If you look at the pic of the pole , there is a plastic yellow highway sign which amazingly survived (police said they fold over in an accident then pop up), i went over that first then hit the pole. After i stopped i tried to stear the car off the busy road but only got as far as the kerb in the pic. The two are not related.

They don't fold down that much. Really, they don't.

I heard he got attacked by Giant white balls from the sky.

Still doesn't explain why you swerved into oncoming traffic?

There was none at the time (luckily). Loads of traffic after the accident as u can imagine.

This is what I just can't understand.

If the oncoming vehicle was overtaking someone else then the OP would have crashed into the person being overtaken due to the manoeuvre that has been said.

So why was the other car on the wrong side of the road?

What made you turn that way and not left into the verge though. Or better, brake hard and let the chav do the crashing.

Hang on, what was he overtaking if there was no traffic?

 

[tracertong]

He was overtaking a tractor. Can i have my phone call now please officer !

 

[GravyMonster]

No we're not finished here.

Did the tractor driver witness the crash?

 

[Fr0dders]

The OcUK detectives (tm) havent finished with you yet !

 

[metamorphpwner]

What was the chav overtaking then?

Anyway, if that isn't written off you will be extremely lucky. Oh and expect a bill for replacement of that pole.

*edit* damn and blast too slow!

That's not what you just said!

Looks like he's been drinking and smoking all sorts.

Thats one fast tractor to require a 100mph overtake

 

[metamorphpwner]

Thats one fast tractor to require a 100mph overtake

and to have not been still on the road as he swerved into the pole.

 

[bledd]

Carl, googlemaps with arrows & markers, then they'll stop asking questions

 

[Fr0dders]

maybe its one of those JCB Fasttrack's that can do nearly 50 ?

 

[tracertong]

I dont consider a single tractor oncoming "traffic". He did witness it yes , also the guy that said the car would never be the same - i was only going about 30mph , are you saying even if i get it all fixed it will be dodgy ?

Thanks

 

[InvaderGIR]

How is another vehicle on the road not traffic?

It'll only never be the same if it's fixed badly. To you it'll never seem the same as you'll know it's been in a crash etc.

 

[GravyMonster]

I certainly wouldn't fancy driving it, and I doubt it'll feel the same. Even a car that's been broken into never quite feels the same again.
