Oh the irony (smashed up lotus)

[david1980]

I drove past it myself this morning,its still sat there but has been moved more onto the road,I would have thought the insurance company would have shifted it by now.Looks like the front inner wing area has taken all the impact,not sure if something like that can be repaired on a fibreglass shell or not,or maybe would need a complete reshell.

better pics?

Nah I didn't take any,weirdly enough a mate sent me a pic of a smashed up bmw mini earlier that got recovered to his garage yesterday that had a 2 ft piece of red fibreglass poking out the front of it.

Isn't there a pic on Facebook taken from his cctv showing the moment if impact?
Completely on the wrong side of the road straight into the front of it.

No idea,more than likely though

That's my biggest pet hate.I would love to film them and give the evidence to the Police.
People like that are so bloody selfish and just couldn't care less about others.The poor innocents......dead because of......makes my blood boil. When i draw up beside them on the motorway and gesticulate they still show the finger when they realise i am not old bill.

she probably fainted when she saw her husband's car with some kind of fisting symbol attached to it!

i have never seen anything so funny - the fact that someone would even be so daft as to think that's not going to draw the wrong kind of attention and that it would ever work as some kind of "stay clear" device. he's a proper looney!!

still, shame for the poor old lotus - it didn't choose a nutter of an owner!

fainted at the wheel my ****!! at this time of year, women wearing huge "reader's wives" sunglasses are an absolute menace out there. you can guarantee that at a roundabout or a junction, they will pull out on you in spite of you having right of way.

what amazes me is how they manage to text at the wheel while wearing them!!

The thing about the video is that the car coming from the right is completely on the wrong side of the road, if she didn't feint, then maybe she swerved to miss the other car?

Not sticking up for her, cos at the end of the day regardless of what she was or wasn't doing, she hit and damaged the car.

Good point.
Being used to driving on the right side of the road, that didn't strike me at first, but you are absolutely right.
Weird.

I would defo be asking for the mobile phone records to be checked out, parking that car on that road is mental, I come from the town and my sis lives just round the corner. I've had a few near misses with sh** drivers coming down there too fast and in a bad position, really sad, if that happened to the S2 I'd be gutted

Still, glad her and her kid are OK if it wasn't fainting hope she learns a good lesson from it if she did faint she needs her licence suspending until she gets medical clearance

some things are impossible to prove. fainting at the wheel seems most unlikely unless she had a existing heart problem, but then she wouldn't be allowed to drive in the first place. anyway, i'm just glad it wasn't an S1 she ruined!!
