*** The official car accident thread***

Crossing is one thing. What does annoy me is people walking to the side of the road and taking up half the lane and vehicles have to swerve to avoid them.

story says they from same area and guy used to work in same company as her
very sad

[Les Bain]

After getting into ETS2 and the related let's play videos on YouTube, the algorithm taught me learn how much of a blind spot truckers operate in. It's astonishing.

But long before that, my parents taught me the importance of pedestrian safety where buses and trucks are concerned.

Hearing about some accident this morning. Is that what causing traffic into POS ?

What red light?

there was a rather informative video showing where the way some potted plants are put, block the view of traffic lights in the day, and the building behind having lights which flash red blue and other colors making it hard to discern the light

found it

Truck and taxi collide at Piarco intersection

[The_Honourable]

Both trying to beat the red light

Traffic light take 4-5 seconds to change. Truck had distance and enough time to slow down and stop at the white line... but he didn't cause the accident.

7-seater is an ass to cut in front of a moving truck at a speed just before the intersection with bold white lines endangering lives (especially if he had passengers).

Looks like the truck man (had CSI speculation here and) decided to run the light cause he wouldn't have stopped in time.
Taxi man looked like he disagreed with the vehicle ahead of him obeying the light so he decided to switch lanes, gunning it to run the light.

If the truck couldn't stop in time then the driver is not responsible enough to be driving such a vehicle on the nations roads

goodwill for H cars used up a long time ago - same drive accustomed using on cars - so luck ran out.

Hope passengers are ok.

Nailed it… this is the second time I witness a smash up by piarco yes,

The Rav 4 infront of me get a proper wipe down on the side as well, broken light, window and side mirror.

Piarco this morning

People fail to remember that the amber light means to stop once it is safe to do so. So once the light turns amber, unless based on the speed you are going you will end up in the middle of the intersection, you are supposed to stop.

[Les Bain]

Was tempted to park up in Piarco Plaza to gawk at the truck recovery. Police were using some of the spilled material to soak up the vehicular fluids that escaped. I wonder how long it took to clear, and what they used to do so.

Wallerfield, 1 dead

[zorced]

Hey 2nrs I could use some advice here. My wife car got hit by a drunk driver who crossed the median..

The police said they cannot release the car until they do their inspection, which is being kept back until he's released from hospital.

We did our own digging and found out that he will be in the hospital for a long time so then the police changed their story to needing an unspecified amount of days to do the inspection.

We really want to get the car out of the station to cover her loss of use but also the car is less than a year old and in a vulnerable state in an open parking lot.

The insurance company should have something to say or advise on that. Talk to your broker, rep, claims department, adjusters, 3rd party adjusters.

Thanks. Trying to work with them but they not cooperating as much without the claim form. Eventually found out we could send the form without the estimate section completed.
