I don't believe him. What are the odds that the lorry in question was doing 50 and he had to do "just over" 50 to overtake it. 50mph limits usually seem to be in areas of pretty poor visibility, what the hell was he doing trying to overtake anyway?

Maybe I'm being unfair though. Just this evening I was being reminded of a lucky escape that our family had when an oncoming lorry came over a blind summit pulled out to overtake a tractor that it spotted too late and made a head on collision with our car appear to be inevitable. To this day i do not know how the collision was avoided as there was very little room for me to pull over to the left. I think the car must have breathed in :-) Wagon drivers are normally very good but they do make mistakes sometimes....... |

If the lorry was a big'un then it would have been legally restricted to 40mph on a single carriageway road anyway. Surely you're not suggesting that the driver of an HGV might have been speeding ;-) -- Danny Colyer (the UK company has been laughed out of my reply address) <URL:http://www.speedy5.freeserve.co.uk/danny/> "He who dares not offend cannot be honest." - Thomas Paine |

Might not get disqualified (yet) - This from uk.legal.moderated Subject: Dangerous Driving Query <snip> The driver is already on 12 points for a number of speeding offences and has already used the "exceptional circumstances" (disabled dependant relative) defence to avoid disqualification. The driver was involved in an accident about which they cannot say what happened other than that they "suddenly became aware of lights coming towards them". An independant witness (driving behind the charged driver) says that the charged driver was driving on the wrong side of the road. The charged driver is completely familiar with the layout of the road on which the accident occurred. <snip> Tim. -- God said, "div D = rho, div B = 0, curl E = - @B/@t, curl H = J + @D/@t," and there was light. http://tjw.hn.org/ http://www.locofungus.btinternet.co.uk/ |
