Popular Post Jerno Posted September 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2022 Idiot driver driving too fast for road and weather conditions. Simple as that.

It is a good job they mentioned the damaged bumper as you may have missed it due to the rest of the pick up being bent like a banana..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swm59nj Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Ah that wet road will do it every time. Maybe when the road is wet these drivers should slow down and be more careful. But I guess that is out of the range of their mentality and arrogance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I have ever had mine checked, not sure what they do at the test centre each year I pay the tax, the Mrs takes it. But it sounds very superficial.
