for god sake, people have accidents it doesn't sound like he was doing anything wrong, if he was the police would be giving him shit. Why do people say he is 'in experienced'? as my manager used to be a traffic cop he has years and years of experience but he had a serious accident the other week. And the end of the day it happens whether you are experienced or not. Give him a break ffs

Think matty b has got a grudge or summin but if you ever have an accident you just might start to grow up and realise it aint always someones fault! You werent even there so who are you to judge?? Think you need to get a life if it was one of your mates im sure ud believe it was weather conditions! And the only reason ur being a dick about it is cuz ur on the net try being face to face with him think ud keep ur mouth shut then mate!!!

Once u've come to terms that inexperience, speed and poor judgement are to blame, not the road or the car, then come back.



i think if u go back to page one mate u'll see i wasnt pulling from a round about... go back to page 1 and read up!!

Was it windy? Crosswinds CAN make a car drastically change direction.

And before all the know-it-alls say, 'crosswinds couldnt do that blah blah blah.................'. Crosswinds have a road sign of their own to inform drivers that they exist, i'd assume they must have thought that these crosswinds are a hazard otherwise why invent a fucking sign???

People on here are too quick to judge. The only person at the accident scene in this thread was combatprojex. None of you lot who are quick at pointing the finger were there FFS!!

Give the guy a break. Accidents happen. Blame doesnt indicate recklessness. Every accident has a contributing factor, its not always recklessness.

Rant Over

Matt - would you class yourself as being an 'poor judging' and inexperienced driver?

Going by yours and combat's DOB's, I'd say he has more driving experience than you, in a) the number of years/months driving, and b) the extra skills learnt from PP and some rally course.

A few assumptions there I know, but makes sense
