I read about this when it happened. had a quick look but I couldn't find any follow up on an investigation.

there's a video of the crash here, and footage of the same car before the crash with a group of prom kids huffing balloons.

God, hope the Royal Mail driver is ok after that.

Poor Royal Mail driver, that wasn't an accident they smashed straight into him going down the wrong lane.

Are you saying the driver of the stupid blue car deliberately drove head on into the van? I have watched the video and it looks like that. But it can’t be right.
Fucked up situation either way

Since when the fuck is prom a thing in the uk?

The kids doing nitrous balloons definitely isn’t a good omen.

Someone in the video says don't gas and drive.
Looks like that could have been a possibility, sudden blackout and swerved into oncoming van. Definitely wasn't and overtaking manoeuvre.

Yeah I am assuming shenanigans in the blue car led to the crash. bunch of fucking idiots.
but the darker proposition that they deliberately drove head on in to the van is what I was questioning.

I didn't say deliberately into that specific van, but they caused the crash with active behaviour, it's not like their tyre blew or they drove over an oil patch.

Definitely wasn't and overtaking manoeuvre.
Looked like an overtake to me

With his eyes closed? Surely he would have pulled out to the right, seen the van and tried to pull left again?
-
• #415
ah, gotcha. guess somewhere between being an accident and being deliberate. manslaughter not murder. they are fucking idiots and it is a scary proposition having to share the roads with people like that.

The whole Prom thing is ridiculous, parents spending hundreds on dresses and cars is common. Some of my daughters year spent £400 on dresses that were worn for 2 hours before they changed into after Prom Party dresses.
My daughter spent £39 on a dress and hired a Lime bike. -

Couldn't see any tyre smoke but wonder if it broke traction during the overtake and driver couldn't pull it back or if they just turned around or something because shenanigans was going on.

wot no limo bike?

I guess we'll never know. The only thing you can bank on is those types of cars are almost exclusively driven by cunts.

If it's good enough for forum wedding...

On the video there's a zoomed in and slowed down part showing the crash, in the first frame you can see the right indicator light flash. They were going for the overtake.
-
• #424
Are they two lanes over though? and the lack of attempt to avoid the van?
-
• #425
I never said they were a competent driver 🤷
They do slam on the brakes and try to swerve left (which doesn't work as it weighs a tonne and has the anchors full on)
Ah, righto. That's more fucked then. Poor kids.
This does seem like guns in the USA though - how many people need to die or be injured before everyone thinks "you know what, supercars and SUVs and 0-60 in 3s cars don't belong on the roads"
