ivanava Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 on a blind bend in the dark.. are do accidents only happen on the straight bits in daylight.. What's the police advice about dealing with accidents on the m/w.. they're the experts after all... How many blind bends do you come across on motorways?

truman Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 That would depend on visibility but daylight and in reasonable weather it should be easy for anyone that is paying attention to the traffic conditions ahead. Why not try it without there being an accident 100metres in front of you? If it's safe for one situation it should be safe for both... ---------- Post added 09-09-2013 at 14:05 ---------- How many blind bends do you come across on motorways? There are lots where you can't see for a mile.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daid Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Is this perhaps how traffic jams occur. Lots of people parking up in an attempt to protect the parked car in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanava Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Oh, I get it now! You're chuckling behind your computer screen at we the outraged who are taking your posts seriously, well done you had me suckered! My posts are serous, and I have no idea why you are finding them difficult to understand. My guess is the majority of you are the rubber neckers and not people that are willing to help someone in need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivanava Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I could maybe park 100m behind yours, would that help? If you drive a lorry that would be a nice, at least then my car would also be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that would be stupid and illegal whereas rending assistance in the manner that I have described is correct practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Why would I do that? what would be the point? I've stopped to render assistance to a possible casualty, not sit and watch. Are you trained to render assistance? Or would you be like the hysterical woman who stood over me screaming "Don't touch him, don't touch him" while I was trying to check that a cyclist lying in the road was still breathing? She was so hysterical that even when she phoned 999 I had to take the phone off her because she couldn't/wouldn't answer the operator's questions, she was just shouting "I think he's dead, get here quickly" (he wasn't dead, but if he was it wouldn't need a quick response would it). She was no help what so ever and would have done me and the poor sod who was lying in the road a huge favour if she's just cleared off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
