or maybe said "cock" was expecting the approaching car to be doing 30mph and therefore assumed they had enough time to pull out safely!!Quote:

I can see this one going against the Nova owner, or a 50/50 at best.
Even if you were doing 30mph, impartial witnesses would say you were going faster because it no doubt sounded as though you were.
Looks nasty, at least all got out OK though.
Good to see the sympathy lasted long.
If nobby was doing a indicated 40mph then it was most likly 35. The clio driver (presuming not a 17 year old just passed test etc) should know what 30mph looks like and maybe realised the fact they didnt have enough time to pull out.
TBH tho, most clio drivers are crap and crash.
In all fairness if you're driving a clio you are asking to be involved in a crash as even god frowns upon french cars. LOL
True, Sign posts, Hedges, ditches and Tree's also agree.Quote:

Plus the face the SLOW on the road is as your coming into it, so i wouldnt mind betting the speed limit was 40, going into a 30.
Nobby to confirm ofc, but that does make sence.
gutted for you mate i had an accident a few years back in my fessie and it was my fault i lost no claims an everything but the main thing is myself and the guy i hit (in a clio) lol were ok
