For those who know the Stoke area there is a big roundabout at the end of the A50 by the incinerator. There are traffic on there and my mate was waiting on red to eventually turn right and head towards Stoke. The lights turned to green and he slammed straight into the side of a police car that was on a mission but had obviously gone through on red from his left.
The cops needed a statement and asked him to go back to the Stoke cop shop. He now had to go three quarters around the roundabout to get to the police station. He is now in the outside lane of the roundabout and has got to get over to the left but this corner is deadly because anybody who knows this roundabout can tell you that there are three sets of lanes converging into one. He's trying to get over and slams into the side of another car :eek:
The cops didn't know where to put themselves and my mate is now bricking it.
Unlucky.
 
Gutting, that's got to suck. Going to be an interesting insurance claim, I just hope your mate was insured!
 
Surely if the cops ran the red they would have lights and sirens going?

If so, he isn't unlucky...He's stupid.

So they may do him for driving without due care and attention?

I would say it is more than likely given the circumstances, also as this is a police accident expect this to be dealt with very thoroughly by the Police investigator, the driver of the police car will be heavily scrutinised too.
 
just cos a light goes green, doesn't mean you don't have to look to check whether some idiot's run a red. It'd be hard to miss a police car coming with all their flashy lights on, even if you were deaf.

i find that when i have music playing loud in a car i cant concentrate on anything else - even if you dont have to hear other cars etc. the music still plays on the brain!

and maybe thats why he slammed 2 cars, unless he decided to turn it off after hte first incident :p
 
IIRC - The police must make eye contact before doing a manouver like that infront of another vehicle.

My uncle is a Poilice officer, who had someone plough into him at a junction (blues and twos), he hadent made eye contact, and got disciplined for it, and stiched royally.

He now refuses to drive.

I don't blame him ..... cops are shafted in such circumstances.
 
Perhaps you should persuade him to listen to The Clash - I fought the law, but the law won.
 
Pure gold - you're on about Spike at work.
I was talking to him this morning and he is poo'ing himself.
What you might not know is that Barnie who works with him drove into a boat yesterday :eek:
He was behind a car pulling a boat, it went over a speed bump, the boat fell off and Barnie drove straight into it.
 
That roundabout is just down the road from me. It's definitely a pain at certain times of the day, not due to the traffic but more to do with the general incompetence of other drivers.
 
sounds like a right monkey, ok hit the police car due to not pay attention, but crashing agian is just silly.
