who gives a fuck what happened maybe he was goin a bit fast and lost control maybe he never. he didnt come onto this site to get slated! i bet every single person on this site has sped at some point in time and most people will have had a crash as well. he will learn from it and as someone said earlier it will make him a better driver. it is a learning curve.
hope you get you car sorted matey

That doesnt mean its justified mate.
maybe you got a few people being dickheads but thats just the way this site is there is. there is a few people that bring it down. I see no need to slag this guy off, it obviously wasnt his intention to crash

you don't have to be speeding to crash... i hit a traffic light in terrible conditions with slippery roads going 20mph in a 30mph limit. went to turn but didn't turn enough, tried to correct it quickly and skidded into the traffic light...
i learnt from that  and i wasn't speeding.

speeding is all relative to the conditions so if they were terrible and you crashed into a trafic light then you must have been going too fast for the conditions.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Can you explain your theory please? Don't understand that if somebody crashes they are automatically 'going too fast'?

Flat or bald tyres, driver error, a distraction of some sort (deer running out etc), poor reactions, oil on the road. Don't see why speeding would effect any of those factors?

Imagine quoting that Sorry officer, I wasn't paying attention when a badger ran out in front of me, I locked up on my bald tyres hit some oil that has been leaking from my car, spun 360 degrees and hit a tree - my mate will tell you what happened as I was on the phone to him.

sorry been at work.
actualy as i had turned at the single hash lines cuming up on the other side of the brick wall the focus decided they would cut up near the bolard bit and slam his brakes on in front of me. it was either go into the back of him and fuck the front of ma car up and his. ( then resort to insurance) or steer to go round him but as he went to pull away he pulled infront of me hence going into wall. reason y so far up was cos wen i hit the wall i didnt no wat i was doin. so i was trying to stop the car from more damage but accelerate to get away from wall. and then the reason on teh position was because i didnt no the lower ball joint had broke at the time hense y i then cudnt steer.
thankyou all for the support sum of you are really respectfull and kind to people but those who make asumptions shudnt cos if it happens to u then how you gonna feel wen people moan at you
