Interesting...

As per DVLA, built 1995, first registered 1998... It's a 2.6 petrol...

The vehicle details for M565 UAO are:
Date of First Registration 16 04 1998
Year of Manufacture 1995

Built in 1995 - then sat around until registered in April 1998

"had a coughing fit and hit the accelerator instead of the brake"

Umm, ok, good one. Try running that one past the parents of the kids who are using a pedestrian crossing with a lollypop lady. Surely going to need a better excuse than that?

Accident or not, it shows how much a car can be a weapon, even at moderately low speeds (I presume) That is a lot of carnage for one tickly throat.

Surely if reg'd in 98 it would have an r plate, as it has an m plate it must have been reg'd and built in 95, dvla print cockup

It saddens me to read some of the comments that have been posted on this thread about Parts; considering there are 5 kids in hospital- one in Intensive.
I hope you sleep well tonight!

I live about 10 miles from there, and the Wrecker involved was driven by a Mates colleague- a bit close to home.

Well said , there are times for jokes but then there are times for reflection and humility

Indeed. Shame on anyone making a tongue in cheek comment on the internet these days....

I have a friend with COPD from long-time smoking. He sometimes has a coughing fits. He has suffered with broken ribs & torn ribcage cartilage from these episodes. Granted he was a smoker but coughing fits are no joke.

How long do we have to wait before we can make jokes
