might have been near, im only thinking along this lines as currently bothered by a twat in a civic with a fucking stupid loud exhaust blatting up and down our road like a moron and there are always kids playing around, speeding around in built up areas is a receipe for disaster.


I take back the knob comment and will accept my good and proper.

Dave, I dont know you but I feel for you fella, regardless of the circumstances. No one was seriously hurt and thats the most important thing.

Ignore the people that make stupid comments and 'hazard a guess' at what happened, no one was there and its nobodys business anyway.

Gutted another one is gone .

Hope it all works out for you mate

Coco16i, do your self a favour and leave this thread.

and from the conclusive posts from the people involved they have divulged that the women pulled out with out looking, end off.


Accidents happen, due to speeding or not speeding. Dave's isnt the 1st and certainly wont be the last ever in this world.

heard about this last night dave, totally gutted for you mate.

but made up at the same time that all involved are all ok, like said lump of metal can be replaced.

bit silly peoples cunt remarks in the thread, but what i would of said has been said by marco etc...

even after seeing the accident i know i'd rather be in a car and feel safe with dave than 90% of the other people i know off here. onwards and upwards mate, mk2 time.
