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

Even if the ABS wouldn't have stopped him in time, it'd have allowed him to manouveure the car around the truck - assuming there was nothing coming of course.

the OP mentioned the driver was undertaking traffic, thats why I didn't mention the ABS steering and braking advantage because that would have just resulted in a different kind of crash

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!

LOL, hardly 'chav' worthy.

Modified = chav. Didn't you get the memo

To be fair though it looked a bit of a dog on the ebay ad.

I didn't look at the advert to be fair but judging on the spec I quoted I was a chav in my youth

Why did no one tell me!

I quite like the car itself. Pre-accident that is.

Me too. Doesnt look bad at all compared to most chav mobiles.

Has anyone worked out whether the driver was the seller or the buyer yet?

Matt82 · 7 Sep 2011 at 13:23

really not a fan of how that mk4 looked

stupid front mount, it looks awful, owner is clearly a chav judging by that front mount, probably drives about with fog lights on too

If I had £1 for every time I saw a similar thing nearly happen....

Nice to see somebody coming a cropper for his stupidity though, and yes, had that been a normal truck i.e. without a sloping "bed" the driver would be Brown bread.

WTF, how fast we he going? And in a cycle lane?

MeAnBoY · 7 Sep 2011 at 13:51

Muppet deserves it. See this kind of driving all the time unforunately.

Also how small is that intercooler core! Hardly worth displaying it in the way he did lol

Is it that hard to lift your foot off the brake pedal once you realise youre not getting the ABS judder? No ABS doesnt mean you cant manually re-apply the brakes.

s0ck · 7 Sep 2011 at 14:52

I still can't figure out how he got up to enough speed to warrant breaking from where he did and still ruining it? He must have been doing at least 70 before he slammed on but if you look up the road there's a set of traffic lights? Must have been leathering it around that corner

I remember a truck pulling into the outside lane of a dual carriageway right when I was at the halfway point of overtaking it in my 306 (no ABS). I just hit that middle pedal and kept my boot in while my rear end took chunks out of the drivers seat and my front tyres went floating off as smoke.

Sometimes when the "OH ****" hits you mashing the pedal down is all that goes through your mind.

Small hatch lowered with Halfords type rims, blacked out windows, badges removed in a way that looks like a beastie boy nicked them, eBay induction kit, "smoked" rear lights and an eBay boost gauge screwed into the dashboard...

Sounds very chavish, hell its a bad paint job a fart can exhaust and some tribal decals from being the epitome of chavish.
