My Martha might be dead....

[DaveN]

Last night on the way home from work with my 10 month old daughter in the back, while stopped at some lights 800 meters from my house, I was run into by a drunk, uninsured polish bloke at 6pm in the evening.
The back of the car is quite messed up though the important thing is we are fine, if a little sore.

The point is "seat belts" wear them, buckle your kids in and keep them safe. The car is up in a dealer getting accessed so I'm not sure what the story is yet.
The fecking seat belt restraints that explode to pull the seat belt works and may have prevented so injury, the next few days will tell the tale, our cars are good at protecting us well worth the premium.

Happy though I am that we are okay the fecking hassle now in sorting a repair or possibly a write off really pisses me off. Our Eastern European brothers/sisters need to cop and get over their drink driving culture.

Stay safe.

Sorry to hear about that Dave, but glad your all ok! 

[Makaveli]

Glad you are OK and it is something that everyone should - put your seatbelt on EVERYTIME you are in the car as all it takes is one drunk idiot to smash into you and you could be very seriously hurt.

Hope you get it sorted out quickly.

[joesgti]

stupid f000kin polish c"nt, cant stand em 

[NEWEY]

glad your all ok. thats the main thing. i never understood people that drink drive

[chrissyr32]

Loads of eastern europeons round my way driving clapped out motors on polish numberplates,never have seat belts on,always overloaded,cars sh!te.
You cant tell me they have insurance!! and when something does happen its the old"me not understand english" act daft routine.FACT 

Coppers never do nowt it pisses me off.But when i get caught doing 34 in a 30 i get 3 f**king points and a fine.

Sorry for the rant but thats how i feel.We spend thousands of our hard earned on something we are passonate about yet we get these arseholes running into us.

Hope you get sorted mate andhope your daughters fine

....This is a very worrying thread. Who the heck is Martha? I thought you were reporting the death of your daughter at first and am truly glad that's not so (having lost my child son).

The other worrying thing is the Nazi type of remarks about Polish people - They aren't all as described in this thread.

Anyone who drink drives or has no insurance deserves the fullest weight of the law, whether Polish, Pakistani, or English.

[Pirelli_P]

Ahh man sorry to hear it! I have nightmares that when mine arrives in 3/4 weeks something is going to happen to it!

On a lighter note, Martha is a brilliant name for your car! I need to come up with a worthy name!

Sorry to hear this, all so common nowadays though - people with no insurance!  The annoying thing is its us legitimate people that end up paying for it.

Driving without insurance = scum.

I am sorry for any offence that may have been felt, I also 100% agree that all Polish are not criminals, I have a couple of Polish friends.
This thread is not supposed to be a racist attack and if it is can the Moderators lock it off.

Keep safe wear a belt.
