Take a corner taken at speed, the vehicle enters a skid, then the positive energy from the EA is absorbed by a power pole.
Whilst you are skidding you are thinking about one thing, I should of been wearing my seatbelt!     We eventually tracked down the driver who initially fled and there you go a quick pictorial lesson in physics of a EA and EA driver in motion.

Damn. I have no sympathy at all for drink drivers.
A guy from my school, hasnt got his P's yet, but hes parents were away on holidayz and had a recently purchased honda accord. Took it out going in excess of 150km in residential areas, under the influenceof alcohol. Went around a roundabout and hit a tree.The car was absolutely rooted, and he luckily fell out which meant he wasnt wearing a seatbelt. Doctors say if it was like 2mm further into his vertebrae or something he wouldve been paralyzed. Just goes to show how thick some people are. I guess the not wearing seatbelt thing worked in his favour though lol. |

one of my mates had been drinking and decided to drive to his next destination, which was only about 300m away. he got caught by the cops and lost his licence for being way over the limit.

No seatbelt and his head has gone into the window there?
If so, he hit it with one hell of a thud. |

He is going to have one massive headache - and that is after the hangover has passed!

In my line of work there is a staggering amount of drink drivers out there, make a stand and stop a mate or someone you know from drink driving.
Seriously, you do not know whether their number is up and/or how many people they are going to take with them. They just may be one of your family. In this instance someone was looking out for young speedy, next time, who knows, I might be attaching a body tag next time. Sorry about this, but I need to vent every so often. This ain't some dodgy e-mail forward, this is coming from a fellow e-series member.

Big Shunt.
Looks to me that the driver or something has hit the mirror which has made the damage to the windscreen more severe.

thats a pretty bad smash....... lucky the pole didnt hit the car on the drivers side. But still no seat belt, those photo's speak for themselves.

This is why I wear my seatbelt, not speed and refrain from drink driving.
