This car must have thrown a wobbler as it was braking hard for the 20mph zone. https://i2-prod.hulldailymail.co.uk/...eople-died.jpg |

It is a straight residential road for about half a mile going down at about 1 in 20 and leading to a slight off camber bend. It's not that drivers lose control at the bend, I guess they see the sightline disappear and don't know where to go so they just go straight on. That is three dead in three days :-( https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news...n-dies-2790877 |

Why can't they bring themselves to say that a driver died after a display of terminal incompetence? They don't have this problem when a person on a bike does it. Don't they teach people to use the brakes before handing out licences? |

I once got into a massive tank slapper when I hit an iron cover in a fast curve, but I managed to avoid the oncoming petrol tanker. Could have been a very different outcome. |

That is why he bullies children with a chisel. |

Not necessarily. Do anything that takes energy out of the system. I once got into a massive tank slapper when I hit an iron cover in a fast curve, but I managed to avoid the oncoming petrol tanker. Could have been a very different outcome. Well, that's my original point. |
