lockys96 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 and thats only 25mph, jeez. a lot of damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterJ Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 and thats only 25mph, jeez. a lot of damage Yip, thats what I thought - it didn't help that the brakes seems almost useless! The bumper was ripped off by the shrub, and a fence post did the damage to the light and the bonnet. When the car landed after bouncing on the kerb I did try and stear it away from a 10 foot ditch with a drainage reserviour at the bottom of it. Looking at the tire marks I just missed it! given I was sideways it could have rolled into the water... I've been going over it in my head - and looking at photos - I can quite work it out. Maybe I should wait until I stop feeling sick! Complaint has been made to the council its getting picked up now to be assessed (by an Arnold Clark Honda garage)... Thanks again Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I'm not a big fan of our litigious society, but...... most construction contracts (at least all the ones I administer) will require the contractor and his subbies to limit mud spillage onto surrounding roads. This job will have, somewhere, a set of minutes from the pre-contract meeting detailing exactly what steps will be taken to hose down and clean truck wheels before they leave site. Now that's a contract between client and contractor and you're not party to it but given your slow speed and the resultant crash, maybe a lawyer can call up this as evidence for your case in a claim for compo.

Thanks Rob! The police did say that it down to the construction company to keep the roads clear. This clears that up! I'm waiting for the council to get back to me (3 days apparently), but I'll keep this in mind! Thanks again Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Flat4_ire Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I was travelling to work (same as every morning), but as I was straighting up I hit a patch of mud on the road and spun! must have only been doing about 25mph - but as soon as it landed (after bouncing over the kerb) it just kept going - no brakes! Typical roads round a building site. These construction companies should take more responsibility for the state of the roads round their sites! Front corner is a mess. I'm gutted Hopefully its fixable! Jamie spun out at 25mph? are u sure man? i know the feeling cos i mangled my gorgeous €23000 2000 plate toyota altezza a year and half ago on a slippy bend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 spun out at 25mph? are u sure man? I know that roudabout well and I would be surprised if he was even doing 25 as it's very small and very tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
