So if the brakes locked, does that mean they're still locked now?

Weve had a shit load of courtesy car sxi's with fuel gauge problems, ie not working or miss reading the amount of fuel, but dont know if its been re-called, but that wouldnt make it crash either

Unless he was looking at the fuel gauge, thinking wheres that all gone, tapping the dash, then looked up & theres a fox having a smoke in the middle of the road, he got a fright, went off roading & broke the corsa.
Oh, he has since applied T-Cut & its perfect now.

Brake fluid low on 10 cars.
I would suspect that has been sorted by now.

Oh comeee onnnn!
He crashed, the car is a mess, BUT as long as he and his passengers are alive and safe, all is OK.
Insurance will sort out the money for the car, at the end of the day it is only a peice of metal!
His brakes didn't fail, his fuel gauge wasn't dodgy, he misread the conditions on the road, the bend on the road, he layed the power down/braked at the wrong time, a fox got in the way and the human instinkt (sp) is to aviod it, its a reflex action that we don't think "oh hang on, I need to think of the car first".
He should just hold his hands up and say "yeah, I did it, opps, life goes on".
Why is it always something elses fault
