Please learn......
« on: 13 December 2006, 19:52:17 »
If you insist on driving for most of the year with the ABS/TC light on, and drive to close to the car in front....


One day the driver in front (BMW) may stop 3/4 of a car length before the white line at an island!

Then when you depress the brake pedal  FIRMLY, your ABS will not work and you may slide straight to the scene of the accident  :'(

Last night, after 29 crash free years, I became a crash statsitic.

No one to blame but me  :-[


The bumper on the BMW had moved about 2mm, on the wheelarch/bumper gap.

My V grill will need the fixing holes repairing and I now have an Emerald green bonnet as the first 3" of the white one was folded down onto the slam panel  :(

Bit of rain, greasy road less than 20 MPH and not enough caution

Bit of a bugger really

Still at least I wasn't doing travelling at a higher speed  ;)

Aww unlucky! :(

It's never too good to hear of a crash. Hopefully the BMW driver doesn't try any funny stuff!

Good luck getting it repaired!! :)

Not good to hear.  Glad its the car and not flesh and blood.  Tin is easy, though expensive, to replace.  The other isn't...

No sign of reversing lights on the Beemer?   :-?     :D

My mate bought a 2.2 DTi in Star silver on a 53 plate.......picked it from the dealer drove it round the corner(and i mean round the corner) about 4 miles in total....wasn't paying attention and.......

BANG!! 45mph right up the a*se of a Saxo!!  It had a complete new front end at 16 miles!!!

Sorry to hear that M8...personally I never put any of them on, you find they kick in automatically if the car starts to go, rear end, skid etc..
