Accident Report
Oct. 8th, 2003 10:55 pmJust went downstairs and found my post for the day... including a copy of the police report into the accident. The other driver's statement has got some great highlights... I particularly like the bit where he says the accident was my fault because I "had a good view" of him and therefore "could have gone around" him. With hindsight I have to say I wish I had decided to steer around him, instead of 'deciding' to plow into him at 30mph ;)
Update: the guy is a year younger than me, and he'd only had a driving licence for a year at the time of the accident. I'd assumed it was an older guy for some reason - probably because it was such a bloody stupid bit of driving. The inexperience might account for that though. With a bit of luck he'll check more carefully before he does his next 3-point turn...
