killed my golf (and nearly me as well)
« on: 30 July 2005, 21:45 »
  thank f**k they used to make them like they still do now












happened on thurday 21st 9.30 pm met a polo on my side of the road both going about 45mph (60mph road)she came around a left hand corner behind anoher car and drifted into my side of the road ,no time to brake or swerve

me and the wife been in hospital most of the week she has very bad brusing and 4 broken ribs me i had broken collar bone ,ribs,and a right foot like James caan from that flim "Misery" Had it pin wih 3 pins on Monday now in plaster for 6 week before pins are removed then more plaster then lots of physo can't see me working until the new year gutting end of my show season and won't  be able to  drive my corrado for months

But this is the bit that's hard to take, she can,t remember what happened police calling it " a momentary lapse of concentration "and won't be pressing charges

so a momentary lapse of concentration equals driving on the wrong side  of the road and nearly killing us is ok by them but drifting 5 or so miles over the speed limit on a clear day with no injured bang 3 points and a fine somethings wrong somewhere

sh!t man, glad you got off as you did, not worser.....

momentary lapse of concerntration . . . . .  I read that as driving with out due care and attention, considering concerntration is another word for attention.... :undecided:  something aint right there, get the solicitors on it pronto..
