What goes, 'screeeeeeeeecchhhhh.......BANG' ?

lol @ the ebay question

That forum has a sense of humour alright

 

[Raymond Lin]

I feel sorry for the everyone else (truck driver, road cleaners, other drivers) but the Golf driver lol

Imagine if the back of that truck was dropped, he would have flew through the cab and clean to the other side!

And if the back of that flat bed didn't slope down at the rear the golf driver would make likely had his head chopped off...

 

[Begbie]

Would've been better if the truck was lowered and he ended up on it!

 

[ubersonic]

I presume it ended just before he stacked it.

It could have been the new owner driving home.

Hope the insurance company knows about all those mods.

 

[Reevsy18]

Excellent. One more chavved up Mk4 off the road.

+1

Hope the insurance company knows about all those mods.

The driver doing a runner suggests insurance cover may be lacking...

 

[Will Gill]

he could have needed a wee, that's totally justified imo

 

[lordrobs]

Looks like he was going way too fast for the road judging by the skiddies.

Failing to see how it is "chaved up" or a "shed" though

 

[Will Gill]

look at the ebay advert half way through this thread, bumperless intercooler, excessively tinted windows have all been invested in when clearly an ABS pump would have been a bettter route for his cash

Ugly 18" alloys, tinted windows, de-badged, front mount intercooler showing, upgraded air intake pipe and filter, Full recaro seats, boost gauge on dash.

 

[Cosimo]

Fantastic

I'd love to see a reply to that.

Would ABS have stopped him before the truck do you recon, or was he going too fast for that?

Ah ok, I missed that. It did look a bit of a pup!

Ownership of more than three operational brain cells would almost certainly have avoided the incident.

well the entire time he was skidding he was basically not slowing himself down (for all intents..), ABS would have stopped the skid and re-applied the brakes gaining traction till the point the car lost it again, rinse repeat

so I reckon it would have prevented it 100%, but I'm a sucker for depending on technology

I'd have been shafted then

Fully locked up, your braking is about 30% less effective. He certainly would have taken off a LOT more speed even if he still hit the truck.
But one of the biggest advantages of ABS/not locking up is that you are still able to steer rather than heading dead straight into the object as this moron did! Assuming the road was clear to the right, he might have also been able to swerve around the truck.

i think he was speeding a little bit lol
