Wow.

That should be aired on every TV channel across the world.

Reminded me of a traffic accident I witnessed some yrs ago, an old couple in a Jaguar went through a red light hitting the side of the vehicle in front of me.

I attended that driver who had a bad head wound, the services arrived and I went to check on the wife of the Jaguar driver, he`d been with us at the car he hit and left the wife.

She was dead, I found after that she had a heart attack whilst everybody was attending the other car.

Odd thing was the Jaguar hardly had a dent on it, the other car a Rover was badly buckled in the centre.

The old man collapsed and needed help, he admitted in court afterwards that he didn`t see the junction.

I guess we get protected in life, this video though really made my hairs stand up, now I want to phone my children to check there ok.

Wow.:(

Re: Spanish parking.

Wow that really gets the stomach turning, so sad but unfortunately so true. Maybe that should be used as part of the theory when learning to drive.

I love the way the Spanish park, they just stop the car and get out! Our main town almost has two rows of parking each side of the central street, the proper parking bays and then the double parkers next to them with their hazzards on - then theres those who park on the round abouts, like thats what they're there for and in the central reservation??!!!! and as for the way they park down those narrow side streets....!!!!!

I cant believe I'm gonna say this, but if ever a country needed traffic wardens, its Spain!! :eek::eek::blink:

Jo xxx

But why???? :confused:
It actually works for everyone, a little patience whilst some one comes and moves their car to let you is no problem is it ?
The UK is way way to over regulated and it doesnt work at all.:thumbsup:
It took me weeks to get used to not having to look for a parking meter to pay to park everywere i went or looking over my shoulder to see if i had time to run into the shop to buy a paper before i was towed away or clamped.
I never could understand the reasoning they give for clamping, if your causing an obstruction how the hell does clamping it in place remove the obstruction ???
