What happened indeed!! I wish I knew!
Basic story is: trundling queue of traffic doing 30 down the A272; a car several cars ahead decides to turn right (or left); car immediately in front brakes hard; crash test dummy fails to see brake lights (currently assumes there were some); crash test dummy impacts car and proceeds to attempt to plough a furrow through the tarmac with shoulder; crash test dummy's mate nearly runs into same car but saved by stonking Tuono brakes - and despite going through a pool of fork oil caused by said dummy's left fork shedding all it's contents on the road (having been severed in half by said impact); Thanks go to Damien for being a star. Oh, and driving me home from hospital! Dave |

Luckily I didn't hit it at 30.
I became vaguely aware that there was something red and box-like in front of me which seemed to be rapidly approaching - and which probably wasn't going to miraculously move out of the way. So brakes were tentatively applied! ![]() It's the fact that I ended up on the other side of the road that worried! ![]() ****! Dave |

Ouch!
Glad you sound so easy about it and aint lookin to blame the car, the road, the brakes, the seagull that cast a shadow over the tarmac ahead of you or anything else. Hope the bone mends well and quickly for ya ![]()
