Dmaxdan Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Lucky lady. She must be of short stature because if that had been me driving it would have taken my head off! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KhunLA Posted March 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2022 "The poles had a flimsy piece of red cloth on the back to satisfy the law." Looks a wee bit more than 'flimsy' to me. Quite visible and think someone needs to pay more attention when driving. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pheeramon couldn't brake in time in her Teana but she was uninjured." The pole would have slipped forward if the truck braked sharply. How would that cause it to be projected backwards into her windscreen? She was driving too fast/close and/or not paying attention, and drove into the pole when the truck braked.

Agreed, law of physics would have the pole moving forward if the truck braked heavily. She was too close behind to stop in time or didn't even notice the poles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

it is what it is Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 the writer of the article clearly wasn't paying attention in physics class at school. it's fairly obvious that the load would move forward when the vehicle braked. either the load was not secured properly and slipped off the vehicle due to forward motion, or the car driver drove into over hanging poles.

Muhendis Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, it is what it is said: the writer of the article clearly wasn't paying attention in physics class at school. it's fairly obvious that the load would move forward when the vehicle braked. either the load was not secured properly and slipped off the vehicle due to forward motion, or the car driver drove into over hanging poles. More likely the writer didn't include the swerve and brake done by the truck driver. Those concrete posts were probably a lot closer to each other before the accident. Note; it's normal for cars to hit posts so not news but I'm glad no one was hurt. Edited March 11, 2022 by Muhendis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE1 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 So the driver of the truck is not getting fined for having an unsecured load..... Them Police are just one lazy , ignorant futhermucking outfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backwards is your assumption, the article only says "slipped". I agree with your last statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
