Things you don't expect to see on a Sunday drive out.....

 

[Ali]

What a fud! Obviously hit the brakes bang on the crest.

 

[bozothenutter]

that rear bumper would have hurt!

 

[Daniel]

Is it just me that wants to punch the woman in the passenger seat?!

Wtf was she doing the stupid *****!

Lol! I did wonder what she was doing holding on to his wrist after the incident.

 

[marinemackay2003]

Nice face full of grass and gravel

 

[Sir_Dave]

Lol! I did wonder what she was doing holding on to his wrist after the incident.

Probably going to hold her bf/husbands arm, whilst saying something along the lines of "oh my god, are you ok? F*ck me that was close!"

The evasive action was done at that point, so it seemed a perfectly normal reaction to me.

Especially after the 911's splitter tried to do a Massa on them lol!!

 

[Knuckles]

Jesus!

i noticed the stupid bint too

"we could be in a high speed collision here. I know, I'll impair the drivers mobility."

 

[Jaff.]

did he stop to check if the porsche driver was ok?

 

[Cub.]

did he stop to check if the porsche driver was ok?

Lols, appears not. Both just gave him the 'you f**king helmet' stare.

 

[Advikaz]

oops

 

[N0ddie]

From BTG:

A lot of people are commenting that the Megabusa should stop immediately. I'll dispense with the official version (you must stop) and go with some common sense. Would YOU stop there? With debris covering the entry and apex of a blind, fast, left-hander?

Maybe you'd want an uninsured English car to flatten you and your own car?
How about just looking ahead and making a REAL plan. This is what I'd do in this situation:

• Slow down, move to the right.
• Look for the ORANGE barrier paint that denotes a sheltered area. In this location there's a fantastic parking spot on the right before Aremberg.
• Park off the track
• Give your mobile phone with the emergency number (0800 0302 112) to the passenger, tell them to report the closest post number visible and what's happened
• If you have a flag and want to help; STAY BEHIND THE BARRIER and move back towards the oncoming traffic and the accident.
• Keep going past the accident until you are giving people sufficient time to slow down.

Of course, every accident is different and there might be factors that we don't know about. Like aliens.

That's all well and good but we know that CS law dictates you must stop immediately without any consideration of your own safety or that of vehicles coming around the blind bend/over the crest.

That was a proper heart in mouth moment.

Yeah I'd imagine it was more of a nervous reaction to what they'd just witnessed.

Lols, appears not. Both just gave him the 'you f**king helmet' stare.

They should've stopped really, but that corner is such a fast corner (120 in a Clio if pushing on) it's potentially an opportunity to get cleaned up by another car that's out of control on porsche debris. Tough call.

I'll be honest and upfront here, if that was me 'self preservation' would kick in and I'd pull up around the next corner.

 

[Fletcher]

Jesus that was close.

 

[cat171]

I read it as Megabus first time round expecting to see an actual coach on there & something happen. Then I saw a daft bint grab on to her dudes arm

 

[leeds_182]

Nice nail polish.

 

[Addicted]

That could've been a whole lot worse!

And flol at her holding his arm after, that could have also gone badly, though I guess it s**t her up!

 

[Mr Plums]

She reminds me of

The porsche was still spinning in a cloud of smoke in front of them, they were hardly out of danger?? lol

 

[BoatNonce]

I expected this to be that clio video.

Savage shunt though, must have been doing some when he lost it.

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Any word on the Porsche driver? Ignoring the fact he now has a very large insurance bill and ring repair bill.

 

[NorthloopCup]

That had the potential to be all starting to go wrong at 160mph if he was on the pace. It feels fast in that section at 135 in a Clio, but when the Porsches overtake you it makes you feel like your doing about 70!!

 

[Adamm.]

Oops could of ended badly.

Lol at the people going on about the woman, she was clearly a bit scared, silly thing to do maybe but fear obviously took over common sense. Use your noggins guys.

I've been passenger in several accidents both on the road and on track. At no point have I even considered grabbing the drivers hand! Lol.

I'm sure every single person in the world acts the same way as you in similar circumstances too Daniel.. Lol.

I agree its stupid but come on, its not all that surprising that she did it if you use your head.

 

[Daniel]

Whatever.
