Mike C Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 This is Jackster's old car, but I didn't put that in the title 'cos I wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong end of the stick and think she'd had a shunt today. Anyway, it's a bit of a mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danposs86 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Ouch! What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Lorry hit the side, hence wheel/rubber mark she was overtaking on the motorway, lorry just pulled out, sent her spinning dunno if she will be able to tell you much more than that as it probably happened so fast considering there's not much actual damage to the side tho, considering a lorry wheel will be 22.5" wrapped in a massive amount of rubber, it must have been more a scrape than a dead on "hit", but even a slight brush from something like that with the car moving away as a natural evasive action would easily lead to losing control, spinning and ending up with a right mess at both ends considering there's not much actual damage to the side tho, considering a lorry wheel will be 22.5" wrapped in a massive amount of rubber, it must have been more a scrape than a dead on "hit", but even a slight brush from something like that with the car moving away as a natural evasive action would easily lead to losing control, spinning and ending up with a right mess at both ends considering there's not much actual damage to the side tho, considering a lorry wheel will be 22.5" wrapped in a massive amount of rubber, it must have been more a scrape than a dead on "hit", but even a slight brush from something like that with the car moving away as a natural evasive action would easily lead to losing control, spinning and ending up with a right mess at both ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackster Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 The car in background was ours at one point, shortly after having the accident but that had a prang aswell, lol, so sold it on soon after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 ouch that does look nasty!! glad u was ok Jackie kinda worrying that a golf did the same thing to me a few weeks back, clipping my rear drivers side and sending me spinning. luckily for me the only other impact was when i was nearly stopped and in the same position on the car as the other car had hit me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackster Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Amazingly i ended up facing the right way almost in the hard shoulder, luckily there wasnt more traffic around considering it was the A2 on a week night just after 5pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon_escortsi Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Notice the rubber mark is on the drivers side, therefore over taking on the left. The lorry still shoud have seen her but it is harder/ they have double mirriors to aviod this kind of acciddent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_2f2f Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 ouch jackster, glad your ok considering its front and back damage, were you spinning against the barrier? if you know what i mean, front back front back etc... white as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lorry still shoud have seen her but it is harder/ they have double mirriors to aviod this kind of acciddent! Rubber mark is on the passenger side matey, i wasnt under cutting, for some reason the picture scanned as a mirror image, you can tell the drivers side hit the barrier because of the extent of the front damage which doesnt show on the rubber mark picture. The rubber mark was the lorry tyre catching passenger side which sent me spinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 I said the same, lol, but look at the number plate, pic is mirrored! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon_escortsi Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 o yea i can see now, my mistake, the reg plate is backwards so image is reverse. was it a left hand drive lorry? i saw it on 5th gear happens quite often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
