Gaz6002 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 That sounds horrific, although how did the central reservation get between the motorway and the slip-road? Scary stuff. Hope everyone involved is OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Supra-T Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Supra wrecked? Not A write off but it will be an uphill struggle to get her all patched up for supra pod!! Typical, just when everything starts to run smooth a f**king blind c*nt screws it all up!! I'm not happy at all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Supra-T Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Think he means the divider between the slip road and slow lane. That's the one, I haven't slept since... So please excuse my mistakes guys, I'm shattered!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Supra-T Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I don't know for sure yet, I haven't yet managed to gather myself and go have a look but from what I could see at night, it looks like the drivers side front wheel is buggered and there was a lot of oil on the floor when it was lifted so I'm guessing cracked sump? Also body work is fooked!! The bastard didn't even stop to see if I was ok or not!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Supra-T Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Well, I was prodding along in the left lane doing around 70 mph on my way home from a 12 hour shift at the hospital, so I was knackered as it was! Next thing I know, this huge Artic lorrie comes up beside me in the middle lane and indicates that he's going to shift in to my lane!! To my utter horror and disbelief he decides to switch lanes paying no attention to the tiny spec in his bloody mirror that is me!! To avoid getting turned into a pancake, I braked as hard as I could and swerved to the left to try and avoid the curb but to no prevail I went up and over the curbed isle taking the slip road, I parked up on the hard shoulder and tried to jot down his number plate but he was long gone... Time: ~5 AM Location: A406 westbound at the A12 junction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Are there no traffic cameras anywhere near the incident ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Supra-T Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I don't think so because there's a main one about a mile from where it happened!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo2810 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 That'll teach you to do 70 on the motorway..... Seriously though, I really hate idiots who don't check blind spot before changing lanes... At least you're unhurt. Could have been worse, alot worse.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Was it a foreign lorry, as you said it was over taking you at 70 mph:blink: Euro lorries are limited to 56mph, I know a few of the Irish lorries tend to not have restrictors, although they should have and he must of known you were there, as he was overtaking you:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Supra-T Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Your right, whenever I drive like a tit and rip the road to shreds nothing happens but when I try to drive like a civilised human being I'd get pulled over by the police or I'd hit a curb... Maybe when I drive like a tit it puts me in charge but when I drive normally other drivers feel the need to be more assertive and show me who's boss...?!?! I feel shit and I feel like giving up all together tbh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 It was a great British lorry If you have a general discription of the lorry at that time of the morning they should be able to find it on the cameras. Then Vosa can ask for the Tachos, according to what you are saying he was doing in excess of 70 mph, they will throw the book at him. It's classed a dangerous driving and they will remove his licence. Are the police involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Maybe when I drive like a tit it puts me in charge but when I drive normally other drivers feel the need to be more assertive and show me who's boss...?!?! I feel $#@! and I feel like giving up all together tbh... I think you're taking it too personally. I don't doubt that it's shaken you up though, it would do for me too. I don't think the lorry driver was trying to "show you who's boss", more like he was just being a dozy moron. Don't think of it like a show of assertiveness, but a demonstration of inattentiveness. I don't like being alongside another vehicle on a motorway for longer than necessary: too many penii out there who don't look where they're going and take an unintentional side swipe at you. Is there any/much damage to your car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Supra-T Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 The police are involved but I don't feel that they are taking the matter seriously to the point that I could feel that they were utterly delight when they saw it was a "jap car accident" I could hear their damn minds say 1 down a lot more to go...

Septic Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Sorry to hear this mate bit don't give up. I'm sure it can all be sorted out. I think its a good idea to have one of those cheap track day cameras constantly recording every time you drive in case of incidents such as this.
