ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) [luckytobealive] Driving to the video store last night, Bus goes straight through a stop sign in front of me. Im so lucky I just did a brake upgrade or I think me and the mrs would have been in hospital right now. Damage isn't to bad, Lucky I had my eye on the road... Will upload some pics tonight. Informed the cops, Bus driver is being summons for careless driving, failing to stop and wreckless endangerment. I just about shat my pants... Its f**kING scary having what at the time seems like a big white wall of steel right infront of you at 50KM. [/luckytobealive] Edit: Mayor of Papakura witnessed the whole thing.

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) Unlucky Chris, good to see you're OK, hopefully you shouldn't have too much trouble getting them to repair it. Just another pain in the arse eh. ps. Don't rely on a mayor to have seen anything as it truly was, or anyone in politics for that matter!

hybrid 1044 Report post Posted August 19, 2007 man, Im glad your ok there. Tell you what I had this happen about 3 months back. Outside the Auckland police station. Taxi ran a red ... I was coming down the hill on a green. about 70kph (as you do when your rolling down that stretch) I hit the anchors and ABS'ed to a stop narrowly missing writing off the e46. I always slow and double look at intersections more so than I did before. its the old story of you cant trust anyone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted August 19, 2007 Yea its a real f**kin wake up call eh, im more superstitious than any when driving as im all to familiar with it (unfortunatly) If I hadn't had the experiance with crashes the car and possibly Me / Taniel would have be goners to.

QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2007 glad to see no one got hurt, i think its time for some "kit" turbo boost intsall, next time you can just jump over the bus or fly straight through, i know what u mean about the superstition having been crashed into quite badly very soon after getting my license, ages ago now tho, but has stuck with me ever since, I hope the damage isnt too bad and the bus driver gets whats coming.

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2007 Ouch, just be thankful you're OK. I got to attend a Car vs Pedestrian outside Nosh on Saturday (pedestrian's fault). A very nasty compound fracture of the leg and lucky to only be bleeding a little from the mouth and nose after they sorted out the windscreen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted August 20, 2007 A daihatsu that I have to pay $15 a day for. They basically said to me that I could get a wheel alignment and Insurance would pay (last crash) then I get a bill for $160 6 months later. I have tried to rebut it but they dont want to know. So Ive told myself never to go back there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
