Doesn't sound like scoob driver's fault to me.

They were too close if they had to swerve and couldn't stop when the scoob and to swerve also.

Sounds very much like someone trying to apportion blame when they were at the very least too close and probably racing or trying to prove something.

Flame away..

may not have seen it happen? Impossible to know without being in one of the cars at the time.

Sounds like a bit of a racetrack from reading the comments on their site. If they were racing and the guy behind bit the big one, the guy in the scooby could have been prosecuted in a big way so if he did see it that's something that was probably going through their heads...

LOL

Wouldn't quite have the same ring to it if he posted

" I was driving like a dick and couldn't stop in time when a car ahead had to brake suddenly and swerve, so I totalled my car"

does it?

Not saying it was all the RST drivers fault, but FFS, how fast was he going to take out a tree?

On a road considered a death trap.......in his own words.....

going along the a217 when a scooby infront brakes hard so we swerver out the way but the **** swerves infront off us
So how does that make the Scoob driver blameless, jeez some people want to get their blinkers off.....

If both were racing, both were *****. both were to blame... simple!!

What, driving dangerously is a hobby now?

Whatever happened, the RST was obviously far too close to the car in front. Either the Scooby braked deliberately (pissed off with the RST tailgating?) or braked and swerved to avoid a hazard in the road.

I'm glad no one was seriously hurt but I hope rather than spending all their time blaming the other driver (who was clearly a **** if he drove off after seeing the accident), the 2 lads in the RST learn from their own mistakes.
