Matt86 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I hope he did??? he fell asleap at the wheel!!!! I was nearly killed as a kid by a woman falling asleap at the wheel, there is no excuse, take a break. It would be the same if he was drunk, stoned or on his mobile, its just not acceptable!?!

meltonlad Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) he did lose his job due to the accident and that he should have stayed in scotland for the night but he thought he would drive over 1000 miles in a day so he could have the next day off.... instead of driving back from scotland. he had worked over 22 hrs none stop.... that is so wrong and i think he got what he had coming to him.....

Richie_Si Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I would recommend not driving after a long shift. My mate worked 8 - 5 at the estate agents, then 7 - 3 at the local bar. He then drove a mate home and on the way back crashed his car (a £9000 BMW 3 Series) into a tree. He had two strokes, a dislocated shoulder (which he still has 2 months later!), collapsed lung, 2 blood clots (neck and brain) and damaged liver and kidney. He has finally come through it now but he regrets not just going home at 5. Don't do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
