I was hit because a speeding drive who couldn't stop when the motorway came to a stand still, maybe if he was sticking to the slower speed limit he would have been able to stop.
If the visibility was good and the road surface dry then there's no reason he couldn't stop in time if you could. That means it was probably driver error rather than speed.
Inappropriate speed is what causes accidents, not specifically excessive speed.
It's looking like we've found the only driver in the country who doesn't break the speed limit.
Currently I dont drive, I was a professional driver used to do over 70,000 miles a year.... I was hit by someone head on speeding at the same time as he was doing something in his car. I was on the way to work at , his speed was critical in causing the accident, the road was clear, conditions excellent, he crossed over onto the wrong side of a country road that was wide enough for 3 cars.
It took 4 hours for me to be cut out of the car.
I had a broken neck, back in two places, shatter femur, pelvis, broken ribs, a head injury, nerve damage, damage to all my major organs. I was resuscitate 4 times. I was given a 2% chance of living. I was told I would never walk again, but I do. I lost 8 years of my memory, my job I worked hard to get and I lost my home. I cannot put full story here and wouldn't like too.
The people who know and have met me I think they can vouch what I say is true and how it effected me.
Incase anyone thinks or make a comment I got compensated, I didn't because of who the other driver was they look after their own. After nearly 3 years I got an apology and my legal fees paid for. Not because of the accident, but more for the way I was dealt with after the accident.

Is it not better not too commit the offence in the first place, speed limit are there for safety. Better not to speed and have the potential to kill someone. Or having to wriggle out of a speeding offence.
In the last ten years, I've driven somewhere near 50,000 miles per year. Interestingly the three accidents I've been involved in I was stationary all three times. Twice I was hit in the rear (ooo errr missus), and the other time, a drunk driver hit my car everywhere from the front to the back
Needless to say I no longer sit still in a car. If I'm moving, I'm a harder target to hit.

Dissecting a post or not, that has to be the funniest typo I've seen in ages.
I thought his name was Brian!
Zeddies- I have a sensible bit about your post, honest. I just need a chuckle first. :thumbup:
(BTW, do you have any idea how difficult it is to concentrate on reading your posts with the boobies jiggling in your avatar?
)I've seen the life of Brian, been to the place it was filmed.... i'm sure he is the son.....lol :rotflmao:

There are areas of Birmingham with english street names replaced with arabic streetnames and banners over head that say, Allah is the one and only true God, you will serve no other, is that multi culturalism?
In Pakistan, Kashmir and India, all the most of the street signs are in english and quite a few are english street names from when britain was in India, is that multi culturalism?
I am a muslim and I don't want to get into a debate about religion... but I can say Allah & God are the same... from my understand is the same for the Jewish faith... in Islam all of all three faiths are called people of the book... all start with Abraham... Mecca is where Abraham built the first place of worship for God...
Christianity
Judaism
Islam
Bahá'í Faith
these are all Abrahamic religions these are monotheistic faiths
As a muslim I can pray in a church, synagogue, mosque or anywhere I choose to pray as long is clean. I have tried to pray in a church and been told to leave, stopped from being a God Parent for being a muslim by the church.
Islam's holiest book is the Qur'an. The verses of the Quran were revealed from God through the Archangel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad on separate occasions. However, Muslims also believe in the religious texts of Judaism and Christianity in their original forms (not the current versions). Torah, Old Testament.

How far do you think I would get if I tried to build the Catholic church of St Joseph In Pakistan/Iraq/Egypt/Morroco/Turkey/Afghanisthan?
Yet the UK is full of Mosques an Temples.
They are catholic churchs in Pakistan, Kashmir, Tunisia... I have visited these, the rest I dont know of...
Saint Patrick's Cathedral, Karachi, Pakistan and in 1978 the cathedral celebrated its centenary. The Pakistan Post Office issued special commorative stamps on the occasion.
St. Vincent de Paul Cathedral, Tunisia
Saint Louis Cathedral, Carthage, Tunisia
All Saints Church, Srinagar, Kashmir
Church of Virgin Mary, Jumma, Kashmir
St Mary's Church, Jumma, Kashmir

Can you correct me but when in Wunderhorse's post did he say about because I never saw that from Wunderhorse.
This bit:

So when their subjects came to the Mother Country all they got was Racism & it was their nations, sweat, blood & many tears. Which built YOUR nation kentswingers777.
Not quoted the whole post - it'll just take more room up on the thread!
As I said, I apologise for misunderstanding and can see that you didn't mean to imply what I thought you had.
Don't bother to apologise if you still cannot see why you are apologising for.
It says all they got was racism and I agree, but how did you take that and assume that it was linked loss of civilisation here because of that. You made the link not me not wonderhorse or anyone else.
Wunderhorse had made the point about other subjects from other nations coming here. You made the comment about loss of civilisation, after quoting and agreeing with his whole post (you quoted the whole thing).I've apologised for my misunderstanding and I know what I am apologising for - my misunderstanding. If you don't want to accept that apology, fine. No need to be rude about it though. I've also sent an apology by PM and I do mean it sincerely. However, I won't apologise again.
Dont bother again you don't see how you are causing offence.... Wunderhorse did not make any negative comment about other nations coming here apart from the racism they met.

Here here, the funny thing is Britian went all over the world & robbed the natural resources of others and civilised the world.
:smug:
Pity there has been a loss of civilisation here.
So you're saying that Britain civilised the world but that it's now Britain which is uncivilised, after the people from other nations came here (you said 'hear hear' to Wunderhorse's comments that said that)?
I think you didn't understand or i didn't make myself clear.... was agree regarding Riots
please dont try to say what I am saying and twist it....
Britain which is uncivilised after the people from other nations came here.... when did I say that...
and saying britain civilised the world was sarcasim as they never did just they thought so.... smug icon should have given it way.
Apologies, I wasn't trying to twist your words - but you agreed with Wunderhorse's post in its entirety, which made me think that you'd also agreed with the bit about subjects of other nations coming here, then you went on to say that there was a loss of civilisation here in Britain. Putting the two things together and linking them obviously wasn't your intention, because that would be saying that immigrants was causing the loss of civilisation. I don't believe that is the case.
Can you correct me but when in Wunderhorse's post did he say about our nations coming here and that caused the problem because I never saw that from Wunderhorse.

If I was to give my opinions on what is wrong with this country, I'd get flamed by those in ivory towers who like to sit in judgement and who half the time give a public opinion whilst privately holding a totally different one.
Enoch Powell had a point though.
Which point did Enoch Powell have?
His " rivers of blood " speech did happen in the 80's with mass riots in Brixton and Toxteth. He did say it would happen and it did. Also has happened in Bradford, and many places are like a powder keg now, waiting to go up.
He also said " Powell estimated that by the year 2000, the figure would be 5 to 7 million immigrants ". Which he may have been a few years out but that figure now in 2008 is not that far out, according to stats.
They are facts but does in no way say that I agreed or agree with his policies or his views.
Wait a sec...kentswingers777. Am from Toxteth.
So you better know your facts & you don't...mate.
The reason for the Riots or Uprising as I like to call them. Was due to one factor & know this my family was directly affected this issue many times....
Racist Policing of the Merseyside Police towards the Black Community of Toxteth.
How much bullying can one person(s) take...
: Yet those that defended themselves are still catorgized as the bad guys.
kentswingers777, you are making quotes about a group of people that you know nothing about.. :!:
As I said in a previous post in this thread...Britian went all over the world & robbed the natural resources of others.
When they ruled over people that where normally Brown; they gave the propaganda about 'the Mother Country'.
So when their subjects came to the Mother Country all they got was Racism & it was their nations, sweat, blood & many tears. Which built YOUR nation kentswingers777.
Know your History.

That is why Wales, Scotland and Ireland point out the fact they have their own nationality.
What is Englands national anthem?
God save the queen, yet it's also britains.
I'm a Republican. I don't recognise the queen of England as my queen.
But that is another story, and it's getting all heavily political again.
So why is britain broken then?

Can't remember what I put on the census form, but I'm sure Welsh was an option.
Well if you are from Ireland you are Irish...if you are from Wales you are Welsh....if you are from Scotland you are Scottish but....If you are from England you are British? :shock:
Work that one out.

I love living in a multi-cultural society - as a country I think its brought us many things - different foods, festivals, shops etc. Our communities are now more diverse and richer for it!
I've certainly learnt a few things over the years about myself, my family and others.
There are some theorists tho that believes it has caused a social divide in Britain - personally I think that's always been there anyway!
A interesting view on it

Quote by Hibernian
I "effectively" have three nationalities, I was born in Wales, I have an Irish passport and I'm a naturalised Scot.
so are you british?
If asked my nationality, I would never say British.
On my passport, under nationality, it says "Irish".
Well britain is broken a clear example, english, scottish & irish? not british

Where people of all backgrounds and cultures live together as one.
It's never going to happen.
Cultures stick together (and foreign nationals), this country is full of pockets of cultures.
They all tend to form groups and try to enlarge this group, this then causes resentment amongst those around them as they see them as a threat.
To use one example, Lidl in livingston (main depot), has 70% polish staff to local (go on, someone say the Poles are now local) but there isn't really any other term to use, and this is growing.
Too be honest where we live, most of the low paid families go and shop at the polish supermarket as cheaper then all the other, stores.
