Yeah, with the close shaves I've had, I sometimes think someone up there has a very strange exit strategy for me.

Looks very similar to the woman who crashed into the Harrier at Wittering earlier this year. Fuel tank straight through the windscreen, driver walked away with barely a scratch.
Incredible, (both accidents) no doubt you'd end with a very different perspective on life after that sort of thing.

I thought the same thing, but someone managed it. I'll see if I still got the picture of it.

Yes it's real.

I couldn't find my picture, but this link gives a good idea especially the first picture.

Not so lucky was a driver in front of me coming South from Aberdeen circa 1989.

He had driven up the back of a tractor with a plough on the back (5 blades).
I was 2nd on the scene, the chap was dead & I was advised not to look - beheaded.
My involvement was my car phone 999 call for police etc
(mobile phones were around £3,000 & thin on the ground)

The tractor driver said he had the yellow flasher on the roof working - it was when driver #1 arrived but we were suspicious that it was put on after the collision as it would be difficult to miss a strong flashing light in the complete darkness of the dual carriageway - 7pm ish in November

In my neck of the woods it amazes me how many trailers, towed by agricultural vehicles, have no connected lights. Tractors normally have yellow flashing lights, but LRovers and pick ups towing trailers, livestock or whatever, are regularly without lights. Often during hours of darkness.
The few local police don’t seem to care

Same around here. Rural hazards.
