More bad somersaults on the I o W

Ah, one more Island driver struck down with this mysterious illness which causes the right foot to depress and the hands jerk the wheel abruptly.
OR
Perhaps it was the other common occurrence here, the vehicle suddenly leaping off the road as so many ‘apparently’ seem to do so on this island.
We at least know it is never ‘drivers’ being careless, impatient, drunk or drugged, if those on here are to be believed.
As an expert on RTA’s perhaps you would like to inform us of the reason for the accident, if not kindly Zip it.
One of these days it maybe someone close to you who has an accident and some clown starts making assumptions without the facts.
Defending bad drivers but recalling Karma?
Kev, WHAT is the point in having a comments box, when the ‘facts’ are not disclosed? I guess in your naïve little mind, the purpose is, like the mindless comments on Facebook etc, JUST to say ‘RiP’ if they are dead, or, just to say ‘I hope they make a full recovery’ if injured.
That goes WITHOUT saying, so just WHAT do you want to ‘read’ on here??
Because you comment on everything Then always bring drink and drugs and Ryde into every incident I dont live in Ryde but theres more bad places on the island then Ryde Guessing you live out in the sticks where you have no neighbours or friends to talk too
Was there another vehicle involved ? or was this the second single vehicle ‘accident’ today ?
Apparently we have to just ‘cluck’ our sympathy, and blame anything and everything other than the ‘likely’ reason for the ‘accident’.
We aren’t allowed to speculate as too more likely reasons, despite the rest of us using the highways daily and remaining upright.
No wonder so many criminals walk free
Just wait and see what has happen.
*stares at watch*
Taking an awfully long time, anyone fancy a pint?
More bad driving on the I o w
I cannot believe so many nasty and insensitive comments on here what if it was your family member be bloody ashamed this lady was not driving wrecklessly it was my son’s friends nan on her way to pick up her grandson from school show some bloody compassion and empathy everybody has to speculate without knowing anything!!!
Some people still believe it is Guilty until proven Innocent. There have been some vile comments made recently by people who just want to see their name-tag on the page, without thinking or caring about who they might upset
It is only natural to question how the car came to be on its roof. Either it is bad driving or there is a problem with the road etc. If there is a problem we need to know what it is so that we can avoid it surely
KJ
So, HOW did the car end up as it was? Hard to do that driving at the legal speed limit, unless hit by someone who wasn’t.
Were you in the car ,how does someone roll a car on a 30mph road ,you wouldn’t be showing compassion if she’d hit someone you know, another elderly driver that refused to give up there license and put everyone else at danger
Well said, there are some real idiots on here who make inappropriate comments on a regular basis. As usual they are making nasty comments without any knowledge of the circumstances.
Well said! I was helping gay (thats her nickname) and contacting her neighbour for her. She was not drunk or driving reckless it was a simple accident involving a very nice lady who luckily wasn’t injured just shaken up after and upset. Hope she had an enjoyable birthday after all that and the hospital visit xx
Well said
This lady is an upstanding, hard working, caring and compassionate member of this community. Please feel free to say anything you like if it has any facts involved. Speculation and blame says more about you as a person than who this lady is. She was not drunk, she was not speeding, she was not reckless, and does not deserve to have unkind and uninformed comments. It was an accident and she and the car are being looked at to determine cause. She is shaken and unhappy and cant believe how unkind people can be. Nobody was hurt, the car has a dent and it could happen to anyone. Please be kinder and show how compassionate all the other upstanding members of this community can be.
Surprise no one hasn’t said fixed liink
Probably because a fixed link will never happen, car crashes do
