Makes considering a roadhawk a worthwhile investment.

Amazing!! :o :o :o :o :o

How stupid and dangerous to other drives some people can be! >:( >:( >:( >:(

Was she drunk? :-? :-? :-?   It is so difficult to drive on the wrong side of a dual carriageway with all road markings, and the shape of the entry into the slip road, going against you when joining one ::) ::) ::)  But I have personally seen too many idiots (usually very elderly) doing it! >:( >:( >:( >:(

I've had a roadhawk fitted for nearly 2 years now. Runs all the time and I, generally, forget about it... until needed as "evidence" on 2 occasions now it has been useful.

It proved I was stationary when the idiot reversed into the side of me.. even though he was not visible, the impact, both vibration and noise, were recorded and the visuals showed me not moving. result .. the insurers coughed up in full.... even though it took nearly a year... :(

Second time was when I was traveling behind other cars and a prat decided to change lanes without warning (or looking) and took out the car 3 in front of me. No-one injured but the road blocked by wreckage. When PC Plod turned up I was able to playback the incident on the laptop - fortunately I had it with me - suddenly all attitudes as to who was at fault changed .. ... :) I was asked to forward a copy of the clip, which I did, but never heard anything ... I'm guessing the prat copped a plea.

Expensive .. but IMHO worth it.

Accident waiting to happen?..... :-/ :-/.I propose a separate driving test for women. It should be an"automatic fail" if any woman is observed applying her make up during the test period......WOMEN....KNOW YOUR PLACE... :y

Yes Mr Steve. The smaller female brain and the lack of spatial awareness is always going to put the girlies at a disadvantage. Not to mention the emotional problems that come with being a woman. How many crazed bints are driving around whilst suffering from PMT/PMS?. Frightening!!!...  :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ ::) :)

Which reminds me. I'd better text wifey soon. She has one of those coupes with doors like sails and it's very windy at the moment. Also, the handle is very close to the hinge and she hasn't got the strength to close it, never mind hang on to it in a force 9. :(

my wife is a much better driver than me - her years of hammering a succession of Midgets, Spitfires, Capris, AX GTs and MX-5's round the twisty b-roads of kinrosshire I guess - she'll buy a car for handling and cornering above all else  :y

I nearly had an accident on the a449 at goldthorn hill traffic lights last week when a learner biker decided to drive on the opposite side of the road of the dual carrigeway towards myself and a bus...... i was in the right hand lane and the bus in the left hand lane and for some stupid reason he just went from his side of the road at the lights and head on towards us.... luckily for him there was the far right slip road for turning right and he went down that..  all i could see in my rear view mirror was cars suddenly veering right to left to get out of the way... he must of gone about 300 to 400 yds before he realised his mistake and managed to pull over and turn around safely and come back up the daul carrige way the correct way.... somehow i dont reckon he will stand much chance of passing his bike test..... ::) ::) ::) ::)

Having now managed to see the clip (for some reason FF doesn't seem to want to show any Flash/YouTube footage unless from the YT site) I think the Lorry driver should be commended for not obliterating the Corsa :y :y
