Ned to get an X-ray STAT! I thnk I have a fracture in my arm..... Very sore all over, feel like I've been bashed.....


Fault is disputed....

Copper blamed me tho and gave me a NEG driving charge...... I intend to fight the charge.
The massive rig was in the centre of the road on a blind corner. I had nowhere to go.........
I was not over the speed limit and the police agree with that, but too fast for the "recommended speed"......... Some bullshit....

I've spent a good hour or so looking at those skid marks from diff angles and diff pics.... Sure the skid marks stop on the wrong side of the road, but if you look at the damage, the caravan rolled up over the bonnet of the car. This means the momentum of the wagon didn't stop dead at the impact zone, hence why the skid marks continued onto the wrong side of the road.

Either way jojo glad you're ok, and let us know as a community if there is anything we can help you out with...

love you all, so many great dudes in the 86 community.....

Another cheap wagon shell would be good....

Far out man, you're not having the best luck lately. Good to see you're still breathing. Looks like it could have been much much worse.

SHIT! Glad to here that you are safe, well & in good spirits, especially after you put in such effort to get it going for the Annual.

But remember lives are more important than cars as lost lives can't be brought back but cars can be.

yeah only reason I asked was because - caravan and 4wd (cop sees them as sensible and trustworthy)

younger guy in a modified and old turbo car, on a car cruise (cop sees as hooning, showing off etc)

Best of luck with it,

what did the guy in the caravan say about it?

[davidgarratt]

Sorry to see someone's hard work to go to waste like that. Hope you feel better.soon mate

Gutting to see man, but your alive, that's the main thing.
If the speed limit on the road is say 80km/hr... And there are not speed advisory signs for that particular corner, then as the driver you can assume that is it safe to take the corner at the nominated speed limit.
If there was an advisory sign, it is just that, a mere guide at which speed to use.
So I think what the cop said about your speed is just reasoning with no backing.
If you were in the right, make sure your fight this

Thanks guys.....

Had an X-ray today. Cleared of fracture but have bone bruising........ Was very sore this morning, but feeling better tonight......
It's really starting to sink in of all my hard work and money I put into getting this car ready for this weekend....... It makes the last month of my life seem quite surreal.... To spend every minute, of everyday I am not at work or sleeping, working on the car, buying parts, immersing myself in a focus that controlled me, all to have it taken away in a second......... Last friday, my hands were literally so sore and worn out from continiously working to get the car done last week.

With my bad luck of my other two fucked cars this year, shit is taking it's fucking toll....





The Wagon was looking pretty Boss.....
