madxrcabby Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 this is the thing though, there's allways someone to blame in an accident, no matter what falling asleep or pure lack of concentration, its still someones fault, and hardly anyone on here gets slated for doing such like, jump on the band waggon as usual ...... glad you were both ok anyways apart from a broken leg, got off lightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An accident is a specific, identifiable, unexpected, unusual and unintended external action which occurs in a particular time and place, without apparent or deliberate cause. hardly the case here is it.

I have worked some of the most god awful mad hours jobs miles from home you'd care to imagine, from 3 shift double shifting to driving halfway across the country and half way back after a days work everyday for 14monthes straight and I can honestly put my hand up and say that if I felt tired, I didnt drive till I slept, even if that meant curling up in a snow covered car and kipping for a couple of hours.
