And you would've probably seen me on Today Tonight's Bad Driver episode with the slow motion walking, dangerous threat to the community music and a stamp on me saying something like "Dangerous P-Plater."

Still, I reckon that the thread has taken a mind of its own and may demonstrate how dangerous some stupid behaviour can be...

now i really wish i had a picture of one of my old highschool teachers when he rolled the minibus on camp off the side of a steep hill :P
he decided he could tow a trailer up a steep hill and soon found out the wheels just spin. so in his effort to turn around or reverse back or something. he managed to go off the side of the road and roll the bus a few times. that was years ago and untill the day i left the story was still being told every year. |

Focus
As mum was crossing the road, a green commodore t-boned her (she ran a red) and managed to spin the Focus 360 degrees. She argued, went to court and we won 100%. Fiesta Traveling inbound on the Monash at 12am going 100kmph, lady in a Laser rams the Fiesta from behind, makes me swerve then comes back and collects my side. Was guessing she was traveling way faster than I was. Called police to the scene and pressed charges against her. Late night, behind my friend at the lights. He edges forward and I mistake that for taking off. Took my foot off the gas (auto) and rolled into him.

Keepleft: Clear night, freeway was empty, middle lane. When I asked her what happened, she said she was trying to light a cigarette, but couldn't find her lighter and used the car lighter instead. But then again she looked like she was off her face.

The truck was going around the large roundabout and just happened to some how land on its side. |

3 tonne land cruiser + ve commo pulling out in front of me from a side road = easily written off ve and lightly scratched bull bar on cruiser. Sadly no pics of the commo.
I know it looks slightly caved in but it isn't, and the alignment under the headlight has always been like that. |

This is from my brother's crash on the atherton tablelands. It's a late model commodore wagon that only had several thousand k's. It was a hire car :
He went off the edge of the road while playing with the dash controls and hit a culvet with cruise set on 110kmh. Flipped end on end twice and rolled sideways several more times. The front drivers door was bent back to the bonnet so he had no trouble getting out! Injuries included bruise from seatbelt and fat lip from airbag. Sorry for the quality of photos, they were taken with his phone that he found wedged under the rear seat. And yes he did pay for "extra" insurance cover. |

Whilst not a sedan or coupe, compare how much less the roof is crushed compared to say ummm, the Skyline pic taken earlier in thread under similar circumstances.
Euros tend to have under their regs high roof crush resistance (ECE), they are then adopted for world administration (UNECE), the east asian makes are or sorry, were not made to such requirement. Nippon makes increasingly so - as that place adopts better requirement. The Americans are toughening up their roof crush strength requirements right now. Better performance on the horizon.

Who's being doing the very heavy editing in here? Part of LilMissDrift's original message is missing and my first post that said "you go first" is gone completely!
Anyway... on with the show. Never EVER attempt a 'U' turn whlist talking to your passenger. There could be a Truck in the way! Yes it was a lady driver and yes, she said she never saw me!! The good news is that both driver and passenger got out without a scratch! The Truck A Subaru right front guard. The rest

I don't know about this accident, but it looks like one of the worst Territory wrecks I have seen.
