I know not really mk5 related but we all know we dont venture out that often from in here...
Anyone else watch Traffic Cops tonight - if you did, that Civic - WOW, he is a lucky git still breathing and I am guessing they both hoped to get away with it... suprising how far the cops will go to find out what went on checking CCTV etc
-
yes, was very shocking and makes you think twice about going too fast, People who like to write regular about having duels, may wanna think twice after watching that incident. Very shocking indeed. Goes to show its not worth it and those Blokes didnt intend to be caught, now face lengthy Bans and loss of jobs etc. Can easily ruin yours and anyone else's life.Cant believe a New Honda civic could fly!!.I expect Honda Civic owners will be boasting now!!. :smiley:
-
He was one lucky dude. :cool:
I think the outcome would have been a lot worse if it had been a vauxhall :sad:
Those wheels looked to big to me.
-
he was very lucky to get out that car. makes you think twice
-
I have lost very good friends, in crashes where the vehicles were doing a lot slower speeds than that car. He should count his blessings.

What happened I didnt see it? What channel is traffic cops on and is there a repeat?

It was on BBC 1 last night.
You can get it on the iplayer now - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00d1qd6/

i was amazed those 3 kids made it out of the Ibiza alive! Flew 99ft threw the AIR!! :shocked: :shocked:
fair play to the young lad he was honest and open about the fact it was his fault - lesson learned hopefully
-
Maybe the Honda F1 team should use Civics :grin:
They got the guy in the Z4 as he'd rang the accident in anon!!! Unlucky fella! 4 years driving ban too :shocked:
-
Didnt the one get a suspended 12month sentance aswell - he best stay out of trouble.
Guy in the BM though - you think if the coppers had found you they would know it was you - "nothing happened on the drive to the golf club", I'm shocked bla bla bla - they doesnt say anything, then they found out it was him that called... driving away from the accident where I assume he didnt know if they guy was dead!
-
^^ That's probably why he got such a lengthy ban. He must of realised they track him back via his phone? Numb nuts!
-
Nasty crash!!!! :sick:

....Thanks for the link, Steve :cool: - I missed the prog - It was a good one.
We all like to drive fast when we think the conditions allow and this shows how utterly stupid it is to race other cars and how important it is to be very focussed and not take risks.
-
Last nights show was certainly one of the best, god only knows how that guy got out of the Civic alive. Certainly makes you think twice about putting your clog down when you see the results.
The sentences they dish out are all over the place though, you hear of people who have killed people and received much lesser penalties!
Hats off to 18 year old though who admitted full responsibility for his accident!
-
I really want to see this now but cant because Im at work. Can we please stop talking about it, thank you :D
-
The old man and the 20 year old girl was just wrong right from the start, you knew it was something dodgy straight away. Im sure she was his play thing!
-
PS Sorry AlanD :laugh:
-
:rolleyes:
-
That was proper dead civic. Was shocked at him getting a 4 year ban thats mad. Hood rats that steal cars and ram the old bill were only given 2 year bans. :shocked:

I am working from home and was going to watch it tonight but I think an extended lunch break is in order now to watch it before I find out too much from this thread! :grin:
-
....Deffo worth watching - Much better than the usual Traffic Cops prog which can get a bit repetitive.
Every time I see such a prog I gain even more respect for the Police and emergency services.
-
Anyone wanna give a detailed account of what happened?
Didn't watch it and internet connection is slower than dial-up at mo!
-
never understood why people film themselves doing illegal things then post the evidence on the internet, some of the guys posting on cars i have beat on my gti may want to rethink their posts :huh:

These sum up the end result.

Bear in mind to end up there he managed to clear a 6ft Fence to end in hitting the roof on the house. :shocked:
-
....To fill in a little more detail of how it happened : - Honda lost control on a straight piece of road....Investigators and witness to an earlier overtake discovered a BMW had been chasing the Honda....CCTV in previous town identified the BMW Z4 and the owner was visited but denied any knowledge (on his way to play golf) though later was found to have anonymously informed emergency services of the accident. He was charged and found guilty of dangerous driving. The Honda driver claimed he had lost his memory in the accident but under questioning he remembered a lot of other details - I think he got banned 4 years. The house owners were away on holiday but the Honda had hit their house where they would have been sleeping. Both these drivers are scum imo.

wow - just goes to show bmw/ctr drivers really are dicks!
