Vids from about 200 yards from my house

banter general discussions etc

so who's the person talking over the video, oooh he's vry very very lucky, no he wasn't, he missed the bus but still hit the car 100 yards down the way.

agree that most of them shouldn't even be on the road, the l200 put off roaders to shame with his inability to drive it.

and another 4x4 who THINKS he's KING of the road, well we are!! mines fine on poo tyres. been out today. even gritted my road to aid other road users, also on a hill, but with a nasty bend.

instead of rubber necking at least i HELPED the drivers instead of the useful video you took. which really aided there day. :dance:

It was once said that the Devil would never dare to cross the River Tamar into Cornwall for fear of ending up as a filling in a Cornish Pasty.

Just a footnote to this one.

I made my wife watch those vids and explained what the drivers were doing wrong and what they should have done. I got the usual 'cars, boring crashes yawn, I've been driving for 15 years etc etc, on that bluddy frontera website again are you , blah blah.'

Got a text from her this morning saying that as she approached a large roundabout on the way to work she hit black ice and was skidding out of control into the back of the car stopped at the roundabout (2 of my daughters were in the car with her :( ) just before she was about to hit she remembered what she had been told and took her feet off all the pedals and just managed to steer around the car and came to a graceful rest up a low verge. No damage, no one died. Result!


So regardless of what others have said , I am grateful that these vids were posted and should be mandatory viewing for all drivers!

So It's not just Americans then.
But as someone said earlier....Why did nobody go to the top of the hill and stop the cars.
All you have to say is that the road is blocked by crashed cars belonging to idiots who think they can drive down it.
If you need something done quickly just ask a busy woman then get the f"k out of her way.

look, whats done is done, stop harping on about some going to the top of the hill, it may have been 5 miles away, it did not look that steep, at the end of the day the drivers coming down the hill should have know better,
