Sooo..... things happen. Don't automatically judge someone.
Thanks for backing me, my crash sounds alot like this, except my car hit the side of the 1st house in a row of 6, but again no one was hurt.

OK guys ease off, lets get some things straight.
1) the road I crashed on is completely different to the 1 i was doing 150 on.
The road i was doing 150 on is a motorway, it has crash barriers and everything and no houses and i could clearly see right up the road.
The road i crashed on was a single carriageway country road out of town, it had a 60mph limit and i was doing 40mph when I crashed.
2) I only mentioned street racing earlier because because some freak on here was getting all "holier than thou" and having a go at me when he himself had made posts about him street racing, something which imho is worse than going over the speed limit.
3)Why should having a crash stop me driving fast now, I didn't crash because I was speeding. You know what they say about falling off a horse.
4) I'm not really that bothered what you hypocritical yanks think of me and the original post should of just said "ha ha i don't have a shitty 7th gen anymore I have a 2.2 vtec prelude!"

I am qualified enough to say it was his fault unless there was another car coming at him. But you never know he could have been drinking or just being careless. The fact that he was only going 40 in a 60 is the part that makes me think there is more he isn't telling us.

^^^^^I am not trying to fight with you. I have my conclusions you have yours. Once he actually tells us what happened then we will know who had the right one lol. But so far he hasn't said anything about another car in his lane. Or an animal in the way or something. **** if there was an animal he could have stopped if he saw but he may have not been paying attention. He might have been stoned. So while he keeps dancing around the reason he ran into a my conclusions are he is trying to make up a reason why because he doesn't want to look like a dumba$$.

he is explaining himself clearly imho.
I would like an explanation of how this quote is defending anyone. I simply presented my interpretation of what had been presented at that juncture.

Again, you are failing to see that I'm not defending anyone. I am merely not joining the offenders. Nowhere have I said that he is correct in stating that the accident was not his fault. I still feel he is the most qualified among those involved in this thread to make that determination.

No, I didn't say this. I'm not on his side here, I'm on my own side. Don't mix the two.

Exactly what were you trying to get at here? This is filth.

Have you ever considered that it is a distinguishing feature of a fool to make judgements before all facts have been presented? I am not a fool for deciding not to stand by whilst someone is flamed for no reason. At no point have I defended anyone here. I have offered some gems of thought for those who were attacking this individual as though through some cosmic chain of command they decide who is at fault in an accident they clearly know next to nothing about.

Master can question the story all he wants -- what I don't feel he can do, however, is pass judgement on that story. As for you MREEZYSMRS, I hardly believe you or Master are qualified in this case to say who is right or wrong. Furthermore, I don't believe you've presented yourself a suitable judge for my grammar, even if this was an appropriate venue for such a discussion.
