My wifes Rover 25 is a 2001 car and its not got ABS You would think it would be standard on all cars

My 2000 25 has ABS as standard...   ...wonder if Rover/BMW were trying to cut costs on later ones?

Oddly, the crappy 51 plate focus didn't  

The Rover has only got a drivers airbag as well which IMHO is cost cutting gone mad

Good to hear you're ok Terry Sh*it happens but lumps of metal on wheels can be repaired or replaced a damn sight easier than us frail humans

Sorry to hear of your accident Tezray, good to hear your alright though  

[Tezray]

Thanks again guys, the neck seems to be getting a bit better now  

When i think back to it i really wish i had used cadence braking, but it all happened so quickly (as they all say!). It's so stupid because i knew i didn't even need to brake, i just reacted. I'll get some pics up of the lantra and mr2 soon, still figuring out my new phone....

As for insurance, nope i was only TPFT   I've only ever insured myself third party because i thought if my car got hit it wouldn't be my fault! Cocky i know lol but that's my first crash since passing 4 1/2 years ago. I also think ABS should be fitted as standard to all cars, especially with the condition of our roads and the kind of weather we get. I'm very surprised cars are still being built without it to be honest  

Anyway, i'm ok and no one else was involved or injured so i've come out of it very well.....and yes i think it's probably done me some good as well! I think some people (including myself) can be over-confident and think they're indestructable. I'm glad it was only me in the car, if my girlfriend had been in the passenger seat i'd feel awefull, although she's suddenly got very nervous being in the car with me!

TBH i think we all need a crash (not a major one) now and then to keep our driving in check.....its very easy to become over confident......i crashed my merc a couple of years ago......just because of not double checking at pulling outa a junction, that all was clear..i pulled out into a car coming at 40mph!!..it was a case of i was in a hurry and a quick glance both ways...thought it was clear but it wasnt!!..now i always double check both ways are clear before pulling out...

Glad you are ok Terry and have learnt from it
