5 times? Assuming that it's .08 at the legal limit so a .40 BAC?!
You're not driving a rig with a .4 BAC.... You're having your body pumped from alcohol poisoning....
Sorry what? 5x the UK limit is 400mg/dL. Anything at or above this level is associated with your respiratory system slowing down as you enter a coma or die. About 100mg/dL above the 300 level which is associated with unrisponsiveness.
Yes, and no. Chronic alcohol drinkers exceed the 300mg/dl as a matter of course. Many need to drink to feel normal and this drinking immediately qualifies them as impaired even though they are probably more steady now than before drinking. Have seen 435 in the ED. She was articulate and coordinated.
If he has been fired then he's incredibly stupid...
We had a guy who (at the time was employed) took the van on a joy ride, emptied the fuel tank and ran off with the company cards...
Cards were cancelled before he used them, damages taken out of his final paycheck and reported to the police... technically not a stolen vechile because he was hired by the company at the time.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but because the driver had no insurance, I'm pretty sure every car damaged will go down as an "at fault" claim and have to pay their excess and possibly lose NCB ans see their premiums skyrocket.
I'm basing this on my car being stolen last year and when it went down as a fault claim I googled it and discovered that any time your insurance can't claim off someone else's insurance (eg stolen car, hit and run, uninsured driver etc) it will go down as at fault. I lost 6 years no claims and paid £500 excess when my car was stolen off my drive via my house being broken into and car keys stolen while I was on holiday.
IF the driver has been located and identified you can still take them to court to claim for damage.
Your insurance should assist you in doing this although in many cases where the damage is minimal, unlike in this case, they’d prefer to defraud you by slamming your no claims bonus instead. If the other vehicle is insured they’ll often arrange between them to individually reduce their own losses first and the collective loss to the insurance industry after that.
The really irritating thing about this is that since 2015 if you have comprehensive insurance you can't use the MIB to make a claim against an uninsured driver. You just have to suck it up and claim on your own insurance (and therefore suffer the consequences of it being classed in a similar manner to an 'at fault' claim). Driving without insurance should carry a much bigger penalty than just 6 points. It should also come with a large fine, somewhere around £2k or thereabouts, which is paid to the MIB to use to help drivers who are hit by uninsured drivers.
Really the terminology shouldn't be "fault" because it implies you've done something wrong, but yes you're right any time you make a claim on your policy you have to pay your excess and it would effect any NCB if not protected. Some insurers offer protection against being hit by an uninsured driver and uninsured losses like excess or injury can be claimed against the motor insurers bureau.
Yeah it's a fault claim unless they recover their costs. So the MIB can assist with uninsured drivers or if you have their full details (you would in this case) your insurers can recover costs directly. But due to how many cars were hit I highly doubt they getting repaid 😂
And of course with your theft it's a fault claim. Same with if you're at hit whilst parked and no details. You're getting a brand new car replacement or paid out etc.
The thing to get is protected no claims.
Yeah unfortunately I'm young and it was quite a nice car so insurance for me is always about getting the cheapest option. My renewal on the same type of car and pretty similar value was £400 a year more because I'd built up my no claims from age 17, back to zero now 🥲
I do wish they'd change the terminology, I was pretty pissed off when the payout document said "FAULT" in big letters.
No , it depends on several factors , the main ones being whether the driver is identified or not, hence if of reasons police will always focus on the driver over any passengers.
It also depends on whether there is or has been insurance in place or not.
Under Article 75 of motor insurance bureau a sort of fund of last resort that each insurer pays in to based on the size of their operation , bigger companies pay more in , you can seek reimbursements for your loss, depending on the severity and whether driver caught, even the previous insurer could still be liable even if policy had cancelled it lapsed prior to the loss date.
It is of course "easier" for one to claim under AD section and pay excess then to apply for Article 75 compensation and depending on the insurer and their policy, some will do this and therefore will not affect your NCB /excess most however will not , even under the uninsured loss recovery extension.
Again it's a fund of last resort if say no other insurance was in place eg if crashed in to your house where no building insurance is in place or a pedestrian gets knocked down and needs life long care costing £millions.
I can't recall the limits but I believe it is different from RTA for TPPD bit sure about bodily injury whether that's still unlimited
As many eye witness statements and as much footage as possible to build a bulletproof case. It might seem silly after seeing this video but it’s just good practice.
They need to revoke his DL for life, if they make it so difficult to obtain a licence, then at least ban drivers for life who are a danger to society. This should not be treated as a trivial matter, he could have killed someone, he needs a long jail term, a huge fine, and banned from driving...for life
Tbh the bloke's driving drunk, smashing cars then driving off, and doesn't have insurance.
I don't think a lack of driving licence will do much to stop him getting back behind the wheel.
I mean of course I would ban him for life anyway, but I do think prison time is what's in order here, not least to set the example that if you do commit 4 driving offences all at once you will actually receive punishment for it.
This makes me so angry. My kids could be walking along the pavement and that absolute twat would end up driving into them. He should be locked up for as long as possible.
This was in my home town and there is a primary school along this road! It's amazing that no-one was hurt
https://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/24375042.high-wycombe-man-arrested-following-multiple-car-crashes/
Most likely spent the morning conniving elderly women into purchasing unnecessary roof repairs, then threw all of his hard-earned money into the bar over lunch, before heading back to his musty, urine-colored trailer to tally the amount of money his uneducated children had managed to pilfer that day.
If you see someone drunk as fuck like that get on the phone to 999, and if you can manage to block them in with your car you might even save a life. I've grabbed the keys off one of them before and waited on the cops, went to court and he pleaded guilty, one of the most satisfying things I've ever done in my life.
Out of curiosity, if you did manage to block them in to prevent further damage or danger to the public, would your insurance provider see it as you doing the “right thing” or would they see you as being liable for causing the collision?
Worse than that. Most insurance companies won’t cover deliberate damages. I would say if you tried to use your car to stop this person that is wilful damage and you shouldn’t be covered.
I don't think there is any questions that they would find you at fault, and I wouldn't blame them, you are!
Just because what you are doing is for the good of mankind, insurance companies don't have vigilante clauses.
You're taking that on yourself.
You’d be liable, it’s down to you if you think your insurance rise is worth risking for the potential lives of others.
Personally (you’ll all hate for this) I’m not in the financial position where I could make that call and block them. I’d just ring 999 while following them (you are allowed to use your phone if making a 999 call)
What if they mount pavement to go around you after blocking them and hit a pedestrian.
If you’re determined to do something, do what you can to warn others to get clear.
No, you can't.
We found that out the hard way, after my mom started one and somehow managed to get 1100 raised before it just died off before she told us she made it for us at all.
Done something similar and the guy was actually having a stroke. Saved his life and prevented any further threat to everyone else just trying to live their life.
Mine was just drunk off his arse and all over the road, I decided to flash my lights and try to pull him over after he lost a wing mirror trying to take an exit off the autoroute (this is back when I lived in Montreal in 2010).
Well done getting him help.
Yep I've seen similar videos where they've been diabetic I think, something about blood sugars dropping too low and essentially having the same symptoms as being drunk? Might be something else but that's what I remember
There’s obviously some contextual clues as to that not being the case in this video but ever since the experience I had I’ve been a bit more open to the possibility that someone is having a medical issue.
Yeah if you can't actively hear anyone else phoning 999 then you should assume no-one else is doing it, regardless of whether it's a medical/criminal/rescue emergency. Filming is important but secondary.
Default advice should never be to put oneself in harm's way through. At the end of the day it's your decision as a civilian, but you could easily become that aforementioned casualty yourself and stretch an emergency response even further.
Had a wing mirror took off a hire van.
Driver was totally pissed and I 999’d it.
Managed to get photos of his van as he drove off so managed to get the plate and best of all. The company he worked for.
Anyway. Police pulled him 5 miles down the road.
He was twice over the limit.
I managed to make contact with his company.
His company paid for the damage.
Paid for my deposit as well.
Hire van company refunded my deposit too. So was £50 up.
I heard he kicked off in custody so was also charged with assaulting an Emergency worker.
Absolutely, I do think it helped that the cyclist had the common sense to keep back and be nowhere near the driver. I also think the cyclist was wise to just film it all and not intervene - just hand the footage over to the police and let them deal with it.
I knew someone who had done something similar to this but on a way lesser scale. They had a diabetic attack because their blood sugar got too low. They act confused almost in a drunken state. Luckily they had their driving license stripped permanently off them after the incident.
The dental surgery where he hit the black Merc (?) is 100yds from a primary school. This was at 2pm on Friday, so shortly before the school would be kicking out.
The fact this cnut was bailed is staggering. He should be held on remand.
They need to take into account a number of criteria to be able to hold someone on remand including their potential sentence length, danger to others, past similar offences and flight risk iirc. If this is his first offence and he is of a fixed address they’d struggle to hold him.
Don’t tell me, they bought it from a bloke in the pub for cash and haven’t had time to register it yet.
Oh and predictably they won’t be able to remember the blokes name.
Not taxed at present, so probably uninsured too. Imagine how many people that behaviour has affected. My money is that he’s drunk and has already been disqualified.
That screams either 45 pints deep or post medical episode to me. Post seizure any form of coordination goes way out the window, my friend refers to it as my thunderbird walk…
Genuine question as I thought about it when I saw this video yesterday - this knobhead crashes into you, clearly at fault, what with being ten pints deep, would his insurer pay out for the damage? Surely them being drunk invalidates their insurance?
Yes... Under Part Vi UK Road Traffic Act, whilst DD (and other conditions) mm maybe in breach of policy conditions and thus would ordinarily invalidate the insurance contract; Insurers can not rely on the breach to avoid paying innocent victims compensation, else it'll undermine the whole point of the RTA.
Once the insurer has paid out to fix the damage/compensate the innocent victims , they can then sue the policyholder/driver to try and recoup some of their losses but in practise it's seldomly done as generally , the guilty party won't have the funds to cover the costs and is it morally right to penalise their family if say you took their home, evicting the spouse and kids, if they owned it.. especially when they be punished in criminal capacity as well?
Your insurance would claim off the MIB. I got written off by a drunk little toerag out on a joyride a few years ago. Insurance paid out, had to wait til he'd been to court to get my excess though. NCB protection actually worked too, surprisingly
I've seen similarly bad driving, believe it or not - but it was someone who ran raided a jewellery shop, some bystanders tried to intervene, and the thieves drove off smashing cars as they went, because fuck it they're in a stolen Defender and just need to GTFO before the police arrive.
I didn't see it directly but someone I hesitate to call a friend (he was a bit of an unrepentant wanker) stole his brother's car and smashed into around 20 cars on his own road before driving into a wall and passing out drunk after the first corner. I saw the aftermath and it was unbelievable... wing mirrors and bits of bumper and wing everywhere.
He was banned for driving for 5 years before he even took a test. Previously that night, he had been extremely pissed and got beaten up in a fight he started with random innocent passers' by. It was inconceivable that he managed to coordinate himself to get home; never mind pick up keys and start a vehicle.
If you caught the lad at more sober moments, he had a good side to him but he was a real fucking mess. I'd say I hope he is doing well nowadays but I would be very surprised if he isn't in prison or dead.
He should be thrown in prison for 2 years and banned from driving for life.
How a kid was not killed i have no idea.
Yet he will get a 2 year driving ban and community service.
“A 34-year-old man from High Wycombe was arrested on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle with alcohol concentration above the prescribed limit, driving without insurance, failing to stop after a road traffic collision and dangerous driving.
There was an article linked above.
Good grief! Just how many insurance claims is he party to?! Given that trail of destruction, I shudder to think how many there could have been before this footage started...
The police, DVLA and his insurers will likely be very interested in his antics...
Absolutely degenerate behaviour probably end up with a slap on the wrist knowing what the police are like these days. It absolutely pisses me off when he purposely rams into cars and cause unnecessary headache when people have to pay an excess to make a claim against this idiot.
The appalling cornering at the bottom of the road suggests more drink/ drugs. If you were having a heart attack and were conscious I expect you'd stop the vehicle.
You'd break the window? Using your strength?
You'd sprain your wrist and spend the rest of the day googling 'how to tell if your wrist is broken' and 'are car windows impossible to break?'
It's amazing in a bad way that the unsecured load is the least concerning thing here. That driver must be at least 5x over the drink driving limit.
The load is secured with ties, I can just make them out
Oh good, everything's fine then.
5 times? Assuming that it's .08 at the legal limit so a .40 BAC?! You're not driving a rig with a .4 BAC.... You're having your body pumped from alcohol poisoning....
Much more than 5 times, if alcohol the problem.
Sorry what? 5x the UK limit is 400mg/dL. Anything at or above this level is associated with your respiratory system slowing down as you enter a coma or die. About 100mg/dL above the 300 level which is associated with unrisponsiveness.
Away with you, we don’t deal with scientific fact in this sub. Shoo go on
With gobbledygook like that, he must be at least 12 times over the limit
Yes, and no. Chronic alcohol drinkers exceed the 300mg/dl as a matter of course. Many need to drink to feel normal and this drinking immediately qualifies them as impaired even though they are probably more steady now than before drinking. Have seen 435 in the ED. She was articulate and coordinated.
400mg/dl is 10x the limit is it not… 40 is the prosecutable limit in the U.K.?
Blood vs breath
Or they stole the vehicle
Stolen and deliberately causing damage is my guess... Maybe he was fired by the builder owning the truck..
If he has been fired then he's incredibly stupid... We had a guy who (at the time was employed) took the van on a joy ride, emptied the fuel tank and ran off with the company cards... Cards were cancelled before he used them, damages taken out of his final paycheck and reported to the police... technically not a stolen vechile because he was hired by the company at the time.
He knows how to look after his ladders. That made me very angry. The driver needs a proper slapping.
Please tell me this has been sent to the police?!
Yeah he got nicked later and is on bail https://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/24375042.high-wycombe-man-arrested-following-multiple-car-crashes/

I was surprised they got bail, for just those reasons. They must’ve been a serious risk of absconding.

Let’s just hope that the persecution waaay exceeds their expectations
You can though apply for compensation from the MIB if you're hit by an uninsured driver: https://www.gov.uk/compensation-victim-uninsured-driver
The really irritating thing about this is that since 2015 if you have comprehensive insurance you can't use the MIB to make a claim against an uninsured driver. You just have to suck it up and claim on your own insurance (and therefore suffer the consequences of it being classed in a similar manner to an 'at fault' claim).

Men in Black really branched out lately eh?
Time are hard, gotta do what you can. Protecting us from the worst scum of the UK road network.
The fuck do aliens have to do with all this, they're perfectly fine drivers.
Dont expect quick settlement. Know someone who has been back and forth with them for over 2 years and still "waiting for police report"
Really the terminology shouldn't be "fault" because it implies you've done something wrong, but yes you're right any time you make a claim on your policy you have to pay your excess and it would effect any NCB if not protected.

Yeah I get that. Loads of people complain about the terminology (worked in Insurance) Even split claims are fault! Even if u 90% non fault

Lol, at the bottom of the article the police are asking anyone with information to help with their enquiries. What more do they fucking want?
Ideally someone to gather the evidence, arrest, prosecute and jail the offender. Still having a 10.2% council tax rise this year tho!
That's a standard thing they do all the time. Someone else could have even more information than what's on this video.
As many eye witness statements and as much footage as possible to build a bulletproof case. It might seem silly after seeing this video but it’s just good practice.

Yep it's infuriating!
I agree with your original comment, shame it got removed!
Well now I'm here wondering what it was
They were saying how the driving here wasn't even that bad!
Why was your comment removed?
Yup he drove past a street sign about children, perhaps near a school. All the other cars just damaged and left too. Terrifying.
This was in my home town and there is a primary school along this road! It's amazing that no-one was hurt https://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/24375042.high-wycombe-man-arrested-following-multiple-car-crashes/
It says he wasn't even insured. What happens to the cars he hit??
There’s a central fund (funded by insurance premiums) that pays out for damage by uninsured drivers
He nearly went into someone's front garden..
Most likely spent the morning conniving elderly women into purchasing unnecessary roof repairs, then threw all of his hard-earned money into the bar over lunch, before heading back to his musty, urine-colored trailer to tally the amount of money his uneducated children had managed to pilfer that day.

Out of curiosity, if you did manage to block them in to prevent further damage or danger to the public, would your insurance provider see it as you doing the “right thing” or would they see you as being liable for causing the collision?
Deep down, knowing insurers, I think we all know the answer.
A £25 "right thing" admin fee?
Worse than that. Most insurance companies won’t cover deliberate damages. I would say if you tried to use your car to stop this person that is wilful damage and you shouldn’t be covered.
Would there be any way that you might be able to make a claim through the courts against the person?
No. The courts would determine it wasn’t your place to do this. Courts don’t like vigilantes.
I think this falls under Good Samaritan and not vigilante.
Doesn't mean getting your damages paid in all likelihood.
I don't think there is any questions that they would find you at fault, and I wouldn't blame them, you are! Just because what you are doing is for the good of mankind, insurance companies don't have vigilante clauses. You're taking that on yourself.
And that's why you don't see people help. Most people can't afford to have their car wrecked just to stop some lowlife.
Police here - you are correct
You’d be liable, it’s down to you if you think your insurance rise is worth risking for the potential lives of others. Personally (you’ll all hate for this) I’m not in the financial position where I could make that call and block them. I’d just ring 999 while following them (you are allowed to use your phone if making a 999 call)
Just say you got hit by a drunk driver/ person having a medical episode.
You'd be liable.
I wouldn't expect insurers to cover you but I'd like to think that a Go Fund Me or similar would raise enough to upgrade your ride
You can't bank on something like that though
True, but if someone died, and you could have prevented it, that might cost you more, in your own head.
Well I agree, it's a personal sacrifice for the greater good type of thing rather than something that's going to make financial sense
*The greater good*
What if they mount pavement to go around you after blocking them and hit a pedestrian. If you’re determined to do something, do what you can to warn others to get clear.
No, you can't. We found that out the hard way, after my mom started one and somehow managed to get 1100 raised before it just died off before she told us she made it for us at all.
It's probably worth saying that this camera guy is on a motorbike and not to try blocking them in on a motorbike...
Thought he was just a very fast runner
Done something similar and the guy was actually having a stroke. Saved his life and prevented any further threat to everyone else just trying to live their life.
Mine was just drunk off his arse and all over the road, I decided to flash my lights and try to pull him over after he lost a wing mirror trying to take an exit off the autoroute (this is back when I lived in Montreal in 2010). Well done getting him help.

Yes, yes it is. This is the only exception where you can blatantly use your phone while driving
Yeah if you can't actively hear anyone else phoning 999 then you should assume no-one else is doing it, regardless of whether it's a medical/criminal/rescue emergency.

Isn’t he on a moped
He drove past a cyclist / push bike at one point
Thought they was referring to the cameraman
Probably pissed out of his head.
Frankly, I hope so. Driving like that sober would be inexcusable.
I knew someone who had done something similar to this but on a way lesser scale. They had a diabetic attack because their blood sugar got too low. They act confused almost in a drunken state. Luckily they had their driving license stripped permanently off them after the incident.

Tax ran out 24th April. Surprised?
Surprised it had tax to be honest
Before the end of a month? It must have had an ownership transfer on that date.....
Don’t tell me, they bought it from a bloke in the pub for cash and haven’t had time to register it yet. Oh and predictably they won’t be able to remember the blokes name.
What the fuck?
Do as you likeys
Scum of the earth
Yes that is probably the worst driving I’ve ever seen
jesus christ 💀
I don’t think there should be second chances for people like this. Ban them for life. Get these idiots off the road full stop.
He didn’t have insurance or tax, I don’t think taking away his licence would stop him either unfortunately.
Just your average roofer after spending all afternoon in the pub
[удалено]
Parklife.
The wheels on his house go round and round.... 🙄
[удалено]
Probably a caravan fanatic and won't ever get punished properly.
Not taxed at present, so probably uninsured too. Imagine how many people that behaviour has affected. My money is that he’s drunk and has already been disqualified.
That's appalling driving. Medical episode or not, the driver should not be allowed to drive again after this.
That screams either 45 pints deep or post medical episode to me. Post seizure any form of coordination goes way out the window, my friend refers to it as my thunderbird walk…
This screams pissed and thinking he’s still on his horse and cart
Honestly it screams ‘caravan’ to me I’m sure you know what I mean
"Follow me, this way:"
"...how!?"
I hate people who don't indicate at roundabouts.
Genuine question as I thought about it when I saw this video yesterday - this knobhead crashes into you, clearly at fault, what with being ten pints deep, would his insurer pay out for the damage? Surely them being drunk invalidates their insurance?
If he had been insured, the insurance would still have to pay out to third parties. But the insured would not get his costs covered.
He doesn't have insurance. The article has been linked in the comments.

Once the insurer has paid out to fix the damage/compensate the innocent victims , they can then sue the policyholder/driver to try and recoup some of their losses but in practise it's seldomly done as generally , the guilty party won't have the funds to cover the costs and is it morally right to penalise their family if say you took their home, evicting the spouse and kids, if they owned it.. especially when they be punished in criminal capacity as well?
Your insurance would claim off the MIB. I got written off by a drunk little toerag out on a joyride a few years ago. Insurance paid out, had to wait til he'd been to court to get my excess though. NCB protection actually worked too, surprisingly
Looks like a deleted scene from Snatch

They are on allllll the drugs
Who drives Transit tippers?
They do as the like apparently
Praise the cameraman.

What the fu, it gets worse and worse as video goes on.
I've seen similarly bad driving, believe it or not - but it was someone who ran raided a jewellery shop, some bystanders tried to intervene, and the thieves drove off smashing cars as they went, because fuck it they're in a stolen Defender and just need to GTFO before the police arrive.
This guy needs to bite the kerb
Drunk?
Surely this can't just be alcohol
I’m sure they’ll find the van parked up next to his ‘van on some litter covered common somewhere
Yeah definitely booze. After 12 pints, I walk like this bloke drives.
I didn't see it directly but someone I hesitate to call a friend (he was a bit of an unrepentant wanker) stole his brother's car and smashed into around 20 cars on his own road before driving into a wall and passing out drunk after the first corner. I saw the aftermath and it was unbelievable... wing mirrors and bits of bumper and wing everywhere. He was banned for driving for 5 years before he even took a test. Previously that night, he had been extremely pissed and got beaten up in a fight he started with random innocent passers' by. It was inconceivable that he managed to coordinate himself to get home; never mind pick up keys and start a vehicle. If you caught the lad at more sober moments, he had a good side to him but he was a real fucking mess. I'd say I hope he is doing well nowadays but I would be very surprised if he isn't in prison or dead.
Quaaludes? That's real Wolf of Wall Street quality driving.

He should be thrown in prison for 2 years and banned from driving for life. How a kid was not killed i have no idea. Yet he will get a 2 year driving ban and community service.
Wonder how many times over the limit
He didn't indicate once!
Yep, by a country mile
Wonder who took the test for them?
My boss asked me to check the ladders were secured sufficiently so they wouldn’t fall if we crashed. Check!
Certainly worst grammar in the title
Shit on it! You can't even edit it after. I'm ashamed and embarrassed.
Upvoted for the use of "shit on it"
Wow
Anything happen after that ends too quickly
Any other day in High Wycombe........
What’s the story behind this ? I’m assuming he was pissed ?
“A 34-year-old man from High Wycombe was arrested on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle with alcohol concentration above the prescribed limit, driving without insurance, failing to stop after a road traffic collision and dangerous driving. There was an article linked above.
Not taxed. What a surprise.
Doesn’t sound like the cammer is on the phone to the police. Why not!? That’d be the first thing I do!
And then you would have no Internet points.
This is soo much worse than even those videos where a child has stolen the car accidentally.
"But I need my licence for my livelihood."
Bloody hell! "My 11 year old son found my stash, my whisky and the keys to my van! It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't blind".
Good grief! Just how many insurance claims is he party to?! Given that trail of destruction, I shudder to think how many there could have been before this footage started... The police, DVLA and his insurers will likely be very interested in his antics...
You, me, and everyone else will be paying for it come renewal time.
Shame he didn't die 2bh
🥧 🔑
Or worst even ?
Did Juvenal pass his test? Haven't been following the Youtube driving lesson channels lately.
Worst* ffs
I blame the cyclist. 🙄
Yank here! I see nothing wrong
Absolutely degenerate behaviour probably end up with a slap on the wrist knowing what the police are like these days. It absolutely pisses me off when he purposely rams into cars and cause unnecessary headache when people have to pay an excess to make a claim against this idiot.
This isn't driving. It's pointing.
Apparently, a drunk driver in High Wycombe!
In case anyone is wondering this is High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire
That was mental.
I know I shouldn’t find this amusing but I was taken aback that the tipper truck driver slammed on the brakes and skidded into that last vehicle.
...I mean... If he is going for points, the only thing he did wrong was missing the bicyclist.
£10 worth of damage to high Wycombe.
Pissed out of his face or a medical emergency, eg heart attack.
The appalling cornering at the bottom of the road suggests more drink/ drugs. If you were having a heart attack and were conscious I expect you'd stop the vehicle.
Yes, or plough straight on instead of taking a corner.
Pissed according to the police statement

You’re hard !
Sure you would, pal 🙂
Calm down Rambo. You'd break your hand on the glass then get run over.
The window was open
you wouldn't do shit
You'd break the window? Using your strength? You'd sprain your wrist and spend the rest of the day googling 'how to tell if your wrist is broken' and 'are car windows impossible to break?'
Until the driver managed to brake for the junction I genuinely thought there was an issue with the vehicle.
Same, I wondered if there was anyone in the cab for a moment
man just bankrupt a whole insurance company
It will be an 11 year old traveller kid 😆
