“kewstu and gasetta, people have to learn to drive bomb disposal vehicles. Thoughts to all concerned. It may have just been an accident, why try and apportion blame immediately.”

“@Gassetta it was a bomb disposal team, and not a MOD learner, if you have nothing to say which is constructive why don't you just shut up.”

“Thoughts to all involved..
I dont no the facts to this colision,but some peoples driving yesterday in the heaviest downpours we've had in along time was totaly unacceptable - aquaplaning,swerving around standing water into the path of other vehicles,tailgating.steamed up windows,over taking.not reducing speed..
Were not immortal in our little tin boxs.
rant over.”

“gassetta..the driver was a 54 year old man, why are you insinuating it would have been a learner driver. When the weather is bad it's not making a Mistake it's being able to control the vehicle.”

“it would have been a MOD driver in training, from Leconfield, the weather was bad, and that roads very dangerous,
its easy for either driver to have made a mistake, my sympathies to her family,”
