accident

<< < (3/4) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
We see a lot of this at the Hospital.
Obviously a lot of people have other things on their mind, especially if they're coming to see us in A&E & they nudge another car.

We've got a one-way in operation on one serviceroad (well signposted) & people still go down it - it's a 'Blue Light Route'.
I've seen them end up on the kerb avoiding ambulances. One almost hit a Nurse! :roll:
Thankfully there was a Traffic Officer walking up who'd come to see a RTA victim.
He certainly had a 'few words' with the driver :lol:

It's not a sexist thing, it's spread both ways, but we get people who ask Security & other staff if they can park their cars for them.They don't like the idea of (invariably) reversing into a spot.


If they can't cope making those spatial decisions in a (relatively) limitless time environment, how will they cope if they have to make a split-second decision on the roads whether to;
1. Brake
2. Accelerate  
3. Steer left
4. Steer right
5. Carry on the same course at the same speed
6. Any combination of the above

Sadly we see some who can't. Some survive, lots don't :cry:

dracula:
BTM,
Glad to hear that we're not the only hospital that suffers from this sort of
problem.
A+E car parks seem to suffer most, I mean an ambulance is not that obvious, is it :?:  :?:
Minor rant over :x
Cheers,
Paul.

You should have just nudged his car back.  I bet he'd have made eye contact then.

I was a fireman for several years - the highlight of driving stupidity was a lady who drove through a give way sign and hit my fire engine midships on the near side.  Her first sentence (even before I could make a comment about her heritage) was "I don't suppose I could have found anything bigger and easier to see to run in to could I?"  Clowns like that shouldn't even have drivers licences.

V8MoneyPit:
On a lighter note maybe, when I had my first Morris 1000 van (yes another one of my many cars!) a Jeep Cherokee ran into the back of it at 30mph. He was looking at the young lady with the skimpy top I had just been looking at previously!!! I had just finished rebuilding the chassis, otherwise it would have crumbled! The van, not the young lady  :oops:

The van remained driveable after replacing the lights, but it looked a mess. About 2 weeks later, I was waiting to pull out onto a main road. A gap appeared and I moved forward, but stopped again when I thought it unsafe to pull out. The girl behind didn't! She only just nudged me, but you should have seen the look on her face when she thought she had done all the damage  :lol:  :lol:
