Hi there,
I had an accident yesterday, decided to share my pain with you...
I was driving with my girlfriend home on saturday afternoon when slowly running old Skoda with a trailer appeared in front of me. Without any doubts I decided to overtake him (I drove about 50 mph), BUT when I was next to his trailer, he turned sharply to the left on the side road (without signal and checking mirrors) and just crossed my way (I live in LHD country), I braked as hard as I could and tried to avoid the accident by turning left too, but with no success and I hit him at about 20 or 30 mph, so I reduced consequeces a little. I drive this road almost every day and I have never seen anybody turning to that that road.
The skoda was in very poor condition (no rear bumper, rust all over the car, NO WORKING LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS) and moreover that car was not insured and even not registred.
Obviously it was all skodadriver's faul, so damage on my car will be paid by insurance company.
The driver of that skoda said he was just going for wood (about 2 miles far from his house) and now he's in real trouble, because all of these circumstances like no insurance and so on. I feel sorry for him, he was all the time very polite and he seemed to us like he has not much money to waste... It was whole very unpleasant for me and still is. I wish that guy will recover from these difficulties as soon as possible.
I wish you a lot of miles without accidents!
Hope it is understandable, I am still not an English skilla.
