All,

Just a quick one.

Tonight, my fiancee's auntie and family were involved in a serious accident which ended in the roof and doors to be cut off their brand new 5 series BM to get their elderly mother out.

This was caused by a drunk diver spinning into them....*******!

Everyone is OK, but i dare say if it weren't for the car they were in the result would have been much worse.

Then on the way home, i seen a merc wrapped around another car at a junction, a man on the road being given roadside treatment for his injuries.

Take care out there folks, and most of all, take care of each other!

Sorry if this is of no interest to anyone, but just makes you think and realise that no matter how good a driver you are, all it takes is for some pissed up idiot to cancel all that out!

David

You are so right Davie

But what can we do ? ( I hear you ask)

Don't drink and drive and don't let anyone else ( you know) do it

definatly, I drove past the stretch of the A40 near where I live in ruislip and saw the aftermath of the lorry drivers accident in the news recently, a result of 2 mindless idiot's I heard on the news.

It only hits you when you see it.

take care bud...

Doesn't matter how good a driver you are or what car you drive, if somebody else makes a mistake or does something stupid thats it....

Just heard that the elderly woman (my fiancees, uncles mum) has several broken fingers, a broken foot and whiplash. She has a pacemaker in her shoulder and this has also been damaged. The doctors are very concerned about her health.

Her auntie has a bruised lung and sever whiplash.

All people in the car have a big bruise where the seatbelt was.

I would like to add however, that the driver who caused the accident was not drunk, investigations are still being carried out to what went wrong.

Sorry to hear barge and to anyone else caught up with these mindless people who care for no-one but themselves getting home in any drunken state.
